  1. I gather (from the tv programme about it - Mr Bates vs The Post Office - important television) that the programme wasn't AI but just somehow buggy in the [more] traditional sense. That and Fujitsu workers were manually fudging stuff in the back end to make things add up. Still speaks to general competence and trustworthiness.
  2. Fujitsu built the programme that fcked all the postmasters.

    Yep. Done that before. Should have done again. Did tap it and chop it with an axe but then got under a time crunch and didn't apply as much caution as the stump later confirmed it deserved. It was a pretty safe space apart from the building. Hence relative audacity. Live and learn.

    It's big because I started it, found the wood to be shit and kept going in the hope of finding better wood.
  5. Perfectly normal, medium size tractor. But there’s more. It’s all very well and good looking at those big chippers at shows, where everything is meant to be massive and impressive so it sort of blends in. In the wild, they very much are massive and impressive. It was filling trailers five times the size of that in about five minutes. 124b013e-4e86-4c72-bef0-8974b97555a6.mp4

    Come on @doobin. Let’s have it.

    Haven’t had one this bad for a while. What could I have done better? Smaller gob? Sycamore. Two foot dbh ish. Visibly dead. Even crown weight. Building at 7 o’clock. Pull from 1 o’clock. Stretchy arb rope. Set low middle. Low moderate pretension. Hit the spot at 12 o’clock. But didn’t like how fast it went. But then later thought better to have got it moving away from the building than have it standing teetering dithering on shit wood.

    Clutch spring hack

    Now that looks pretty plausible! Like a car that has an irregular idle (almost like a light hunt) because the acclerator pedal rheostat has worn where it always starts and finishes, at idle.
  10. Some = A tiny, tiny, tiny minority. And you're not even right by being overly semantic. The vast majority of voters cross boxes that keep women disarmed (but do cage them if they do manage to arm themselves). They should have to vote in the presence of rape victims, look them in the eye and tell them they would prefer them to suffer rape than be able to protect themselves. What the fck are you picking an argument about this for?

    Clutch spring hack

    Can you explain what you mean about the trigger unit. I'm too stupid to get a joke if it was that. It does it on 20" too and I make sure to not over rev. I let the chain bite and then apply throttle to that bite. Keeps the revs to probably 75%. If you just let it scream at 100%, the teeth skim and it's more noise for less cut. I'll dig through my phone in due course for a plug photo from a heavy 13" or 20" firewood session. Will have a look at the plug itself too. It was doing some fairly gentle felling with 36" on Saturday and got the proper cool down etc. Still ticked round a tiny bit after bigger cuts and it was really very gentle use compared to the firewood. Felt more like normal creep (although the clutch springs are new remember) rather than when it runs on badly, which feels like a throttle thing. I get what you mean about the 13" confusing the autotune but I'd also expect a top brand's top machine to cope with it.
  12. Since one of today’s topics is self defence, has anyone here ever voted for a politician or political party who are in favour of imprisoning women who carry a pistol to defend themselves and their children from, among other things, sexual or general violence or kidnapping?

  14. Have you been keeping up with the rifle shooting, @Stubby. I was very close to Bisley yesterday but short of time. Would have normally called in for a waft of smoke at the back of Century. Am I old enough to engage in nostalgia?
  15. Don’t know. Didn’t spot that. Does look like it.

    Beer prices?

    Exactly. It's not a local.

    Beer prices?

    It's mental. A man should be able to call into the pub for a couple of pints on the way home without it costing an eighth of his take home that day. People should be in regularly, keeping up with neighbours and local affairs. 16:00 - 19:00. £2 a pint. Lager or bitter. Possibly cider in summer.
  18. It's in account settings, not profile.
  19. He could try doing the same thing he did a few weeks ago.
  20. I bought some excellent over centre ones for a trailer I built nearly twenty years ago. About four quid each. Brilliant things. Up there with my happiest purchases of all time. Come on then Pete. Goss goss goss.
  21. For interest, the Pinto Rig 2 beckett is rated lower than the Pinto Rig's btw.
  22. Dad's Volvo (basically a Ford) has reversing sensors with a beep that particularly annoys me. You can turn it off by pressing a button on the radio when you've slipped it into (reverse) gear but if you then come out of gear and go back in, the beep comes back. Drives me mad.
  23. I'd come back to add that.
