Owltastic!

Fabulous! Who makes that bench you're using?

Lol @ your signature block. Love it! thanks jon:thumbup:

Not a very helpful comment I'm afraid, but this is why I stopped buying Ryobi junk years ago. Took forever to start, then shook my nerves to death with nasty vibration. Ryobi must mean 'curse of uselessness' in some language, possibly Chinese.

My guess. EGR problem. Exhaust Manifold Gasket Failure Turbo bearings worn Just some guesses.

And all the shops are shut on Sundays!

I'd just rather look at talk about chainsaws than watch so called 'celebrities' being annoying, like my other half enjoys.

That's told me then, Bren. I can see why you were named Bren, since you seem to enjoy shooting holes in people! Joking aside. You're right. I will make a bigger effort to kit up and stay alive. Just need to slow down on the motorbikes and I'll be the perfect man!

I must admit I was cutting some firewood yesterday with just jeans and husqvarna forestry helmet and gloves. I have a pair of Stihl Economy trousers and Hiax boots as well as Husqvarna gloves. How essential are the boots and gloves? Should I upgrade my trousers (and I would have worn them but couldn't locate them).

Always best to make your own 'processed' meat products. The quality of meat used in the supermarket pork pies / scotch eggs etc isn't really fit for a dog. I bought a Santos meat mincer years ago and now make my own mince, burgers, meatballs, etc. Not tried sausages yet as I've not got the casings and a stuffer yet, but will get round to it. Reason why I stopped eating shop bought cack is a contractor I was working with years ago had done some work in the loft space of a large food factory who made amongst other things sausage meat for scotch eggs. They were working directly above the hopper which the 'meat' was being fed into along with lots of 'fillers' and additives. Anyway, his mate put his foot through the ceiling and sent a load of roofing board debris, rat droppings and other nasties flying down into the hopper. They rushed to the floor supervisor in a panic to tell him expecting him to stop the machine and have the hopper emptied. "Ah, don't worry about that, it'll all get ground up and nobody will be able to tell!"

How do people find out that Doritos and Pringles make good firefighters?

Honda - red body white fuel tank. At that price, not Honda. Trust me.

Ok looks through my tired eyes to be a Chinese 'Loncin' type engine. Not necessarily a bad thing since you can always look out for an equivalent Honda engine on eBay so when it inevitable implodes you can replace it with a decent one. The rest will be a gamble, but nothing that can't be tightened up on delivery and checked regularly. Chinese crap has a habit of disassembling itself in my experience.

Yes. Ring ding ding ding bang. I'll go and have a look.

Your wife...bought you a 372XP? Could you write a book on hint dropping/hypnosis?

If it's a Clarke branded machine, for goodness sake sign up for their mailing list in store (possibly online too). Wait a few weeks and you'll soon get emails and postcards allowing you to buy the Clarke range VAT free. Even if you're VAT registered you save something like 16% if my memory serves me. Of course it'll be Chinese made tat, but at a price much better than the tat made elsewhere. If it were sold somewhere else with a trendy brand name it'd be double the price..

I'm guessing someone has had an Internet spat with some septics and came away licking his e-wounds to the safety of the plucky Brit version.

:laugh1:Must be an Australian import judging by the way it sits on the road Edited to add. I didn't realise someone had beaten me to the joke. I'll get me coat.

How are you getting on with that MS251 you bought second hand? Tried it yet? I know you were regretting buying it, just wondered if it turned out ok.

What ever happened to plastic irons and tea sets? Girls these days seem to be getting mini chainsaws, hard hats and model vehicles. Wait, it's 2015! I'll get me flux capacitor.

I can't help but see the funny side of Jon's flirting with Landy, as he's got in his signature block the he's looking for 'big butts' and wants 'hard wood'... Be afraid, be very afraid!

Let's hope you have some luck persuading her to get some help and her prospects improve as a result. Let us know how you get on!

We have our first convert! Go for it Andy, you won't look back!

As stated in my example above. The amount of worthwhile nutrients in plant matter are in such small concentrations in their natural form that you would have to eat them in horse fodder quantities to survive and flourish. Yes vegetarians can live on such a diet, but most people turn to juicing for different reasons. Either you're in bad health (i.e have tumours) and wish to revert the problem, in which case you give the digestive system a welcome rest and let the colon flush out and repair (gross I know), or you're looking to improve vitality or lose weight. In the first instance it's impractical to much kilos of root veg each day and wouldn't give the digestive tract any rest bite. In the latter scenario, one would be eating a healthy normal diet and supplementing this with the juices to 'cover all bases' and fill the gaps left by a modern diet. Fibre is good for your body in proportionate quantities, so saving the pulp to use in breads or other foods is a good way of retaining it's usefulness proportionate to what your body needs or can cope with. To put it in layman's terms, how many people start the day eating 4 oranges or 5 apples as opposed to drinking a large glass of the juice?

:001_tongue:Not if I spray it blue! That was one of my motives for going makita again, they all look the same! Now I'll have to fill the place with Huskys (if I pull the trigger on a 365) :thumbup:
