    Oregon chain

    at a guess its the saw doctor could of made a genuine mistake just email them it,ll be put rite before you go into disput etc most sellers are genuine who are power sellers etc there only human like the rest of us we all make mistakes
  2. its chucking it down here i got the splitter out but unless it slows or stops raining i,am staying put watching drew salvage hunter etc but going out if that bloke comes on shouting boom baby rick or nick savage i thinks hais name doe my head in almost as close as go compare i would rather get wet through splitting wood than listen to him saying boom baby hate it when he does that ps raining harder now
  3. i use arb waste as firewood it all costs money theres the diesel a large heavy duty trailer a 4x4 to tow it the handling it umteen times building sheds to house the stuff so need more land then a log splitter then some saws & chains & fuel & maintainance i share all the stuff i get between 4 of us but i suffer the costs i do get help splitting it up sometimes but if you was to try and split arb waste with an axe well all i can say is i dont/wont and some of its worth more in scrap nails and because iam reducing it smaller i hit more nails thus more chains £££££££££££££ some days i feel like giving up with the stuff and either buy it in all done ready or pay a gas bill arb waste is hard work compared to cord>> thats why i built a h/d splitter its slowish but strong chomp,s away and what it wont split i cut up with a chainsaw all takes time & fuel and i,am more worn out at the end of the day good luck
  4. me too rain cleared up about 12.30 pm so been down plot splitting next years logs and on that note we hav,nt had any white stuff here or frost come to think its been very mild so far but got lots of woodlice about when splitting some ash today but the 2 robins i have keep swooping down the min i switch the splitter off there all over it looking for grubs etc in the bark on the floor etc i could sit n watch,em for hours tits that is not robins lol
  5. very heavy rain here now 10 am not good rain stops play as i was going to go down plot to split some logs
  6. classic lol made me chuckle anyway but got to confess why on earth would you want to eat moldy old cheese and back to edam yes i did try to eat the red stuff with the cheese but as it was a box of differant cheeses some fruity etc took it as thats how you ate it and please dont tell me the powder/crust coated soft cheese was the same you have to peel it who on earth thinks up cheese,s with maggots or put skin on them etc edams a throwback cheese gone wrong as in did,nt make the grade its like well nothing no taste naff cheese. i,ve always had cheese with a cracker but was once talked into cheese n strawberry jam on toast not really my bag to be honest cheese is for crackers only
  7. i got a food hamper for christmas very nice i must say and inc was a box of cheeses some soft cheese in like a powder crusty cover that was nice but not so sure about the green moldy stuff is it stilton i think thats just not right eating mold etc and one with what looks like its got fruit in it that was ok,ish my favrit is the orange one not sure it name but the naffist was the waxy one edam so the dog had that lol i like the strong mature cheeses rather than the tastless stuff out there even the red wax or whatever it is was covering the cheese was rubbish thats in the bin now so a lesson learned to not buy fancy cheeses stick to what you know sorry if i,ve got the names wrong i,am not a cheese expert but dont buy or eat the red n white one its horrid waxy and tastless
  8. i took delivery of the 3 tree ratproof bird feeders today so been out to my plot and bolted them by the handles inside my log shelter 1 nut 1 balls tuthers for seed wish me luck as ive lost 4 standard feeders & so far all i,am left with is one plastic handle as the cheeky sods keep chewing through,em and theres no sign of the full feeders
