  1. i bet most people don't even give it a thought. thanks though justin - i thought it was that screw but just wanted to make sure.
  2. The horseflies are bad enough in the woods we work in! I was bitten on the arm by a couple of them and it swelled up to the point i looked like some kind of Popeye freak!
  3. Can someone point me in the right direction please? thanks
  4. anyone used one of these before? looks quite good for the price, although if my past record of truck spotting is anything to go by then this will be **** 2003 MERCEDES 614 TIPPER 03 REG ALLOY BODY ROLLER BOX on eBay (end time 07-Aug-09 14:53:58 BST)
  5. well, granted this is based on a 5-10 year old opinion but they tend to have the worst craftmanship of the medium range bikes. they tend to be marketed as really upmarket bikes by halfords argos etc... for a bit more money Giant would be be a much better alternative however if you have owned one and been happy with it then fair enough... maybe they have bucked their ideas up edit: in response to j.hancock
  6. don't buy GT bikes. ever.
  7. send it back now rather than finding out in a week or so that you don't get on with it...

  11. i just got a quote from tripp batt in stanton (between bury and diss) for a 12" 200t - £437 inc vat which is the best price around here. It's best to buy locally as the after sales support/service is good + you have to support your local companies in these hard times
  12. well at least you have good spelling time like this that being able to edit original posts would be nice....

  17. ok that makes sense. i should of thought of that. i couldn't use them - i was given some in a club once so i thought i would try them out but they kept falling out and after about 30 mins they came out all waxy! and as you said i can see the helmet wobbling about a fair bit
  18. In nearly all the videos and pictures I've seen of American tree surgeons, no-one has ear defenders whilst using a saw... Do you all have industrial strength ear drums??? I can't stand using a saw for longer than a few seconds without them....
  19. someone googled 'google' and the interweb exploded.

  22. "...and news just in... A 59 year old man from Arkansas who entered the record books last year for eating a whole tree in one sitting has just passed the resulting stool. Due to his apparent super-human like sphincter, the stool has appeared as seasoned, processed fire wood!"
