  1. Someone on facebook was selling four. Good luck. Make sure your vaccinations are up to date.
  2. Sturges v Bridgman is English but is about local characteristics, similar to the Roman urban/rustic divide you describe. It’s just the case that came to mind and struck me as comparable to any zoning that alters thresholds or standards in lex/wrongs/tort. If I was writing about it, I’d see how many different jurisdictions have something similar.
  3. I’m obliquely interested in the law and more interested in how you would discern what the law is. Go as deep as you like.
  4. I see. I’m curious how you would go about finding out? My first enquiry would be Sturges v Bridgman AND some Roman or civic system keyword into a database and hope for a journal article.
  5. Thanks. Bore me as much as much as you like. I have a reasonable feel for English law but know very little about Scots. Anything will help get my eye in.
  6. I share your frustrations with Stihl customer service btw. They changed it from Camberley to Greece in the last year or so. The one time I called them, I talked for a good minute, detailing a problem I’d had and asking very specific questions about the fuel injector on a 500i. “So is this a chainsaw you have a problem with, sir?”
  7. Are you forcing it through the cut? Where are you? Some kind, local soul might look at it.
  8. Do you mean time immemorial, i.e. 1189? What's the earliest caselaw that accepts it as the law?
  9. Just a possibility. It's the sort of thing I would do if I chose to be a bastard. Solidarity and sympathy btw.
  10. Please understand why I can’t be a part of this forum anymore.
  11. Since we're on the subject.
  12. Tune. The State of Massachusetts the other Dropkicks song that springs to mind.
  13. Could be tree surgeons. They took the ubiquitous Timberwolf that can safely slide into service and torched the remaining competition.
  14. Trust them as far as you can throw them, check the wording inside out and backwards and insist on any assurances being written down and accepted as incorporated contractual terms.
  15. I work for a firm near you and they’re about to replace their Först ST6 with another one, principally on the strength of dealer support. They had an engine or computer problem with the current one and it was sorted under warranty pretty quickly. They’re obviously happy enough with performance. Maybe Först are turning a corner.
  16. I think I’d find that immensely satisfying. Unless I ran into a bundle of wire or something of course. Is it that you don’t like doing it or does it not pay enough?
  17. Big pot of whatever on top. I have an aluminium saucepan that accommodates a sixteen pound turkey.
  18. Probably there all three days. Haven’t done any homework on what workshops are running this year. Won’t be bothering with the bat one again.
  19. I'm absolutely terrified what the government are going to do about the energy hubbub. The last time they "helped" it tripled my bills.
  20. Getting round to it. Can I have more than one entry?
  21. Tree surgeons dong clearance: One of my earliest freelancing gigs was on a clearance job. A five acre garden with about three acres of trees, a sort of plantation and some dotted about specimens. Mostly small stuff, 6-12" DBH. It was three or four of us manually felling and feeding a shit 6" chipper on a trailer that we couldn't push. A Transit would cart chip to a pile and get stuck. A pickup turned up eventually to move the chipper and a tractor with a loader bucket turned up at the end to collect the wood (cut to man manageable pieces obviously). The driver couldn't scoop it so he loaded it into the bucket manually. I remember at the time being primarily aggrieved we couldn't just burn it all but how badly it was planned didn't sink in until it was over. I didn't know anything about machines at the time and just did what I was told and paid for. Some monster digger was coming in afterwards to dig the stumps out anyway. God knows why the boss didn't mechanise. The job was fifteen miles from Justin Kingwell's yard. Fittest I've ever been though.
  22. I was reading this thread this morning and have some sketches somewhere in a foot or two radius of where I'm sat now of tripods, cranes and gantries made of stage lighting truss. I suspect you were talking about your man basket though?
  23. I'd be interested to see them. I'm always looking for new ways of doing things. Start a thread for your inventions if you feel so inclined.
