  1. "Aspen....when your groundie can't be trusted to measure out 100ml of 2 stroke oil properly"
  2. Remember everybody; Arbeit macht frei.
  3. What, you're Dolly the sheep? Don't the hooves make it difficult to type?
  4. When I used to subby, it used to bug me if the other groundies were slacking but if somebody expected me to run back from the chipper then I would be forced to tell them to ram it.
  5. Don't forget to mention working in all weathers.
  6. The most important factor in drying logs out is airflow. Make sure that whatever you end up building has plenty of air going through it and also make sure that you get a layer of pallets down before you start putting your logs in.
  7. Bit cloudy and blowy here. Hope it stays dry as off to meet the volunteers at a WW1 airfield with Arbogrunt to see if we can offer a little help with some of their restoration and ecological projects.
  8. Just the pumpy.
  9. Mick told me you were somewhere between Arthur and Martha.
  10. I had a visit from Geoff today. Does that count?
  11. Just saying.....
  12. Still wondering.
  13. Bet you that you don't get a cubic metre when you stack it though. Incidentally, was the bag you are complaining about the first builder's bag that you have bought?
  14. I think we are all going round in circles here. Splitting hairs between 'he didn't tell me how big the bag is' and ' he just said it will hold 0.7 cubic metres' still doesn't avoid the fact that the difference comes about because of the difference between loose volume and stacked volume, unless of course you are saying that he told you that he was supplying a stacked volume of 0.7 cubic metres? Finally, judging an industry by people selling on Ebay is rather flawed. Just saying....
  15. But the guy you bought from told you how big the bag was. The confusion arose because you didn't realise the difference between the amount of loose logs that bag would hold and the volume they would occupy when tidily stacked. Not really anybody's fault, just a matter of inexperience.
  16. The confusion here is not the actual unit of measure but the difference between loose and stacked volumes. If you bought a loose cubic metre, ie a bag 1mx1mx1m, then you would still be left with less a cubic metre once you stacked it. I'm not criticising you as I can understand where the problem arises but I don't think you could say that the seller has given you a short measure as the question you asked concerned the size of the bag and nothing else. The inclusion of Pine in what is supposed to be a bag of hardwood is wrong though.
  17. Nobody else looking for a nice big annual order then? More than happy to have a few suppliers band together to make up the total.
  18. The seals are definitely on the list.
  19. All great ideas, far better than Stevie Blair's suggestion. Geoff's tried that one and said it was crap:lol: :lol:
  20. Thanks guys. Keep 'em coming.
  21. Myself and my long suffering better half are off to Norfolk in the morning for a few days. Anyone got any recommendations for things to do, must-sees and good places to eat/drink? Thanks in advance.
  22. I think it's depressing and rather shameful when I see the sort of oxygen-thieving dole scum this country has been producing for the last couple of decades.
  23. I've got a nice W-reg B2500 I will be selling soon but it's a double cab.
  24. Don't forget the Mazda B2500 as well as the Ranger.
