  1. Oregon can (above model) was 1/2 the £ of a stihl when I bought mine (as pointed out by the stihl dealer lol) and stihl no spill nozzles. Its been good to me and Im not the most careful person lol. P.s. re Husky being rubbish, I bought a pair of their boots, fantastic, comfortable, dry, durable and read on the label "keep clean and use a suitable protector" used their contact us page to ask whats the best product to use and am stihl waiting!!!! James
  2. Brilliant. Six pages on and I still have tears in my eyes and a sore stomach! James
  3. A young lad pleaded with his strict dad to be allowed to his girlfriend's house one evening. His dad allowed him aslong as he stayed in her living room with the young lady's parents present and he was home in time for tea. After returning home the lad saw dinner on the table and tucked in. "Wow these fishcakes are delicious dad!!!" he said. His father replied " Wash your hands son.....they're donuts!!
  4. Just a thought, have a look at honest johns site. He writes in t'telegraph and DPFs feature heavily, pros, cons and tips also other reviews about vehicles. James
  5. Good point Peter, although you should see some of the driveways I have to access with mine (un arb related work) :eek: Do you have your own O liscence or is it covered by a firm? Also how does the CPC affect you? James
  6. P.S. Driver (poss operator!!!) CPC comes into play for anything over/including 7.5t unless you have grandaddy rights. P.S.P.S. There a few exceptions for this regarding the incidental, not your main task, usage but thats all beyond me/don't care lol James
  7. What about 26t with crane? no longer/wider or harder to drive than an 18t. Some weight limits may put a few jobs out of bounds but cant think of many that differentiate between 18t or 26t, (they're normally 7.5t), only when you start talking artics. James
  8. Nothing wrong with getting Narky when people spell it wrong, I wince every time......P-U-R-D-E!!!!!! NOOOOO lol James

  10. Ive got the tay sport. They have a different tread to most wellies which tapers up to the sole, so they dont clog as badly. Great on wet mud/clay/dog doings (FFS!!!!!!!). James

  15. Is that a parrots head in the sawn lower limb? ok you have to squint to see it!! James
  16. Great idea Albedo. They dont make it past the two leaved stage thanks to the unprepared venison wandering about. I could get a few in a pot or tray then separate out the ash once they have more obvious leaves and see what else I get. Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk 2
  17. Thanks for the reply Tinker I hadn't thought of layering outside of the coppice, that might work if I pick a spot near the hedge. Ill keep my eyes peeled for some uneaten seeds and try them aswell. Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk 2
  18. I had suspected that but the delightful grey things seem to eat anything seed like in the woods so dont get to see many. I didn't want to buy them in so I was hoping for a free way to fet more. Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk 2
  19. This came to me in the woods (so no books/enough 3g to look it up!!!) is it possible/viable to take cuttings from ash saplings/hedges to grow into trees to plant for timber? Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk 2

  21. Hmmm not being a hippy but did that ash need to come down? Or were they just doing it anyway. Edit: should point out Im an amateur still learning before you ridicule me Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk 2
  22. Two monkeys get in a bath. One said "oooh oooh aaah aaah" the other said "put some cold in then!!!!"
  23. Yep I read it was dentists and farmers at the top of the suicide list! Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk 2
  24. Saw this on twitter. I thought it might be worth spreading the word. "@hheath_police: Suspicious Ford Transit seen in Pease Pottage area, occupants trying to sell chainsaws. Registration 10-OY-1605. Please call 101 if seen..." Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk 2
  25. Harry feared his wife Peg wasn't hearing as well as she used to and he thought she might need a hearing aid. Not quite sure how to approach her, he called the family Doctor to discuss the problem. The Doctor told him there is a simple informal test the husband could perform to give the Doctor a better idea about her hearing loss. 'Here's what you do,' said the Doctor, 'stand about 40 feet away from her, and in a normal conversational speaking tone see if she hears you. If not, go to 30 feet, then 20 feet, and so on until you get a response.' That evening, the wife is in the kitchen cooking dinner, and Harry was in the garden. He says to himself, 'I'm about 40 feet away, let's see what happens.' Then in a normal tone he asks, 'Honey, what's for dinner?' No response. So the husband moves closer to the kitchen, about 30 feet from his wife and repeats, 'Peg, what's for dinner?' Still no response. Next he moves into the dining room where he is about 20 feet from his Wife and asks, 'Honey, what's for dinner?' Again he gets no response. So, he walks up to the kitchen door, about 10 feet away. 'Honey, what's for dinner?' Again there is no response. So he walks right up behind her. 'Peg, what's for dinner?' 'For God's sake Harry, for the FIFTH time CHICKEN!' she shouted.
