  1. Bollox mate. Classrooms are a way of condensing a lifetimes learning and experience into a nice easily packaged and very accessible format. Study books are the result of years of experience being collated and presented.
  2. 'maker'??????? do you mean builder... And there are many different levels of stone waller mate, some being very skilled, some what one would call stone stackers:001_tt2:

    Nice one Andy. It does look like a good little 'extra' to tack onto the end of capel.
  4. Looks like a trip to ALDI is in order then...
  5. I think you are being grossly negative really Mike. I have boundless respect for your experience, knowledge and drive, but the 2 best climbers i have seen are 58 (mentioned earlier) and 42. The 58 y.o got into tree work late according to you, and has a phenomenal reputation. I have worked alongside another groundy with him climbing, and 2 of us were struggling to keep the brash cleared....all day long....until about 7.30pm. He has had carpal tunnel ops, and is missing about 1/3 of one foot, but i have yet to see many that will keep up with him. It is almost like watching someone in a comp....almost. My point is that there is no general rule IMO. A large part of it is mind over matter, and sheer determination.

    Yeah its unreal.....hundreds of kids entrusted with the security arangements. WTF. No wonder someone found it possible to run keys over ady's disco. Where were the responsible adults i wonder.
  7. At the risk of sounding critical, which i am not being, are your dogs welded to you?

    Yeah- but from then on the night just got funnier............
  9. Happy Birthday mate! Have a nice day.
  10. Very. I know one person who made a seriious enquiry....and ended up approaching schleising direct in germany who were very helpful indeed apparently..
  11. By far and away the most effective brushcutter attachment i have seen was an italian st up similar to the brogio, but used old chainsaw chain turned inside out- cutting with the drivelinks- and it was brilliant. A friend has used them for a few years in Italy with no problems. Yet to find a source in the UK tho.

    We have been wondering about those lumps mate...just too embarrased to ask!!
  13. Looked at this today at capel...very sexy pulley indeed, but i opted for an ISC one as the opening mechanism is simpler- no thread- and i think that it would be easier to use in cold wet conditions. At least i hope so or i have missed out there lol!

    Yeah terrible news on the scratching of the disco. Sorry for that Ady. Mahoussive thanks to Mr Lofthouse for sorting out a transfer box and bringing it all the way down for me. I owe you one....or lots....for that mate.:thumbup1:

  16. Im running the BFG KM2s at the back and some fairly new KM's at the front. The new ones are good off road, but on-road do seem to drag a bit more than the old style, but they have got big shoulder lugs. This also makes them a bit louder on tarmac.
  17. Like has been said- DO NOT burn in situ, as they LOVE this. That is what their natural environment is....regular fires.
  18. Wow ade- nice camelia. Whereabouts in your garden is that...you can show me tomorrow...
  19. You misunderstand....:001_rolleyes:Just not for me thats all...

    200t carb.

    I dont know- as soon as he loooked at it and i fired it up he knew what it was....and said they keep one in stock, so i fitted it and put it on the account and the saw is great. I imagine its the same as was fitted on the 020 as the triangular rubber bit with the adjuster screws fits...
  21. That looks like the tool. I like the use of the top link.
