  1. First aid would be good, full driving licence with ability to tow, maybe a chipper cert. Just noticed, it's your first post, so welcome to Arbtalk Alec, you can learn lots on here, it's a good place for you to be.
  2. I don't think it was a 'lecture' Adam, just one person expressing what it meant to them,some like these occasions some don't.

    Jokes???

    Probably posted before, but it was funny! [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kWmbXMXns28]Monty Python - Flying Circus - The Fish Slapping Dance - YouTube[/ame]
  4. Been round to see my father, pretty much caring for him recently, bless him. Might not get to hear from my daughter, she is more interested in her new boyfriend than her old dad, bl**dy teenagers! A thought goes out from me to Little Green Woodchopper today
  5. At last!
  6. Get a good fence round it, try to find out the culprit & warn them off. Despicable behaviour. you could pop some flyers into the local houses explaining what has happened, asking the residents to keep an eye out & offering a reward for info, I bet the perp moaned about the tree before taking this action.

    Or the gay cowboy who rode into town & shot up the sheriff.
  8. :biggrin:I would give good money to see the'out takes'!
  9. That's a cool measured post, one of the best Iv'e seen in a while.
  10. If you mean the 350tes as the old one, the motor is slightly uprated, the chainbrake handle is mounted at both sides, the left grab handle is downwards rather than sweeping back, 14" bar, & an adjusting block can be swapped over for palm support on the top handle. Other than that you will have to look at the specs, basically it feels a stronger saw to me.
  11. No mate, ask away, that's one of the virtues of Arbtalk, getting info & advice. Don't let anything detract from that or we all lose out. My penny's worth, as a non owner of a trolley, I should have got one ages ago for the domestic jobs with a long drag/ logwood removal, they speed up productivity, save a lot of labour & mess. What other trade would consider it viable to hand haul all that waste by hand!
  12. The M25, at night, soul destroying, you must be thick skinned to suffer that,let alone admit to it on here.
  13. Ahh bless, probably got too stuffed to climb down!
  14. Yep, I agree, & I'm glad not too much was taken this time.
  15. That does not surprise me one bit mate, mine is fresh, & yet has an impressive output, way above what I expected, thing is the motor seems to be keen to please,glitch free, & running on a good carb, how refreshing!
  16. Great pics Chris, & I must say, you wear your heart on your sleeve mate, it's so refreshing to read this thread, no pretence, just how it is.
  17. Oh, another good point, as said, the build quality is second to none, & the lanyard clip is bombproof, the best I have seen which is refreshing!
  18. I have put two tanks of Aspen through my 360tes, it seems a good saw, plenty of power, clean running etc, I like the balance too. Only small gripes: fuel filler hole is fairly small compared to a Stihl, I would like the kill switch to be 'off' when pushed towards the bar, rather than having to be pulled towards the operator, & think it could do with a more aggressive chain on it, but mine is running a 14 inch bar with no problems, I'm going to get hold of RobD & see if a nice pointy bar & chain can be supplied for it in 12 inch, similar to the shape of the ms150t bar in shape, as it would be great for light pruning too. The saw is still tight & new, but is a little screamer, very promicing indeed!
  19. Nice thought of you mate, but she was probably shook up & frightened from the harassment she got earlier, I would have gone & sat with her when it was happening,but easy said in hindsight,you showed kindness.
  20. That's good forward planning mate! most people just use them for extra traction here in Essex!
  21. Yep, good clean inside & flush the tanks out keeps them sweet.
  22. Great people; Diamond coated vanity blade / Abtec4Abrasives
  23. Blimey mate, that's not good keep us posted on here as to how you are holding up.
  24. My dog just got to eat my sausage sandwich, think I will have a boiled egg instead. That looks like you are going to be sore for some time, I hope you heel fast mate.
  25. Small update for those not fed up reading this thread, Maldon police station, & braintree pc both have saws recovered for id, so if you are one of the Essex victims get in touch with them, they do not contact you:001_rolleyes:. All the stuff I have seen has been recovered from various local trallelers, fact not racism. I'm not after causing a hate campaign, but beware. I also got followed & photographed by a 4x4 with two young swarthy types in it, yesterday, I pulled over after I was sure, & followed them until they fled at high speed.
