  1. Invasive species. Need a special licence.
  2. Nobody has said. I know you needed a licence to catch them. Said to be as difficult to find as rocking horse flop. Then if a fisherman landed one they had to kill it or face the chance a ministry fine if found out. It seemed a waste. They were so prolific and looked like langoustines you'd have thought they could have been managed and harvested to a respectable level.
  3. Without sounding hateful. I hope you killed it. Have a load of them in the Mole down the road. You've doubled up on the voracious killers. What's next? Red Kite's :-)
  4. You are a lucky man. Lovely bit of video. Thanks Mrs saw one earlier in the year. I never seem to be fast enough to catch anything on camera.
  5. Are not worried about the shrinkage now? I had a lump...still do. Kept it inside a black rubble sack. Out of the sun and allowing it to dry so slowly so It could make a bowl like that. That's what I was told at the time. It was 10 years ago. I'll get a pic later it's in the back of the garage where monsters and old Landy bits lurk.
  6. Reading this with the bitter sweet memories when I had one of those Llizrov cages on my R leg Knee to Ankle after smashing Tib ad Fib in multiple places. Don't miss it or the endless cleaning the pin sites. Then AB's when it didn't go well. They are brilliant and gave me back a useable leg. All best wishes for your onward and upward travels. Keep on the up, you'll get there. Best wishes.
  7. Just saw your comment about Otters/Mink. Had our first potential Mink spotting early in the year. Appeared to be more interested in the area where there were Moorhen / Duck eggs or chicks.
  8. I'd say no. There are two or three lakes round by me that have been de-silted in the last 5 years. All had plenty of shell debris in the silt.
  9. I took that to be some "Americanism". I think I just pressed it home. I was a fiddly job with that retaining screw thing. I might have lubed the O-ring with a light oil. Nothing more. That and the M-tronic reset and it was changed saw.
  10. Pretty sure others will make better comment but have you done the reset? Then on mine I changed the fuel solenoid for the updated (white?) version.
  11. Yep. Couldn't see myself using a 7ft bar. 2 of them went for a steal.
  12. I thought I might have been bidding against you (or someone on here). Managed to get a 5ft GB Milling bar for the 881. Small win.
  13. BN6A-0X25T-A Sugihara Tough Carver Dime Tip 10"[25cm] WWW.CHAINSAWBARS.CO.UK [MUTLI1] BN6A-0X25T-A Sugihara Tough Carver Dime Chainsaw Bar Tip 10"[25cm] 1/4 pitch .050 fits 60 drive links.
  14. Have a look at @Rob D Chainsawbars.co.uk He did supply a kit where you could replace the drive drum with a 1/4" drive Mine came with a 10" and 12" sugihara bars and chains. The 10" had a "dime" tip and is perfect for cutting out holes in chestnut posts. It wasn't cheap but it transformed my 1999 - 023 into a very, very useable tool.
  15. This...direct via website is no cheaper but different grades are available. Rye oil are good but these chaps deliver (to me) within 2 days when ordered Mon- Sat Works out around £10 a gallon and ticks and flings just as good as the Stihl oil I used to use.
  16. Sorry to interrupt, I'm not sure that is all true. I was told of a number of reasons for Orange. 1 it wasn't a naturally produced colour. Or as much as the yellow in daff's and daisy's, gorse whatever. 2 it didn't disappear as readily under sodium street lighting. This was the biggie. 3 to set it apart from road workers...who did use yellow back in the day. Police H-Vi being one. 4 lastly the scotchlite strips on "yellow" hi vi were similar to some of the old telegraph signalling. Rail HiVi scotchlite is/was in a different setup to not be confused with signalling. double bands round arms legs. Also I believe insects see in a different spectrum, so our "yellow" is their shocking pink or whatever. Sorry do de-rail. No pun intended
  17. Nope. No pics. Just happy memories of travelling into London on Bus/Tube to see Motorhead in Hammersmith in 81 at 15. Glorious. Link to tinitus thread!
  18. @Vigen Tigen Can't offer much guidance on sections. I've listed in the Timber -construction materials and also diy - / crafts wood. I'd have a look at what is being advertised of a similar style and go from there. using Unless you are very lucky I think you'll have a bit of a wait. I did have stuff go quickly but think it was because I was almost giving the stuff away.. It's a "how long is a piece of string" thing. IF you have someone who knows what they want and what is a good / respectful price, you are made. I've had this.....and I've had the mushrooms that want to "build" magnificent furniture from what I have clearly stated is freshly milled ( and therefore cheap) wood, that requires drying and further work. I feel that I could almost write a book on the experience. I'm sure some of the other chaps will be along to offer their advice too. As before, all the best of British Luck to you.
  19. I have sold a few boards....not as many as you have. Ebay - can take a while. Plenty of idiots asking questions with no real desire to purchase. Difficult to place in the correct section unless you pay more for multiple inserts. Gumtree - Same except no fees and limited audience. Timber Market TIMBERMARKET.CO.UK Tried these but not a lot of takeup yet. Don't do facebook and so no comment. Comes back to ebay. It's a nuisance and yet a global go-to for stuff. Just need to put it in the right section. Get your title right so you get maximum exposure on any search, good pictures and an accurate description and wait... Best of luck.
  20. Certainly had elements of Mixy rabbit. I suppose the only good news would be that if it did have it, it won't be dragging itself back into a warren and killing the whole lot. Sadly, in a week or so you might find it flat in it's scrape.
  21. I have similar in a large Oak tree near me. Although there is a local squirrel population, I put it down to the dry weather and the gusty conditions lately.
  22. Good mates and family are the best tonic. Keep on the up.
  23. Does the 460 have a separate pot? As my earlier question. 26x 46x all even numbers. so even = Pro?
  24. My 230 is fine, when I had a few issues a few years ago (2000 model) the chap in the workshop winced when I said how much I was using it. He said prosaw and 261 was the way. In truth they are similar except the 261 has mag/alloy cases and feels more robust. Hence my question....without getting my mitts on the model, how do I tell? The engine construction is different. 261 has a separate pot like a 661 Can I assume Pro saws have this? I wondered if there was an easy way... 23x 25x 27x prosumer 24x 26x pro? Odds not pro Evens Pro? Sorry If I'm asking a silly question.
  25. Help please, I have a 261 and also 230 and see the difference in the 261 Mag/alloy crankcases. I'm looking to add another saw to the collection midway between 261 and 661. Probably second hand. What model range am I looking out for? 361, 441. 392 460/1 I'm getting confused.
