    poor pay

    Nomadic Loppers !!!! :lol:
  2. Often overlooked attribute of trees , they keep whole towns cooler in summer , hockenhiem in Germany for instance
  3. Old bedouin trick that , cools the head by convection . ( I've possibly just made that up though ) Some important advice in this thread though ... i was quite distressed one hard day years ago on a sweltering day which took me by surprise because i was mega fit . Had to go to the freezer section of a supermarket to cool myself down quickly which i'm sure was a timely act . Good to get the keks off aswell at breaktimes .
  4. Would like to add that it wasnt the said implement here that they were using to hook on to the ship , the photo was just an example of its theoretical functionality .
  5. I agree with Spud . I can remember fields covered with hundreds of lapwings and their really apparent demise . This was clearly happening when buzzards were relatively rare and i can never remember there being any great quantities of grey partridge either . It has already been proved bird of prey clutch size is related to available food source so i think it is a complete waste of money .
  6. Thats been posted before . Al Baker knew what it was for . He even sent a pic of them using it to hook on to a big ship from a small vessel.
  7. £40 + postage ? they do seem quite big for mediums ( probably why i dont wear them ) but they are there if you want
  8. I have a pair in a medium , in new condition . Not what you asked for but ...
  9. I would do both sides at the same time but thats just me . It will come good if it is a happy hedge
  10. It looks well engineered for the price but no way would i replace my trangia for that
  11. Will do Paul . I'll check that out
  12. Its amazing , but if i have to be brutally honest the head is wrong for a springer . The last photo may be not doing it justice right enough .
  13. No , you will end up with a much nicer hedge which can be properly maintained and much easier to future management PS . cut with sharp loppers ( sorry not meant to sound derrogatory )
  14. Yeh , but it could take 20 mins to get it started ! I've seen bigger versions of this and it was a headache to get it started . I can only imagine a much smaller one would be a migraine to start efficiently
  15. I'm not convinced by this at all . To get a good heat from a stove and especially to initially light it the dimensions would have to be bigger imo . Packaged size is only 8 inch by 5 . That would be fine for a petrol stove or meths one but i dont think would be suitable for biomass although i may well be wrong . There are similar ones which are a good deal bigger ( which also power fans ) that i think would be better for cold environments
  16. Yeh replace it with a nice conforming little sorbus . Woohoo !!
  17. With spelling like that he should be on Arbtalk Only kidding
  18. Yyyyyeeeeeessssss !!!!

  19. 1 hours hockey training , totally bushwhacked ... love it Did i mention the two Duvels i've softened
  20. Thats remarkable ... thanks for the post Sloth
  21. Come on ye Chelsea !! Hope they do it mate ...

    Good luck , Graham

  22. Good on ya Matt for sending that guy packing !!
