  1. yeah i do a lot of tables, always put the saw through the bottom in the end.
  2. all right I am not going to get all antsy about it but how can a load of lies make a valid point, its not a play on stats its downright nonsense ps, Hama its naive.
  3. Are you saying that in the last year more than one in ten MPs have been arrested for drink driving? frankly thats b......T
  4. fell it, chop it, log it, flog it,
  5. jesus, nice but what a price!
  6. QK, I will leave the second point as it is too complicated for us to debate and has been covered elsewhere. As for "educating clients" it is a phrase I hear often on this forum, I am guessing its a mantra that is taught at college. my issue with it is that if I ,a tradesman, stood there and told a client I was educating them, I would be given pretty short shrift. Do Mechanics educate their clients? Plumbers? Window Fitters? no they tell them whats wrong, the options and the cost. Thats all we are ,Tradesman, not Planet saving heroes helping the ignorant customer see through the fog to the righteous path. (the last bit was a bit tongue in cheek)
  7. Apologies for coming in late on this one, I feel that I want to make 2 observations. 1, That The phrase "educating clients" is irritating. 2. Give them all the facts, options etc, but they look to you for guidance, what they want to know is, Should I take it down? you are the expert. get off the fence.
  8. out of curiosity why would you do it? I see you live in Sweden, is it to drive out there?
  9. good point, never thought of that, food for thought,
  10. we are talking about chain lubricant, not the mix, it does not burn.
  11. for about 3 years now I have been using old engine oil fron my diggers chippers vans etc.either mixed with proper oil or not depending on my mood. total number of bars changed, zero. everything runs fine. There will be naysayers shaking their heads but I run from ms200 to 088 everyday, (not the 88 every day but you know what I mean)
  12. would not be a problem, as you grind the bottom it will create a ramp of grindings to reach the top.
  13. just had another look maybe 2hrs being careful around the wall.
  14. I am a little confused, is there a reason you cannot use a grinder? if not then there is your answer, "end of" as the youths say, all this talk of mattocks and wedges and winches is, frankly nuts. 1 hr max with any pro stumpgrinder.
  15. come on then Gardeners Worlds on, spill!
  16. dunno but anyone who says they would not climb it is a bottler.
  17. not the same and you know it.
  18. sure there is an entirely innocent explanation, but I would like to hear it.
  19. I would trade places with Wills tonight!
  20. yeah thanks, bit off message but needed saying.
  21. The queen puts in a fair shift at 84.
  22. He's not clever enough for that.
  23. looks dirtier than her sister, (in a good way)
  24. You have a point, I said to the missus that he is obviously a ***** but 400 quid to fell and take away those two connys whilst pricey is not criminal. as for the two grand hedge we were shown no proof of that, as you say a hidden camera (and microphone) could make us all look bad. however after all that he was a lying fat do as you likey.
  25. did a bit years ago, gruesome, not suprised you want out.
