  1. Some advantages to it. Trimmers and pole saw, engine not at face height blasting fumes and noise straight at you! Soon as you off the throttle it's quiet. Saw by the chipper isn't sat on tick over just to cut the odd fork. Sure there are disadvantages but you pays your money you takes your choice I don't 100% believe Battery powered saws and cars are going to save the planet.
  2. I got there kids, 8,6 and 2. Would be helpful if they could come out and give me a hand when they are older. The 6 year old is mad keen for it! I took the track chipper out to site and we had to get down a nadgery steepish footpath. "Dad let me know if you need to use the winch to get back out!" Anyhow I like some others work a bit on my own, less so climbing on my own, tis hard work but it is all your own.

  4. Kids eh, eldest had found an old mobile phone and had it in his room playing games. 4:30 alarm going off on it wakes him up so he comes and wakes me up! I was rather abrupt as he knows he shouldn't have such things, Mrs then has a go at me so downstairs to get a cup of tea for me. Washing machine on, log on the fire and cup of tea in hand.
  5. Well I think I can agree that the problem wasn't the gun but the person behind it rattling off the shots. Why cant we all just live in peace and harmony ☮️ I feel comfortable with gun laws in the UK but as mentioned it's the law abiding citizens that follow the rules. The drug dealers and nutters don't follow the rules and have the weapons, that why I have switched from crack to paracetamol as the Mavis at Morrisons is less likely to be tooled up.
  6. Does the hopper come off so I can fit it through a 4 foot gate?
  7. I understand you probably you may not want the down time but if you strip one side out the bearings will have the numbers on them and typically would be cheaper away from main dealers as spud has mentioned
  8. Well internal routing was bad but now with a lot of bikes the cables go through the headset before diving off into the frame. Looks super cool but a major head ache. You can have hydraulic hoses being either rubbed through themselves or rubbing their way through carbon and it's all out of sight. My friend showed me his Scott road bike, not a cable or hose in sight, if you need to adjust anything you done have enough slack in the hoses so you have to cut them and replace them. He is a bike mechanic and basically said any job of that nature is £300 before you even get to what actually needs doing! I got one bike with externally routes cables and hoses, what a dream that is!
  9. Well it's simple, if they have a gun your done for at a host of distances, if they have a knife being 10 feet away is a safe distance.
  10. Wordle 1,642 6/6 ⬛🟨🟨⬛⬛ ⬛🟩🟩⬛⬛ ⬛🟩🟩⬛⬛ ⬛🟩🟩⬛⬛ 🟩🟩🟩⬛🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Took me too many tries to get that one!
  11. According to a but of googling you are 40 times more likely to be shot in the US compared to the UK
  12. I will go back to what I said previously. You are less likely to be shot here than the US. And I would hazard a guess that it's because so many people have guns in the US.
  13. Well we haven't had any mass shootings since. I do agree about law abiding citizens obviously handing them in.
  14. Because BBC and other outlets are giving them the platform!
  15. Appologies 🙄
  16. I think you have Steve, just the way it's spelled "in music and film) move without interruption from one piece of music or scene to another." I didn't know what it was either until I looked it up and realised I was missing pronouncing what I was reading. Appologies all for the clue. Will go and sit in the corner with my dunce hat on.
  17. Wet conifers 🙄😢
  18. Is it Friday yet? Managed to dry all my kit from yesterday so hoping for a dry one today.
  19. Well he is not wrong, if there wasn't any guns than nobody would have been shot!

  21. I don't know about any affairs abroad and I wouldn't say I am the go to person about current affairs in the UK. But do Jews in the UK carry guns? Or what country are they given special privileges to do so or are you suggesting that they should be discriminated against.
  22. I stopped listening to the BBC because imo they were probably Israel, and they seemed to be giving farage a massive platform and the greens didn't get a look despite having the same number of seats.
  23. Absolutely gopping all day here. Yellow warning for rain, probably not as bad as forecast on the day. Really slowed my tricky job, could have done with a second coat, or maybe a third!
  24. I feel comfortable with the gun laws in the UK. I don't think people should be carrying guns for self protection no matter what God they want to worship.
  25. @Mark Bolam how was the coat today. I got bloody soaked, farm bib and brace dont breath so I can't tell if it was sweat or rain, but trousers a little on the damp. Bit of climbing today so wet up to the elbows. It was wringing out of the rope on the descents, Like a dingy on the channel it was not welcome.
