  1. Google translate makes that: SURGEONS AT THE FOREST IS NOT so that the message I will show Bastard!:lol:
  2. Are you really going to reply to every single theft thread with that reply Ted? I know you're trying to help, it just seems quite annoying to me to rub salt in the wound. Yes it can be helpfull, but only as prevention and for that it is too late.
  3. Sorry people, dissapointing news. "They don't have any in stock" is what I was told, "but have a regular supply, so call again next month and we'll probably have some more in." Quite annoying as I first was told they had about 400. I think these go about as quick as they come in. So I know if I need to pursue this, could anyone that would like some of these let me know, either on this thread or PM me. They'll cost £6 plus vat (but I might be able to discount for high numbers, say 100+). Sorry, thanks, Daniel
  4. I heard it on the radio earlier today, but am truely speachless after reading that 28!!!people have made similar accusations in the past 3 years If I was one of those 52 people I'd want to see police bleeding hard for that, after having finished with the "employers".
  5. Treeworld, please don't take this wrong as it's not meant as criticism on you as a person, but..... Your thread states: "Thoughts welcomed", so people are sharing their thoughts on the matter. Most people seem to think you're needlessly complicating this job ( I agree with them...) and are sharing their thoughts thus. It seems you've made up your mind already though, you've merely come to ask for confirmation? If you reckon there's (unseen, unknown to us?) factors at play that mean other people's suggestion are not as good as you're own then show those in the pics or explain those a bit better. I'm not saying you're wrong, just that with the "evidence" put forward it looks to me like you're hopelessly overcomplicating your life.
  6. Why can't I play it then? I should be ok with emi and buggers, my speakers are broken!
  7. While reliability is important, dealer back-up is just as important. Its all well if you your Kubota breaks down only half as much as that ChinCrap, it's not that relevant when the ChinCrap mech is on site same day and the others leave you waiting and wanting. You need to try and find out about the reputation of whoever is near you, and what back-up service they offer. It may be better to ask some local gardening firms etc who they use and choose your vehicle from whatever they offer.
  8. quite interesting Radar Hurricane tracker website
  9. I think that's great, would work well beside a sofa or in a corner with that shape . Turquoise can look really nice as well, hard to judge from 1 pic....

    The frost makes the berries softer, and relinquish their flavour. If you can't wait, you can pick them and chuck them in the freezer for a couple of days, or prick them all with a toothpick or skewer to pierce them through and release the flavour. I uaually fill the jar two-thirds full of sloe's, then half their weight of sugar and fill to the brim with (as cheap as you can find) Gin. It's also recommended to not leave the berries in for more than 12 months, as they contain cyanide (hmmm, what a lovely almondy aftertaste...) and as the berries slowly get permeated it'll start to soak the pips after about 12 months.
  11. I reckon it's a cheap selling trick, similar to all the crappy 35cc saws you can buy here with 16" or even 18" bars on. Unknowing people buy them as "surely bigger is better?". As for difference in exhaust/power they'll probably have less power from the same saw if anything as their petrol is of a much lower grade.
  12. Even better done that man!
  13. With so many beautifulpossibilities the only outcome was anticlimax:bawling:
  14. Well done that man! But why does it have two spark plugs?
  15. I'm definately in the "teachers need our support and backup" camp on this one, though without wanting to call for more "evidence", I think there's only one of us here that knows the true situation, motivations, history etc. I do donate to charities, about 10% of my income in fact, but I never wear poppies (think them rather tasteless, esp the really big ones on car grills) bracelets, ribbons or ought else. I also never wear any clothes with brand names on unless I get paid for it, but that's a different matter. I had a new headteacher when I was 16 and didn't like him, the dislike was mutual and before the year was over I was "kindly requested to leave and never return". My mum especially (the fierce dragon type) backed me up in my "battle for justice" whenever I thought I'd been treated unfairly. Long story short- I never went back to finish any education, I'd not enjoyed school massively until that point, but not hated it either. Though at the time I was gratefull for my mum's support I believe that if she'd left me to grovel and crawl in the dust for this bastard (he really was, he got fired and the end of the year) I might have stayed at school and got some of them bits of paper that employers seem to like so much.

  17. Hang on to it then 'till that time comes Phil. There's a good chance you'll have many takers for it by early feb. There's also a good chance that there won't but if you can afford to hang on to it, I'd hang on to it.
  18. I thought I "won" second prize? So first prize is a big bar, third price a bar and chain (especially re-designed for "dadio-style" cuts?) and 2nd prize? You tread carefully now, or I'll send Uri over again:lol:
  19. Very interested in this baler. My parents flail and export a fair few hectares of moorland for nutrient depletion and heather regeneration. There's often birches in there that go up to 8" or so, would it cope with those? And how is it with varying crops as it goes heather-coarse grass- rushes - birch scrub etc all in a furlong or so. Another important issue on the peat they're on: how much does it weigh? And the last most important question: What is the market for the bales like? Price/tonne?
  20. This is simply not true. If you sell 100tons at price A, to keep up with inflation all you need to do is sell the same 100tons at 1.05xA. Assuming all other costs associated with that produce have not risen in price more that inflation there is simply no need to grow! I'm happily running my stagnant bussiness, take on some side ventures if the mood takes me. Make sure I have dinner with my whole family everyday, take my girls to school in the morning and squezze a little work in between if I feel like it.
  21. Don't have the details myself. That pic was emailed to me by a friend "you like that log and tree stuff don't you mate" I've asked for actual prices as opposed to the ~ish prices. I put the thread up to see if there would be a market for him to sell these, it seems there may well be?
  22. I think they're about £6 plus vat and delivery, but that'll depend on the amount purchased. I don't own them (yet) but have asked the owner for a price for 50, 100, or 200. They're in Lincs, and I believe they can stack 10 high so it'll be from £60-ish quid per ten for transport, again more will mean less per unit.
  23. There, there.:biggrin: Or: hear, hear?
  24. Hi all, came across these and just wondered if they'd be of interest for anyone on here for log storage. They're 39"x47"x32" or 1.00 x 1.20 x 0.80m.
  25. Here you go, it's called safe T cut. see also this thread There's a video on their website
