Had one. Shot zero arabs with it. Guns don't kill people, rabbis do.

Yes. Stop hiding behind details. That bloke over there kicked those children to death. Which foot did he do it with? **************** off.

I'm (as part of my unabomber arc) becoming a luddite. A friend asked me the other day when I thought technology should have stopped. She reckoned the age of the Nokia 3310. I said go back further, at least before machine guns. Now I love guns (and I wouldn't dream of telling anyone they can't have any) but it's mainly large criminal organisations like nation states using machine guns so I might be quietly pleased if they didn't exist. You wouldn't miss what you didn't know. Might be. Not fully sure what I think about it yet.

It starts slow and a bit luvvie but stick with it. There are a few eye opening bits. Plus it's just hilarious.

Pay your staff well.

Not this time. It broke down into dog numbers quite nicely and they need the meat more than I do. Might have done if the Rayburn was going.

Aye. Thanks, both. Had to look up whether beech have the rays because I was pretty sure it wasn't oak or sweet chestnut. What else has them? Come to think of it, what are they?

A bloke better come and install it in the tree for you for that.

How much!?

He's barely been down, the annoyingly positive mindsetter. Makes you sick.

I'm not paying for the ammo. Just turn the dole off and put the phone down the second you hear an accent. They'll soon sod off. There's no other reason to want a brown caliphate stuck out in the East Atlantic.

He's alright. Walking etc. Got off lightly. Could have been spacked. In good spirits. Concentrating on rehab. Probably be back once the embarrassment wears off a bit more.

Dry Wet Wet I’m seeing very prominent medullary rays. Just done a muntjac on it. Four meals for two dogs. Sailor had the head for breakfast. Ran up to the gate to bark at someone with it in his mouth, his tongue hanging out one side, muntjac tongue the other. Artful PR.

Had this on the brain for a few weeks. Band not leaping out of their seats to cover it sadly.

A former colleague's brother had the best GCSE summer holiday work experience you've ever heard of. At sixteen, he spent a week shooting machine guns in the basement there, with other people's ammo.

Haven’t tried yet. Heavy.

Previous owner used it to drill things on. Beech?

What do you prefer: steel carabiner or Hexarope Hands Up?

What were the bits being put right out of interest?

And since we're steadfastly refusing to help the OP, let's just talk about mowers and tractors. What are alpines good for besides looking cool? When would you want one over a conventional tractor and vice versa?

Good work. What device was he winching with? This isn't a common expression in English.

Are those stand on zero turn mowers particularly good for anything? Besides looking relatively fun and being easy to get on and off. At what sort of cut width or machine horsepower does it make sense to go to a single diesel engine (i.e. a tractor)? Because on smaller things, separate engines appeal. My little skidsteer wouldn’t run a mower off the hydraulics. Bigger (like Vermeer stand on) skidsteers aren’t amazing with the hydraulic flails either. So you’d want mowers with their own engines for those. Like a quad towing something with a Honda on top. For small things, I like the idea of two engines to be honest. They can both be set up to work in the proper rev range for either driving or implement powering, best drive trains for each application etc. I suspect a lot comes down to transmission loss. But you’re not going to put a mechanical PTO on a quad bike are you. I’m currently working through a few problems on dad’s ride on to see if it is inherently crap or just in poor order. Hydrostatic drive and blades driven by a clutch onto the engine. Can’t tell if it’s underpowered or losing power in transmission. Tightened a belt last night. Resetting a wonky cushion bearing in a few minutes. Probably sharpen it.

I imagine we gave up India etc because Indians are ****************ing dreadful and whatever we were nicking from them wasn’t worth it.

I had trouble with my MSA 220 oiler a few months ago. Search my threads here. See if any of that seems likely. If it does, @ tag me in this thread. I have a 230 here. Can probably walk through it with you.

Exactly this. I was going to target the worst offending, seaside town ones but didn’t want to leave any doubt that they’re not crass everywhere. But nothing says, “I live in Clacton.” like a 2002 Ford Focus and a palm tree on your paving slab driveway.
