  1. Good choice of pellets. What's the rifle?
  2. My money's on at least one lot of them underestimating the food bill. Looks like a cracking dog.
  3. Both decent firms to work for.
  4. Perhaps she should have asked about the CPS instead.
  5. Husqvarna 357 bought off somebody whose insurance company was generous after they had been raided. Still my 'go to' saw today after 7 years.
  6. Nearly new Husqvarna 236 that I swapped for a day's labour. I've moved on a bit since then but it got me started and is still doing good service with my other half's Dad.
  7. My mate Keith said that's weird.
  8. Straight outta Ginsters.
  9. Very close, and well done for finding them.
  10. But there would also be a gun to be taken and misused where before there wasn't one.
  11. When I was at school some of the teachers were psycho enough with a board rubber, let alone a gun.

  13. Hope he washes his hands after the salt and vinegar strokes.
  14. Thanks for the reply. I have heard back from Handy with a suggestion of how to bleed it from another point so I will give that a try then have a bit more of a poke around for what you mention. There is a definite difference in speed between rising from the log and descending to it, with the up stroke being much faster with a little noise and juddering which I had put down to trapped air.
  15. I have a Handy Pro 7 tonne 3kW electric splitter which has recently developed a problem where it has no real power on the downward stroke. It travels down slowly and stops at the log, barely marking it. It is fine on the return stroke, moving quickly in comparison. It was slow when I first got it and I'm not the first owner, although it had hardly any signs of use. I do use an extension lead but it is heavy duty and our qualified and time-served electrician says it is man enough for the voltage being drawn. I have changed the hydraulic oil using the correct grade but when I did there was a lot of air in the oil so I have left it to settle for a few days. Unfortunately, it has been used without the bleed vent being opened so I am wondering if that would have damaged any seals and, if so, which ones. Any useful suggestions from the Arbtalk think tank gratefully received.
  16. Given what the OP has already written on this thread, I'm sure it wouldn't.
  17. I had it once from a certain car hire company that mixes English and American values over a sub-£100 job. I found that going into their busy offices where I had done the work and asking in front of their customers for the details of their head office so I could take them to court for non-payment seemed to do the trick.
  18. Here's something that made me smile. http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/lions-eat-suspected-poacher-in-south-africa-leaving-just-his-head_uk_5a82b929e4b0892a0352a305?ncid=newsltuknew00000001AOL UK 021318
  19. Nothing odd about that. That's the King's Cross branch.
  20. Are you suggesting that he is not a major contributor to overseas aid?
  21. The title is who you look like, not who you like the look of.
  22. I remember talking to Paul when the quest for the million pound turn over was on and being amazed by the rates worked for (company, not staff) in order to achieve the sale to the big yellow machine.
