  1. Changeable cloud today but still warm & humid. Dry now and the wind has dropped. I see the truth of it,, one-hand waving, doesn't make for one-hand clapping.
  2. You lucky lucky b...
  3. So, a bit shorter than Maradona but pressed against Pamela Anderson, about the same build: http://alltheheights.com/821-Diego-Armando-Maradona Forget Hoppus - measuring logs by the celebrity foot is the way forward.
  4. Somewhat on the humid side I suspect. I'm glad I won't be in CS strides today.
  5. I reckon he'd get a faster cut, if he turned the saw off and just used it with the sawing action. I think his mind is about as sharp as that chain. So a good pairing.
  6. He had/has a chimney but no earthing conductor... puzzled I am. Mind in these times. If you fitted one, the scum would be round to tear it off your house before the kettle boiled.
  7. For a short while, it poured during the night but now it's dry again, though cloudy a feels chilly. I dare say it's not actual a chill, just the glowering sky and light wind that makes it so by comparison to weather of late.
  8. Hey! Get behind the others in the queue.
  9. Can't see the saw having done only 15hrs. but still, the Alaskan, bars & chains, (providing they in good nick) would set you back not far off the total asking price. Throw in the saw too and you have yourself a bargain.

    Crackin' Idea!

    You wouldn't want to fly with one, due to the weight. And I can foresee there'd be booking-in holdups everywhere you'd go.
  11. Would be nice and good practice for milling. But unloading this end would be problematic... no crane.
  12. Sorry. I didn't mean to offend you in any way. You gave plenty of info, without having to be asked for more. The joke was not about you or your knowledge base but simple a wisecrack on my part. Once again, I apologise for the quip.

    Stuck bolt!

    Good suggestion that; better than mine.
  14. Ok, so he's forcing the small log a bit. Whereas the petrol one was demonstrated with slightly heavier logs, so their weight was enough to carry each piece down though the cut on its own. I don't see it as being that bad.
  15. Did you have to install the small child before positioning table or after?

    Stuck bolt!

    I presume you've tried the obvious; turn the bolts clockwise to partcially tighten, before attempting to loosen. Together with above but a good soak with penetrating oil first, leave and then quick blast with a bit more, before attempting the tighten & loosening. Heat with decent blowtorch, then ratchet the thing off. If it goes all honey-shaped. You'll just have to drill and Helicoil.
  17. Bit of a shock to the system that. Yesterday was predominantly hot with cool night. Today promises more of the same dry weather. Must have a look around for much needed sacrifices. Note to self. Wave hands more. Get that chanting done.
  18. Looking at these and other like vids, it does rather seem that young goats like being atop things, animals or people. Thanks for the links, they have made me smile.
  19. Tested again yesterday and noticed a slight error with my last post. The 20.3Mbps is a wi-fi result. Her wired connection has risen to 37+Mbps. When I'm up north, I rarely get even 1Mbps download on a wired connection; the avg. is less than half that and I pay the same money.
  20. Did you pay by card? If you did, I suggest you instruct the card issuer to cancel the transaction and recover the loss.
  21. ... holidays in Cypress California and has a timeshare in Scotland. Good luck with your tree.
  22. I missed that but will watch it here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b041m6fh/the-magic-of-mushrooms and available for 6 days from 15th July.
  23. "Ate they having a laugh" Only if you buy it.

    CCTV Deals

    Not saying they're the best or the b-all & end-all but there's some deals at Toolstation at the mo'. I like the outback cameras Toolstation for £80. I know they themselves can be easily stolen but for photo capture of wildlife, (probably no good against scum). Also like the idea of wireless PIR sonic alarms as a supplement against scum, under £20. There is other stuff too.
  25. My mother recently changed from an old BT router, to a new BT router. Same external cabling and less money but her Ping was reduced by a third, avg. upload went from 1.5Mbps to 9.2+Mbps and avg. download went from 4.9Mbps to 20.3Mbps. When I exchanged it, I reused the same after-market internal cabling.
