MDT had this with his Nuffield when some previous owner had put a foot long piece of wood in the tank, it was saturated so didnt float and it took us ages to work out what cut the fuel supply off. eventually we retrieved it with much fishing. Is the tank steel? If not is the object steel? - Magnet. Or you could encase the magnet so it grabs object but doesnt set up home in your tank. Will it go through the filler hole endways? Perhaps a piece of wire with loop on the end with a length of string with a slipknot loop tied to the loop at intervals with cotton. Loop object with wire hoop. Twist wire for positive hold, pull string , cotton breaks, object lassoed. In the words of an ancient arbtalker "Simples" Let us know how it goes Stevie.

Very good, I try wood not

A lad I work with is obsessed with it. Injures himself regularly. I enjoy the stories afterwards pain free.

Tomorrow I will be Tachograph man of Mystery. No Surname no Christian name. Known by my friends at VOSA as....................... GOATY.

O dear! I turned over a new leaf today..... and got it wrong for trying, O well I can scrunch it up and bin it tomorrow! O no I can't! Im in the zero tolerance form of employment service. Thanks ROG for being there, I recommend only short sessions on Arbtalk for you, to preserve your sanity! Your eyes must bulge and roll around when you see how poorly traffic educated many of us working class welfare supporting tax payers are!

Go Dean, Go, makes sense to me. Same diesel price for all as well.

Absolutley spot on:congrats: My point to a tee. On HGV you are supposed to know all the updates and changes, I've never had one ever. So doubt they will inform B+E drivers. Commercial operators are supposed to inform their drivers, Im sure they have other things to deal with and Im self employed, so slip through every net. I didn't know until this week(had HGV 17yrs) that on a paper tacho chart VOSA have big issues about the surname should be above christian name. Or they get upset. Ive not done this for 17yrs! My first name has preceeded my surname all my life! As I've said before you need to be a legal professional to drive commercially. Im in the middle of a 3 week stint relief driving and realise I now hate driving because of juggling red tape, and the idiots you have to deal with. I prefer working with animals.

Pto chains are rubbish whether you spend £20 or £2000 on an implement. Yet HSE like to see them in place. I suppose they are designed to give.

I would play safe and leave tailgate at home. Cut down on weight and another loose article.Tipper trucks drive round without tailgates on with bulldozers in the body and tailgate off.

Depends which hand you put where! Hope the winning bidder doesn't go bragging he's got a left hander. It will haunt him for years!

I also know of someone who works on oil rigs who does because the clause was badly worded. it said the owner had to work on the land so he did christmas trees, and that covered it for him.

Depends on the local interference brigade. Fewer people now work in agriculture due to mechanisation. Therefore it is a problem getting occupants/buyers.I know if you are retired from farming it still counts as agricultural occupant. A good way is if it "Looks like a farm. " I.e sheep or poultry in field etc. Therefore you can rent the land for grazing and not have the hassle of farming. If you go through the correct channels, it will likely not work in your favour. I know a case were the non farming occupants were forced to put on the market their property but it never sold so they stayed put. But an arrogant I can make noise in my yard won't wear well.

Been to hong kong briefly on stop overs of a couple of days, very hot/humid, polluted. I would find it difficult to work in that. Also the crowdedness and food not my thing either. But I assume you are aware of these things. Also read in National Geographic recently that the two civil systems with China has tensions brewing.

Usually mates from pub, case of who you know!

I did a favor for family 5-7 tall leylandii. Trunk girth 40-60cm diameter. Quoted £300 to just drop them and chip on site. Took around 20 man hours(tight awkward area to work in) Paid brother £100 or 150 cant remember. Plus costs in tractor/saw fuel etc. Got a puncture on the front tractor tyre it was a write off, sidewall damage. New tyre £312. Me out of pocket by alot. I would of quoted at least double normally.

Picture says a thousand words and what I think. Was there with wife who wouldn't of made it to the first limb and a 70+ Aunt and uncle. I posted this before on a thread about freeclimbing, where many of the posters climbed for fun. FUN: A dirty word from bygone times when people did things because they knew they had capabilites and they wanted to use them. Before everything was disapproved of and off limits. Do firestations have stairlifts now instead of the firemans poles?

Agreed, but who listens! Also young tree will outgrow a more mature one. I wouldn't bother with compost, particularly for birch they grow on rocks, sand, wet or dry soil. Get healthy young trees. Any birch should of put on a minimum of 30cm growth, this season by now if its 2ft or more in height. Dig hole and fork bottom of hole over to a spits depth. Assuming you take 30-40 minutes per tree. (Room for error and unexpected obsticles/delays) Id say you want to be £7 minimum a tree for your labour to cover getting to site and other costs. Do not pay silly £40 for a 6ft birch in a 10 litre pot. I subby for a wholesale nursery. You would get it for less than £10. They mess around with irritating landscapers because they are trade, why not you? We grow grafted cultivars in 2 ltr pots at 4ft- 6ft and they go to other nurseries for around £4 each! However wholesale growers do not like to mess around with dippy indecisive customers. I can plant 10 large rootballed trees and stake them in around 4 to 5 hours. So if you arent a chatterbox and a tea supa should be done in a morning .

I was once away from home and had a shirt with only holes for cufflinks and no buttons, but had forgotten the cufflinks. Popped into screwfix bought some stainless nuts and bolts. Secure and manly cufflinks I thought and I did get good comments from blokes , but rolled eyes and tuts from fashion police (Women)

Heres your postcard. I contacted fiskars uk. They didnt spell it out but they releasing the x27 in 2013. Obviously another market control thing. As everyone but uk seem to get them. Im personnaly boycotting them at extortionate prices and going to try and get one from the USA. On principle. Why should I pay 3-4 times more than an american for a european product????

Already posted under elf and safety.

Jetison the trailer, keep the number plate. It will likely still be there tomorrow.

O dear Will. New Zealand driving will send you crazy!!!!!! No traffic but what there is seems to get in your way. Everything is in slow motion with traffic. I suggest you start breathing exercises or something now.

We have great friends in Dunedin and the climate in summer I find nice. Its not a tourist sort of place, just a pleasant place to be. We will be going there next time we visit NZ.

Straw merchants use them for gathering from fields I think speed limited as well.if you know one worth asking how they go about it
