Spending some lockdown savings on a 2 post lift
difflock replied to difflock's topic in General chat
AhHa, I like yer mates thinking MB. P.S. Thanks Bob, that is reassuring since I would only be using it on a very intermittent basis. -
Advice sought, looking to lift a LWB G Wagen, so sub 3 tonne, but guessing better to aim for a 4 to 5 tonne capicity model? 2nd 3Ph commercial(but I ud need a ph convertor ) or new 230V Chineseium ? Any to avoid in particular? Cheers Marcus

After our premature exceptional April heat we had a quite tight and very late May frost for 2 or 3 nights in a row, which left Beech and Oak looking like someone took a blowlamp to the leaves and the fresh new growth on the Beech.

Funny enough I was earlier tempted to refer to "breeding" as being more important than race, always imagining falling in with a well-bred Nigerian lassie, at Uni fer instance, and her parents reaction to moi, when she took me home and introduced me. "Get that white trash out of here" would be about the gist of it. But I can find that amusing and not be offended by the underlying rationale.

Pure semantics Mark. So why do we identify hundreds of different dog breeds, never mind birds, since they are all the same specis. The human animal is no different, and as subject to conveinent labelling, by all and sundry. Cheers Marcus

Where did I mention race in the context of this remark? The differences in breeding between regions, yes, or whatever way you wish to describe clearly recognised DNA differences within a European context. And since you raise the issue, at some point these clear genetic differences are collectively labelled, and not just by us "whities". As I keep saying, we are all different, and I know enough rascals from my own bloody tribe, to have little inclination to be particularily concerned about "racial" differences across the globe.

One of our bridesmaids had a boyfriend with a well educated but distinctly Irish brogue, when I found out his surname was Guidera(again only phonetic, apologies) I asked where his family had blew in from, his answer was; the Spanish Armada, some of his forebearers being washed up on the West of Ireland shoreline. P.S. I was considering getting my DNA analysed, out of pure curiosity.

That is staggering progress re the 350mm battery disc cutter!

Hells Bells, tis well known that Dublin was the slave trading capital of the Viking period, under Viking rule. But indigenous tribes enslaved, not Africans(otherwise I might have inherited a bigger willy, aint life such a bitch) Btw I ponder if the Vikings found the native American peoples too tough a nut to crack, such that they made no Viking inroads on the American continent, despite reasonable grounds for accepting that the Vikings MUST have discovered the American coastline.

Ah! "tcheutka" or "choochter" phonetically as I remember it, was used to describe the "culchies" from the Highlands and Islands by the oh-so-well educated wans in the Glasgie an Tayforth Officer Training Corps. Thanks Sutton, Marcus

I bought an 18V Metabo angle grinder, which is pish-poor compared to the (also Metabo) 230V version. 115/125mm grinders(and indeed bigger ones) must be power-hungry brutes. mth EDIT; Per a comment below to clarify, Part of the pish-poor performance is poor battery life.

Was there much rioting and looting when Lee Rigby was murdered? On the simple grounds that he was well racially different from his murderers. So, like, racism innit, right?

No we fornicating dont mate.

I presumed he was, but hey, at least in that respect he was absolutely correct. But it might be another one, but I figure heads of MI6 stay in post for many many years. So very few retired ones likely to be still alive at any given time.
-
This one puzzles me, is the former head of MI6 simply shit-stirring to settle old scores, or is he misinformed or deluded(highly unlikely) Marcus

Hot weather(bit early this year mind) an certain sectors of society gotta find some excuse to riot.

I took a walk through the Ash I planted 10 to 15 years ago, only a few dozen of them, spaced about 3m apart, and was tickled by the beautiful clean straight smooth boles, up to 200mm dia, to about 3m high. I had idily pruned them a couple of times in the intervening years, more to stop branches slapping me in the face when walking, but it must be said also curiosity as to the difference it would make to the form of the grown trees. I was quite pleased with the results. Twill be a wile pity to lose them to Ash dieback, but hey-ho. Marcus

So as a Welsh citizen, who lives 2 miles from the border with England, pop over the border, drive 260 miles and then 2 miles into Wales, before returning by the same route. And then say; Hey I only drove 4 miles!

Despite using a chainsaw for 45 years without ear protection, I have longtime been a big fan of Eliane as well.
