    OK. Yes. That's a shit plan. I better go and cut something with it. Back to you in due course.

    Did the reset and put it away. I'll find out how well it runs the next time I pull it up a tree (hopefully never).

    That's a smashing little piece of history you've made there, Pete. Sod finding a new job. Get onto the internet people about your royalties and have some yacht catalogues sent over.
  5. But would it still be vertical if gripped right at the base (bollard notwithstanding) with grab at ankle level?
  6. Does your grab go down into scorpion mode with that angled headstock? Or does it if you rotate it 180 degrees, i.e. the headstock rotates with the grab?

    ArbDogs? Pics!

    Sailor and Mecho taking the air after a brief trip to pets at home to get weighed and have a piss.

    Oh sod off

    The best bit about this thread is that I've finally identified the very close cartoon likeness to Mick that's been somewhere in the back of my mind for about five years. Ave Mick!

    I once rode a bicycle naked through a speed trap. Cycling Weekly were very snooty about it, presumably because my bike wasn't appointed with at least Ultegra. I also look forward to the Conglomerated Association of Removalmen and Tutstorers denouncing unprofessional dwellinghouse burglaries.

  11. Ever tried Niwaki?
  12. Fairly strong nightmare fuel.
  13. I disturbed some with a leaf blower while on the roof of mum and dad's house earlier this year. Was tied on to the chimney. Had to start thinking along the lines of unclipping so I could jump down onto the patio if needed. Massively unfunny.

    It's the sprung tensioning mechanism. Even has a little internal catch for remounting the bar. All well and good until it breaks.

    I did a few lifty and dead branches and some epicormic with it on first. Lack of vision annoying and you want the top of the bar for the really frizzy bits. You don't want to backbar heavily though. It's rough and it throws the chain if you haven't got the sidecover tight.
  16. Took the plunge. Dead handy.
  17. If there's one thing I've learnt from just watching the first four Terminator films, it's that we need more privately held grenade launchers.
  18. Bizarrely, I actually believe you, that you are a computer from Zanzibar. I'm fairly sure you're not a human in the UK who had finished an ash reduction "earlier in the day" and was then posting on here by 09:37.
  19. Now that's soldiering. Poles in the tree are great.
  20. Are you a human or a computer? What's your name and where do you come from?

    Footage from the successful (if loud) M-Tronic operation this morning. Why can’t car ECUs be that easy?
  22. Indeed. Not oak or douglas fir. First result on google says, "greenheart is one of the stiffest woods in the world." Curious if that's just an advantage in a timber framed house build or whether you need a bit of flex if the structure is meant to flex a bit. Presumably training for cutting them under tension and not standing in the wrong place while doing so? There are some horrible videos of people cutting steel RSJs. They've got loads of stress in them. Twang. Shin in thirty pieces.
  23. Sure it's not just falling out of the pipe(s) with gravity? Because, yeah, that sounds wrong. Unless there are two inputs and an output you haven't found yet?
  24. Novel. Pictures here if you get any of them going in please.
