    You’re correct about the pull and hold. Make sure you get one with a clutch. If you stall one without a clutch, you may have trouble restarting it without letting tension off the line. The Eder 1800 looks the best to me.

    I very rarely sharpen outside of the shed anyway.

    Sharpening 1/4 picco is probably going to be the thing that finally pushes me to get a fixed grinder.

    Everyone’s going to say a fire, starting with me. Hire an air burner if you’re feeling posh. Do it when the council aren’t working if you’re feeling realistic.

    You can’t get much more flexible and wide fitting than rigger boots. Cheap to find out if they’re any good. As others have suggested, I suspect insoles will be the big thing.

    A friend sent a cheap ish one (£150 three or four years ago) straight up and it kept going. Based on the battery life and the speed, we reckoned it went up literally thousands of feet and down and sideways on the breeze fvck knows where. Conclusion we came to was the that expensive ones would probably come back to you automatically etc. We never considered whether they’d be clever enough to descend to stiller air if it’s too windy up high though.

    I cut a couple of two foot ish lime rings earlier today with a 120 and used about three-quarters of an AK20 battery on each. Didn’t time cuts. Suspect at least two minutes each. Fabulous little saw.

    From memory, I think glaucescens and dalrympleana are the two cold-hardiest of the fast growers and then there are some small ones even hardier. J will know.

    Well don’t call it a prosecution when it wasn’t one (it was a complaint). That sort of thing makes you sound like a bullshitter. Not a lawyer. Law degree, some other experience. Unenthusiastic amateur.
  10. AHPP
    Not much of a persecution. Definitely not a criminal prosecution. Not even a civil action. Well done for going to any amount of effort to hold the goon accountable though. I asked because I’m interested in your legal chops after that other thread about employment/freelancing/subcontracting. You’re the same as Khriss on here. You’ve clearly been on a course or something and know some things about some law but you lack the (absolutely essential) context of how it all goes together. I detect a sense of justice and would encourage you to learn the system from the ground up. Any book called The English Legal System or similar will give you a good start.

    Interesting. What was the action and how did it go?

    I want to hear everything there is to know about it so if you need to avoid a board game or something over Christmas, I’ll be reading. I suspect eucalyptus is a great crop for real free market use but I also sadly suspect the amount of carbon it puts on (and therefore the amount of taxvictims’ money it can attract) is the driving factor for most people.
  13. AHPP
    Now you are being evasive. Answer the question if you don’t mind.
  14. AHPP
    You’re not necessarily being evasive but you’re not bursting with answers either. Are people primarily growing eucalyptus because it’s a good crop or because it makes good money in subsidy?
  15. AHPP
    Other plots you know of. Is it for real money or WCU etc money?
  16. AHPP
    How much is planted economically and will end up in the firewood market and how much is being planted for subsidy and will end up as biomass (which I suspect also hurts taxvictims)?

    I’m sure Stihl would be delighted to learn the identity of that dealer.
  18. AHPP
    Please do.

    Paddy. The point I've been (increasingly unsubtley) making is that the law is tricky and I don't think that someone who can't spell border is best placed to tell the majority of businessmen here that they're all wrong. I don't doubt you know something but a little knowledge is a dangerous thing and you don't know what you don't know.

    They'll at least be there. They're probably sleeping there.
  21. AHPP
    England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland have different laws. Paddy will explain.

    I've played guitar for about twenty years and always had a bass around but I've only played it seriously for the last year or so. I started a band and, since bass players are the lest reliable people in all of christendom, decided I'd do it myself because I'd at least be turning up. Sort of enjoying it but would happily let someone else do it. I have to sing as well. I've been working with my keys player on her parts so have a cheap keyboard set up here. Quite enjoying it and finding it more intuitive than the guitar for writing melodies, finding keys etc.

    Tom D’s in Scotland, Paddy.

    I use any old shite (will probably buy four nice ones if I get round to gigging). Kirlin and Planet Waves either side of the pedals atm. Also have a GYC that twists like an absolute bastard.

    Jack. Annoying because I usually use a right angle.
