  1. Not on Cizzer just in a funny mood, not done much flying this year weather too bad.
  2. Important things to do at the weekend. 1, This. 2, That. 3, The other. 1. This can be done anytime. 2. That needs to be done before This. 3. The Other needs to be done after This and That. "Sorted":thumbup:
  3. A computer once beat me at chess, but it was no match for me at kick boxing.
  4. I may be wrong and strange as it might seem but i don't think that you can use Teak oil on Teak.
  5. That is so nice, i always feel that it is a real privilege to be the first one to see inside a tree when milling, nature can and does come up with some great offerings.
  6. Looking into my crystal ball i can say with the utmost confidence the the winner will be the team that scores the most goals in the final:thumbup:
  7. " imported" 2 cans of it from france last year, it was only 15 of the funny money they use over there. then on monday i was doing a big milling job in Queens Camel, the bloke i was milling with forgot to bring the Aspen so i sent him to Yeovil to get some and he came back with 3 cans of motomix. the cans are really robust not like the ones i "imported" from france and yes the quick fills do fit. i didn't get a chance to evaluate the 2 year shelf life cos it was all used in 2 days.
  8. Hi, If your looking to buy a 660 at some time in the future i would recommend that you buy the 30" mill. it would mean that on your currant set up you would have about 14" of rail sticking out the far end but this would avoid buying the 24" mill and then adding the 30/36" rails at a later date. the ripping chains are a good idea and as said in another post i would get a granburg and an oregon, the former will cause less friction on the smaller saw and bar. hope this helps.
  9. A man was riding a bus, minding his own business when the gorgeous woman next to him started to breast feed her baby. The baby wouldn't take it, so she said, "Come on, sweetie, eat it all up or I'll have to give it to this nice man next to us." Five minutes later, the baby was still not feeding, so she said, "Come on, honey. Take it or I'll give it to this nice man here." A few minutes later, the man blurted out, "Come on, kid. Make up your mind! I was supposed to get off four stops ago!"
  10. My car's fan belt snapped and I had no money on me to buy another. Luckily, I knew how to use the wife's tights to fix it. I put them on my head and robbed Halfords.
  11. Doug Smith is on his deathbed and knows the end is near. His nurse, his wife, his daughter and 2 sons are with him. So, he says to them: "Bernie, I want you to take the Mayfair houses." "Sybil, you take the apartments over in the east end." "Jamie, I want you to take the offices over in the City Centre." "Sarah, my dear wife, please take all the residential buildings on the banks of the river." The nurse is just blown away by all this, and as Doug slips away, she says, "Mrs. Smith, your husband must have been such a hard-working man to have accumulated all this property". Sarah replies, "Property ? .... the asshole had a paper route!"
  12. After having dug to a depth of 10 meters last year, Scottish scientists found traces of copper wire dating back 100 years and came to the conclusion that their ancestors already had a telephone network more than 100 years ago. Not to be outdone by the Scots, in the weeks that followed, English scientists dug to a depth of 20 meters, and shortly after, headlines in the English newspapers read: "English archaeologists have found traces of 200-year-old copper wire and have concluded that their ancestors already had an advanced high-tech communications network a hundred years earlier than the Scots." One week later, "The Kerrymen," a southwest Irish newsletter, reported the following: "After digging as deep as 30 meters in peat bog near Tralee, Paddy O'Droll, a self-taught archaeologist, reported that he found absolutely nothing. Paddy has therefore concluded that 300 years ago, Ireland had already gone wireless."
  13. Hi Mark, hard to say without some pics and or dimensions, where in North dorset are you or where are the trees.
  14. i screw mine down with a couple of turbo screws ( the ones with the 8mm hex head) the 6" wide plank will give you a more stable surface to work with, it doesn't have to be 2" thick 1.1/2 to 1.3/4" will do.
  15. Hi Steve, if you check the length of the mini-mill rails you will find that each one is 2 foot long. my set up is based on an 8 ft by 6x2 inch plank. if you screw 4 of the rails to the plank and then cut the plank in half you will have 2 four foot planks that you can use on any length of tree simply by leap frogging the planks.
  16. A Farmer in Cornwall see's a bloke drinking from his stream & shouts, "Wozzon! Ee dun wanna be drinkin dat, it's full of horse piss an cow The bloke says "I'm from london and just purchased a property in the village can you speak bit slower please". The Farmer replies "If - you -use - two - hands - you - won't - spill - any"!!!!!
  17. While walking home from school one day, little Johnny sees his Daddy’s car passing the playground and going into the woods. Somewhat curious, he follows the car and sees Daddy and Aunt Jane kissing. He finds this so exciting and can barely contain himself as he runs home and starts to tell his mother excitedly. “I was at the playground and I saw Daddy’s car go into the woods with Aunt Jane. I went to see what was happening and I saw and Daddy was giving Aunt Jane a big kiss, then he helped her take off her shirt, then Aunt Jane helped Daddy take his pants off, then Aunt Jane laid down on the seat, then Daddy….” At this point, his mother had an idea and cut him off, “Johnny, this is such an interesting story. I think you should save the rest of it for supper time because I want to see the look on Daddy’s face when you tell it tonight.” . . . . . . Later that night at the dinner table, Mommy asks Johnny to tell his story. He describes the car going into the woods, the undressing, laying down on the seat and, “Then Daddy and Aunt Jane did that same thing Mommy and Uncle Jeff used to do when Daddy was in the Navy.
  18. Honeymoon at Home: Fred and Mary got married but can’t afford a honeymoon, so they go back to Fred’s Mom and Dad’s for their first night together. In the morning, Johnny, Fred’s little brother, gets up and has his breakfast. As he is going out of the door to go to school, he asks his mom if Fred and Mary are up yet. She replies, “No”. Johnny asks, “Do you know what I think?” His mom replies, “I don’t want to hear what you think! Just go to school.” Johnny comes home for lunch and asks his mom, “Are Fred and Mary up yet?” She replies, “No.” Johnny says, “Do you know what I think?” His mom replies, “Never mind what you think! Eat your lunch And go back to school.” After school, Johnny comes home and asks again, “Are Fred and Mary up yet?” His mom says, “No..” He asks, “Do you know what I think?” His mom replies, “Ok, now tell me what you think?” He says: “Last night Fred came to my room for some Vaseline and I think…. I gave him my airplane glue.”

  20. Hi mate, i would go for the 24" mill its a much more stable platform.
  21. Do you have feelings of inadequacy? Do you suffer from shyness? Do you sometimes wish you were more assertive? If you answered yes to any of these questions, ask your doctor or pharmacist about Cabernet Sauvignon. Cabernet Sauvignon is the safe, natural way to feel better and more confident about yourself and your actions. It can help ease you out of your shyness and let you tell the world that you're ready and willing to do just about anything. You will notice the benefits of Cabernet Sauvignon almost immediately and, with a regimen of regular doses, you can overcome any obstacles that prevent you from living the life you want to live. Shyness and awkwardness will be a thing of the past and you will discover many talents you never knew you had. Stop hiding and start living. Cabernet Sauvignon may not be right for everyone. Women who are pregnant or nursing should not use it. However, women who wouldn't mind nursing or becoming pregnant are encouraged to try it. Side effects may include: dizziness, nausea, vomiting, incarceration, loss of motor control, loss of clothing, loss of money, loss of virginity, delusions of grandeur, table dancing, headache, dehydration, dry mouth, and a desire to sing Karaoke and play all-night rounds of Strip Poker, Truth Or Dare, and Naked Twister. WARNINGS: The consumption of Cabernet Sauvignon may make you think you are whispering when you are not. The consumption of Cabernet Sauvignon may cause you to tell your friends over and over again that you love them. The consumption of Cabernet Sauvignon may cause you to think you can sing. The consumption of Cabernet Sauvignon may create the illusion that you are tougher, smarter, faster and better looking than most people. Now just imagine what you could achieve with a good Shiraz.
