  1. I’m on your side, dear. I was mocking the mad Russian.
  2. Interesting. Arbtalk remains a broad church.

    Chickens?

    My house isn’t nearly as tidy as the allotment. I’m not remotely joking.

    COLLECTORS.

    Chickens?

    Still have two chicks. Bought some crumb. Seem to be coming on quite fast. They go for a half hour walk outside with mum. One did get picked up by another chicken a few days ago. Chaos ensued. Mum fearless. She’s so far squared up to the geese, the other chickens, Sailor and me to protect them.
  6. You have a distillery!?
  7. He runs a Schliesing, the calling card of the amateur…
  8. No chance. Too frantic noting time, participant number, failure to sound horn, poor road position and excess speed. And they were coming in groups. I should have left a camera running to help.
  9. I’ve been in a bad mood from a miserable earache since Friday afternoon and did not enjoy getting up early to marshall a classic car run. Did someone a favour though so worth the effort to keep the milk of human kindness flowing. Now waiting for a VW Tiguan to collect the paperwork from me, which he wants to hurry up with because I’m almost out of coffee.
  10. This is getting ridiculous.
  11. I must get to the bottom of this. Have asked a few drivers and never got enough convincing enough and similar enough answers to commit it to memory. I think knucklebooms have a different naming/sizing convention to stickbooms. Possibly what you describe is a 100 tonne metre knuckleboom. I’m sure I’ve read something about stick booms (or maybe even some other type) being measured at 2.3 m (or some other, relatively precise number) out, presumably from the centre of the slew ring. So a 60 tonne stickboom would lift that at 2.3 m out.
  12. tl;dr It's lovely. He thinks its western reputation is western propaganda so western people are happy to pay to invade it at some point.
  13. Watched all of his videos. The Indian one is hilarious. Everywhere else in the world he's tolerant and accepting of cultural differences, able to rub along with whoever etc. India was very obviously too much though. He gets pissed off.
  14. As far as I can tell, knuckleboom sizes are done in tonne metres. So if that blue one lifts 6 tonnes at 3 metres, it'd be an 18 tonne metre crane. On another thread a while ago you said you'd have used a 100 tonne hiab for something. Did you mean 100 tonne metre? Internet not super clear on this subject. What's the common way people size and a describe them?

  16. You had 20 years’ experience in January. Don’t sell yourself short.
  17. Paid travel?
  18. What sort of capacity does that hiab have?

    Chickens?

  20. That must be abused to the high heavens! Fake work that never happens, bank transfer one way, cash back the other.
  21. Have I accidentally raised a pertinent botanical issue?!
  22. Well done on candela. I can usually remember mole but not that.
  23. Centimetre is derived from a primary SI unit, the metre, which I think makes it a secondary unit or something like that. Litre isn't SI. Without googling, name the other six primary SI units.
  24. Never seen anyone use mL to measure engine displacement before. Are you boycotting SI units?
  25. How big was the ash dieback experiment tree? Did you factor juglone toxicity into your experiment? At what age/size of walnut tree does it start happening?
