    To be fair, Dean doesn't discriminate when it comes to beating up members of the public. Pregnant or elderly, he'll fight the lot of 'em.

    Try a day on a 3120.

    You didn't say that you had got 2 stroke on your gear. That's a different matter and you should claim for replacement. Get your insurance company to chase up a more suitable replacement vehicle. You should also push for loss of earnings if you can't do work that you had booked in. Oh, and get ready for a barrage of calls from the ambulance chasers.

    Indeed. We are monitoring dozens on one estate. They only get felled when safety requirements demand.

    British Army Pro Boots. Goretex lined and really comfy.

    Thanks mate. I just spat half my tea over the cat.

    +1 for Inonotus hispidus here.

    Saucer of milk?

    Petrol, not oil, is the one to worry about. Still going to be fun cleaning it all though.

    Don't know how true it is but I have heard that the amount in UK fuel is to be increased next year. Much as it pains me to say it, Aspen might be looking more attractive soon.

    It's all one moulded bit which is also the plug which seals the fuel tank so it's that or nothing unfortunately.

    Flywheel came off ok. Recoil spring was covered in crap so cleaned it off in petrol and reassembled. It still seems a bit tired and slow to rewind but I can't find anywhere to buy just the spring without the pulley etc. I also will need a fuel line for it as it isn't sealing in the fuel tank so I shudder to think what state it is in along the rest of it. Any ideas where to look for these online?

    And as you now already know that tape doesn't meet that standard, you would be unable to rely on its use a defence if the worst should happen.

    Ditto, but charge for the admin that you have already done.

    With Stobarts tightening the purse strings, we can take unwanted chip if you are near the Ingatestone/Brentwood area and need to tip off rather than run it all the way home. We do a nice cuppa too.

    Bit of a sweeping statement. Ramblers are often the only people who will fight to keep rights of way open when land owners like the charming van Hoogstraaten try to block them.

    Told him it was the equivalent of doing PE in your pants for forgetting your kit.

    I told Spike that he had to use it as he hadn't brought a strimmer with him.

    1 tonne Sankey which is fine for being towed around the estate behind my Isuzu. Only issue with it was I had to put a height-adjustable hitch and a combination towball on the truck but when a decent trailer is offered to you for £250, you don't mind.

    If you don't need the money or the space, keep them both.

    He got it off Geoff.

    Sorry to stay off topic, Spud. Geoff, when you drop the chip off, mention the Scythe then. I think one of the guys who did the work on it is also called Geoff.
  23. felixthelogchopper
    No apology needed. I haven't looked at it myself but if you coud post a pic that might be helpful.
  24. felixthelogchopper
    They are happy for you to bring your metal detector and could do with picking your brains about an Allen Scythe that will only turn one way.

    I think Arb is very similar to driving. A qualification is something that allows you to go out and start learning.
