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.

I would and the law in Redmond-Bate v DPP and Gündüz v Turkey would.

This is the problem with you commies. You don’t know what Sharon needs. And anyway. Why can’t she have what she wants?

If not already obvious, I am aggressively unfunny about this. You come to work to work. If you want to amble around my site, purposefully oblivious to instructions that either make me money or keep people safe (which preserves my money), you're basically an industrial saboteur and should be buried in a dam foundation.

"Anders. Stop. I am about to give you a work instruction. ... The work instruction is to use all of your senses at all times to sense what is happening on this site. This is to ensure productivity and safety." If they want to listen to Christina Aguilera after that, **************** em. Don't pay em. They'll soon learn.

If people will insist on buying from Wales.

You want people extorted if they want to drive them.

No no. Really fast. You and anyone else who thinks they should be able to tell a man what car he can drive.
