I had a bad case of man flu 3 weeks ago, it cleared up, only to come back as brochitis last week, knocked hell out of me. Hot lemonade and lemsip and whiskey did the trick for me.

For me, newbies of whatever trade, are too much in a rush to set up their own companies and chase big money instead of gaining experience of all types by working for several companies before going on their own. And for me this is a big downfall. I see it a lot in the joinery trade, young lads on price come in, bish bash bosh, then it all falls down and then old timer here thinks' here we go again', likewise, you ring agency up requesting roofing joiners, ask them to set out a traditional roof and they look at you gone out. Proper apprenticeships and proper training and then working with old timers who are willing to show you how to do it correctly is the way forward in my opinion. But, why wont people just ask advice on the job when they know and you know they are out of their depth is beyond me. There is nothing wrong with ambition, just how you go about it.

Some serious advice needed please chaps.
harvey b davison replied to farmer_ben's topic in Firewood forum
To me, it sounds like slander, go see a solicitor. Also have words with the paper, he should not be allowed to 'attack' people this way in a local newspaper. Stand up for yourself over this. -
But do these races get the tv coverage of oxford and cambridge, and therefore the publicity.

wish my welding looked that neat and tidy.

Will, i understand why you are upset, BUT !, if rowing ( or this race) is so important to so many people, then why does it always have to be between these two. I understand that is how it all started but surely wouldnt it be better if they allowed more teams to compete in the race, therefore allowing more people to experience it and surely it would be more appealing than the 'closed shop' it appears to be.

Couldnt you just weld ( or manufacture ) some bigger teeth onto the existing dean, to enable the jaws to fully close. Or even adding some solid cross members along the tips of the teeth. Just ideas, thats all.

what are the dates for these shows, and is there any up in yorkshire ?

A couple of so called 'friends' have chelsea tractors, they spend more time polishing them than actually driving them. And whoa be tide if they have to go thru a puddle. Idiots.

i would be interested in something, even if it was just watching.

I'm liking pedro's take on the makita.

its rare these days for me to help anyone with diy these days, due to me being taken for a ride too many times. However, as i have my own allottment and therefore always have plenty of veg (even flowers) going spare, i always ensure some of this ends up in elderly and needy hands.

Have you thought about an alligator saw,or a recipricating saw. Makita do a decent one, if you fancy an alternate to a chainsaw.

Blowers / Vacs / Mulchers - which one's best?
harvey b davison replied to ATC1983's topic in Landscaping
dont know what the blowers are like, but dont discard the makita range. Could you have atrial / test of any before purchasing any make. Dont think ryobi will stand the test of time, i had 2 fail me within 18 mths. -
There are so many questions that will arise during your learning period and so many different answers. it was not meant as a dig, sorry if i have offended you martin. But please tell us when your saw has arrived
