  1. How do you retrieve yours Steve? Throwline? Or just let it drop? I've got an old DIY pulleysaver that's looking a bit, err, ropey, because the pulley has taken a few hard whacks. I've just ordered a new pulley and some tenex and am gonna splice myself a new one. Cost about £60 in materials and takes less than an hour.
  2. From what I can see on my phone the grass looks well looked after, maybe that's why? Either that or they'd priced it for a dismantle and the clients just wouldn't bugger off!
  3. If mine is supposed to look like that I'd better get to the wang doctor! Fat stem on that Jay, nice work. How long?
  4. Does your juice not taste of pork and vice versa? I've heard of pork and apple in a casserole but never in a smoothie!
  5. Masticating... Mincer... My immature brain has gone into overload...
  6. Well you can buy your own sodding beer next event then! Cheers Uncle Eggs, He just needs a nap, I'll ask him again after his supper.
  7. Take me that long to decide which shiny bits to put on my harness that day.
  8. Looks like a nice job Did you have to chip and tidy or was it crash and dash?
  9. Where'd you get that from Mark? I need a skin graft every time I change sprockets.
  10. Sod cutting and chucking that lot!!!
  11. Someone will be along soon to say 2 lads half a day.
  12. Me neither, was watching on my phone so wasn't the biggest pic. The guide bar looked a bit big for a 66 unless you're 5'6"
  13. Nice fells. Personally I'd have used a 660 over that 88!
  14. Funny, today was blistering, and the first time I've had trouble with the t540. Wouldn't start from warm. I was rigging out a larch, so lots of quick cuts, with the engine off in between. Almost threw it out of the tree!
  15. Ordered one this morning! I usually take a small one cup flask as a treat but even good coffee tastes crap after a few hours in a flask!
  16. I think that the 3120 has a manual oiler which is apparently handy for milling.
  17. He's already chosen that! He's asking what to buy her for a present. My choice has lots if low down grunt, and a replaceable.., You're supposed to be setting an example!
  18. Be careful mate, I've heard any little prick can ruin them.
  19. I'm indifferent to the bloke. Neither a fan of football or celebs. It does seem though that when a person does well for themselves, there's a queue of people not far behind to put them down.
  20. Prussik? Even cut 1.5 metres off the end and use a blakes? Wouldn't mind seeing a photo of it in action
  21. Ooh, I have 45m of Velocity, when I get the bone I'll give it a try!
