A thread for those who like to be organised and have useful things about their person, day to day. I’ve been looking for a pen for ages that won’t stain or wear out my pockets and doesn’t break in five minutes. Cheap ones I won’t cry about if I lose as opposed to smart brass ones etc. I think I’ve found it. Designed for noting insider trading tips you overhear on the fifth tee but golf shops will sell them to anyone. Lids are firm, corners are round, tips are fine. A lovely little victory.

I don’t know what you’re all whingeing about. The sun is beating down on the north east of England. Apart from five minutes before this photo where the dog was swimming along a footpath of course.

Wishing to pick yer brains re a "new-to-me" tractor.
AHPP replied to difflock's topic in Large equipment
I thought this was your thread for a moment. Was about to comment, "Oh aye Andrew. Another tractor's what you need..." -
Not Devon obviously.

While you're here, Stubby, I don't believe you've received any recognition for your longevity recently.

You mentioned Leupold so I'll mention it btw. For the love of god don't buy something with a mil ret and minute knobs. Leupold persisted with this utter crassness for years. Factory-fresh scrap sold for strong mid-range money. Nightforce another fairly bad offender.

I'm borrowing a Vector red dot from a mate at the moment and am not impressed. Absolute lottery adjustments. Certainly doesn't inspire confidence in a dially scope. I buy Vortex for cheaper stuff because of the warranty. Had a dially one on my dially .22 for years now and very happy with it. Brand agnostic for higher end scopes but always start with Schmidt and rarely need to look further. What are you wanting it for and do you have a budget?

Good dadwork btw.

Wedge your phone on the dash for a map, plug in some headphones for spotify and open the window for the breeze, you bourgeois pig.

Leylandii hedge close to house - to remove or not to remove?
AHPP replied to cambadvice's question in Homeowners Tree Advice Forum
I first worked out that tree blokes are fannies when working for a developer at his country pile in Bedfordshire. I was doing a load of pruning from a cherry picker, full of thoughtfulness and botanical sympathy. He asked me about a conifer hedge and I pissled on about chippers fed by diggers with rotating grabs, loaders to anoint his flowerbeds with mulch and a stumpgrinder to blank his canvas beautifully. "Wouldn't it be easier to just f4ck them out with a JCB and bonfire them?" Now you mention it, yes. -
Abuse of statutory consumer rights aside, all this disposable shit does is waste your money and condemn some black kid off an Oxfam advert to wade around a nickel mine for another season.

Doddle. My arms are like pipe cleaners. Worth throwlining above it or just grit your teeth, clench your back and and flip?

Bliss. Give me one of those every day.

Aye. It sounds like he has the time and inclination for that…
-
What is your work? I'm sure you've mentioned something about it before but only that it isn't arb.

Get the dog you want, attend to it how you want and the world either falls in line with you or gets ignored.

Does your wife carry a taser when out with you, Svat? Not for her protection but to drag you away from an argument you’ve started with someone standing in a bus queue.

Gotcha. Sailor also currently being affectionate: Yes. I do have arbtalk’s worst carpet.
-
Joking aside, Sailor usually gets tied up near the gear. On piddly work he might roam round if site suitable. On some stuff he actually helps. I can direct him to rip roots out etc. If left unattended, he’ll rip everything out. Shitting is inconvenient.

Right hand drive?

There’s an arb dogs thread on here btw.
-
I’ve pretty much stopped going to work. Prefer hanging round with my dog.
