Things happen too fast to give you a chance to react, the visor might help slow the chain down a bit, but offers no protection per se. To the op, get well soonest, & well done owning up to your error.

That is harsh, I hope you can get up & running soonest.

Am I right in thinking the new 170 is a china made saw? I was after buying one from my dealer, as the last one I had was bombproof, (I gave in away to a relative), & was advised against.

I'm not arguing, merely confused by your apparent contradiction, feel free to reply.
-
So do you agree he 'is quite right', as you posted, or, as in the post after, that there are good & bad in every country? Seems rather muddled & contradictory to me. Also, to say you just 'repeated what someone else told me', well it's your post, so you either stand by it, ( as you did), or why else post it?:confused1:

No worries, got some photo evidence if needed!

You sir are a fair judge of character, & will not require rule 4 to be applied in this instance, as you are not actually calling me insensitive. Even had you, I'm sure your position would have been judged a fair call by our minions!

Yep, I have a way with words, I need to use lots of them to make my point, ho hum.

I notice that you have added the last line in this post after I replied, smoke & mirrors? Yes, as a straight up bloke I will admit that my location might well skew my opinion here, but my grip on reality is sound, as was my first post in this matter, to which you have found no response appertaining to it, other than observations of my person. Keep it third party, & on subject or it is pointless mate.
-
Sure, I agree with you on that statement, but dispute the validity of the link as described in my last post, & hence find your post to be a little weak by way of response to my post, come on you can do better than that!

Very nice, enjoy!

That research was carried out in one area, known for poor work prospects if I am reading it right. That would not reflect the general traits for the whole country, in fact you could argue that to use it as a generic model for the whole of the uk might be a deliberate skew of the reality.

Spot on. It's obvious, unless one is trying to convince oneself that it's ok to steal something, coz that's what it is, theft.

As Huck says,4/5 ton. That's still a nice lump for some homeowner to scratch away at, free too which is refreshing considering some of the adds about.
-
That's bad, were they selective in what was taken, there seems to be a pattern developing in some areas.

Might be fun, I had a Dartmoor pony some years back, he loved a bit of work, too small for riding but I used to drive him everywhere with a flat cart, & used him to pull dead wood up from the woods. Heres a donkey earning a crust: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BB4ThjA2NHg]Donkey's fat, Egypt - YouTube[/ame]

When it comes to drink/drugs at work it really is a no brainer. Not bothered about what is legal or not, just common sense. Bit like a ported saw is ok in my books, but one with a defective structure or safety feature like chainbrake is a no no. On that note, got your saw back, so when I get a chance next week I will pm you to expect it.

Hang around on here for a while, read loads of different threads, & you will glean loads of information. Welcome too!

I'm struggling to see where any argument comes from, you simply should not work under the influence, any one who doesn't get that, or argues against it is probably too deranged to be employable! As an industry we should all recognise that, as do other industries. Simples.

Rule 4, no need for your comment imo. Arbtalk.co.uk - Forum Rules

Me too!

It does split quite heavily over a fairly short time.

I cant see any 'dogfight' comments here personally, so agree with Paul (above), but anyone turning out for work in anyway affected by intoxicants is out of order, whatever one gets up to in their private life.
