Yep, and for what is really a pittance of a salary!
-
Fully agree, I think Penny Mordaunt scared the ‘Old Guard’, they just want to keep the gravy train on the same track!

The Makita 750mm battery hedge trimmers are well balanced and lightweight. If u don’t need petrol and have brought into Makita batteries I’d recommend a look.

Do Not send your lads out Monday and Tuesday.

Normal day in the mess Kev..😀 -
Thx for the replies, my mate just wants to know that it’s safe to burn👍
-
Can anyone tell me what this black staining on logs (I believe it’s ash) is due to? Asking for a mate👍

I’ve finally had time to put the Dolmar cordless brushcutter to some use. I have to say I’m impressed! I’m getting about 40 mins cutting time off 2 x 6ah Waitley batteries, so similar to my Husky 343r on a tank of fuel. That’s on the medium speed/power setting. Clearly it’s nowhere near as powerful and not a full-on brushcutter, but it’s fantastic on long grass, nettles etc. One bonus is you can easily control the line spin speed and can trim around trees without causing any damage. Im running an Oregan Jet Head on it with desert extrusions 2.4mm cord which it copes with well, I binned the bump head within the first day. Its light enough to use without harness so great on banks and cutting brambles vertically. All in all a good purchase and I’d recommend to anyone who’s already bought into the Makita system…very happy indeed!

They also don’t seem to give a sh*t about the sh*t regs[emoji106]
-
Yeah we had one of these… cracking bit of kit…. But bloody heavy!!
-
The Makita 18v x 2 saws are great and not expensive.. if u already have the Makita 18v batteries it’s a no brainier.

Haha, fair point…. Just incompetent generally[emoji1][emoji106]

I think they were bred to hunt badgers?
-
Yep the KC are a bunch of money grabbing clowns! It’s about time the working breed clubs broke away and started their own breeding organisation. Their incompetence during CV19 has been shocking. As u say, some of the show dogs have been bred to accentuate the traits that will win them the Crufts titles, bull dogs that can’t breathe, King Charles Spaniel’s who’s heads are too small for their brain, GSDs with weird back/hip conformation…. Shocking!
-
Thx David, I actually fancy one myself but I guess trying to get one from working stock would be hard. Wouldn’t want one of those in-bred handbag types that suffer bad backs etc
-
Was it a Teckel hound, like a wire haired dachshund? Supposedly fantastic at tracking deer
-
Its a bit crazy, some of these mongrels/crossbreeds are making serious dosh, the Cockerpoos particularly. I can see the attraction for those that suffer with allergies, and they also don’t shed hair but I’m certainly a preferrer of pure bred dogs. My wife breeds working cockers and we currently have a litter of “Cockerdors”, our randy stud cocker got across our lab….dirty bugger didn’t even tie! Anyway they are gorgeous looking pups that will make great workers or pets…. Didnt struggle to sell at all.

I don’t disagree with you Eggs, life is getting hard for the less well off across society, and we should be looking after the sick, aged and veterans, state pensions should equate to a living wage. But there is a significant chunk of society that are no more that parasites “an organism that lives in or on an organism of another species (its host) and benefits by deriving nutrients at the other's expense”. These types will take advantage of every loophole, every food bank, every compo claim, every government handout… all whilst claiming to be unable to feed their families. There was a family interviewed on BBC news the other day bleating about the very same… Everyone of them, mum, dad and kids were fat as fook! Starving…my ar*e! Tightening your belt ain’t cancelling ur Netflix account of cutting down to 2 takeaways or Uber-eats a week.

What it was on the Daily Mirrors part was once again selective inflammatory reporting. Most of what he said was possibly right. I would hazard a guess (based on my own observations) that a significant chunk of the population cannot make a decent meal from scratch using fresh produce. As we’ve discussed many times in here over the years and is now (given the global crisis) compounded, people lack the ability to prioritise or budget…. That’s a fact! And as long as the woke libtards continue to stick their heads in the sand and not address the issue… we will remain fooked!
-
Do you agree or disagree with his comments Eggs? “Sparks fury” amongst which part of the community exactly? The pizza munching, inept ****************whits that can’t budget or cook food from scratch perhaps🙄

The law allows you to shoot deer 1hr after sunset and 1hr before sunrise. I’m sure using thermal or image intensifier during those times is not illegal. Using a spotlight in darkness or any of those other devices at other times of night is. For foxes, rabbits, and vermin…. No problem. However you can apply for a licence to shoot deer at night if you can prove crop damage etc.

I went back to a bump head on my Husky 343r last week, 1hr in and it was back off and thrown in the back of the workshop! The irritation of either the line snapping at the eyelet or welding/unwinding in the cassette….[emoji35] I’ve even stuck a jet fit head on my new Makita battery machine, seems to cope well.
-
As advised by #Stubby many years ago😄
-
On grass, Oregon jet-fit and 3mm flexiblade line takes some beating imho. Just use two pieces in a 4 way head keeps the line speed up[emoji106]

Hacksaws are for cutting metal mate. Seriously, buy yourself a Silky type saw and use that. If its too big to cut with that id suggest its too big for you to tackle. Climbing trees is a skill and you can get it seriously wrong and end up either injured, causing property damage or worse. As others have advised, can you look at other options such as asking neighbours to contribute as its it benefits them?
