    Good luck. I thought I hated sit down exams, and then I did NEBOSH ‘practicals’ and decided the sit down exams were the better bit…. At least with them the horror is over in a couple of hours.

    @benedmonds Did you get it done in the end? How did you find it t?
  3. Bolt
    Ha, though the Devon reference would flush you out. 🙂 How’s Sweden?

    FWIW, we had a loud irritating noise, that was clearly related to how strong the wind was blowing, that resonated all over the upstairs….. after extensive investigations, it turned out to be a crappy plastic downpipe that resonated in the middle because the support clips were spaced too far apart.

    This is your classic 50hz hum, familiar with those who hang out near electrical substations (or use mains hair clippers).

    How about getting everyone to bang on about how sh it the housing, healthcare, roads, water quality, tv, education, weather, Devon, politicians, railways, covid response etc. etc. etc. are? No one will want to come here.

    No, the fallout from that little misadventure left a very bad taste in the mouth!

    I think the last, and possibly the only thing I have put in a slow cooker was an ignition coil, as touted by Leon…

    Do you reckon the frequency of the hum is 50hz / fixed / variable / random?
  10. Bolt
    Sorry, but what? I’m not really sure I understand what any of that means.

    I think you will find ‘a bit diy’ equates to a corduroy motorcycle suit. Just ear muffs could be considered the sign of a pro in this parish.

    I read this as ‘to come to terms with’ (as in you ‘get over’ being made redundant, or you ‘get over’ being cheated on by a so called lover), rather than to make the problem magically not exist any more. Generally, you ‘get over’ something once it just doesn’t seem like as big a deal as your other problems. I can’t think of the last time I lay awake at night, trying to come to terms with all the money I have spent on Aspen.

    Man, check out those teeth! They are going to be perfect for Halloween. 🎃

    AHPP 1. When was the last time you paid a subscription to the Arb Association? Don't post anything else. 1. When was the last time you paid a subscription to the Arb Association?

    Sorry. Missed you point completely. It certainly won’t be the last time. Interestingly, the mighty Chinese reverse engineering machine has become aware of manufacturing parts for obsolete saws. They are normally not expensive, and delivery can be peanuts. Never really sure of the quality though. Sometimes it’s amazing, sometimes it’s… er … astonishing. I find it’s best to order far more units than you need, and do the QC yourself so you can select the bits to use, and the bits to reject!
  16. Bolt
    Well yes. But if you want to limit yourself to boring new of the shelf bits, you can do what everyone else does and just buy a new of the shelf saw. Not exactly that much of a hobby is it. I have plenty of ‘current’ says, but spending money on repairing them is just part of the job, it’s rarely fun. Getting something like a Homelite VI super-mini SL back from the dead and giving it a jolly good thrashing is much better!

    Finding the parts is the fun bit… although it gets easier if you not averse to looking ‘stateside’. Search: 80 results found for "Double+eagle+" | Chainsawr STORE.CHAINSAWR.COM Chainsawr, The World’s Largest Inventory of Chainsaw Parts I know from experience though, that paying the shipping requires a significant level of enthusiasm though!

    I’d be happy with that. It’s possibly 0.2 more of an answer that the question deserved.
  19. Bolt
    I think you keyboard is sticking. You have asked that question about 4 times now.
  20. Bolt
    I don’t, as my family are kind enough to throw them all open for me.
  21. Bolt
    Tbh, sounds like an absolutely cracking day to me.
  22. Bolt
    Fire every night. Entire house is nice and toasty.

    Not if you are chogging down a single stem.
  24. Bolt
    Good file, practice… and these days, a decent pair of glasses.

    Easy to find fault, Stere… have you ever taken a TERNATA similar job?
