Headset comms might be the most important advance in tree work this quarter century but they’re ruining rugby. Slows it right down. The referees are basically inquisitive judges on teams calls.
-
England v Wales much more entertaining than Ireland v Italy already. Having forwards makes a big difference.
-
I bought it new.

Drop the Dead Donkey was great. Still haven't watched the reboot. I make the, "I'm not here." reference every time I'm hovering over someone about to do make a mistake that's theirs to make.

Rough old bit of three strand I’ve been meaning to do for the last decade or so. Not sure why I made the eye so big. Something spoke to me.
-
I need to get into the habit of going to a pub because I'll never find out games are on otherwise.
-
**************** any of these coddled modern fag assertions of negative press btw. Same with guns. "I think you're confusing me with criminals or the drill scene."

Bitches love Baden-Powell.

Thinking about it, I probably would have worked out the depth myself. Like when the driving gear teeth chewed themselves off.
-
Too soon? Too close? Should I wait until 09:00 Monday?
-
Very much obliged. Had worked out the clock. Hadn't spotted the depth requirement. Is the special tool required to get the depth right or can it be pushed in and measured from anything?

Experiments on the lead this morning. Works for about half an hour before Mecho gets fed up of Sailor dragging him here, there and everywhere. Kept Sailor off the hares for nearly the full walk.

Six month update on the pocket pen. Product proved. Entered into permanent rotation.

Briggs petrol ones? Are you leaving them running so you don't have the ordeal of starting them at your destination? @Ty Korrigan Get in there.
-
You know what I'd like to accompany me on this journey btw. A workshop/service manual. Stihl are refusing to give it to me because I'm not a dealer. Discouraging user fixing. Aggrieving, not to mention environmentally unsound.

Progress however. Found the oil pump with the help of an esteemed fellow member. It's at the other end of the black pipe the screwdriver has hooked. You thread a bit of rod (M4 I think) into it and pull it out (no slide hammering required). Cleaned and put back but no oiling still. Could be that I need to prime it. Or just replace it. At least I know where it is now. Arbtalk's dead handy isn't it.

When trying to get a feel for how competent a motor mechanic is, ask them what brand torque wrenches they use. When trying to get a feel for how competent a saw owner is, ask what air compressor they have. Says the guy with the clean saw that doesn't oil.

Screwdriver has hooked the oil pipe that comes out of the tank. Ran it like this and got some oil through the duct the bar holes lines up with. Made me think some kind of air lock problem. Finger is pointing at an oil tank breather I think. Blew air into it. Oil blew out of the tank filler all over the bench.

Nothing desperately obvious. Ideas please.

The bloke you booked to clean the gutters would actually turn up.

Presumably if you fly here and then drive one back, you get hit with some tax or other. What about if you buy a ****************ed one in Ireland and change the plates on the ferry...

A few years ago, a couple of affable young things from the Taxpayers' Alliance stood on a street in London and asked people whether taxes should be higher or lower. At the end of the questions, those who said higher were presented with an ipad that they could type their bank details into to make a donation to the government. Guess how many people actually had to get off all of a sudden.

On a screen?! Enough is enough. I’m blocking you, Pete.

What brand do your children smoke?

Take a metal detector and you'll be able to find the stub.
