  1. Move the greenhouse and smile and wave at the neighbours.
  2. That’s who I wast thinking about.
  3. Me and my gear have been getting lifts on and off a site in this lovely little thing. Mid engined, rear wheel drive, 16v, turbonutterbastard (sadly no actual turbo). I’ve been wracking my brains for an excuse to get one. A member of the older guard here ran a cracking little Vitara/SJ tool van. Dean Lofthouse had his little electric tipper log wagon. You can’t put 4700kg on them like a Transit though.
  4. Fell it, pallisade fence the garden, inner perimter of pyracantha, small grove of eucalyptus in the middle, rent the house to cannabis growers, go and live somewhere with nicer/no neighbours.
  5. They can all be bad but Hermes are head and shoulders the worst. A friend experienced six months of Kafkaesque hell trying to get her stuff back from them. Great when they work though. I got a 15kg winch overnight from Devon for £16 the other day. You couldn't cycle that far for that money.
  6. Belt dressing. I've used it with some success on flat belts.
  7. You could live near the millionaires in a caravan. Would be a pain to fit all your tools in though. Easier between a few of you.
  8. “Always there will be the intoxication of power, constantly increasing and constantly growing subtler. Always, at every moment, there will be the thrill of victory, the sensation of trampling on an enemy who is helpless. If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face - for ever.”
  9. Is there some scout thing traditionally made from it?
  10. He’s Polish. What more qualification does he need?
  11. I've got a reliable Stihl 250 with an 18" bar for sale. Excellent power:weight ratio. £200. Private message me if interested.
  12. Which Eder have you got and what diameter rope do you use?
  13. Wonky to the rescue again. Thanks very much.
  14. It’s probably still 18p/1000.
  15. Can't help with fixing your 039 but I can sell you (or anyone) a working one. Enquiries and solicitations by private message.
  16. How hard do you have to push the pin in to get into the extra oiling range? I'm pressing nearly hard enough to push a cork into a wine bottle and it's not moving. Not inclined to shock it with a punch in case I break something.
  17. What ropes are people using with capstans: Simpson, PCW, Eder, Docma etc? Manufacturers are recommending 10mm or 12mm. I want to use at least 12mm, preferably 14mm (16mm seems too tight a fit on my Simpson). As long as enough wraps for enough friction fit on the drum, I can't see the downside. And does braid-on-core kernmantle act very differently to double braid on these small drums?
  18. The majority of people in the UK are thick as mince. If the government told the population they’re free to turn themselves in to an abattoir on July 4th, there’d be queues.
  19. So still .325? I can remember the Oregon narrow driver or kerf advertised on here by Rob D a while ago.
