  1. I don't think anyone, including those in charge, actually know how it all works it's all far too complex and convoluted. That makes I easy for me to make a judgement call and vote, on a personal level would I want unknown people deciding what's best for me, handing them money to get some back but being told what to spend it on? Nope, so voting out was an easy decision Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
  2. Load of nonsense on sky news app this morning. Police would prefer to kill themselves than work hard or find another job??[ATTACH]221797[/ATTACH] Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
  3. Never bothered with the 201 went to husky after the 200. Had a early 261, preferred it to a 260 as found them too slow in the cut. Picked up a new shape 261 in a dealer recently and felt worse than the older one, didn't like the lightweight plastic handle. 461 is a brill saw, love ringing up with it Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
  4. I know of a rayco rg25 coming up for sale, not turntable though Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
  5. I gave up with it when had to renew. £20 to email 50 quotes or invoices?! Using invoice simple at the mo. £2 a month unlimited use Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
  6. nd. Especially when the 550 decides it too hot to come out to play Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
  7. I just find it a bit bizarre that this one fire has had millions spent on it, a media frenzy, a charity song, numerous charity pages to give money, when all other house fires are left for the insurance companies to sort out? I don't remember a visit from downing street when buncefield went up and people were moved out for years and had to fight for compensation? I'm not taking away from these people at all and think they need and deserve help to get though these times but the inconsistency of it all bothers me. There's plenty of families on hard times up and down the country living in b & b's waiting for permanent housing, wheres their million pound apartments?
  8. Just out of curiosity do you think all families who's house burns down should get £5k and a luxury flat given to them? Or am I being cynical thinking winning votes is behind alot of his recent public appearances? Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
  9. Definitely. Politics has turned into the new big brother where all that counts is how many Twitter followers you can get. We need the services to do their job and the politicians getting on with there's, not showing up with crocodile tears everyone someone stubs their toe Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
  10. I think it's a poisoned chalice being pm at the moment. I don't think she's the best leader by any stretch but I do respect her for taking on the job after Cameron bottled it. Being pm right now means your job is to get us out of the EU and with almost half the vote wanting to stay you're bound to go down in history unfavourably and be the subject of hate while in the job Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
  11. Too many people are thinking that they are still children and need the government to keep them. The idea people with a few quid in the bank should hand it over to them appeals. Free money, free house, what kid wouldn't want that? Grownups know they need to look after themselves Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
  12. Thanks, I've seen that before, I'm interested in what's actually coming out of the exhaust and being inhaled. New saws have emission guidelines? So would be good to know what I'm actually breating in once the fuel and been burnt and at the distance from the exhaust my head is at. Ideally expanded to what you'd be breating in walking down the road as cars would obviously be throwing out loads more than a saw would of nasty stuff? If that argument can be made I'd switch. Really can't get on board with the machinery breakdown argument, the maths just isn't there Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
  13. I rate mine as well. 2 and a half now, only had 2 av springs and a worm gear for the oil pump in that time. Use it more than I should tbh (by chipper etc) only thing I struggle with is finding a decent bar as they all have grease points for the tip. Think stihl bars are much better than husky Oregon and sugi on that point. Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
  14. I'd love aspen to come up with the numbers of how much of these chemicals you breathe using a modern saw Vs 2 stroke Vs walking down the high street. If can this data I'd consider it, all I've seen is what's in it but that doesn't show what comes out the exhaust and what that translates into going into your lungs in day to day use Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
  15. ah right, genuinely can't tell with some of the strange labour thinking thesedays. Seen them marching with communist hammer and sythe this week
  16. Why would you say that about englishmen but not when comes to muslim extremists? unless I've missed that post somewhere
  17. He strikes me as very much playing the game to further his cause at the moment. He's on about just taking homes of of rich people to house the ones who lost their home in the fire and one of his team was saying they would use wartime laws to push it through... Like that's the only action. There's definitely not any houses up for rent or sale the council could pay for, nope it's take from the rich again. Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
  18. Saw this on a BBC page earlier. They had some twitter feeds from Muslims in there condemning what happened etc, fair enough, so I went back to their feed on the days around the London attack. Nothing Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
  19. Can't see there being much of a repair bill for anyone half competent in chainsaw maintenance. Changing a fuel line or a carb is a quick job and they last years and years on regular fuel anyway. If you're using a saw daily professionally you'll have backups anyway Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
  20. I reckon he'll never buy a pint again on the back of that comment!

  23. There was an idiot on the radio this morning saying it's the Tories fault because they're millionaires and decided to clad the towerblock purely so they didn't have to see it from their mansions. This point scoring over what's happened is disgusting Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
  24. These managers will have more cash to spend on their trees so we'll all be quids in 👍👍 Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
  25. Haha I just don't get how anyone can judge others for making more money and decide those people should hand over 50% of their income. If you look at the extremes, someone like Richard Branson who (friend worked for one of his companies) takes 2% turnover from all the virgin businesses. That's a hell of alot of money, but who's to judge? Those companies employ thousands and thousands of people. Fair play to him Sent from my SM-G930F using Arbtalk mobile app
