  1. I'm surprised the Stihl fans haven't pointed out the dearth of orange+white equipment.

  7. Bit warmer now but this morning it was -4°C. Didn't prevent the council gangs strimming and cutting grass verges.

  9. The 110 http://en.stepkovac.com/products/stepkovac-tr110/ appears to need 50hp min., with a recommended 70hp.
  10. Not my favourite but great for dunking, seldom breaks prematurely and can be dunked in even narrow mugs - chocolate bourbon.
  11. Mammalian
  12. Still damp and now misty.

    Thermal Imaging

    You'd need the 'XR' version to detect animals at distance. But as said, the field of vision is smaller too.
  15. Damp, foggy is what it is.
  16. How about helium balloons tied on with bale twine. I'm sure they wouldn't get in the way,
  17. Seed.

  21. Bugger! That's a really crap day. Hope your own transport is back on the road soon. And that the bickies haven't got damp. Nothing worse than dunking damp bickies.
  22. It's not a good thing. But how many businesses can afford to lose £1,000,000 per day? And that's just at Port Talbot. How much are they losing elsewhere too. I can see that to Tata, it's just a case of cutting cost in order to survive and maybe if it becomes economically viable in the future, they may be able to resume production at the same sites. At the same time, I can appreciate that the closure or near closure of a steelworks, kills the local economy dead in its tracks. I originally hark from a steel town. Once surrounded by coal mines. All are sadly now just history. Sure the air is now cleaner, the fells are green, (for the most part) and you can hang washing out and bring them is dry & clean. Not dirtier than when you hung them out. Working men live into retirement age and some are not racked with one or more industrial deceases when they die. But in an area built and fed on coal & steel. The loss of either or worse of both , deals a crippling blow to the towns and all the service industries for many miles around. In my home town, the works finally closed to welcome in 1990. The last pit closed only a few years later. The town itself and surrounding towns barely alive, just shambling wrecks even now. Thatcher probably had a celebratory drink on both days. It wasn't London, so it didn't matter. Rant nearly over - suffice to say, I loathed Thatcher, her cronies & her henchmen with a passion! She broke community after community, partly to brake the unions and partly to make point about braking the unions.

    Thermal Imaging

    Saw one of these: Seek Thermal Camera review - CNET attached to an iPhone last week. For the owner, it was just another gadget he's thinking of stocking. For me it was a novelty with possible real world occasional use; but too expensive when I came to pricing. For Android it's approx. £170 and for iOS it's £250 for the std. versions. They do an 'XR', which has an extended range but tighter working field. Apparently it eats battery life but weighs next to nothing and is easy to use. Just point it in the general direction and away it goes. You get an instant & accurate infrared background image, overlaid with central image temp. in either C or F. Hot spots and cold spots are easily distinguishable in their surroundings. You can capture results on video to play back later for reference. You can also change he colour scheme to one you find aesthetically pleasing. In use, it was able to register/show the difference, where a hand had rested on a granite work-surface for 30secs. or so and then removed, from the surrounding stone. You could clearly see finger marks etc. Their dog running round the garden at night was no problem. Now it might not be to everyone's needs but if you're a sparks, plumber or heating engineer. Or simply someone who'd like to see how thermally insulative their home is and doesn't want to pay out for a professional survey. This could be very useful.
  24. Teddy bares all in sensational reveal!
