A safe enough exercise, IF he hadda rehearsed in his head the possible pitfalls/hazardous outcomes, and then merely let go of the saw. As wot like I udda done(& have done) :001_tt2: I dont fink I seen this clip on this forum yet?

:thumbup: This, i like! oh, n' Another P.S. Toddlers and stairs, they only roll down once, toddlers bounce extremely well btw!, our pair got the free run of the carpeted stairs, by the time they managed to climb up, they were robust enough to fall down! His nibs also attempted shaving, aged about 2 or 3, fortunately with a safety Razor, unpacked from my stowed away TA kit. Good job he didnay find them grenades, cos, like, they were in the other (grenade) pouch.

JHC I ran the angle grinder down the edge to blunt it, until he bruised his and his Sisters fingers( & she larned sommat from THAT experience, but then she, aged about 5 or 6 branded him "quite accidently" with a red hot poker, which we only became aware of when they were well growed up) Poker heated in the Morso Stove in the living room by the way. It was also given to him, when relative to his bodily strength, that he could just about lift it, so first he crawled, then he walked, then finally ran, so to speak. Then I sharpened it, along with a collect of other edged instruments.(and he still got a fingers 100% complete) Anyway he and his cousins figgered out how to sharpen a very sharp point on a stout Ash stick. To make a Spear to throw at each other.(Lord of the Flies anyone?) Sister in Law was having Kittens, while I chortled into my Beer. PS Having crashed a Kawasaki Mule at 14 or 15, he was, and is a very careful car driver. Nicknamed "Granny G . . . .", by his contempories. cheers

Ground source hear system Trying to communicate with the Dead then Stephen? Certainly in a prime spot for such an endouver!

Eh! Absolute truth, as best I remember, apart from my surmise as to the reasons the black Dr. appeared to approve of allowing children/toddlers to play with machetes. Why? Is my favourite word. Keep asking why? why why

:lol: Well, now? He mighta attended Gordonstoun as well as Eaton/Harrow, as well visiting his (presumably African) homeland where OBVIOUSLY (innit!|) the toddlers are encouraged to play with machetes.:lol: PS I read an account, probably in National Geographic, of a South American tribe, which, despite being ever unaware of Darwins existence, allowed his logic to rule. In that they blythly allowed the toddlers to play with machetes, climb tall trees, play on the banks of fast flowing rivers, etc etc. To inevetably produce better (i.e. the survivors) adults.:lol: I liked their pragmatic approach. m

Ah!, now did someone mention travellers, intelligent, generally physically strong, mechanically gifted, posessing of very strong family/tribal values, and blessed with much legal knowledge and the "gift o the gab". Just a terrible pity they apparently regard the non-traveller population as fair game to be preyed apon. From direct personal experiences.

I read some of the above posts with slack jawed amazment! Despite my agricultural upbringing, or indeed perhaps exactly because of it I appreciate that we are all different, different abilities even within the same bloodline/family, let alone the local community. Some are intelligent, some physically strong, some good with people, a few are all of the above, some destined to unskilled work for the rest of their lives, some cut out to be surgeons or vets. Some are feckless scoundrels, some very decent people. Absolutly regardless of ethnicity. A kinda an aside, when wor Son cut himself with a machete, aged about 5, we took him to the casualty, where he was treated by a very very very black Dr. complete with the Tribal scarring on each cheekbone. He was clearly better bred than either of us, spoke impeccable English, and probably educated at Harrow or Eaton, and a lovely lovely man, who appeared to be entirely approving of us letting our child play with a machete. Unlike the local harridan of a Nurse. Then we got the pure bred Anglo Saxons round the local bonfire, still living in the Middle Ages, blaming witchs and Roman Catholics for all their self inflicted problems. It is the same the world over. m

Remind me there Huck, (i) how much oil is left in the North Sea? (ii)That is economically viable to recover at todays prices? OOPS!

Ah! Apologies, not to see the Dr., simply a fresh order (i.e. a repeat perscription) of morphine 'n other goodies for the Mrs. An appointment could be 2 or 4 weeks. But I, not unreasonably, suspect that I could have breezed straight into the Dr., since I cannot imagine his waiting room was any busier, pity I did not think to check.

Gentlemen, Sommat to reflect on, from my very recent direct observation. I popped into the local Health Centre, about a week ago, during our reasonably extended period of stupendously fine weather. At first I thought it was a training day, the car park was 1/2 empty, and normally I have to the furthest reachs to get parked(if at all) Went in, absolutly no queue,instant service, ordered the prescription and left. Collected the script the next day at the usually queued out nearby Chemist. Again the chemist's shop was empty, no queue, instant service. The penny dropped! The weather was too good to be sick! Which begs the question, how sick are these people usually clagging up the NHS. Answer, not very, or mostly psyscosomatic and simply looking for sympathy or attention. If good weather is all is needed to make them well, they should not need to see a Dr. if the weather is inclement. regards, marcus

Gents, not sure if I mentioned this on here, but the top 10 benefit claiming families in Northern Ireland share just over £560,000.00 between them. The top 2 families each have 5 children with a wheen o DLA claims/cars/cash threw in. Official NI Govt. figures as a result of a written question. Since those on benefits get their money effectively after Tax, plus all the other freebies, teeth and spectacles for instance. I believe this worked out at the equivalent of earning £80,000.00 to £90,000.00 before tax. Now that is quite some income within the earning opportunities available in Nothern Ireland. But then these poor underpriveledged persons need more "income" since they got fornicating all to do each and every day but spend it. Look it up if you like.

Coming out of my Winter Hibernation (in Mid May!) see The stacked pile was the result of tidying up the mixed size mess that had accumulated over 10 years. The billet bundels are the "way forward" I intend to start processing into billet bundles, up the Moss "at source" then transport (on front and rear linkages) the billet bundles down to the yard to stack to season, then lift and place under cover, one last lift to inside the boiler room (& a Pallet truck looks ideal) Cut to length with a single Phase cross cut saw and straight into the boiler. To minimize manual handling.

A strong chance of Repetitive Strain injury to my right wrist.. .. .. perhaps:blushing:! But no excessive vibration.

AhHa! My wife and Daughter both got Raynaulds, and even as a young man in the TA, I could not grip a pencil in the Jan/Feb Scottish winter cold, while others were not the least bothered. Prob just age, and ongoing physical decrepitiude related, since only started recently. Ah well. Still glad to wake up grumpy any morning!

I am quite fond of the few Rooks that nest locally, and in company with the Jackdaws (who are nesting in the Chimmneys of the house) and Magpies,(vermin that need shooting) come back religiously each Spring, I presume at the hungeriest time of the year, to raid the dog nuts I put out each morning at 06:10. To feed the young in their nests presumably. Quite cheeky too! Right in at the back door under a car-port. Sit on the Concrete only 5 or 6 m away for the dogs to finish. M

How much exposure does it take? Which hand, if there is a difference? is the most likely to Exhibit symptoms. cos my left index and second finger have started getting bloody annoying in the cold. Just this past Spring.

tsk tsk the mounted howitzer type obviously DUH!

If the gearing wisnay changed, and since tractors are limited to 50km (say 30mph) What unearthly engine rpm's were they not pulling to clock near 90 mph! Three times the normal max revs by my crude calcs. Does not quite compute.

Simply allows mechanical handling, incl higher mechanical stacking, therefore less covering required, plus easier, or more definitive measurement of volumes. M

Strangely enough having read this post sometime last week. When we were leaving the house yesterday morning, I could not help but laugh at a Blue tit very very persistently scouting out the 1490 DB, currently abandoned in the middle of the back yard. No doubt I shall find a nest in about the air filter or radiator cowling or somewhere such-like!
