  1. We used to use Midland on the shoot for partridge days , three separate teams of beaters all coming from different directions about a half a mile apart and they worred well.
  2. Yep got it some where . All common sense stuff I seem to recall .
  3. We have one with a big chip box on it . Tips well and holds more than the old trannie . More powerful as it is a turbo . Seems more bouncy in the suspension than a trannie . The mirrors are on very long arms making it very wide it seems . constantly having to pull them in to fit through gaps but other than that its a goodun .
  4. I do what you do, exactly that . I once drove my dads big audi estate from sussex to yorkshire. It has a little screen on trhe dash which lights up with " test brake" and wont go out till you do . I made it stay on for all of the M1 . What drives me bonkers is when following someone and watching thier brake lights come on when there is a slight bend in the road or there is another car comming toward them . Also those idiots that creep along at bang on 30mph in the restricted zone then stamp on the gas as soon as they come out of it and hard on the brakes just before the next one ! What about the person who comes up to an empty round about and stops there untill something comes round just to justify stopping in the first place ? and lastly 2 lanes up to the round about , 1 car in front of you and huge artic to your left . the lorry driver pulls onto the round about but the car in front waits cos they cant see if anything is comming cos the lorry is blocking their view ! do they think some thing is going to penitrate the huge lorry and hit them ? ? sorry rant over .
  5. Did you fell the other tree or climb up and cut it free ?
  6. Could you be having imobiliser problems ?
  7. The x27 has a 36"shaft so that in event of an inacurate swing you don't bury it in your shins !
  8. We have a bungie cord that has got its long service medal . Its held the chipper throttel open , kept the big step ladders on the back of the truc when its full of chip etc etc da de da de da
  9. I bought some cheap bog roll a while back and I had to loose about 40 odd sheets as it milked terribly .
  10. Second that . Leaves to big for f.m. and the cut face is whit like a syc . f.m. is not so white .
  11. Damm ! that means you have to share first prize
  12. Trouser threads ! You makes I larf
  13. Just for this one get a qualified working inspector to do the work and pass the cost on to the customer . You can always do the qualifications if you still want to later .
  14. All that has been said on the last few posts is fin as long as your paypal acc is not linked to a credit card ! if its direct to your bank acc fine .
  15. When have you been with Frank Bruno when he was wearing a skirt ? errr no forget it don't want to know .
  16. Fruit tree pruning , well correct fruit tree pruning is a dark art to which I am only scratching the surface here . I have seen very old apple trees with a wound where a limb has sapped out producing so much fruit that there is a danger of other limbs sapping . In the old wound there was decompositon , soil like , and daffodils growing from it . About chest high . I kinda liked it . I think if they are old you just godda let them do their thing unless they are in the way . Then you take off what you think you can and hope they will carry on . Depends if they are your trees and if you like the apples . Someone else with more knowledge than me will sort you out in a mo .
  17. If your paypal acc is linked to a credit card it can be reversed . They even tell you this . My advice would be to reject the the payment ( although ebay say you are obliged to accept pay pal ) , part of thier company , Cash on collection only or forget it . If he is legit and wants it he will oblige . If he is a scammer then you are not out of pocket . You godda look out for your selve bud .
  18. I noticed that too ! One thing I am not going to do is tell Mike Tyson he has nice tits !
  19. Yep Lock stops .Does it on my Navara . Just grease them . Does not stop it for long but will for a bit .
  20. Yea its a crap Zomax and not worth the asking money IMO but that does not mean it " knock Off " ( I presume you mean stolen ? ) .
  21. Had wet trousers all week . Gloves like concrete after being in the airing cupboard over night . I have some Miendele boots . nearly worn out now but had about 2 years they are superb !
  22. Unless your customer loves mowing 3 times a week DON'T seed it with Italian Rye grass It grows a 100 miles an hour !!
