  1. Someone get that man a TV series!
  2. I can see where you're coming from but the angle I was pushing hardest was why is it one rule for one and another rule for another. In terms of qualification, training etc then I am a fan of people getting on with it. The delights of natural order and the free market economy (manifested in insurance companies and training providers) will sort out the majority of problems.
  3. Thank me by writing to your MP and ask him why if your mum can drive a heavy trailer why can't you.
  4. http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/general-chat/28601-b-e-training.html
  5. Enjoyed the video. Nice change to crash and bash heroics. More please.
  6. I'm near Sudbury and won't be going miles out of my way. Delivery to Sudbury ish is fine. My mate is in Ipswich. Look forward to hearing from people.
  7. I assume you mean what will he give for them. It's not a favour kind of thing. He'll be giving money for them. I'm hoping to hear things like, "Have got some boards like that; how does £X suit your mate?"
  8. A mate wants to do a table top with oak boards and asked me to find some for him. Wants the boards to finish to: 1600 x 205 x 40 mm 63 x 8 x 1.5 inch Needs 4 boards. Anybody got anything?
  9. Blimey. I usually only take half a thou at a time (not chipper blades). Never seen a set of chipper blades that need sharpening. How bad do they get? How much needs to come off? I'd have thought maybe 15 thou if they're just dull but if they have chunks out then I suppose they might need as much as 50 off! That *would* take ages...
  10. Alternatively, something else is a few inches too long.

    Uses for wood

    This wasn't just woodworking. Included stuff like what's best using for firewood, charcoal etc as well as stuff like young coppice poles being used for weaving and older ones being used for whatever.
  12. How long does a pair take on the surface grinder? How much do you take off in what increments?
  13. Sod a mini digger falling over. What's the story with your avatar?!
  14. Looking very crisp and square!
  15. Is it illegal in any?

    Uses for wood

    Someone must have seen it?
  17. There was a link on here a few weeks ago to a site/document with a quite thorough list of uses for different kinds of wood. So for example you look up sweet chestnut and it tells you what you can use inch or two coppice poles for and also what you can do with a bigger stem. Detailed properties of the wood, so good for burning, making charcoal, building, whatever. Can't find it now. Can anyone remember the link I'm talking about?
  18. That smacks of so much abuse of (perceived) power. Can you recall everything that was said to you by the police quite clearly?

    Summary Justice

    Good points. Furthermore: His story Their story The truth
  20. There are different kinds of pigeons but most can be destroyed/nests destroyed under the same rules that govern shooting. You've got to be doing it for the right reason, like the protection of crops, public health etc. I imagine it's all in the Wildlifeand Countryside Act.
  21. Come on, RangerMatt. Be good enough to answer the man's question. Do you really want the chap put in prison?
  22. Further to my post here I have received the following reply from my MP.
  23. What do people think about the following points of view? 1) A helmet without a chin strap is useless because it be knocked off. 2) A helmet without a chin strap is worse than useless because not only can it be knocked off but it gives the wearer a false sense of security.
