  1. I'm gonna gift wrap your dog and drop it off to the local takeaway
  2. I could understand irritation from either party, it's not ideal, but if it was my car broken down I'd be annoyed if my boss treated it like an excuse. If you have a great attendance record, good work ethic and are a loyal company employee, it would be extremely galling to me if I couldn't make it in for a genuine reason and was treated as lazy or unreliable. People get ill, cars break down, etc. it sometimes is unavoidable. FWIW I've been off ill 4 days in the last 3 years. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  3. My cats spent the last half hour licking it's bum. It's far too busy to be killing tweety pie. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  4. One of our lads did it with a 181... You should be alright Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  5. Humans can exist inside, live a vegan lifestyle, and wear hemp underwear. Not very appealing though is it? Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  6. Don't be upset when you get what your asking for with that attitude. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  7. How might one do this? Keep it indoors 24/7? Put 'em down each time the catch something? It's a shame but the cat is just doing what is natural to it. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  8. Very nice work mate. Solid rigging. Was that a 14 or 16 on the 201t? How did it cope in the Beech? Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

    Two a week? If it weren't for your recent twins I'd say that was a sexless marriage to blame! Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

    If you enjoyed Larsson, check out Jo Nesbo's Harry Hole Series. Gritty crime thriller. Ian Rankin's Knots and Crosses is good. David Baldacci's The Camel Club is also great. Sorry for the overload, I can't remember the last time anyone asked me for a good book to read! Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  12. Go get 'em tiger! Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  13. Sorry for telling teacher ! Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  14. There's another in the Today's Job thread, saw it and thought of you. Very neat though. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  15. Finished a filthy willow tree today, I spent a day climbing it, and another day in a Mewp. Shouldn't have climbed it really... Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  16. So your saying that leaving fuel pipes empty will not cause them to crack? I was under the impression that the ethanol in pump fuel dries out the soft rubber, once exposed to air, not much of an issue with fresh fuel moving regularly through the pipes, but once they are drained and left? I know Aspen solves all of these problems, but the Op is using petrol. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  17. That is one heavy duty throw line/weight! Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  18. I could be wrong but I think if you've ran the saw dry then the fuel lines could go brittle without petrol in them. I'd do as has been said: fill the see, run it to get fuel back in the pipes, then store it. Just get rid of the fuel when you come to start it again. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  19. Wash your kit as soon as you get home. Once the sap dries that's pretty much it. I put an old bike inner tube over my flip line to protect it on the last sappy takedown. Cambium savers help too but won't stop 100% I hear mechanical friction devices like the Spiderjack are less affected by sap. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  20. Leg or breast? I'm not offering Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  21. There you go, learnt something new today! Thanks Huck! Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  22. I usually let the saw idle for a while before switching it off I'm gonna get a 15" bar and 8 pin for it, should be a giggle I'm saving up for a 372 for you to have a play with in the future! Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  23. How might one do it correctly, pray tell? Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  24. Been using my 357 this last week. It's absolutely mental! Is it normal for the cylinder fins to become spit sizzling hot? It conked out a couple of times after some hard work, and didn't want to start, pullover feels smooth and compression is still good, and plug colour is biscuit brown. I'll get a new plug for it and see Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  25. For what it's worth mate, your posts are inspiring, as is your enthusiasm. This thread keeps me grinning. Thanks for that Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
