Hi Shavey, I'd like a price please mate. I'll PM you tomorrow to request one. Thanks.

Just to clarify. It wasn't me who was subject to the 'contamination', but a female student who was studying at Birmingham Uni. She'd suffered some gastrointestinal complaints and other ill effects and visited her doctor. Some blood tests revealed she appeared to have an 'active social life' but the girl was completely abstaining from those 'activities'. After some further probing by the doctor into her lifestyle, it turned out she ate 2 - 3 times a week at a local 'curry house' which welcomes students. Following further investigations by Environmental Health Officers, the place was found to have widespread contamination of their 'sauces' with the DNA of numerous persons 'gentleman seed' and as a result they were shut down and prosecuted. This story (from a good friend I had no reason to disbelieve) was enough to put me off for life. Curry is easy to make at home though. So no worries

I haven't eaten in an (English) Indian restaurant for over twenty years. I had one in Sweden a few years ago, not through choice. The reason was an account of 'contamination' that I'd learnt of locally to where I worked and ate back in the day. The details I will keep away from this family friendly forum. Just to say, the kitchen was found to be clean. The ingredients were found to contain 'numerous' unwanted additives of an organic and exclusively male origin. This was after blood tests.

I'm not being funny (nothing new there) .. But it'd be nice if the Dolmar vendors would just publish some kind of website or price list to save all the foreplay and jiggery pokery in finding out whether a red monster is within our price ranges. I walk out of shops where nothing is priced, not because I wouldn't buy anything there, but because I feel embarrassed to keep asking. On the flip side, I've bought thousands and thousands of pounds worth of stuff because the price looked good!
-
So to summarise. They are the same in either colour. Prices vary. They are fun to use. They are overkill. Shavey doesn't sell them. Someone else does. No prices are available for the Dolmar flavours. Rob D can provide any sized bar required for one of these? If I've got all that correct..am I insane thinking my best bet is to buy a Makita as cheap as I can find one and stick a 15" bar on for insane cutting speeds?
-
I was going to just P.M Shavey and TDC, but thought it better to keep this in an open forum for the benefit of others wondering. What is the difference on this particular (flagship?) model in each guise other than colour? Is it an over ambitious proposition for a home user, even if they known hey don't need one? Also what sort of prices have people found either model at?

I've heard of a big cock protecting the hens, but this is ridiculous! -
I bought a hop handle saw a few years back.. Sold it in the end. It always cut on the pi$$
-
I'd try The Passport Office and DVLA as a starting point. Remind the cat not to smile or wear headgear in the photographs. Good luck!

I like my chainsaws like my women...
-
So what's next bro? 9010?
-
I think it's stable as long as sealed. If you're worried I'll take them off your hands at £2 per litre.

Popcorn time...

:thumbup::thumbup: Me too, hating my two German engineered, a German built Makitas, made by the people who invented the chainsaw. Almost as much as I loathe my two terrible German made, German designed Solo saws, particularly as they wear yellow pyjamas which is soooo uncool. :thumbup::thumbup: #daretobedifferent
-
This is the answer. Go to busy station with many pumps in rush hour. Position van to obscure attendants view, fill away furtively, chuckling like a Bond Villain
-
With our combined arsenal of Makita and Dolmar saws, we're better equipped for the former, I'll grant you. If they send A-I in to get us, I'm gonna set Jon (Mendiplogs) on the bar stewards. He'll chew them up and spit them out, before making a Mad Max like exit across the wasteland in his Landy!

The world is becoming an increasingly irritating, illogical and frustrating place. Legislation for the sake of it. Bring on The Apocalypse!

If he doesn't reply within 24 hours it's safe to assume he followed Eggs' advice and is now in police custody!
-
Aaaaaand...Sawtroll kills another interesting thread dead because some people are open minded enough to try something other than a blimmin Husqvarna. I'd love to know his opinions on my Cub Cadet saws? I'm gonna start printing his posts off too...to remind me to be open minded.

Why did the mushroom go to the party? Because he was a fungi!
-
relax... crack a beer... get on tinterweb. buy next chainsaw. repeat!
-
That's pretty much what I'd envisaged before I got 'all fancy'. Hinged roof panels is a great idea, or sloping backwards would aid access. I can see why you went the other way (neighbours, nice stone wall etc) Thanks mate.
-
Wow, are you kidding me? I'd move out of the house, fill that with wood and live there! It's idyllic!
-
Thanks Brian, sounds perfect mate, I've got all the stuff..when can you start?
-
Also good advice, the pitched roof is a must, and the bay idea was something I'd contemplated as my wood comes in sporadic 'batches' of varying ages and types. Thanks:thumbup1:
