    As much fun as comparing war wounds is (13 No.6 pellets picked out of my knee)... its not making the sport seem very safe! Sam

    No there not. I could have a loaded gun pointed at my head for a hundred years and still be fine, its muppets pulling the trigger that VERY RARELY cause incidents. You speak for yourself on that one. There is a time for banter and a time for seriousness. I have held a FAC for nearly 4 years and a SGC for nearly 8, I have taught many friends to shoot who you have a great laugh with most of the time but it change when you play with guns. I instruct people weekly on safety/shooting ethics/ best practice on various live quarry shoots and the mood on the drive is very different to that in the pub after. Sam

    Were you wearing saw trousers? I imagine they would be right heavy in water! Sam

    346XP Its a cracking saw with a 13" or 15" bar. The problem I have come across with the 260 is they work great for the first year/two years but then after that as soon as you touch the revs they seem to die. I doubt it is bad maintenance as I have come across it on a number of saws by various owners. Hopefully the 261 will not have this problem, and if so will be a real contender to the 346. Sam

    Apart from last year... and the year before that I think! Stella ftw I think. Though I liked the business woman (NOT CLEANER) from Leicester. I also thought that Russel Braggs "The Brand" was hillarious. Sam

    No such thing buddy. Sorry. Depends waht you want it for but I would talk to either a local land agent (Strutt & Parker, Smiths Gore, Savilles, Jackson Stops & Staff etc.) or an estate close by and ask about waste pasture, or similar. See what they say, you might get lucky, but I reckon you get taken if you buy less than 35ac, the price is much lower if you are buying a bigger quantity - you can sell it off later remember. Sorry to put a downer on it, but when I have money I will invest it in land, they dont make it any more. Sam

    Sounds about right, the 35cc ALDI saw with the 22" bar springs to mind Sam

    I have a 13" & 15" for my 346XP, running the 15" at the moment, though certainly wouldnt go bigger than 16" on that saw. Sam

    Gin and Tonic, sloe gin or occasionally a bottle of Krug non-vintage, I prefer the grape mix.

    Just a thankyou to F R Jones and sons for their great service when I went and picked up my 346XP. Aswell as being about £100 cheaper than anyone else the service/range of products in the shop was great. I had fun bringing the saw back up north on the train though, some really weird looks on the tube Thanks Sam

    Scrap that! Custom blade for that money, though my F1 is great, custom is the way to go

    And we will have Rabbits?! Shocking book, To Kill A Mockingbird any day! I started using E45 when I was working on farms a couple of years ago. It really does help, theres nothing worse than a bird saying "Eugh, whats wrong with your hands, it looks like you have a disease!" Soft(ish) Hand Sam

    I'm a cold weather chap like the above. As long as my ears are warm enough then I'm all good. Two pairs of gloves to rotate at lunchtime, if its melting and soaking your hands. Happy days. Sam

    Hi mate, I did actually, infact I thought it was the best COD until the second one! I dont know about the cheats and things, to my knowledge I didnt come across them, but I might have done I suppose. I would say get MOD2 when you are finished with BlackOps, IMHO its a much better game - especially the multiplayer stufff Sam

    Unhealthy obsession with chainsaws from a young age, a deep rooted love of check shirts and orange braces. Sorted
