  1. I guess it’s just me then, but I think it’s one of the most butt-ugly birches I’ve even seen. Sorry.
  2. Plenty of options to keep the whole family’s cocoa warm with that stove!
  3. Bolt

    Insects

    Live and let live. I will flick pretty much anything out of the way of my cut. if the mulcher then pummels them 20 minutes later, that’s their lookout.
  4. My first thought was a heated battery. I had a similar result when I experimented on how quickly I could discharge a bli200x battery crosscutting gnarley oak.
  5. Nope, 5 power stations and 40 new hospital workers.
  6. Actually, when they started Hinckley C, the press wet themselves as to how high it would push up the cost of electric . If I remember the scaremongering, it could add something like a couple of pence to the cost of a unit of electricity. Wow. Not so expensive now is it!
  7. Was it 5 new nuke powerstations proposed the other day? That’s a lotta baseload. All that nighttime electric has to go somewhere!
  8. I that case, maybe the kid that plans the signs still has a bus through his village, and is enjoying rubbing this village’s faces in it. Inter-village rivalry was a big thing where I grew up. Its a miracle my mother isn’t also my aunt.
  9. …and , ironically, diesel. When I was a kid, almost everything ran on petrol other than lorrys (and tractors). Then we were told petrol was bad (lead emissions) and we were persuaded to go down the diesel route. Nice. Still , I’m sure electric vehicles will be fine.
  10. Maybe the streetworks were planned more than a week ago? I would assume they outsourced the spec to a 3rd party, who surveyed the job, programmed it in and made up the required temporary signs. I doubt a single person in that time had the inclination to trawl the local Facebook or WhatsApp groups to check the status of the bus service. Get a spec- meet the spec - get paid.
  11. Does the charger do the same regardless of the battery you put in it?
  12. I think you are getting confused with petrol. I can assure you my Neanderthal mono-brow remains in pristine condition.
  13. …….thought I was special. Anyway, I still use them. And they are still more comfy than those treehog ones!
  14. My first set of spikes came out of an electric company skip in the late 90s. The replacement set came out of an electric company skip 10 years later… I can’t say I found either pair that comfortable!
  15. Sorry…. thought I’d check!
  16. I prefer the diesel/ kerosene/paraffin all-over-at-the-same-time method. Don't remember seeing it detailed in that Lars Mytting book though.
  17. I wouldn’t really want to put this on either leg…. But if I had to choose, I would be drawn towards putting it on my left leg.
  18. Is the padding over your calf? I assumed it was more conventional to have the padding over your shin.
  19. Be not ashamed… These legends were scribed long before new bloods such as yourself breezed in.
  20. 🙏🏻 No. It is a quest you should undertake for yourself 🙏🏻 TBH they should show up easily enough in the search function ( except maybe the wood chipper one- I think that one’s title was something to do with Lazy Staff’). There was also a classic that debated whether tree cutters were superior to grass cutters as well…. That went on a bit.
  21. John, regardless of whether the above is the ‘law’ (is it a quote from legislation, of a quote from some random website?)…. …. it does not mean this. Possibly, this is just your interpretation of what you wish it should mean.
  22. Thank Mark, it backs up my limited experience. Turns out this was all very useful.
  23. This in nuffin. You should check out the running- from-the-chipper and codwood threads, and read the bangtidy debacles.
  24. Oh, and and for what’s it’s worth, the delivery was fine.
