Is there such a thing as a cheapish pto driven chipper that can handle leylandii ? I have a choice of tractors from 30-100hp. Only for own use on my farm that has a lot of leylandii to come down, anything fit for firewood will go that way so probably around the 4-6" max diameter. What sort of money would such a thing start at and any recommendations other than a bonfire.

Michael the nonce Jackson and his sexual preferences have not influenced my opinion of the monkey shagger. My girlfriend at the time spent three whole days skriking about John Lennon dying, much to my complete bafflement.

I bought a Sealey version, it will start the vehicle if it is already trying to start ie. not completely dead but that's about it. Then bought a bigger and much more expensive NOCO version which is obviously lots better and starts anything that is going to start. Very good for mishaps and unexpected events but it is far better and cheaper to make sure your vehicle battery is in good condition. Spent a lifetime working in a scrapyard challenge farming partnership and wouldn't like to think just how much extra was spent in time arsing about trying to start vehicles with broken batteries.

I had that, covid in the November before they invented it. I don't usually suffer from such things but that one knocked me about. As far as I know I have never actually had covid. I've got the cough now, had it for a 10 days or so. Not ill, still working but coughing til I can't breathe at times. Was a bit worried at first following the radiotherapy on my throat earlier in the year but seems much more like a cold now so nothing abnormal for the time of year etc. Had a routine visit to the consultant on Monday. Cancelled because she was "not feeling very well", said it was OK because nor am I.

I have a prescription to collect and I turn 60 in Feb, maybe i'll hang on a bit.

I went down south a couple of months ago and I swear there was a dead kangaroo on the hard shoulder of the M6 a few miles before it joins the M1. I've been to Oz many times and do know what they look like.

Can't stand and won't drink tea made by putting the bag in the cup and yes I can tell. Other than that not fussy if it is strong weak or milky. Worst ever was a cup of Earl Grey with goats milk without telling me. That really was a horrific surprise!

I have a few tape measures which only show metric, I would never buy one though. Picked up what looked like a decent measure once in a store, put it back down as soon as I saw it was metric only. I have nothing against metric at all and use it more than imperial but I still need both on there. I like the Stanley 8m Tylon tape measures, buy them in packs of two when on offer. Also have some Milwaukee tapes too that are quite nice to use. I think the oldest one I have is a B&Q own brand more than 10 years old, it is the least used which is why it has lasted the longest. Edit: they are DeWalt not Milwaukee which is just as well as I can't spell that.

Do you and the delivery driver not know it is autumn?

I'm not a plumber but have had plenty of backboilers and gravity systems over the years. I would think the fact the pipework is going upstairs from a downstairs fire means you have a rise and horizontal pipework under the floorboards wouldn't matter. Had plenty of systems that worked off gravity over large areas and no way did the fitters laser level that pipework to get a constant rise. The nature of the gravity system will drive the flow. Having said that, I would still fit a pump, if you don't the first rad will get hot, second not so much and last one is a waste of time. Personally I would design it with two circuits, one for hot water and one for heating. Simple thermostat on the pipework that turns the pump on when it gets to a set temp and goes off when it cools down. Lashings of hot water whenever needed. Not sure how/why you don't use hot water but it isn't a waste to have it, it only heats and stays there it doesn't escape, especially useful in an airing cupboard. I asked my plumber to fit a system that works exactly this way and he goes and fits Hive controllers, motorised valves and allsorts. God knows why as it over complicates it and at the mo if only the oil is on I can't even fill a sink with hot water! (fire part works fine)

I just got the white flex rods and two brushes as I have a 5" flue and a 6" flue. Didn't see the need for locking ones as long as you keep twisting them they can't come undone. Done enough work on land drains over the years and never lost any. (clockwise not anticlockwise @spudulike No idea why they make them in white of all colours.Had them a while now but not actually got round to using them but they look the part alright. Drain rods are too stiff for flexible flues imo, ok for brick chimneys though. Until I got this set I have been using a set of those really thin, like 3-4mm, rods they use for poking electric cables through joists etc with a brush fastened on the end. Worked for me for probably about 10 years before they got tired.

No it is real time. Each time they launch a fresh batch that is what you see until they spread themselves out, I have seen it myself more than once. There are 5000 up there now of a plan of possibly 40,000.

What Gareth said. Very much against them personally as it all seems a bit chucking junk up there now we have messed everything up down here. Also not a big fan of Musk. Do have Starlink though which is a massive hypocrisy but the only internet that actually works here.

May be so but I certainly don't like trying to burn logs that are over 20%. It is very noticeable that they don't give anything like as much heat never mind the crap in the chimney/flue. My logs are usually 17% ish but it is inevitable they creep up to 20% in the wettest times of winter as they take on atmospheric moisture.

If you are actually grafting with it the Felco Victorinox general grafting knife is a fair bit better than an Opinel. If you are serious a Tina is about the best you can get. I have both and yest the Felco is better than Opinel and the Tina better still and you can tell. Hurts much less when you slice your thumb with the Tina but goes deeper. Heals quicker though.

Polished walnut handle perfectly shaped to fit the hand.

I think you are going to be in for a shock at just how dangerous it is to be lifting heavy loads at height with a loader. I will be honest and say it terrifies me and my tractor is a fair bit bigger than that. Rear mounted forks or even a rear mounted fork lift are very much safer. Other than that. go on eBay and find the cheapest 3 point linkage forks and get someone to weld a euro 8 bracket on. The brackets cost about £60 already welded onto a "H" plate.

Homegrown toms, onion, garlic, sweetcorn, basil cooked on homegrown firewood.

Have had most vans over the years and the Movano was the best by a very long way. Don't know if that translates to tippers though.

It would last a lot longer than the chain and bar though, especially in winter.

They have evolved to survive fire, maybe the same mechanism allows them to survive frost too.

Not here it isn't and for a first in my life I stocked up before the current price rises kicked in. Would be more than £300 dearer today for me. re your jerry can. I have the old style with a vented clip on spout. No glugging and empties within 2 minutes easy. Only downside is if you fill the jerry can full right up you might get a splash from the spout first off.

The only traffic noise I have is I can sometimes hear a train in the distance if the conditions make sound travel a bit more. Other than that any vehicle I hear or see I usually know the driver, isn't that extraordinary in this modern world of ours. I am indeed very lucky, very aware of it and fully appreciative of it. 👍

I just step out of my door and I am there. Orchards are through the gate the other side of the lane from my house. Occasionally I have to venture further and have usually started swearing at people within the first 3 miles and usually because of a cyclist or 12.

Nor can I but they are what causes that on cherry.
