  1. Very interesting.
  2. That'll be fine. There'll be any number of them on marketplace. Of course satisfy yourself they're not stolen first.
  3. I had a massive plate of similarly small diameter black pudding in Lithuania the other night. Identifiably offally, unlike any I've had here. Weirdest thing was it didn't come with any potatoes, salad etc. Everyone else's dishes did.
  4. Buckin Billy Ray has a roller style one. Watch any of his (four thousand) videos on bar maintenance.
  5. Eject - dead.
  6. I’m on holiday too (Lithuania). Drugs very illegal here. Killed a whore instead.
  7. SIPPs and SSASs are what you need to google.
  8. Bullace was one of my second guesses.
  9. Eastern Lithuania if that makes a difference
  10. My mate claims he’s never seen fruit on it. Suspect it is anyway.
  11. What machine is it?
  12. And then there’s Stuart living the dream with both.
  13. You’re talking about Rotatech £12 chain. I’ve always been an ardent Stihl user but have heard reports of bad metal recently. Points not holding, chrome flaking off the top plate. Has anyone here seen that? If it’s the case then firstly I’ll be depressed as hell and secondly I’ll be thinking why not buy crap as long as it’s cheap crap.
  14. Smoke Sunak.
  15. If you want to kick arse, the 500i. If you don’t need the absolute best power:weight you can get and would rather have the slightly more maintainable carb for the long term serviceability, the 461. That said, how often do injectors go wrong in all the modern things they’re in. My 500i had a new one not long after I got it and the risk of repeat failure doesn’t worry me now (and I’m the sort of person who worries about stuff like that). The price difference really does make your choice hard because a 25” on a 500i really does sing.

    Builders use Henrys because they have a face on and pitch conversation at the right level.
  17. Get used to using the pull line as a progress capture and pig pulling it with whatever you have to hand. That way the winch doesn't need to be anything special or anything with a long pull. This guy pigs onto the progress capture (tree wrap) rope with a prussik but you could use a portawrap for the progress capture and an alpine butterfly for the midline attachment if you prefer. Bear in mind you might need several butterflies for long pulls and they need to be far enough away to not interfere with your progress capture and close enough together that your short-pulling pig system can reach the next one. The video guy's pig system is the orange tape. The sort of thing you could use is a wire comealong, which are cheap as chips, commonly available here and strong.
  18. Google gave me the NGK reading guide but it’s nothing like the green I’ve got. I’ll email NGK and thrash out a royalty arrangement for them using my photos.

    I'm recruiting for one with a similar purview but that's a bigger job.

    Now that's sales patter I can get behind.

    I want local electrical infrastructure to suffer when I turn it on.

    Does the EU bollocks apply to just domestic ones? ie If I buy one from screwfix, will it be full fat?
  23. I've got a 2 horsepower, 50 litre, oiled single cylinder in the shed and it's barely big enough. Runs constantly and drops pressure while blowing stuff out, saws, boots, trousers, helmet etc. Even more annoying when it's underpowering an impact wrench. I'd consider a 50 litre twin cylinder if I was tight on space but bigger if at all possible. Don't consider an oilless model. They break.
