  1. If you have chain oil that is 7 years old then you are a lazy FC ! ?
  2. A friend of mine owns and runs Chichester cattery . He is an ex Chi rugby 1st team player and now takes part in iron man events and triathlons . His wife recently passed away and is sorely missed . She was a physio that helped me from time to time back in my Judo and Squash playing days . But to get to the point I see him out and about training for this and that on a regular basis . You could not meet a nicer bloke . BUT he owns the place and has staff . My cat used to stay there when he was alive .
  3. It won't separate if its mineral oil . ( nothing to separate ) but it will b e subject to ambient temperature . Viscus when cold runny when warm .
  4. Interesting work Andrew .
  5. Nice office Sam . ?
  6. Years ago I was with a bunch of mates and one had an old revolver loaded with " roll your owns " . He was shooting at a target pinned to a straining post . After a couple of shots he got a misfire . He lowered the pistol to inspect the chamber and it went off . They were very low powered home loads but the round still went through the top of his foot and got deflected out of the side . He pull his trainer off and then the sock and the slug was in the sock . I said he needed to go to A+E . I suggested he told them he had put a fork through his foot whist gardening . They dressed the wound no questions asked . He wore the bullet round his neck on a chain for a year or so . The pistol went down an old well .
  7. FMdead . I know , I know ! Its COST . You persuade them , please !
  8. Again . cost . and yes you can " imagine it " but imagination is free .
  9. I hear you but they ( the manufactures ) are in business , to make a profit . If they did what you suggest a , say Husqvarna 562 would cost considerably more to buy and then they might not get the same return .
  10. You can " blue print " any engine from selected production parts but this all adds to the cost and time . Because it is not viable to do this cost wise manufacturing tollanences have to be opened up slightly to allow for random assembly . Hence not everything is nessaserily at its optimum .
  11. The above is the cost bit . I never said it was not possible .
  12. Its to do with manufacturing tolerances against cost .
  13. Don't take notice ( other than as a reference ) any old books that show " flush cutting " and painting wounds ( the norm when I started ) . Its all moved on from there Sam .
  14. Yea , right .

  16. I knew it , I ****************kcing knew it !
  17. Accelerator pump piston has a lot to answer for mate !
  18. Whats with all this Sam stuff ? I have never met the woman ! . I am sure she is a lovely person . Comes across as someone with a good sense of humor and she was a squaddie so there !
  19. Khriss ! Only in jest mate , you know that ?
  20. I know , I know ! At the time it was the best top handle around I willingly admit that .
  21. I hate the " war zone " that flails leave round here . They take away the berries that are winter feed for the wild birds .
  22. Yea . There is a couple missing from that pic for some reason . My T540 and an old but still going strong 242XP .
