  1. all that sitting down pressing buttons will make you into a fatty:lol:
  2. heres some of mine from last winter:biggrin:, a couple of pallets placed to get airflow through helps a lot, and a roof at least a few inches above the pile
  3. Anti Slip Racket Handle Band Grip for Badminton Tennis | eBay UK get a few of these, they might be available in other colours too if its not the weekend.
  4. have you checked the oil hole in the bar?
  5. get the job finished to a high standard, if no payment shows up when its due then take all the lads that worked on the job to find out why nobodys getting paid. i hate people like that and hope it works out for the best. i'd love to come and help disrupt their lives with a blockade of arb trucks doing essential emergency work outside their driveway (butties, beer n chainsaw carving) but it shouldn't come to that.
  6. because stihl never made a scabbard that good:lol:
  7. think its going on ebay as 'pot o gold', maybe someone will realise its true value?
  8. i have to just nip out down to the yard and drop off some erm... woodchippings. where's me hammer and chisel?
  9. the concrete plug went through the middle of the piece, the cut below just nicked the bottom of the concrete. the lumps and bumps were trimmed off all the way round to make it a nice rolling log, it was more a balancing act than struggling with the weight as we didn't want it to roll off the ramp bridge and get jammed in the gap. nice feature log for ebay?
  10. the authorities i can live with, neighbours who have to scream every word to each other, mostly very bad language 10ft from my back door get no respect from me and deserve to cough on my nasty fumes, i could have started the dumper as it smokes for england but it would have meant some extra shunting. i don't get mad but i do enjoy getting even:laugh1:
  11. come and visit anytime, i'll show you the sights, no need to meet the neighbours.. you can hear them in the next street:lol:
  12. had the neighbours being loud in their garden tonight, effing and shouting (been drinking) so went and started the work tug up, did a few shunts so the fumes were close to the fence with the engine drowning out their noise and proceeded to unload a few chogs from the truck onto the trailer making sure they were hitting the tailgate and sides bang crash rattle rattle, two can play that game hahahaha. when i had finished 5mins later they had disappeared and all was quiet. edit, i could have done it all silently without even starting the truck
  13. speed designed axle is good too, not wheelbarrow tyres with no bearings, tyres will say 'not for highway use' unless they are ancient if not fit for purpose
  14. looks like i was struggling and lee was trying to stroke my hand, didn't notice at the time!
  15. ok so the first one is obviously carved, the second is burned but i think its one of them faces that the more you look at it the more different faces/expressions you see?
  16. yes keeps chainspeed high, less bogging down etc:001_smile:
  17. you never skipped down the schoolyard with a chainsaw chain? health n safety gone mad i guess. its a skiptooth chain, got more gaps than usual between cutters:thumbup1:
  18. Hi mate, where did you say you were based? im in huddersfield if you ever want to drop by, i can show you the basics before your course if you want. have you got any climbing kit yet or are you waiting till after the course? Ed.

  19. fine if you want to be stuck just after a speedbump with a broken chassis:lol:, i passed mine on to the next guy and hopefully he was a bit gentler on the old girl, the isuzu engine and running gear is pretty bombproof just let down by a weak rotten chassis. vauxhall were very clever when they took the front end of the brava, added a rear body and called it a FRONTera, i was also running one of them at the same time and it was nice as everything was the same under the front.
  20. just remember to prick the berries first, also once you drink the bottlefull later in the year you can eat the sloes as they will have lost a lot of the bitter taste:thumbup:
  21. nowt wrong with the brava, just remember when the ladder rack starts tapping the cab when you have a load in its ebay time. i would have kept mine forever if i could have found a galvy chassis for it, there was more repairs than original chassis, got years of hard use out of it and still sold it for more than i paid. cabstar is a good choice if you put 4x4 tyres on to help with the one wet leaf that will show its weakness.
  22. didn't see that confusing anyone haha, yes its a real photo not on a flyer. here's a flyer in my local chippy.. should keep my pics on track eh?
  23. company the other side of town uses this for arbvertising
  24. just keep the scabbard on, can't be too safe these days:thumbup:
