  1. Assuming there are no sheep in the field.
  2. 30 mins to fully strip and rebuild a saw in the middle of a field with only basic tools? Ambitious
  3. On the bright side I doubt you'll notice that insufferable twat who knows it all better than the trainers. You know, there's usually one on every course.
  4. I wouldn't bother if i were you. There's obviously nothing more for you to learn.
  5. Don't be a smart arse. My point was that bar length is not the only criteria. You've already stated that you'll flout the regs when it makes sense to you.
  6. You misunderstand me. I'm not claiming its a good idea, just stating that bar length is not the only metric you should be looking for. There's no reason within PUWER to not run a short bar on a large powerhead. The manufacturer may give ideal recommendations for bar size but that's all they are.
  7. Why not? The criteria doesn't specify a min/max engine size afaik. Just a bar length.
  8. Would you consider a 550xp with an 18" narrow kerf bar and chain to be less safe than a 500i with a 15" bar and 8 pin sprocket?
  9. I remember when the head of sixth form called my mum in and politely suggested i shouldn't continue my a-levels. I focused my attention on smoking weed and fingering instead.
  10. Are you suggesting people aren't as mouthy in person as they are on the Internet?
  11. Mountain man was funnier though
  12. Based in Rugby, near Cov. No idea what its worth but if you can helicoil the spark plug hole she'll be a good runner.
  13. I've no use for it mate.
  14. Which thread was this? I've got a 361 in the workshop with a stripped plug thread. It'll need either helicoil/timesert or a new cylinder. Other than that it's in decent nick, if anyone is after one?
  15. I thought the first rule was the one about daily nudes?
  16. If it happened where i live i wouldn't have my license long
  17. Drag slags. I'm using that one. The hardworking conscientious reliable type that you're looking for will probably be out earning better than what you're offering for cheap labour.
  18. Pretty certain your Industry best practice stipulates a minimum of Design A for groundwork and Design C for aerial work. Your training center should know this and are in conflict with industry guidelines suggesting otherwise
  19. Luckily my doctors are pretty good so you can fill in an online form explaining your situation. The receptionist called me within 5 minutes asking if i could come in that morning. I couldn't as i was at work so she told me the doctor would call me at some point that day. Very impressive. I was expecting to wait forever and lose a days work. I'll pay it by ear next time. I'm better prepared now anyway. I hate going to a&e
  20. I got stung the other week by one of those small wasps. Back of the neck. Within a minute my face and neck had swollen and i had an itching in my throat. My whole body came out in hives. I've always had fairly bad localised swelling from wasp stings but this was something else. Took a handful of antihistamines and felt rough for the rest of the day. Emailed my Dr who's referred me to get an allergy test and given me a prescription for a pair of epipens.
  21. Probably out off warranty then. I've used JB successfully before. Doesn't look pretty but who cares. If you struggle to get hold of any drop me a message and I'll send some over.
