Sounds like you've a fuel supply problem. Perhaps the fuel filter needs replacing, maybe the fuel cap breather hole is blocked and not venting properly. Or it could be at the carb; either inside or the fuel pipe expanding and losing a good seal. When was a last time you changed the fuel filter and or fuel pipe?

Perhaps his species is cold blooded. Maybe if he lived outside the UK, he'd be warmed in the morning. Enough that blood would make it to his brain and intelligence would flow from said organ.

Sounds like old newspaper to me.

I disagree - there are some who are knowledgeabe about badgers and of those, a great many will have an in depth grounding in the TB-badger-cattle argument and ongoing scientic research. Though I freely admit, there are some people, who will take any opportunity to disrupt the proceedings of others and to hug an acorn for life.

Might or might not be of help: 200 T Owner's Manual http://needmanual.com/stihl-ms-200t-chainsaw-owners-manual.html 201 T User's Manual http://m.stihlusa.com/WebContent/CMSFileLibrary/instructionmanuals/ms-201t-chain-saw-instruction-manual.pdf

Fair point that.

I remember wanting a fragrant joss stick holder some years back. But not wanting to pay out around £5 for a strip of rosewood. So out to the log pile, select a small dry half log, then drilled an 1/8" hole at an angle and that was it. Never thought of marketing them. Perhaps some idiot with more money than sense would buy.

So much for Stihl backup/dealer/agent. Perhaps more interested in flogging a a new machine, than even looking it over properly. Good news for owner, is that it lives on.

Ok, I can see the usefulness if a small chainsaw with short bar, if finish is not important, as in being finished with a flail. But if the hedge has stems near the final finish height, thick enough to warrant a chain. Then why not leave them to grow-on and pleech around them? Or if this makes the job impossible, cut low down and work into the hedge. On the other hand, if you're just trimming down to size, there are such gadgets as hedge trimmers and for the thick stuff, perhaps a Silky.

A staggering suggestion. Are you seriously putting forward the idea of decapitating 'Weebles' and eating their gooy bits? I have to sit down now. My childhood is draining before my eyes.

Normally eat boiled eggs without an egg cup. Chicken eggs just aren't big enough to warrant holding it in place in cup made for purpose and duck/goose eggs, well they just don't make egg cups that big. But if you must have an answer and let's face it, you have asked the question. I'd say it has to be sideways. That way you can choose where best to open and go from there. But maybe I'm just awkward. P.S. I like coddled eggs mixed with a few drops of soy sauce, lightly mixed and drunk.

Have a look through, http://evidence.environment-agency.gov.uk/FCERM/Libraries/FCERM_Project_Documents/Manual_on_the_use_of_timber_in_coastal_and_river_engineering.sflb.ashx Bit of a read I know but it does raise some points, which if you've not built a jetty/pier before, might be of interest. Like the need for timber at or below the waterline, to be able to withstand heavy impact. In the structure's life, it's going to get rammed a few times. The owner might be careful but other water users may not. As to plastic - it has it's uses but long-term exposure to UV can be damaging to material, perhaps in a way not immediately noticeable for visual inspection and can lead to dynamic failure. Whereas wood will, (generally) give you prior notice of impending failure. Also, there's always some daft soul who'll set a disposable BBQ directly onto the planking.

Um. I was on your side on the breath test. As to police cars carrying passengers - I have no view on the matter, nor have I expressed a view thus far.

Just noticed my error with post #22. That should have been 'Stihl manuals' and not Husky.

Sat did some site clearance and processing. Took it easy Sun but have pressure washer test to complete on Mon and if it's go, then wash masonry bells prior to painting. Tue is helping to processing two ton, (not tonne) of mixed wood and delivery thereof. Wed it's back to site clearance, collecting chairs from a chapel & erecting a 20' dia. yurt.

To my understanding, if you're on your own land/road/track, then you are not on a public highway and thus a breath test is not applicable. The copper had over-stepped his authority and ought to read the law again.

Get a Mac/Mac Mini if you can afford it and run a dual operating system. Or have a look at somewhere like 'Morgan Computers' or 'Laptops Direct' or even Dell. For your stated needs, you don't need an all-singing-all-dancing computer. You also don't a dedicated graphics card, a ton of RAM or a massive HD. If you have a choice between RAM or HD size, go for RAM and make sure you either get an external backup HD or a cloud account, such as 'Google Docs' or 'Dropbox'. If you need to move around with your data, get a laptop or similar. If you don't need a mobile workstation, get a desktop. You'll get more bang for bucks with a desktop but you don't need to be spending more than £300 on a PC/laptop; unless you decide on a Mac. If you presently have a desktop PC and choose to stay that way, save some money - use existing monitor & cables and just get the PC.

It would be a pity if St. Osyth went but I'd be quite happy to see Clacton go. But you can't have one without the other.

I presume seaweed is in if you live near a coastline, as are shellfish. Fungi at certain times of the year, plus mice, voles & squabs.

And this coming from someone who owns a 550.

If people generally had the sense they processed at age six months, you'd be out of business.

200hrs. they'll spend casing other potential victims. The fine will be easily paid by the resale of your trailer & 360, with a profit for all four of them. Between the judiciary and politicians, there's barely an honest one among them. Nor one who seems to live in the real world. With a starting salary of £102,133 plus one of the most generous pensions in the UK. Their pension is half their final salary, at age 65, but after a maximum of just 20 years' service, plus a lump sum of two and a quarter times their annual pension. Is it any wonder that judges don't have to live in the real world. Nor have any idea of the hardship their rediculous sentencing has on the victims of crime.

The Boxer Rebellion: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boxer_Rebellion see also 'Opium Wars'. Both were the beginning of the end of Chinese dynastic power and internal government. The 'O.Ws.' and the 'B.R.' were both ploys to settle both power and governance away from the 'Qing (common pronunciation is Ching) Dynasty', of a land rich in natural resources, (and a cheap moveable workforce) which the western powers, near eastern powers and Japan were unwilling to pay for or trade with fairly. Also, both wars led to the subjugation of the Chinese peoples; making them third class citizens in their own land until the communists took control. This is a much simplied potted history but there is a wealth of recorded history out there, for those that wish to learn. Now back to the trees.

Nice work if you can get it and a worthy work in progress. All to often mankind destroys, even if they know of its exsistance. How many countless species will we destroy without knowing... rhetorical.

The Husky manuals are written in German and seemingly translated into English, by someone who didn't finish the ten 1hr. night-school course. Though I freely admit they did it better than I could have done it. One is curious as to what German translated into Chinese and then into English reads like. If anybody buys one of these Mickey Mouse saws. Would they be so kind and let me know what they think of the manual. I have a number of Chinese friends and nearly all speak & write without using past or future tense; only in the here and now. So one never knows when an event has, is or is going to be, until the end of the sentence/paragraph. It can be most confusing at times. "Uh. When is Troy going to fall? And when did flying cars become the norm for public transport?" As to Stihl's posting of their branded goods policy. You could easily delete past, present & future tense and it would make just as much sense...
