  1. Lmfao! You'll just have to buy her a daffodil print burka and a full English breakfast. That should blow her mind and create a full 'reset' Job jobbed, see you the weekend mate.
  2. All's fair in love and rugby! It's the last gentlemanly game left where the banter is light hearted and the players respect each other. The urine extraction is half of the fun, as my mate in Llanymynech and I always find out each six nations via acidic texts during matches lol. If all the worlds disputes would be solved via rugby, IS and the like would pack up and go back to their hovels. Well played Wales.
  3. I was just saying, if you've nothing to add to the OP's requests, then you have no more value to add than my suggestion to buy a Stihl, the KING of chainsaws for pro's, or so I've heard.
  4. In that case you should have advised him to buy a Stihl. I've heard they're the best chainsaws available.
  5. I suggest we all keep a close eye on Gumtree, ebay, loot and the like. The more eyes looking out for this kit the better. Absolutely shocking. I'm sorry for you mate. You must feel devastated. May I ask why the insurance won't pay out? All the best.
  6. Now I have another project to not get round to doing!
  7. Too far for me, but great heads up! Arbtalkers are the best people ever!
  8. Nah, I remember Gareth Chilcott coming to do a speech at our end of fifth year assembly. Back in the good old days eh mate! Even Spurrell went and bought Bog Island which was my downfall as I got a taste for late nights, beer and fights!
  9. Actually, what annoys me is the misuse of the term 'PM' anyway. These idiots on 'The Apprentice' who refer to Project Managers as 'PMs'. These tossers in Prime Ministers Question Time who refer to David Cameron as 'PM' ...when we all know PM means PM sent.
  10. Come on Bath! Just for you Jon. I'm a former Beechen Cliffer!
  11. :
  12. We won!
  13. Don't blow all your dosh on ale Jon, remember you've got to buy the missus that £3000 handbag in the morning. For everything else, there's Barclaycard!
  14. That's because we're too busy running Britain, keeping the unruly Celts in order and avoiding 'all male choirs' to get any practice in mate!
  15. How do you annoy two pedants at the wrong time of the month? PM tea.
  16. Agreed. It usually plays out in conversation like this: American: "oh you're from Britain, cool, I'd love to come to Europe" Brit: "really? Why don't you go there then?"
  17. Agreed, our clubcard points get doubled up or quadrupled every year and pay for a pair of Merlin cards. Free entry to all the country's Theme Parks, Historic venues such as Warwick castle and the Sealife centres. Even gets you into Madamme Tousourds and the London Eye. not bad for buying their reduced veg and the crab I got the other day for £3.25. Yum. Couple of years back managed to get some Guinea Fowl for £0.60 each reduced from £6.00. Love a bargain!
  18. If he's developed a good sense of humour, he'd not enjoy germany in my opinion. Couldn't wait to get home from there last time I was over there for weeks on work. Miserable bar-Stewards who pretended not to speak English and all the shops are closed on Sunday. Come to Britain, it's 'funner' here, as you septics say!
  19. Used to use Solo sprayers exclusively when I was spraying acid to clean brickwork for a living (nasty job). They're very robust, take some abuse and were chemical resistant (the model I used was anyway). Best thing is they keep spares of all the parts that wear out. I used to order stacks of the wands at a time as they're the tiphjngs that get mangled on a weekly basis. Likewise seals go from continuos use.
  20. :thumbup1:Pm sent.
  21. Could you pm me the location. A friend and I would be up for some of that. Cheers.
  22. CLH Trailers in South West Wales, speak to Chris, he'll make you anything you want and is cheap compared to the mainstream brands. You can specify any details you want and choose wheel/tyre size, height of tailgate etc within reason. His stuff is all hand made, properly welded and galvanized. Built like tanks mate! Another good one over my way (Worcestershire) is Hazlewood Trailers, ask for Stuart. Not as cheap as CLH but very good quality, and again you can customise it of needs be. Good luck!
  23. Good call. You may already know, but Makita saws are made in Germany by Dolmar (Fomerly Dolmar Sachs) who Makita bought out. I know a couple of the guys on here sell imported Dolmars (Orange rather than quirky blue) if you prefer, and report they are slightly 'better' in some ways than their Makita equivalent, due to some carburettor differences or something. I'm sure to a noob like us we'd struggle to perceive any differnce if blindfolded (not recommended). Going from an MS 181 I'm sure you'll feel like a chainsaw God using a DCS 5121! You're going from 31.8cc to 50cc and 2hp to 3.3hp. That means you currently have only 64% of the engine and 60% of the power of the DCS5121 currently. I think you'll notice a difference even before it's run in properly.
  24. Haha, thanks. See, even us noobs have our uses on Arbtalk lol.
  25. Get the Makita 5121 for around £350 delivered then. I bet you'll love it, if you don't sell it on eBay once the 'Promo' stock is depleted for what you paid for it and buy a 60cc Husqvarna or Stihl. Simples.
