    Nice! I think there are four in the pot outside the catflap.

    Because the bloke asked and he knows I can't see it so will rely on my advice only to a certain extent. I can rewrite my post hedging my bets in every conceivable way but the buck will still stop with him.

    That's fine. Anchor and/or rigging in neighbouring tree if you can (why wouldn't you anyway) but no disaster if you can't. Looks like a twat of a place to site a MEWP.

    Buy monstrously expensive alkylate premix and slop half of it over the side of the saw. What else. They make more sense in the woods or with pump and mix fuel anywhere.

    kram's not wrong wrong btw. Combicans aren't the be all and end all. I don't use one. I don't like the bourgeois character of the nozzles and if I only need a battery saw, I only need chain oil. I'd like to say I could leave the oil in the van too and just use some belonging to whoever I'm climbing for but a depressingly large amount of the time, I'm the only adult present who brought any chain oil to a tree surgery job.

    Out of interest, does anyone know the tolerance on petrol pump readouts? There are rules on food packaging weights etc. Must be same for fuel. Related: I had a temp job at a heating oil delivery depot. I can't remember if I was told this in relation to the main kero products or bunkering derv but it was widely acknowledged that you wanted to buy fuel in the morning when it was cold and at its lowest volume per mole.

    That took more googling than it should have btw. The internet's initial assessment was that you think I'm a junkie.
  8. AHPP
    Can't believe I've never come across that before. Yes.

    I think I've done it with my Hyundai but I can't remember how well it worked. I can't remember anything.

    Victimhood bollocks-talk. British shooters are dreadful for it. It's like middle Englanders quoting Daily Express articles that say snooker tournaments can't have a white cue ball because it's racist, and everyone throws their hands in the air as if they have to comply (with something that may or may not have even happened) or they'll be struck by lightning. It's competitively submissive. I hate it. Who exactly told who exactly what exactly?

    Oil first for poka-yoke too. If you put petrol in first and then get distracted, you'll have neat petrol and kill your saws. If you put oil in first and then get distracted, you'll just have some oil in the bottom of a big can. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poka-yoke

    Is that just a wheelie bin or have you rigged up some kind of funnel?
  13. AHPP
    Had one. Shot zero arabs with it. Guns don't kill people, rabbis do.
  14. AHPP
    Yes. Stop hiding behind details. That bloke over there kicked those children to death. Which foot did he do it with? **************** off.

    I'm (as part of my unabomber arc) becoming a luddite. A friend asked me the other day when I thought technology should have stopped. She reckoned the age of the Nokia 3310. I said go back further, at least before machine guns. Now I love guns (and I wouldn't dream of telling anyone they can't have any) but it's mainly large criminal organisations like nation states using machine guns so I might be quietly pleased if they didn't exist. You wouldn't miss what you didn't know. Might be. Not fully sure what I think about it yet.

    It starts slow and a bit luvvie but stick with it. There are a few eye opening bits. Plus it's just hilarious.
  17. AHPP
    Pay your staff well.

    Not this time. It broke down into dog numbers quite nicely and they need the meat more than I do. Might have done if the Rayburn was going.
  19. AHPP
    Aye. Thanks, both. Had to look up whether beech have the rays because I was pretty sure it wasn't oak or sweet chestnut. What else has them? Come to think of it, what are they?
  20. AHPP
    A bloke better come and install it in the tree for you for that.
  21. AHPP
    How much!?
  22. AHPP
    He's barely been down, the annoyingly positive mindsetter. Makes you sick.
  23. AHPP
    I'm not paying for the ammo. Just turn the dole off and put the phone down the second you hear an accent. They'll soon sod off. There's no other reason to want a brown caliphate stuck out in the East Atlantic.
  24. AHPP
    He's alright. Walking etc. Got off lightly. Could have been spacked. In good spirits. Concentrating on rehab. Probably be back once the embarrassment wears off a bit more.

    Dry Wet Wet I’m seeing very prominent medullary rays. Just done a muntjac on it. Four meals for two dogs. Sailor had the head for breakfast. Ran up to the gate to bark at someone with it in his mouth, his tongue hanging out one side, muntjac tongue the other. Artful PR.
