    Not looked. Drowning sorrows. May move on to just drowning. Will check back in to this thread in the morning, when I hope I'll be less annoyed and more proactive about the whole thing.

    Update. Let it sit for a couple of weeks. Hoped it would fix itself. Now it doesn't oil at all; no weep from the duct/gland. Annoyed.
  6. Shutler, you potbellied cryptic. What are you on about?
  7. I've already wanted to kick the whale and and the seal in their politic, warmongering necks, the pricks. Does that count?
  8. How have I never watched this. Superb.
  9. Nice try, fed.
  10. You're doing so well, Mick. Keep going.
  11. A late entry from telehandling on Thursday that shows the workflow/layout nicely. Also an illustration of why I prefer domestic arb to stacking sitka sticks up High Bleakarseburn Fell. Tea being served (on an £80,000 table) with no fear that if I came down for it, I'd have to climb back up up afterwards. The height of civility. And since I'm here, the cuts. I remember before I did any crane work that it was mystical. I approached a few climbers who appeared to do a good amount of it. Some were helpful. Some acted like unionised stevedores. I vowed to be helpful when my time came. Hinged up the two thumbs on the back. 600 and 800kg I think. One sling each (not together). Pick from my first photo of this post, straight up. Pain in the arse flat cut (stubs in the way) and a dog tooth on the back because that's what the crane driver wanted. Two slings. Shackle 1 choked to leg 2, shackle 2 choked to leg 1 (the secret handshake choke). Slashed off the thumb on the left and rode it down. One sling. Big column top middle. Secret handshake. 80% of the cut and then wedge so that if the weight sits it down, it opens not pinches the end of the cut. The 4.something t ball bit from the previous post. Secret handshaked. Nearly cut a < in one side where there wasn't much of a knob to keep the sling down. Did a stump cut and kept it stood up on wedges while the crane did something else. Came and picked it later.
  12. Do engines that use cartridge starters also use a handle? Do you get it turning with the handle then throw the compression lever and fire the cartridge at the same time? I suspect it's just a perfectly ordinarily discarded cartridge in this instance but thought I'd ask for peripheral interest.
  13. One advantage of petrol kit over diesel. Better that than the other way round. Every cloud.
  14. I worked it out after hitting post. You've got prime haven't you. Yuppie.
  15. John Lawrence and Declan Colleran respectively?
  16. I believe I was promised they'd be £20, not £140. My onlyfans hasn't taken off like yours has.
  17. What/who have you two got for grapplesaw roto/lorry hire in your areas?
  18. I'd have thought the piss stains and shouting at pigeons would have been enough. Go on then. Link please.
  19. I know your local town. The brains of it have probably smashed the masts up to cure monkeypox.
  20. Why a roto tele specifically? The ability to fork? Tight access?
  21. More ****************ing shit to charge, hold a button, wait for the flashing lights, remember what the flashing lights mean, pair, use, throw away when it stops charging, buy another, repeat, get angry.
  22. So it’s the young you hate. OK boomer.
  23. It’s sadly on the way out I think. I’m informed it won’t run WhatsApp past May. I’ve been hanging onto it because it has a 3.5mm jack socket. I hate bluetooth headphones.
  24. There are a few more telehandler carriers of grapplesaws around now I think. Lorries are Wallace and Julian on the SW of the M25 and someone up north with a smaller one. Also one in Scotland. I’d be delighted to discover there are more. They’re great.
