    How Bad?

    Blends in seamlessly . Job to spot it to be fair !?
  2. You talking about women here ?
  3. Good luck in your new venture bud ! ?
  4. This I admit to your honer .
  5. That Isaac Newton has a lot to answer for ! ?
  6. I felled some sticks for a similar thing a few years back . There was a mountain board track in the South downs that my lad used to use . I went down in a 3 wheel kite trike ( with out the kite ) a few times , great fun . I did the job for free and with no RA or any other paperwork what so ever . I would like this , and a couple of similar jobs taken into consideration M'lud .
  7. Get that 390 off to spud pronto !
  8. This is not quite true . There is no such thing as a 365XP . The Original 365 was around 65cc . Next came the 365 Special which had a 372XP bottom end . Then came the 365Xtorque which is 70.7cc . This can be modded to the same spec as a 372Xtorque by grinding the fins of the inside of the transfer covers . But as said the 572XP is the real comparison to the 462 .

    Is the metering arm in the carb stuck down ?
  11. There are 2 threads on here offering the pros and cons of both Stihls 462 and Husqvarnas 572 . One thing I did read was a comment that the 462 was fragile and was not up to production cutting . Aparently the back handle comes apart redily . The Husky side cover is prone to breaking I read also .
  12. I have kept my shnoz out of it lately as I found it was getting a bit " my Dads bigger than your Dad " but with the "C" bomb thrown in from time to time . I'm all for a ribbing and some banter now and then and a harmless piss take ( I can soak em up too ) but it was becoming un pleasant . I am not a " snow flake " but I was not enjoying it . Just me .
  13. Its had me in stitches to be fair .
  14. Clear as a bell again here lovely and warm . Tep tumbling now !
  15. Anything by Greg Koch . Especially when he picks up a guitar to try out . Amazing talent and slightly eccentric and funny .
  16. A double skinned 2,000 gallon bowser filled with nuclear waste I think Eggs mate .
  17. I passed my car test in 1970 . I think I can tow a space shuttle with a moped .
  18. I lift ( no matter what size the timber ) It puts the lifting force near the outer edge if the trunk . If you push down its somewhere nearer the center giving less leverage .
  19. Warm and sunny from say, 10 am to 3 pm then cool nights just above freezing .
  20. Thanks for your imput . Is your flue in a stack or external. I've read that standard rods can damage the liner. I've got 1.5m Bailey rods but didn't want to damage the new liner. Just seeing what others are doing. I have a stack with a 7.5" clay liner and a 6" ss liner inside that . The rods I use are the type that cant come undone whilst in use not matter which way you twist . There rods are small in diameter to the pro ones the sweep uses and are a bit more flexible so I dont have any problems going past the 2 doglegs . I have various size brush heads and used to put the large one up first followed by the 6" one but I found this unnecessary and only use the 6" now . Hole thing takes about 15-20 mins with removing the vermiculite boards and steel baffle , vacuuming out the soot and replacing the stove parts . Get to the top were the cowl is with a rod to spare .
