  1. I've thought that, but then again, it might be that you or I are impossible to tolerate sober.
  2. That one you've linked looks like it would be horrendous.
  3. I've always used the spigen screen protectors from again. They're the only ones I've found that actually work with your thumb print
  4. Charging for oil and grease it taking the piss. I know it's not the expensive bit but still. Why is the end user being charged for the maintenance of the machine that should be factored into the hire price Re: the e-stop I'd be asking for proof of the cost of parts and the time to replace. Seems excessive.
  5. Absolutely gutted. His poor family.
  6. Pathia. Slightly hot, lemony sour. It's my go to for a takeaway. Give it a go. It's Olivia Tiedmann you're referencing, I think. Generally good content but she's relying on being edgy by giving the camera the middle finger. Pretty unimaginative when she could market the fact that she's a lady jew who eats pussy.
  7. That's my line!
  8. @Mark Bolam has again got the nail on the head. Short of employing private military contractors, they can get to your kit if they really want. The key is discretion and making your kit significant harder to nick than the next guy. Multiple layers of security will always be better than a single expensive one.
  9. He's got both by the way. The turkey teeth were paid for within a fortnight with my help.
  10. @Mark Bolam knows. Heinous feet or a blown out rectum? I can help you capitalise.
  11. I come home more tired from training than I do from climbing 🤣
  12. Those who can't do...
  13. Just buy the Oregon or stihl can, with the Stihl spouts. Throw the husky one in the bin.
  14. Similar to Dan, I've had an oregon can with stihl spouts. Don't need the spanner holders that fall out when you fill your saw. Bloody thing must be a decade old, replaced the fuel filler once.
  15. Glad it'll be getting some use. Thank you for your (almost) unwavering patience! At least the forum now has definitive proof that you're not an AI bot 🙄
  16. I've got one with a threaded spark plug. Would need either helicoiling or a new cylinder depending on who you use.
  17. My theory is that grease attracts and holds dirt, which causes bar nose failure.
  18. Basically it can't comply to the European Normative Standard that splices are tested in accordance with. It might be a different story in other parts of the world. I'm not saying it's unsafe to climb on, it's just difficult to prove that it IS safe. Reach out to the supplier and ask if their splicer has been trained by Courant.
  19. It was Excel Parking, or Vehicle Control Solutions (same firm). I haven't got the stamina for another round of that. I've had a few cancelled since by complaining to pub landlords.
  20. I bought a few grease nipples a few years ago to replace the torx bolts for my trimmers. Still haven't fitted them. Still haven't greased them.
  21. I'm not usually one to pass up an obvious innuendo but I'm about 2 pints away from comedy gold. I'll be patient.
  22. Saved a fortune in grease when you look at it like that
  23. Begs the question, does it really need greasing? I personally don't bother. I think I've had one failed roller bearing in 15 years
  24. Too busy publishing rage bait articles about the worst people in the industry. Small businesses and the self employed.
  25. Always used a length of starter cord. Works a treat
