Any chance you've got some muck in your fuel intake filter?

Ah, cheers. So nothing reacts with the glyphosate and reduces its effect. 'Spose anything water-based will do it. Feel stupid now!

Hi all Thought it a good idea to colour my glyphosate mix so I know where it's been applied. Would food dye do it, or is there something else commonly used? 'spose I could just try it of course. Cheers

Ho Ho. Don't the bears mind? (Wouldn't mind being able to climb like the buggers!)

Hi I did my CS30/31 and then CS38/39 as a 52 year old no problem. Mainly for interest and for non-professional work reasons. People rock climb and mountaineer into their late 60's and beyond - if they keep their health, so try to do that and you should be fine... but remember you don't heal as quick as the young 'uns, so avoid those pendulums! Best wishes

Cheers all. Some interesting points - I will feed this back to the lad. All saws need proper handling of course!

I was trying to advise a friend about buying a cheap (Aldi) electric chainsaw for yard/firewood use and he mentioned that he'd been told that they can kickback more than a petrol one. Is this true? The only rationale I could think of is that perhaps the chain doesn't go as fast as a petrol's and so more likely to catch rather than cut if you stick the nose in. Or, perhaps given the assumed typical buyer the chain's so blunt after a week or so that it'll kick back for that reason, and /or not knowing how to avoid kickback in the first place. Any comments? Cheers

Good luck with that - the prognosis is normally good I think if you get it quick. Great that you give us the reminder - I note Screwfix have a "Check your Nuts" campaign too - so thanks for that. Best wishes.

On other forums (i.e. UKC climbing forum) this would be immediately denounced as a 'troll' whether or not it was a serious question.
