Wondering whats happened to keepering round here

Someone has released 1000's of poults last week...

Wandering all over the valley .......

Has he never heard of a release pen?

Wonder how many will be around by October ?

Might be guy doing about 60mph in new lwb land rover up a single track road couple of days ago - scared me silly, and god help anyone who meets him

 

Last get rich quick shoot put 1000's of poults down and did a runner without paying for them ...i think they owed £40,000

I gave them permission to dog in as I didn't want his pheasants everywhere

My wife went out and found them driving the birds across my land with paying guns on my neighbours ( he's an anti) with beaters climbing my fences

They told my wife I'd given permission to hold a drive ( I didn't)

They told my neighbour I'd said it was ok to hold a drive On his land ( how could I ?)

They also left dead /wounded birds EVERYWHERE Luckily he believed me

They opened up gate from forestry onto my land, and there were land rover tracks around my fields.......

UPSUM. Absolute pillochs

Stihl br400! ! A back pack blower!!

Bloody auto text lol

Left it with the lads on a job and it was working perfect but one of them thought it needed more power so messed about with the carb screws......anyway he gave up when it got to the point of it ticks over fine but when you rev it, it cuts out.... not happy as now I can't get it to rev no matter which way and how much I turn the god dam screws.....

It fires up and ticks over but won't rev up and i really need it in action!!

Can anyone help???

Thanks in advance......

Anyone use these smaller 800kg winches??? I brought one few months back but never had chance to test it till today and really happy with it ripped out conifer hedge with it and it didnt skip a beat, plus not as heavy as the bigger tu16 my mate has so all good

Anyone really tested theres to see what there capable off???

wonder how much they would fetch on ebay........

a mate of mine rang me up the other day and said "im doing a garage clearance i found some of them things you put on you feet to climb trees"...... i knew he meant spikes lol so said bring them round and ill have a look!!!!

well they werent what i expected.......

pretty sure they wouldnt of been used for tree surgery......id put money on them being made by someone into illegal nesting.........

Just think what they could have spent the wasted £330k on.....Perhaps caring properly for some of the animals in their care!! If you are into hunting, shooting or fishing and give them donations, you must be mad! They have lost their way and are out to see the end of all field sports and fishing.

 

RSPCA criticised by judge for wasting 'valuable' court time by calling off Hunting Act prosecution at 11th hour - Telegraph

im in to hunting mate and the only people as worse than anti hunters are tree huggers who im sure we have all had dealings with on here!!!

some kids came into my garden whilst i was out years back & let my dogs out in the process. Got strait onto the warden and found out they'd been taken to the RSPCA in Preston. When i went to check they were mine the younger of the two was uncharacteristically distressed, they both stank of Piss they had only been there 6 hours.

 

they insisted i pay £180 to take MY dogs home, i gave them my card, they said no cards on Sundays go to a cash point, i'd already taken out £250 that morning to buy some second hand car parts so said i was happy to leave my card with them & come back & pay tomorrow. they said no way and that i would have to come back tomorrow & pay extra for them being there overnight! my dogs were literally dragged out of the room, whining & barking their claws out trying desperately to get some grip on the smooth floor when one got her claw into the door frame they pulled her off making her paw bleed.

 

I was fuming, it was probably a good thing that the handler was a woman else i might have lost it physically and got my self into some real trouble. I spoke to the manager, explained that i was more than happy to pay, that i was concerned with the way they were being treated that they would not be getting their 2-3 hours of exercise per day and that they stank of urine. she callously told me i should have made my garden more secure and said if i did not leave she would call the police.

 

I walked around the back to see if i could see my dogs through the security fence. The row i found them on was very exposed, the wind howls up a hallow valley and buffets this line of runs, almost all the dogs were curled or stood at the kennel end of the enclosures from which they were all locked out. the drainage for these runs sloped from the exposed mesh end to the sheltered kennel end, in short their piss was running from where they peed to the end with some shelter from the buffeting wind.

 

If you kept dogs like that they'd have them off you! only to put them in the same or even worse conditions!! Discusting

FFS!!!! THAT SUMS THEM UP NICELY MATE :thumbdown: what a bunch of hypocrites the really are, stressing a dog out while its owners are there for more money!!! you handled that situation alot better then me mate.....total scum bags.....

cheers for the replies lads.......steve fair play if you dont wont the images on here mate but the fact you removed them only shows how disturbing they are!!! i can guarantee you all this story is 100% true and has caused uproar on the forum i got it off and facebook, twitter etc etc..........if you want to help animals, support your local, privately ran kennels or wildlife rescue centre......DONT have nothing to with these people!! they are scum.......

the RSPCA took the dog in this top picture off a hunting lad pending an investigation, it died in their care. The bottom picture is how it was returned to him after his solicitor requested the body back so it could be examined by his vet.. People really need to see past the front they show to the public. They are no more than a political group abusing their status as an animal rescue organisation to enforce their own political views..

full story here......

"The warrant supposedly stated encouraging a dog to fight with a wild animal, they did not show me or leave a copy they took 9 dogs. On the Monday I had a call from the solicitor saying they had called him stating a dog had died the day before IE Sunday. My vet went out and examined the rest of the dogs and was informed the dog had died Monday the RSPCA has never contacted me informing me that one of my sons dog was dead.

I asked Clive to find out what had happened? I get a copy of a message he got, that 3 German Shepard's had attacked and killed the dog, the dog was 8 week pregnant at the time. They informed my vet that the body had been sent to Essex for an examination, so I got Clive to request that my vet also had chance to examine the body to make sure it was my sons dog and that there was nothing amiss. They told the vet it would be dropped off Tuesday, surprising that was a no show from them.

On Friday night 8pm they dropped it at my vets they wanted it back Monday morning he called me to and told me the report on the dead dog was very damming to the RSPCA and did I want him to proceed with an autopsy? I asked if i could come with my son to make sure it was his dog? When we saw it the skin had been removed, the head removed and she was in bits, there was no way possible to say it was his dog. We scanned the dog and contents of the bag and no micro chip that she was registered with was present, they knew before hand through Clive we were going to go and identify the dog she had only been in there care 2 days, I firmly believe that the RSPCA did this act deliberately. I have found out another dog has been attacked and bitten about the head, I have photos and there own vet report stating no marks on the dog.

They granted me access Friday 25 to see my dogs they only fetched 4 dogs. Out of the 4 dogs one was emaciated and had lost 1/3 of his weight with bites to his back legs and tail. I pointed this out to the police and the RSPCA that were present, and the answer I got was to email them with a complaint. I then asked the office why he would not do something abut them starving the dog and the injuries his reply was report the matter to the RSPCA. It’s like there a law unto themselves. I went to the police station to report the fact that they had killed one dog, had injured anther and the emaciated dog, There reply you, will have to write to the RSPCA as its nothing to do with them. I did ask them if it was there duty to stop or prevent any acts of cruelty? They would not answer. Hunting in the UK is legal under the DEFRA guidelines (rat rabbit and fox for the protection of game birds). "

I no this is an arb forum but this has really got my back up!!! an innocent dog killed in their "care" and returned to its owner skinned and its head chopped off two days after being taken away........ :thumbdown:

It is usually a sign that the rails on the bar have splayed open and may have even worn one on one side.

 

Take the bar off, get it in a vice and put a straight edge across the rails and see how square they are, also check how tight the chainn is being held in the rails - there should not be to much side to side movement of the chain in the bar!

 

If the bar is a bit buggered, it is common for the cutters on one side of the chain to wear more than the other.

Cheers spud!! There is quite alot of play in it to be fair!!! Looks like it is bar and chain which is ok as i thought the saw was knackered!!!

Heavy handed sharpening on one side (most of us take off more on one side naturally), or bar rail worn thinner on one side would be my guess.

 

That's £460 please mate.

I can lose the VAT for cash.

 

Shall I PM my Nigerian bank details?

cheers mate!! To be fair i did let some one sharpen it with a 4in grinder few days before!! Ill get a knew chain and try that lol might need a new bar to does anyone know where i can get one??? Old model now and only seem to have them in america lol

My jonsered 630 super has started cutting at an angle no matter how much i try to keep it straight!! Any ideas why??

Fair play mate you cant not service something as its work and when it leaves the shop its not your responsabilty imo

The guy is one of my customers and very local to me. I would say he is in his early 70's but very fit and active.

He is a domestic user of a saw, but I have no idea if he has had any training, despite using saws for many years.

He suffered a punctured lung, 8 broken ribs and a smashed shoulder.

 

18 months ago I was flamed on this forum for saying that saws were dangerous and should maybe be restricted on sales to general public without training.

There were replies saying thst hilti guns, circular saws etc were eqully dangerous.

 

But this goes to show that the consequences of using the saw can be more serious than just using the saw.

 

I hope the guy makes a good recovery, he is a nice chap.

Did you sell him the saw he cut the tree with???

Lol

Hedge cutting on stilts what next Coco the clown clearing up.

lets go all in and throw a 200 in the mix

I'm feeling a little light headed:blushing:

 

Thanks Chaps:thumbup:

Dont really post alot on here but read it alot and spud always comes across to me that he does these saws for the fact he enjoys the person getting back a saw they have big dreams for actually living that dream lol

Lets be honest he could make thousands out this site but i cant remember anyone on here saying they had a bad deal with him!!! AND lets not forget this isnt a guy getting praise on "rose trimming monthly" for his award winning cutting scissor re revits....... this guy is getting constant positive results on machines used day in and day out in the trade on a place like this full of "tree workers" groundies can enjoy it to..... full respect from me for not milking it imo.....in a day an age thats "rip of britain" its refreshing to see theres people out there still willling to share the skills as a cottage industry.....some things aint about money to some people......

I no someone who paid £150 to get a new pot and piston put in a spear and jackson saw he brought from argos for £99.... the guy who fixed it promised it would come back twice as powerful...... thing came back worse than it went with a USED pot and piston and the chainbrake not working 3 out of 5 times i hit it with my wrist...... theres 1000s of people out there working on chainsaws who shouldnt be and giving them back to 10000s of people who shouldnt using them!!! Spuds doing it for working men at working mans prices.....fair play.....

Get in with a small skip company mate.....dont tip at the big boys yard cause to them your just another cash card!!! I find the more you tip at places the price comes down but never be an arse are banter with the price as you want there services NOT the other way round!!! Whatever happens get rid of your waste legally and responsably mate that way you wont get any trouble off the council or police!! Good luck.......
