Agree with you there scraggs,and best time to go knocking is about 9 on a sunday morning ive found.

Like most villages we have a memorial inscribed with the names who fell in the two wars from here,and the other night some little scrote nicked the heavy decorative chain that encircles it,that had been there since 1924.

Good work there Adam.

theres a beet pad with big bales on 3 sides near my yard,noticed a big new mercedes tucked right inside the corner one lunch time, so i thought whats that doin there.Drove up to it,windows bit steamy and startled a couple on the back seat.Then realised what was happening. I cleared off and left them to it.

Sensible!!!! Suggestions for Combating Theft
oldwoodcutter replied to woodland's topic in General chat
I had a couple of young scruffs walk in to my main yard on a scouting expidition the other day,after any scrap at all. I gave them some free advice as to the quickest way back out,and that if they came back in again they'd feel my old boot up their backsides. -
Yes Ian,ive got one, and very good it is too. Also get out my dolmar 111 from time to time,hasnt missed a beat in yonks.
-
Would be handy enough to do a bit of logging up i suppose.
-
Sometimes let them ride to the jobsite with me,but under strict instruction not to fart,spit,smoke,or relate last nights liason with some young 'lady' ,whilst in the vehicle.

460 is a very handy saw, 25" and 18" bars and will be able to do a good variety of cutting work. Hope this helps rowan.

The lowest of the low,resorting to stealing another mans belongings. -
Pal of mines got a 53 plate defender done about 80k and he's always crawling underneath it. He refers to it as 3 oil leaks connected by an electrical fault.

About 50 years ago mrs oldwoodcutters dad took me into the slaughterhouse where he worked in Halifax. Does that count?
-
For what its worth TCD,i know of 2 brian james trailers that just about disintigrated with use,this was few years ago when he was starting to do more than just car transporters. When i was in a bateson dealers yard last year i saw a big pallet stacked high with faulty axles being returned to stockport. Ive had a brenderup bravo for the last 5 years and i cant fault it.
-
Yes,agree with that,i only wear mine for lifting something heavy,or if the job involves a lot of humping i wear it. Like most in this game my back muscles are strong,but my vert is worn.
-
No mate,just 6" wide with heavy duty velcro to adjust it,was ok when you're upright,but found that it would burst apart when you bent down as velcro not up to it. With the buckled leather one nothing moves.
-
My back suffered wear in middle age.Got a weightlifters belt i wear if doing a lot of heavy humping. Did have one of those elasticated velcro ones,but get on better with traditional buckle and 2 prong type.

Reduced and sided up a manky old roadside hedge that hadnt seen a trimmer in 10 years. Worked nice and steady all morning with a few more sit down breaks in the shade than usual and finished early afternoon. Took my usual 2 bottles of 750ml water,but didnt drink it all.

Mainly sporting,hadnt done skeet for yonks but returned to it recently as a warm up before a round of sporting and enjoy that too now.
-
Lets all hope its going to be another cold winter.

If someone nicked our hens mrs oldwoodcutter would be in a right flap. What a foul crime.

A old cat died and went to heaven,God met her at the gates and said you've been a good cat,whatever you want just ask. Old cat said all my life ive slept on a cold barn floor,ide like a huge fluffy pillow.God smiled and immediatly gave her a pillow. Short while later 6 mice arrived after all being killed together in a accident,God met them and made the same offer. We've spent all our lives running away from cats and dogs and humans,if we could just have some tiny roller skates,we'd never have to run again.Consider it done,and they all had skates. After a week god checked on old cat,who was asleep on its soft pillow,woke her and asked how she was getting on,are you happy? Everything is wonderful the cat replied,those meals on wheels you've been sending over are absolutly delicious.

In the next life ime coming back as mick jagger,and trouser the sort of money he got last night for a couple of hours work.
