  9. one of the comments made me laugh... Foxx1234567890 (4 months ago) This is better than porn! I just got in from chopping orangewood and oak wood and I am sweating like whale! That looks so freaking cool!
  10. he said you could hammer a nail with it, so why did it break so easily? back to the drawing board methinks!
  11. one of the comments..... what a toss pot. leon de graff wrote: AG. Live your own life, because someone designates a tree as protected doesnt mean they are right and you wrong. Most of these trees were planted 140 years ago by the then land owners, they are not native to the area. The natural state of the area is heather, gorse and broom. I am surprised as an environmentalist that you do not want it returned to that state. Also Panorama road is not in danger from erosion. My problem is with an unelected jobsworth designating every tree over a certain size as protected. Why?
  12. does anyone have one of these? sorry for the pointless post but this thing is cool! (and that's saying something in the firewood section ) [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hhmKBDIAXd0]YouTube - Palax Power100S Firewood Processor version 02[/ame]

  15. Nice one! I take it the snow didn't affect your performance then...
  16. that was so funny! they have some balls you've got to admit.... "According to witnesses, protesters arrived at the event in a vintage 1960’s era Volkswagen van and began to pelt the gang members with balloons filled with red colored water, simulating blood, and shouting “you’re murderers” to passers by." this bit made me laugh the most.... "Still others claimed they were forced to eat hamburgers and hot dogs under duress. Those who resisted were allegedly held down while several bikers “farted on their heads.”"
  17. they are expanding according to this news report from half hour ago http://www.travelmole.com/stories/1140337.php
