Most disgraceful customer supplied refreshments.
AHPP replied to Mick Dempsey's topic in General chat
Where does the 800lb gorilla sit? Wherever it wants to. The strongest north east accent I've ever heard was a mackem I used to kickbox with. I introduced him to my (quite southern) parents on one of their forays into the bleak, furthest province. They spent about 80% of the time squinting at him, nodding along politely and the rest looking back at me to translate. A solid twenty minute chat and they can't have understood more than forty words. He eventually revealed he was off to Spain to teach children English as a foreign language. Dad caught that one and basically spat in his face laughing. Those poor Spanish kids are in for summer resits if their only exposure to English is from my mate from Pennywell. -

I just binned someone off facebook because they posted about their sticky toffee pudding flavoured coffee they had this morning. -

I often have a long drive home so get the customer to put me some fruit tea and a spoon of honey in my flask for the road. Sometimes no fruit tea so approximate with hot squash. Had a cracker the other day though. Put in the requisition and he reeled off a choice of lovely-sounding left wing brews. Went for the hibiscus one with a couple of spoons of what I was suspect was pretty top shelf honey. Made the day. -
Try the climbing forums.

That’s only a tonne over on each. Amateurish frankly. We’ll start talking at 12.

What a fabulous bit of doublespeak. Is she winning a psychological war against hardened villains with a playful winky ear, diffusing potentially violent situations with a wet nose?

A guy I went to school with makes watches. His marketing game is strong. Every Black Friday he announces a 0% discount. Basically says they’re good year round. I like it.

I sat with my mouth agape and watched it about fifteen times. These people have the same chromosomes as you and I. Mad.

Aye. Total bollocks. Knotty bits are dense and embery like eucalyptus.

What does your sawmill does with the scabs?

I'm currently on horse chestnut, poplar and leylandii, largely to make a point. Plenty of cherry, ash and oak in stock too. It all burns.

Crossed wires there. See edit above. Returning to matter at hand, what battery saw are you talking about that runs out of oil before battery? I've got a Stihl 120 and 220 and they run out of battery before oil, as they should.

Petrol outlasts oil. Edit: wrong and irrelevant

That’s not blind compliance for the sake of compliance. That’s just good ropework.

Do you have trouble with certain types of trousers? Can you get the correct foot in the correct leg with some pairs but not others?

People who can’t remember to top up the oil in a battery saw are total retards. It’s just like a petrol saw. You run out of power. You fill the oil and then put either fresh battery power or fresh petrol power in it. It’s the same thing. How are you struggling?!

You have no idea how bang on the money you are. I am bored as merry **************** with fruit tea. Turned down an extremely tempting glass of port while the bag was counted yesterday. I stand, forlornly by the booze every time I go to the shop. I walk down the dedicated aisle of the other shop as a miniature act of masochism.

Pheasant stew. Meat a bit dry. Got impatient.

What’s the longest bar length in the Stihl 3/8 picco 1.1?

Handheld petrol powered winch

Used mine for the first time in a while tonight. To pull the van off wet grass outside my mate’s house. Only 18:00 or so but felt quite conspicuous with a full chat 2 stroke engine attached to a lamp post. Then dropped him home at 21:30 and accidentally set the van alarm off. Winning friends on his manor. -
Hence my questions about buying.

The one without wheels? I think it looks excellent. Easy importing it? I really should make a small one for my little machine. I suspect the abi one would be too big.
