  1. Is the saw soft start? It might be too big a load for the genny on startup?
  2. Nature will sort itself out. Just keep an eye out for big spiders in your bananas, they could be foreign buggers
  3. In the video posted earlier the UK importer says they're made on the Austria-Slovakia border. Which means Slovakia - if they were made in Austria then you would just say Austria
  4. Ebay is the Aladdin's cave of stolen stuff though! I started buying and selling tat on ebay when I was 16, back then you were supposed to be 18 so I had to lie about my age. You won't believe this, sometimes you had to win the auction, get the seller's address, get your parents to write you out a cheque, put it in an envelope, post it to the seller, wait for them to receive it then cash it in and wait for it to clear, then they might get round to packing up the item and carrying it down to the post office to stand in a que to send it out. Would take about a month to buy something! Never mind the fookin dial up internet Had to walk to the school bus, uphill both ways
  5. Good for you for learning and giving it a go. Just be careful, there's a lot of stolen 2nd hand chainsaws about, don't get caught up buying and selling them.
  6. Is it not easier to do the chipping out in the garden rather than in the kitchen? Even if you point the discharge chute out an open window, you'll still get dust all over the crockery!

    Jokes???

    Ordered a jumbo sausage supper at the chippy. Bloke said 'It won't be long mate' I said 'For £7.20 It had f*cking better be'
  8. As my dad would always say "don't burn your bridges"
  9. Most of my grass at home is cut and drop, cut it every 1-3 weeks (weather dependant) and it's fine, looks decent, and fine for walking on. Every week if it's sunshine and showers Every 10days - 2 weeks in "normal" weather Every 3 weeks if it's a heatwave And usually on a friday night when gbx is on the radio, in my ear defenders!
  10. It will be quite a dry spot anyway, but the next job should be build a log shed 2 threads to read through, put the kettle on love

    Jokes???

    It's a medical playset, I assumed the ducks were there, so you could go and see a quack?

    WTF

    I suppose you'd have to number them as they came out, to make sure you replanted them in the right order, or it would just look stupid?
  13. What about half a quad bike? They're getting hard to find for sale now though....
  14. Just came on here to post todays fix, then realised that @aspenarb did this repair on the very first post of this thread!! Timberwolf TW190 Slight squeal off the belt when turning a corner when tracking. No before photo, the hydraulic pump bracket was being pulled apart. Took the bracket to a friend in his late 70's who's a good welder (and general mechanic) It's now stronger than when it left the factory, thankfully I got it in time before it did any further damage
  15. Any good jokes about him doing the rounds in the town? I'm hoping for something involving trans, butcher, sausages.
  16. Apparently the black eye was from when he got arrested!! Poor guy probably tripped up on his shoelace or something
  17. "At the time of his arrest, he was presenting as Amy George but confirmed he wished to be addressed as Andrew Miller using "he" pronouns for simplicity."
  18. I see your butcher's case has made it to court! Man abducted and sexually assaulted schoolgirl while dressed as woman WWW.BBC.CO.UK Andrew Miller, also known as Amy George, sexually assaulted the primary school girl for 27 hours after taking her to his home.
  19. As an old pal would say "he who laughs last laughs longest" Great guy, terrible undertaker.
  20. Usually the super unleaded will be marked as e5. E5 and E10 is the maximum percentage of ethanol, it might be less than this!!
  21. Oil sprayed on the machine will do it some good! Take a chill pill and let the fitter find out where the oil has come from. Assuming hydraulic, might have just been a loose fitting? Hope the driveway is ok?.....
  22. Note to self ; don't take photos at dusk!!!! Decent amount of apple blossom, including on some poundstretcher trees which only went in start of 2022
  23. I know it's probably about 6 months after you southerners, but finally got the tomatoes into their final pots in the greenhouse, and it's now all homemade compost, which looks ok after it's gone through some mesh Good crop of rhubarb too, even with the lack of weeding!!
