B…b…but Merkel said that refugees would be architects and doctors! And the one time she was right….

If the 2l ranger is in the same class as the 3l ranger it makes a mockery of its eco claims.

*crickets*

Briggs have been rubbish for decades. Trading on the name, along with Black and Decker etc. Just because your grandad says they were good doesn't mean they're worth a wank now.

I bought a few packs of cheap fizzy water from Bookers yesterday. These caps have a little bit of plastic reinforcement on the hinge, which acts like an overcentre latch. Push it past that and it's out the way and rigidly stays out the way. I hope whoever invented that gets rich. This is what should have been mandated, not a little bit of sharp plastic that lets the lid flop around all over the place. I think people (myself included) are only pissed off with it because it was badly implemented with little standardisation. If all the bottles were like the Bookers fizzy water there would be barely any complaints. 'Sports drinks' have had similar caps for years, and nobody complains about them because they're well designed.

I’ve got an old model. Think it’s a 1265. Nice and basic. Great machine for hedges and property maintenance etc.

1m wouldn’t even house the last couple of years new immigration. this country is ****************ed.

It’s not really a risk especially with a little impact wrench. You’ll get the hang of it. A few ugga duggas. Torque sticks only stop you over torquing it. You still need to check with a torque wrench. If you rely on the torque stick you’ll most likely have the wheel fall of later as it wasn’t tight enough. Milwaukee are much better than Makita for the money on the impact wrench front.

A thermal is a hell of a tool, but sunlight aiming at the canopy can be hard to read the pattern and it can still be hard to spot a small target like a squirrel unless it's against a large constant background. A lot of the time the squirrel will have clocked you and it'll only be the head poking out from behind the trunk. For winter foxing etc they simply can't be beat.

Bloody hell that s a good bag for an afternoons work! You must be overrun?

Yup. Ash is a bitch. I cut my teeth on slow grown ash on the slopes of the South Downs. Teaches you a lot about timber and also depth gauges.

Sure it's only 1.5m3 per ton? I always thought it was more. If 1.5m3 sells for average say £180 (£120/m) then margins are wafer thin / non existant with it costing £100 per ton minium delivered in.

****************ers. Sorry to hear that

Sounds very expensive. Milners airbag kit is an afternoons work at the most by yourself- piece of cake on a tipper especially as you just lift the body out of the way. I run the air hose into the front footwell and have a 12v compressor there for adjusting it. Do not forget to adjust your brake compensator, as the body will ride a lot higher! You should also get a drop down hitch otherwise the towball will be miles too high. These engines respond well to a remap. I have two and they are fantastic trucks, super reliable. Watch out for rust on a Ranger of that vintage too. It's not insurmountable- they usually go between the rear wheels and the back of the cab, so super easy access on a tipper. Just don't overpay. PM me a link to what you're looking at if you like.

Have you decided yet whether it will be the Seychelles or the Bahamas that you purchase your private island? I mean, with that amount of chip, the world is your oyster!
