  1. as all above, dont do anything stupid! stay safe
  2. my first thought was willow but it could be birch like rob says or even poplar. Its almost impossible to be sure with a chunk like that, there is a lot of possibilities.
  3. haha brilliant! i wonder how far the last one would have gone if it didnt destroy the ramp...
  4. respect due:thumbup1: a lot of peeps would give up for the day after pebble dashing the skants like that, just wipe and continue, i likey:thumbup:
  5. Wow close call! Glad it turned out ok, could have been nasty...
  6. I just bought yale Imori, will let you know how it is when i get a chance to use it.
  7. I hear ya mate! i found the only thing for the midges is a net. Especially in the morning or when its drizzly and still. Glad i stay on the east now but i still go over to the west for some torture regularly
  8. I hope so:thumbup1: Does it need milking? it looks kinda chunky in places and soft but it does feel like a good rope:001_smile:
  9. By the way i got everything from Clark forest and arrived perfectly on time and great service
  10. Woohoo mine just arrived along with a couple other gadgets and my nice shiny new 45m Imori:thumbup:
  11. be a man and take the bites, they are only little things:001_tt2: think yourself lucky its not midges that is your problem, have a bad day with them and they are in your eyes, up your nose, in your ears and in your mouth, and you count the bites in the hundreds not one or 2 here and there! you dont even notice the cleggs when the midges are out in force:sneaky2:
  12. great video well done:thumbup:
  13. best ones i have seen on this thread:thumbup: better than the knob ends i have done in the past anyway:lol:
  14. The second last one is a cracker but why the long face? sorry i just got reminded of the horse in a bar joke:blushing:
  15. Cool stuff:thumbup1: I would love to have been there as well, looked like good scottish weather
  16. How much deeper would the ocean be without sponges?
  17. The browning of the leaves after the storm is more likely wind damage. We had the same thing here after the storms and the beeches showed it the most but now they are mostly all recovered. My guess is that the storms hit in the spring when most new growth is at its most delicate, so the wind badly damaged the new shoots which have been recovering ever since with new dormant bud growth. My guess is your pruning probably sped up the process considerably hence the new leaves the day after. Only a theory but seems logical. Still amazing how they react to things
  18. tee'd off nicely those two
  19. You can sharpen the un-tempered ones, i think there is a symbol of some kind on the blade to say if its tempered or not. I just buy a new blade normally as i dont have the micro file for sharpening it and i have never tried either so would probably make a pigs ear of it.
  20. same here. they are hard wearing and if you are breaking so many that its worrying you then your doing something wrong, either that or you got your throw bags from mickey mouse:001_rolleyes:
  21. wot majestic said but i understand your point it does get a bit confusing if people call them all french prussic, maybe we need latin names for them hehe
  22. so very true
  23. a nail embedded deep in a tree?
  24. haha brilliant:lol: That should get the housewives forum interested as well. Also the mid air lunge should go straight into the lunge thread:thumbup:
