That's more like what I pay, you can sometimes get cashback too. Once you're found the best deal (not necessarily the cheapest) search on https://www.topcashback.co.uk/

I bought a new cheap generic farm jack off ebay a year or 2 back, it was something silly like £30 delivered, with an adaptor to lift wheels. Bare in mind numerous online retailers (including some that advertise on here) will charge £20-£30 surcharge just for delivery to here! Anyway the jack does the job fine, has pulled out big posts, mesh, roots, lifted machinery, sheds, clamped wood etc. Ps have never heard of or seen a slate fence before, looks beautiful.

Did hear of someone locally sending a couple loads of good elm logs down south to England on an artic though. Ps will be off to the Black Isle Show soon......
-
Yes big dead elms everywhere, most of it goes for firewood. But is that a bad thing, considering how much saw mill quality softwood gets incinerated by balcas, just to make a few watts of electricity so someone can sit infront of a telly watching love island. Renewable innit.

I like flowers, and most of the time will go out my way to avoid cutting them, deliberately left some decent patches of clover in the "lawn" to go to seed. But there's no feckin way I could drive past those verges every night A mower's width strip would set it off nicely, and keep the weeds off the stones

Don't like the smell of aspen, but the fumes aren't as bad as normal petrol. Need to look at battery powered stuff soon.

Is there any such thing as 'road tax'? WWW.BBC.CO.UK Cyclists often report that aggressive motorists justify their behaviour on the basis that they pay “road tax”. But there is... I pay £500 "road tax" for 2 vehicles which spend most of their time parked (up on private land!) If I go for a drive, I'm stuck in a que of cars half of which are only paying £20 or whatever tax If I go out on the bike I'm a tax dodger Go figure

Have a look at barrow bags, they're about the size of a wheelie bin, and designed to be moved about when full by a sack barrow.
-
To only get 4 or 5 uses out of them, what are you doing to them? Are you loading them with logs then dragging their arse across tarmac? Are they being handled by machinery? I've some bags that will have been used dozens and dozens and dozens of times, and they're still going. I imagine storing them in direct sunlight (UV) will shorten their life. Something else you could try would be wheelie bins.

It's disposable innit, flush it down the toilet with the wet wipes

Something fishy in the water? - NHS WWW.NHS.UK A range of chemicals could be affecting male fertility according to media reports. An article discussing this...

Looks like a good bit of kit. Will I still be allowed to sleep in the house if I spend £230 on a grease gun

It always amuses me that they are called "eco" plugs, as if they are some how saving the planet

I thought the luck money was the other way round, they (the buyer) haggles you down really really hard on the price, then throws spare change at you when they leave for "good luck"

IIRC they built a narrow gauge railway to Beauly, to get the timber to the mainline. (not from Drumnadrochit, somewhere closer) Ps great thread resurrection, wee Jim hasn't even been on the forum in 3 yrs

Stainless steel flask. Who remembers the "death rattle" from an old thermos.

Don't know anything about the make in terms of reliability, but from looking at the pictures, doesn't seem a good machine for splitting rings. I would want a decent table and log lift

They got an anonymous tip off about a large quantity of drugs wrapped up in cling film and taped to the propshaft (it's the last place you'd look). After 30 hours of the road being shut whilst they search, it was discovered that the vehicle is a front wheel drive.

Handy for getting waste over hedges, high fences etc

The northern arb supplies song.........good at being crap. Cause I may be bad but I'm perfectly good at it Sex in the air, I don't care, I love the smell of it Sticks and stones may break my bones But chains and bars excite me

Not road legal, but you can get self adhesive number plates, stick this on the back of a normal plate https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/STICK-ON-NUMBER-PLATE-REFLECTIVE-YELLOW-ANY-TEXT-FREE-POSTAGE-UK-SELLER/113778134879?hash=item1a7db48f5f:g:SFcAAOSwnZFc~lx4
