I'm after this one. If anyone knows of any courses being run in Hampshire/Sussex/Dorset, or is also after it, let me know please!! Cheers.

Nowt down at my place as of 4pm today. Wonder if there'll be anything to clean up tomorrow. Could do with a couple of fairly large ash to top up the firewood bay but guess I'll just have to wait patiently for my licenses. Either that, or the sketchy lime will have split and crushed my workshop.

Whenever it feels dull I give it a few strokes. Crap cutting gets on my moobs, would much rather sort out early rather than have to spend bare time doing it when utterley blunt.

After my recent grading, I basted pretty much every inch of my body apart from my face and groin area, in a pot of tiger balm. It didn't even touch the sides. I was soon smearing half a tube of Deep Heat over myself. Unfortunately, the stuff wot I got on my thighs must have rubbed off on my bollocks. I was almost crying. My wife had no sympathy. I was not the nicest smelling bed parter, if you're not a fan of menthol. Best thing though is stretching. Proper, full body stretching with solid breathing. 3 x 20 second reps in each position you choose, gently pushing yourself further as you feel your muscles relax. Talking of menthol, and a bit off-topic.... Colgate Menthol is proper good.

Too lazy even to steal a larger saw. The dirty, lawless, ferral scum!

I take back what I said about painkillers not killing pain with me, my back went into spasm when I picked my dog up once and after falling to the floor I was stuck in a press-up position until I managed to call my mate to come and pick me up off the floor. Got prescribed vallies for that and back was soon out of spasm. Not really a painkiller thinking about it, muscle relaxant innit, but it definitely killed the pain.

Christ that's young. RIP. I recognise his name but have been out of that malarky for a while now so gonna have to google him.

Remember book into a place to sit the exams before Christmas!

Painkillers do nothing for me. Prevention is better than cure. Sometimes I have a period of a few days where I will constantly stretch, like doing sun salutations etc. I can feel any pain that is present, oozing away. A good stretching regime is worth spending time on. Opiates, be it codeine or morphine just bung me up, even when doing more than I'm told. I don't understand people who go "woooooo I feel like I'm floating away and my body is numb lol" when I end up backing up to last week and continuing to feel pain. But then again, people want quick fix, managing the symptom rather than the cause.

Patient: Doctor doctor, there's a bit of lettuce sticking out of my arse! Doctor: Sorry to say it but that's only the tip of the Iceberg Two sausages in a fryin pan.. One screams 'aaaghh its hot in here'.. The other screams.. 'Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaggghhh talking sausage!!!' What's the similarity between Titanic and The Sixth Sense? Icey dead people

It's happened for a while, just haven't got round to doing anything about it until today. Clearing cache/history makes no difference. I might try with Firefox or something. I really must leave Internet Explorer.

My boyo Finley. Unfortunately he was killed by a car at the age of 2 back in June. I'd just got him nicely trained and could have him wandering around me while I was working. I can't bare to get another as I don't think I could stop comparing them with Finley. Having said that, if one presented itself to me, spur of the moment, then I would probably get 'im!

yo, sorry if this is wrong section. I keep logging in and while it goes "thanks for logging in APC, please click here to be redirected if your browser doesnt do it" or whatever it says, then goes back to the login page. I was trying to post a topic in the "stolen equipment" forum but it wouldn't let me sign in at all. For some reason I was able to log in here though.

Hellooo, We are after the hire of a 12" or bigger chipper for a day in Havant, on the edge of Portsmouth. We have a load of poplar stacked in 12 foot lengths. We can pick it up with tractor forks to load but our tractor doesn't have the greatest gentleness so if you have a chipper with a self loading thingy then that would be helpful! Send me a message if you can help! Regards, Adam

haha!

Interested! PM sending in 2secs!

You were 50kg over because you eat far, faaar too much takeaway.

That's food for thought.

I work in Leigh Park hence my technique for starting a fire with soggy brash etc. is to turn my back for 5 minutes. Can pretty much guarantee that the pile will either have been burned to smouldering ash or it will have been stolen.

Should have been fine so long as none of them bit him.

Nah. What they were actually asking for was mates rates or a freebie!

I really must start doing the homework. I'd forgotten how difficult it is to get motivated to do something other than procrastinate. I even had time at work this weekend to get stuck into some of it but went and did other stuff instead.

re: removal of clutch. Always used starter cord to bung up the piston to pull the clutch off. With the pin on the outside of the sprocket. Might aswell have a bulk bag of them and replace rather than reuse. It doesn't take much to accidently open them up to the point that they are loose as funk.

I've always just got on with servicing as and when. I don't use a saw every day like most of you guys, more like just using it 2-3 days a week in autumn/winter. I try to gut it and clean it inside and out and check over whole saw if I get a spare hour, whether it needs it or not. We used to keep records of when and what we had done. We stopped though partially due to laziness on the form filling in side. I know I do mine more than we have agreed to do it. We are also supposed to get the saws checked over once a year by a dealer. I don't really see the point in this apart from to get the carb settings fiddled with. I'm mainly after learning that particular skill. That Stihl course sounds interesting. I will try and enquire!
