    Jokes???

    I like your nail varnish! Lidl currently have branded shirts shorts trainers etc in stock, I assume it's ironic innit Lidl's sell-out clothing range is coming back, with branded gear from £1.99 METRO.CO.UK The German supermarket's fashion line flew off the shelves last time around.
  2. Hi Simon, as the technology director, do you know the links in you signature don't seem to work, and the Rotatech website won't let me proceed past this stage and place an order
  3. Look on the bright side, if you ever have any ladders/scaffold up to work on the flue, you could always get the slates fixed at the same time If you don't really need the heat from the stove, you could always have one of those electric effect fires

    I had high hopes for this guy, hi vis vest and ski googles
  5. Leave her out in the van on a frosty night, the next morning you go to turn her on and you get the flashing red light of "F*CK OFF I'M TOO COLD YOU C*NT WHAT DID YOU LEAVE ME OUT HERE FOR"
  6. Normally the "hook to drive" is fitted on the bottom (gate is pushing it in), and "hook to bolt" is fitted on the top (gate is pulling it out) You've had success anyway, but a 4ft crowbar and/or tapping it back and forth with a hammer will free it
  7. First question would be how high can it go without blocking the view (are you planning on trimming them?)
  8. Bench tips over, man dies, hotel fined £14k Highland hotel fined £14,000 over failings that led to death of American tourist WWW.ROSS-SHIREJOURNAL.CO.UK Patrick McGuire had been visiting Scotland with his wife Anne when tragedy struck.
  9. I'm out all year splitting wood, from summer heatwaves to winter blizzards, so it's running every week or two. Just looking now, sounds like sealed AGM batteries like on motorbikes would be more resistant to vibrations. I think it was a sealed battery the machine had to start with, the original mounting position was lost to a large hydraulic cooler.

  11. It's the tcp dumper converted to log splitter, has about as many original parts left as katie price! Good idea, I wouldn't have thought it would get hot, the grill behind is an air intake so it's pulling air past the battery not blowing warm on to it. I think I will need to make another battery mounting elsewhere, atleast to get it away from worst of the vibrations and warmth

    If you've got time to kill, there's a Lithuanian guy on youtube Shiey who seems to travel round eastern europe etc climbing on tall stuff and moving freight trains https://www.youtube.com/@shiey
  13. Yes oc95, only a small alternator, but the machine usually puts in a fair shift, often used for hours on end (at full revs). This yuasa battery has gone straight from fine to fooked, not like a normal flat battery
  14. It lives in a shed normally, but does occasionally have to work in inclement weather
  15. Do you think the vibrations of single cylinder diesel is killing the battery? I thought this was the 2nd battery, but looking back through old receipts it's actually the 3rd dead battery now on this machine since October 2016! First 2 were cheapos, but this latest one was a Yuasa, and it has lasted 13 months. Tested the charging voltage on the machine tonight and it is a nice steady 14.36v throughout the rev range, (which I would think is ideal?) so the regulator must be working? This Yuasa battery was fine the other week, even when it was sub zero, but today it won't even turn over the warm engine, on the voltmeter you can watch the volts piddle away to nothing, it's like something has suddenly happened to it. The battery is well secured, but the mounting, (which I made, so I would be to blame!) is mounted to the bottom of the engine mount, and being a single cylinder diesel, it obviously has a few vibrations
  16. The clip n trim is ok, a bit light duty, easy to bend the fingers. I would normally use it with the saw attached to the elephants trunk harness. When I get round to it I will fit it to the spare battery saw, so it will be a roughcut hedge cutter with zero fumes
  17. Is it not a bit pervy to take a photo of a bloke as he's trying to have a wizz behind a tree

    I went to donate a sample to my local sperm bank. As I was handing over the tub full of jizz, a sound emerged from inside singing: "Harder better faster stronger.... We're up all night to get lucky...... One more time!" "Sorry about that", I said. "I've got daft spunk"

    I don't know if someone did it before then, but that was a song back in 2001
  22. It's no great loss, they probably wouldn't know what to do with a book in Perth anyway
  23. I think the poor guy needs to change his job from tree cutter to tree planter
  24. To play it safe I run it at the same ratio as anti freeze/coolant in the van. 50:50
