  1. Are continuous loops used like a ski tow ever used in forestry? I had an idea a while ago for a loop round a capstan and pulley in a push/pull format so you send out an empty choker on one side as you bring in a full one on the other.
  2. Someone recommended polysteel (available on eBay) a few weeks ago. You can get it pretty thick (32mm from memory) and it’s cheap.
  3. Ordinarily, I’d agree. This is council land though. I’d say I was performing a service to my fellow man by weakening them.
  4. A friend recently finished a hard week at the end of several other hard weeks and drove home at 23:00 on a Friday, desperate for his bed. Put his car into the central reservation. As it happens, no injury but that could have just as easily not been the case.
  5. Have you considered the relative merits of commercial rather than residential property? You (and possibly your fiancé) can buy commercial property with a SIPP or SSAS, helped by company pension contributions. I’ll ask one more time. How much money are you making stump grinding? Are you VAT registered?
  6. It’s his prerogative to not tell us if he doesn’t want to. A polite, “I’d rather not thanks.” would be fine but the fact he’s ignored me a few times probably says something.
  7. I see it as two issues. There’s the application of the various tests the common law has developed over the years (substitution, control, uniform, equipment etc). If people want to embark on contractual journeys with each other without first agreeing who stands where, that’s their lookout and they’re going to end up at the mercy of the courts (or arbitrators etc). But where people have defined themselves, I say the position should be that they’ve contracted out of the opportunity to have a court/arbitrator later define them as something else.
  8. Come on Stefan. You’ve started a thread that purports to teach us something (EDIT: although you’ve now changed the name of the thread to one that doesn’t). Give us something that makes us trust you are a credible teacher. How much money are you turning over, spending and profiting? What are you investing in? Kit? Property? Financial products? Or are you just working nights at a PAYE job and grinding stumps for your company by day?
  9. Fuck me. The last brick of Eley or RWS I bought was fifty quid. Remington are crap but Winchester were always good in my CZ. Still forty quid a brick from memory though. I’ve been had.
  10. Little tax being paid sounds ideal. The government wouldn’t be able to afford to fuck us over forty times a day. And as you quite accurately point out, we pay well over the odds for stuff (I’m guessing you mean roads etc) now and still don’t get it. There are voluntary solutions to all this. Dominos Pizza were in the news all of two days ago, filling potholes.
  11. Where on earth are you buying .22 long rifle for 2p a go?!
  12. The state should let people determine their relationships with each other and butt out.
  13. Either. From memory, 10 years for unregistered and 12 years for registered. For the OP’s benefit, I agree with Kevin’s advice.
  14. I agree but he ignored my question about that. Stefan, We’re not on your back. I’m just trying to learn and improve my life. I want to know that if I work 126 hours a week, I’ll make shitloads of money.
  15. I’ve had another thought about your WRC. I recently noticed in a woodland I walk the dog in in Suffolk that some “redwoods” (my generic term for big coniferous trees that I haven’t identified exactly) have recently browned off significantly. They’re edgers so possibly affected by something sprayed on the field? I can put you in touch with the woodland manager there if you think there might be some value in putting your heads together. PM me if you like.
  16. Bear in mind calling the council might stop or reset the clock on any adverse possession you or your neighbours could be in the middle of.
  17. He’s asking what the rest of us are thinking: How much money are you making?
  18. And me. Get a trainer in and split it between us?
  19. How do you get it so that when you click the view unread posts button, it shows you a list of threads with new replies instead of a list of every new post? I've had it set like that before but it's changed and I can't remember how I did it before.
  20. One of my favourites too.
  21. Marigolds, apron, feather duster etc?
