    Nice. I never buy newspapers, so I use the money I have saved to buy old-skool Zip firelighters which I set fire to under my free bone dry kindling.

    When I was younger and foolisher I would probably have stuck it in a vice and tried to straighten it with pliers and hammer. Now, I would just replace it in a heartbeat. By the time that bit of bent metal has seen forced back, it will be so stressed and weakened, you will effectively have nothing more secure than a plain gate karabiner. If whatever happened to bend it whilst new reoccurred in the future, I can’t see it putting up much of a fight!

    The gate damage looks like what I would imagine if force had been applied to open it whilst the collar wasn’t fully rotated. Did you use anything to ensure the karabiner stayed properly orientated?

    Zigzag or zigzag plus?

    Definitely.

    Jokes???

    Wouldn’t that be premature ‘treejacyuleation’?
  9. Bolt
    That would make it a ewe hedge.

    Childish…. And inaccurate, as you have clearly only drawn two of his three nuts.

    *that, and that the battery has probably just fallen out.

    Old Renault, and a couple of tins of gloss…. Bargain of the century.

    Is it an actual tree, or more like a shurb?

    I run a collection of 70s and 80s Homelites for a number of years on premixed Aspen, without a single problem so far.

    Charities are crap payers, because their staff will work for below normal wages. This applies to their catering staff, cleaning staff, office staff, shop staff, maintenance staff. It has always been thus. It is nothing new, the current cohort are in no way disadvantaged over previous generations.

    Too many people are available to willingly work for a pittance. They are the issue here, not employers. Surely employers pay the amount of money necessary to fill their vacancies.
  17. Bolt
    I don’t work for charities any more. This is not a coincidence.
  18. Bolt
    I don’t think you can compare the NT to ‘normal’ employers by any stretch of the imagination.

    Low tree branches.

    ‘CS30’ is chainsaw maintenance (and a touch of cross cutting). Most providers generally organise this in a workshop with decent lighting, a roof, work benches, tools and possibly even a compressor. It is most unlikely there will be any tree felling.

    Last time I did a chainsaw assessment I noticed that the covers to all the electrical sockets in the training room been scribbled all over with what appears to be crayons. "So what's up with all the crayon scribbles on these sockets?” I asked the assessor. "Oh, I did that," he replied "My psychiatrist told me I needed some creative outlets."

    They ask you questions, they make you do things, they are often conducted in isolation away from other candidates….. you get the picture.

    ….Not sure that Christians have the monopoly on the Old Testament.
  24. Bolt
    Normally we use tools to maintain chainsaws…. Tools in workshops. The use of trees to fix chainsaws is not unheard of, but it is generally the hallmark of utter desperation bought on by a combination of poor decision making, the end of a tiring wet day, and the prospect of a long, long walk through the forest to the nearest toolbox.

    Avoid it. It’s possibly not for people like you.
