  1. How about 'Tree editing & removal tool'?

    ARB Lunch

    Big Soup on a little camping stove.
  3. People will pay to have freaky coral shrubs in their garden! I assume they would revert soon though?
  4. Firefox has a spellchecker add-on, it's brilliant
  5. LOL! Amazing. I especially loved this bit: 'I trust that when I take a claw hammer to the skull of one of these throwbacks you'll do me the same courtesy of giving me a four month head start before coming to arrest me'
  6. It does make sense I suppose, since the cutter head is slightly sloped downwards. Using a smaller file would stop you compromising the strength by gradually filing down towards the metal surrounding the rivet. But at the same time it could cause the working corner to become a 'hook' and not cut as efficiently. They could go so far as to say you must use a slightly smaller file every time you sharpen it!
  7. I'm also on £60 a day as an experienced groundsman/learner climber. I've got all my climbing kit but no saw as of yet. Ruddy car insurance renews in a few days, could have bought a shiny 200 with that money.
  8. Get 'Yes please, white with 2 sugars' printed on the back.
  9. I recommend the Tegera gloves from Clarkengineering, around £6 a pair (inc VAT). The smallest they do is size 8, find a shop that has a selection of gloves sized by numbers and find out what size your hands are.
  10. Here are a few from my College Longleat frolics, my camera's broken so i can't take any at work!

    I heard that only the T150's built in or after 2008 were under 750kg, they made the fuel tank smaller.
  12. Just received my pairs, with a snazzy Clark hat to keep my bonce warm! You guys sure know how to take care of us arbheads. I'll be ordering more once these wear out.
  13. Love it. Thanks Bundle!
  14. I've got a Hiflex jacket and I don't even consider it as a waterproof when it starts to rain, as it's only 'water resistant.' I reach for my stien jacket when the great British weather does its thing.
  15. Keyloggers can only pinch your details/passwords if you actually type them AFTER it infected your system. Thought i'd mention that to lessen the panic if anybody downloaded it. I get emails from the bank too =\ I worry for all those not in the know.
  16. Interesting. Is it also true that if that image were a hunk of conifer, the tension/compression sections would be on opposite sides? I remember being taught that under pressure, conifers build 'triceps' and broadleaves build 'biceps' of extra wood to deal with it, making it appear as though the heartwood is offset.
  17. Fell out of a Hercules? Oh sorry, we're done with the plausible answers already
  18. Ordered! Time to upgrade from my £3 Jewson's brickies gloves I think. It's still a bit chilly out there.
  19. Bingo. Thanks folks!
  20. We're using one of those as a backup just to get it to switch on, we don't like to use it to start the thing though because it doesn't fit right and it feels like we're not doing the ignition much good. The ones that we've had in the past are slightly shorter, wider and have a little black grip, can't find them anywhere though.
  21. I've ran out of spare keys for a Timberwolf 125ph, with the honda 20hp engine, any idea where I could get another key? Pull-starting is getting tiresome!
  22. Went to see it a few days ago, but 3D was totally booked out and probably has been since it was released. It wouldn't surprise me, it was an incredible film. It reminds me of something similar...Americans invading foreign soil...to forcefully take something that isn't theirs...hmm...nope, can't think of it. Anyway, we settled for 2D and it was a fantastic film. I'd watch it again, and I'm the kind of guy who doesn't even watch his own DVDs more than once.
  23. Vintage chainsaws call for vintage PPE
  24. Screw this, I'm getting an Ibuki. Blood comes back.
