  1. another one being a twat 😂😂
  2. Your lucky it was just you, if we was on a felling site and one of my lads tested positive it would be all of us off site immediately, until further notice pending a investigation,
  3. Total agree with FAC getting harder to get now but it will only get even harder in the future, go for it now as you have nothing to loose, I recently was going to take some scrap in and was asked to bring either a photo driving licence or valid passport of which i have neither, but i did say i had a SGC with photo id on it, answer was we cant accept that ??? my answer was any dick head can get a driving licence or pass port but not every one will get a SGC or FAC,,,
  4. My grand parents had a Collie call Murk and one called Rain along with many others,
  5. Yes that Collie was a smart dog in more ways than one, its mother was a good working dog on a hill farm up east Lancs where i worked now n then, when i went to the mother in laws the collie would be going round n round in the back of the van as the mother in law had a fair lot of chickens n ducks and smoke would be up n down the field with them all day,
  6. One I said I would post a bit back for Gary112, sorry for quality of photos as they are photos of photos, Grey and white border collie that we had called Smoke, First photo circa 1985 about 14wk old on the banks of Loch Awe, Second photo curca 1987, Smoke aged about 2 ish and the first Lab I had called Dusk about 9mth old at the time taken on a bright but cold morning on Derwentwater Keswick.
  7. A 3" nail works wounders and its cheap as,
  8. The last Lancaster to come home from the Rhur dams raid on this morning of May 17th 1943 was piloted by Flt Sgt Bill Townsend, Here he is nearly on the ground with the sun coming up behind him as he fly,s his Lancaster over the Dutch coast at 60ft to avoid flack and anti aircraft fire on his way out to the North sea heading home to RAF Scampton, these men deserve the highest of respect in book for what they did,

  9. I thought it looked a bit pissed, but did think it was me, as its been a long day with loads of problems and headaches 😂
  10. Sorry the 80th aniversary of the dams raid is next year, its the 79th this year,,,
  11. Its been all over the UK this wk end to mark the end of WW11 and it will all so be the 80yr aniversary of the Dams raid tomorrow night 16th/17th may
  12. Any thing containing Chris Packham or should we say kwis !!
  13. Sorry to hear this, i went through it about 6mth ago, had a good innings thou at 15yr 5mth
  14. Lads in building next to me have one and there making steel framed buildings, load all buckets and all agri repairs etc, but there,s wont be 480 quids worth tho, more like 3/4k as they are cutting every day with it, seen them cutting 40mm plate with it a few wk back and made a very tidy job in quick time,, i would think the machine you quote above will do owt you want to do, you all so need a compressor as well which i will suspect you all ready have,,
  15. I dont even think all the photos are taken at the same place ? or same time ? personally i would not be sending any money with out seeing it and fetching it away with me, as said before there is nothing in the back ground in the photos , this all ways makes me very wary of adds like this,, many years ago i went to some deserted farm buildings and i am near on 100% sure every thing stored there was dodgy,,,,, Look else where for one,
  16. But you probably share yours 😂
  17. I seen one working about 4 yrs ago and i thought exactly the same, when i thought about it i did look at them and a few others, havent got one yet as my timber job has not come off yet,
  18. one or two points i dont really agree with here, how many saws do Echo sell ? and how many saws do Stihl sell ? i think the sale numbers will be miles apart with Stihl selling a lot more than Echo so there are bound to be more problems posted about Stihl, the quote you make about Stihl dealers not helping with warranty ? simple reason for that is some one askes there local dealer for a price on a saw and its £30 more than buying it on line from a shop 200mile away, they buy on line and them take to local dealer to get fixed under warranty, Ok dealer has to fix it but it dont say when in the warranty, if i was a Stihl dealer and this happened the said saw would just be put on the list and have to wait its turn,, One thing i have lern,t over the years is dont piss your local dealer off, i but saws from 2 local shops and the saw goes back to the one it was bought from and the service has all wats been very good, like drop it in on way home and ready to collect day after at dinner, As for mtronic and the injection system giving problems and being junk, it sounds like you been reeding on the Stihl fans page on face ache ? had several mtronic saws and only ever had a problem with one and that was a very early Ms241 with mtronic, it was all sorted in a short space of time and only ever gave one more problem after that and that was a fuel solenoid but when saw was collected i was given the print out from dealer and the saw had done 460 odd hrs, so given that 460 hrs on a small saw in commercial forestry work with only 2 problems over 4 yrs i dont think is to bad really, The 500i well i know lads who work them saws 5/6 days a wk putting 7/8 ltrs of fuel a day through them and i only know of one that had a problem but i and others just think the problem was down to the bellend owner who has a awful habit of not concentrating on what he is doing and the times we have seen him fueling up and putting chain oil in both tanks, says it all i think,,
  19. Now when i was thinking of a mill back in November i asked someone who does a bit of milling about Woodland mills, and i asked him what they where like he just told me dont bother there crap ? i tend to differ on that one and i think he told me that, as he wants one but cant afford one !!!!
  20. must be one hell of a splitter for 7k, you would pick a decent processor up for that, if he aint willing to send you more photos i would say the photos are scamed photos and i would say the machine dont exist ?? one simple way to find this out is just ask if you can be there at 8/9am one morning with pick up or trailer to collect and pay when there, if answer is no as he is at work ask for a later time, if he is not willing to accomadate you and he only wants to deliver, i would not bother with it and look else where for one but be careful, some one i know in Manchester bought a ifor tipping trailer out of south Wales with a 48hr delivery time, here we are now 20mth later and still no trailer, sellers phone was dead with in 3 days, so no trailer and 3.8k lighter, be very careful, i dont know what splitter it is but if you gave us a link to the add or even a make/ model, i am sure some on here would addvise you on said item,,
  21. Em,, Boundary trees generally equal a metal content ?, as at some point in the trees life it will of had a fence fixed to it, the timber from Ash with Ash dieback is of generally low value due to its calorific value, possibly the only value would be the main stem but would depend on size and colour inside ?? There is a lot of work involved in what you asking and i would be surprised if any one would take this on , some photos and dimensions would help a lot to get a better idea,
  22. Did you or any one else spot Dillian Whyte,s tooth flying through the air ? Fury,s punch didnt look like it connected fully but to knock a tooth out it must of done, hence the the way Whyte was stumbling about, but Fury did land a punch about half way through the 5th round that looked as if it nearly took Whyte,s head off, may be that is where the damage was started, Whyte now wants a rematch as he is saying it was a illegal knockout as he was pushed and the ref didn,t give him enough time to recover,,,,
  23. just watched it and yes it was a bit of a lunge from Miller that cost em both, but it is not the first time nor will it be the last time we see a move like that, other wise good race amd good result,
  24. Mir, Zarco, Miller, cant really rule any out but i would like to see a dry track and i think Miller is in with a shout of a win, but we can never rule that man Marquez out, i am no fan of him but i have to admit he all ways seems to amaze me, And as for bike racing roll on the next 30 days and TT 2022 will be under way,,, bring it on,,
  25. And I said 6th round he would have it sorted out and he did, may be Eggs i should of took your addvise and had a flutter, 😒😒
