  1. Hi Scoop. The Lantra and NPTC quals are completely identical and completely interchangeable. There was a time when NPTC was the only suite of units that were recognised by industry (Lantra did 'hobby user' units), but that was years and yeeeears ago. If you set out doing, for instance, Lantra saw maintenance, this is recognised by NPTC as a prerequisite for their crosscutting unit. You can chop and change provider at any point. You are not locked into either one or the other set of unit's. Should you encounter any employer who only 'recognises NPTC' they are clearly well behind the times and probably best avoided.
  2. Well Done Paul, and Happy Birthday for yesterday. My advice is generally lousy, so I am glad it all worked out so well for you! :- )
  3. Complete link! https://www.greiner-gmbh.de/en/traffic/aftermarket-seats/vario.html
  4. It's a good call. Regardless of the initial method of funding, I think it's a cracking project, and I for one appreciate Treeations efforts in documenting them here, and his continued personal commitment to the scheme. It is interesting to see the effectiveness over such a short period of time.
  5. So, to summarise, you describe yourself as a moderate libertarian who would mainly fund armies and police forces. Nice :- )
  6. "Not 100% sure" "Probably some other stuff" I am not totally sure you thought this through before making your initial comment, did you.
  7. In your eyes, what should your contrbutions be spent on then?
  8. Rigging? That pesky mermaid can barely look after herself let alone be trusted with rigging. See, I knew it. She is utterly hapless.
  9. What a load of old hot air. The job is clearly £150 IF you have the correct approach..... ...... step aside for Mr King
  10. Not even slightly tempted to complete on the sale though? It's a bargain at £500, hell, it almost runs properly some of the time.
  11. Congratulations. A lucky escape for someone!
  12. That moment when you a think you are going to comment..... but then you can't be arsed.
  13. In no way the biggest pair of tits to make an appearance on this thread. :- )
  14. I read the title with interest.... .... i read the rest of the post with slightly less interest. I am none the wiser, I'm afraid. Can anyone enlighten me what exactly the 'historical problem' was that the arborist solved?
  15. Although piping the air in from outside is clearly a more sensible and elegant solution, I can't see that cold air will have an discernable benefit over warmer air for a stove. On a car, there are restrictions on how much air can be drawn in ( cylinder capacity, air filters, bendy ducting, etc) added to the fact that the intake air is seriously heated in the turbo unit, getting the air as cold as possible before it hits the intake is clearly a benefit. With a stove though, you just open a vent up a bit more. I rarely run my stoves flat out, but if I really am desperate for more fierce combustion and all the vents are fully open, I just crack the door open a bit.
  16. Have you tried civic trees? https://www.civictrees.co.uk I have heard of them, but I have never dealt with them.
  17. Operator error. On a blower. I have a lively imagination, but I got to admit I am struggling on that one.
  18. Depends if it's a 'highly valuable black walnut'.
  19. www.muddyfaces* *all face mud obtained from renewable resources, and guaranteed 100% UHT and bacteria free.
  20. I thought the idea of 'forest school' was to aid learning and pricical skills by taking the kids TO the forest. Clearly it's the 'forest' that goes to the kids.
  21. Light the stove, sit in the hall. Easy.
  22. ...but....but you got a new fan! What better reason to spark up the stove than that?
  23. I would smoke 'em out using this old 020 I got, only I seem to be missing some of the starter housing....
  24. ....and an 020t starter housing I was rather fond of (square Stihl badge rather than round Stihl badge) sacrilegious bastards.
