Absolutely cannot stand Robert Peston - mute button as soon as he comes on in our house!

The whole way it is written, grammar, wording and terms is typical of Nigerian scams, or African in general. Been going for years in similar format

Hi all - just had a regular customer phone to ask me to move a yew hedge. Each one is approximately 3m high, with a diameter at base of 3 - 4" if memory serves me right. Currently planted about 20" apart. Wondering if this is feasible at this time of year if at all, though we're so booked up it'll be early April at the earliest that we could possibly fit this in. Thoughts and recomendations are welcome please! Thanks

Got a 360SW nearly 3 years ago from Arbrep who have been very good, and as Old Mill said, cheaper than direct from Predator. I have had a few issues with mine, new carb, exhaust shook itself to pieces, new fuel cap - all done under warranty by Unipower. Brake cable - well I'm on my third one and it's done under 150 hours. The inefficient brake definitely lets it down and really needs a complete redesign. I'm thinking of upgrading to a 460SW or an HB20 when budget allows.

Gutted - did the biggest hazel I'd seen only 2 months ago in Chelmsford. All the timber would have fitted your spec perfectly. All logged up now unfortunately

Tried the full gravel board type and they still managed to kick them to pieces. After I had replaced them for the 4th time I think they got bored. I got paid each time for my work but it was a pita

Horse chestnut definitely - you should be able to sell the logs on gumtree if you really don't want them and be a few quid up! Burns well in logburner so keep them if you have one

Got recovered last week via the AA no problem after cambelt went. Local subcontract company carried me and towed chipper behind. Driver however was a complete idiot, couldn't sort out temporary tow hitch - i did that, and his driving standard was appallingly dangerous and scary. I have lodged a complaint with the director of said firm!

Just an advert for the private auction on the 18th Feb. Intentionally priced way over the top so no one actually hits the buy it now button

A mate is a mechanic at a multi make main dealers and they ditched Sangyong along with a couple of other brands as there were too many build quality problems which was going to get worse the older the vehicles got - iwarranty claims etc. He rates Mitsubishi as they get these back for repairs less often than most

Problems cutting with the Stihl 1/4 pitch chain
rapalaman replied to Steve Bullman's topic in Chainsaws
I have exactly the same problem with mine. Tried a new bar, new chain, the same result again. Quite frustrating. Other than that, cracking little saw and my go to tool for pruning/light reductions -along with a silky of course! -
Things that you don't know the answer to thread

Why do some artic drivers, when parked in a lay-by park with the cab pointing into the verge? In case the handbrake fails or they get hit from behind while they're asleep - they can't roll out into the traffic stream? -

Why do they lick their balls? See above! -
Got the same on my Daily at the moment. Mechanic has fitted new thermostat as the old one had fallen apart. Still overheating. Water pump coming off today to check if that's the problem. Also heater been very poor for a couple of months - coincidence?

<p>Hi Steve, sorry for the delay - was using my tablet during the week and I can't open the message tab on that for some reason. Taken some pics of the smoke tree next to the tamarisk - will send over via ebay pics I think. Total weight of the two about 15kg. Smoke is about 4 1/2ft long, can cut in half if easier? I don't really have anything else unusual to make up a pallet though. Got plenty of big bits of yew and some mulberry. Cheers,</p>
