  1. never been hurt by lighting fires but had a dustbin size incinerator with a chimney lid, it went out so poured in the petrol and poked a match in a hole near the base, the lid shot up in the sky.. so much fun i did it again:thumbup: get well soon feller
  2. but delicious:eating:
  3. what colour is it kev?
  4. in the dormant season is best to avoid bleeding, they shouldn't need much just deadwooding etc. its a bit late now. Ed
  5. yeah just checked, found a damp tenner wrapped round my phone, a fist full of sawdust and fluff and two dated 20p's edit.. and a seriously worn bank card that has taken a right beating even though its quite new
  6. your shabby bid of £500.20 falls a bit short matey:laugh1:
  7. just backing up a foot works too:thumbup:
  8. oi hands off my twigs:thumbup:
  9. i'll take it instead of that £20 you owe me,
  10. would that be one wrap or two? gloves don't come cheap you know:001_smile:
  11. allergy to dustmites in bedroom?
  12. landy with pubic hair on its muttnutts:thumbup:
  13. does anyone know of any countries that don't get pollen from end of may for two months? also does anyone know of any tree work in these countries?
  14. yea big time, it started about 6yrs ago and kept getting worse with grass pollen, if someone starts mowing in the next garden in summer i just go home. not too bad lastyear as i started taking benadryl plus about now and doing the nasal spray twice a day, it still gets so bad i feel like migrating for the season, people who don't have it don't realise how disabling it is, can't breathe, see, itchy eyes and nose and of course sneezing.
  15. two days ago i saw a bunch of teens throwing a line of cones over a wall, i was rushing or the scrotes would have gone over too
  16. i hate eye scratches, i got a splinter inside my top right eyelid, it was the exact second the pic in my avatar was taken chogging down a wee pear. i got a bit of sawdust in last month and like an idiot rubbed it and made it worse:thumbdown:
  17. turn the light off? i had a mate who said he had trouble with sleeping, i told him a pint of whisky would cure anything and next time i saw him he said it wasn't a good idea. dark cold room with loads of exercise during the day
  18. here's what i do every few months, i think its funny that folk think its challenging when i'd not think twice to most of it with the chipper on the back:thumbup:[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J3XA7OQIBlY]YouTube - Ae club bash *[/ame]
  19. with you're name in sequins on the back eh?
  20. that looks cool, there's some good links on that site to other manufacturers. i use this old thing and its ace:thumbup1: really labour saving
  21. that sounds like a nightmare. monday ; two decent size lombardy pops in the next county, one with bt lines, the other with a lamppost under it (full of nails) early finish and all logs/chip left on site, found a mangled saw chain in the chip pile..ooops tuesday ; awkward dismantle over a crispy asbestos barn roof with early finish including a play with my new chainsaw:biggrin: wednesday; late start, hedgetrimming a neat high leylandii hedge and two birch and rowan fells, early finish thursday ; job cancelled till next week so late start, strip ivy from house wall, sit on ridge tiles and drink tea, go home early, change chipper blades and grease. friday ; lay-in, rewire fuel gauge on landy at last, it now reads over half-full when i thought it was nearly empty:thumbup:, dropped the missus off at her mothers to have a wknd away, been to the pub and had a chinese and the weekend is mine to prep the landies for next weeks mot:thumbup1:
  22. nice plough there.. oh, oh dear its a chipper haha, what a cool noise, i fell in love with mogs when i heard a loaded one roaring up a steep hill.
  23. i do enjoy a free climb every now and then, today we looked at climbing a 150cm dbh oak for fun, it wouldn't have been very exciting as it was only 30ft tall, instead we took our pots of tea and sat on the ridgetiles of the clients house (where the cctv can't see us) for 20mins. i free climbed a larch while camping two years ago, about 40ft above the pitch hanging on by one hand showing off i thought this is a bit silly and scrambled back down.
  24. i'm trying millers oil chainsaw bar oil Engine Oil, Car Oil, Gearbox Oil, Motorcycle Oil, Industrial Oil, Millers Oils they have three different grades of chain oil, im using the thinnest and it lubes the chain better than the stihl oil at low temps, i'll try the thicker stuff when we get constant warm weather, all three have antifling additive, i use millers for all my oils used in the landies and chipper, only problem is they are pricey for small quantities £15 per gallon for chain oil, but much cheaper for a 205litre drum approx £250! edit. looks like you have to contact them for prices,
