  1. I had a look at one of these last week and it appears to be a bit like a bigger, worse akimbo. Looks like would make an effective anchor or such though.
  2. Further to my last post, I drained my blower of the husky fuel and refilled it with aspen. Seems to be running fine again. Would strongly recommend avoiding the husky alkalyte fuel.
  3. I think that, but he’s also thick as f**k. So he’s thick as f**k, but thinks everyone else is so thick they’ll believe the same sh** he believes.
  4. I got one of those at a comp 5+ years ago, glad it was free or the £10 they cost would’ve been a waste of cider money. Only any use for stopping pieces sitting on a saw, and a small stick works just as good. Another thing that the world really never needed.
  5. You have any luck with this Jose? My 800 has faired far better, i think its about 3 years old now, but it just started running like a bag of crap last week. I’m tempted to blame fuel - all of my machines have been run on aspen for about 5 years now, zero issues. I couldn’t get hold of any so had to buy a tank of the husky xp alkalyte fuel. Within the week my t540iii’s spark plug burnt out, my 550ii was running odd and my 800 is basically useless. Big saws are fine though…
  6. I’m pretty sure Germany is especially bad for this, always thought so when I lived there. I remember on a pissing wet day in Germany this guy ran through our taped off site, grabbing one of the tripod folding signs, and flung it in the river. I bombed out the tree and chased after him, but what would I really do? I got back and a groundy had found his keys. He came back 20 mins later, still in his running gear, still raining, looking around on the floor. I said excuse me a few times, he ignored me, then I said ‘excuse me, have you lost your keys’ holding them up. His eyes widened, a look of pure relief, and I tossed them over my shoulder into the river. He nodded and left. It was wonderful.
  7. What, you making fun of East Asians is hilarious but me poking fun at a human trafficking rapist is just too far? News flash: yer patters shite. Peck aff.
  8. Tait was mentioned in the thread. How is a racist screen shot from you ever a defensible response? The fact your drivel is still tolerated in here is a damning reflection of this site.
  9. Uhhhh, this is news…? Away with you, Johnsond, think you’ve had a few too many again.
  10. Tate was mentioned recently and this sprang to mind…
  11. I liked this one, he hit the nail on the head with the point that Musk is exploiting the victims of childhood abuse. He’s an utter scum bag. He doesn’t even do anything of value, I bet he’d never had an original idea in his life. Farage is a spineless streak of piss but even so it’s embarrassing to see him getting his knickers in a twist for his American friends.
  12. Got along semi ok with Senas for a while, before moving to Protos coms. Personally I wouldn’t issue lads with Sena/motorcycle/diy coms in their helmets. In order to make those work you’ve had to modify a piece of ppe which imo puts you in some murky water and potentially opens you up to some liability.
  13. tbf after reading some posts on here earlier in the year I got a tracker from gpsbob and… what a waste of money. Far from the 3 month battery life or whatever they advertise, they last about a week. Doug - sorry to hear that. I’ll keep an eye out north of the forth. There was a fella indulging in a bit of robbing here in Fife a few years back, someone spotted their saw on eBay and found the lad. I believe after a brief confrontation in a pub he scuttled back down south. Hope you’ve similar closure in time.
  14. boom boom
  15. I don’t have any major issues with it, but there might be an aspect of rope selection there? My go to is 10mm rigging line and we work up from there. I do some pretty big rigging with 10mm too. I think aluminium being softer you get a little more friction from it, so how you use it does need a bit of adjustment potentially.
