  1. A good scarifying should sort it.
  2. Error 520: web server returns an unknown error Error 520 occurs when the origin server returns an empty, unknown, or unexpected response to Cloudflare. Resolution A quick workaround while further investigating 520 errors is to either make the record DNS-only in the Cloudflare DNS app or temporarily pause Cloudflare. Contact your hosting provider or site administrator and request a review of your origin web server error logs for crashes and to check for these common causes: Origin web server application crashes Cloudflare IPs not allowed at your origin Headers exceeding 16 KB (typically due to too many cookies) An empty response from the origin web server that lacks an HTTP status code or response body Missing response headers or origin web server not returning proper HTTP error responses. upstream prematurely closed connection while reading response header from upstream is a common error we may notice in our logs. This indicates the origin web server was having issues which caused Cloudflare to generate 520 errors. 520 errors are prevalent with certain PHP applications that crash the origin web server. If 520 errors continue after contacting your hosting provider or site administrator, provide the following information to Cloudflare Support: Full URL(s) of the resource requested when the error occurred Cloudflare cf-ray from the 520 error message Output from http://www.example.com/cdn-cgi/trace (replace www.example.com with your hostname and domain where the 520 error occurred) Two HAR files: one with Cloudflare enabled on your website, and the other with Cloudflare temporarily disabled.
  3. I always thought they were there to act as a shock absorber rather than the shaft shearing.
  4. Well of course it is, it is a 20mm plastic replica fastened to the front of the camera. I am currently making one of the Eifel Tower for similar effect.
  5. escargot?
  6. How do you know they didn't just move the net?
  7. I didn't need Chris Whitty or the Daily Mail to tell me that, I knew some time ago. What concerns me most at the mo is I might be one of them.
  8. It is still a lot better than getting your knackers greased though.
  9. Deal with it now, it will be harder still in a few years.
  10. I had my Oxdale on the trailer with the rings and some long hoses to work it. Nice setup on an Ifor flat bed and quick enough if your tractor is fairly modern, rather slow on vintage tractors with small hydraulics. I since bought "bigger and better" splitters but wish I had kept my Oxdale too.
  11. Cheapest ones off eBay, buy them in bulk for a years supply. It says 14 in a packet but I get 28 fires out of them. Missus compensates this by using half a packet at a time and still doesn't always go at first attempt (and this is lighting bone dry leylandii kindling!!!)
  12. I've been splitting stacked rings this week, they are not mouldy and are bone dry. My splitter hasn't struggled either.
  13. It's OK, he is going to have a brush and one rod up there before he realises.
  14. Didn’t notice that mentioned on the 6 o’clock news.
  15. Mine is a La Nordica Thermo Suprema. Had a slightly bigger one in my old house and loved it, this was bought for my new place. The proof of the pudding.... Tonight's treat was pork and apple casserole and was also very nice.
  16. Same as mine and we live in a big old farm house. I am staggered at what some people say their electric bills are and wonder how they manage to spend so much. I understand if there's a house full of kids but still seems extravagant. My house is warm often too hot), my missus is in full control of heating and you must know what cold blooded creatures they generally are. I am slowly training her to cook on the log fired oven instead of electric. Why she thinks a wood fired oven at 200°C is not as hot as an electric oven at 185°C defies explanation. Last night she was almost in tears as she had "ruined" an apple crumble in the wood fired oven. Turned out to be delicious and probably the best she had ever made.
  17. I wouldn't have it in my house.
  18. I can only comment on my experience with apples but I find large cuts (you say you pollarded them) are an almost certain way to introduce silverleaf. I have particularly noticed this when trying to change apple varieties by pollarding and grafting. It is better to replant with the right varieties due to risk of silverleaf. In my orchards silverleaf infected trees are marked and pruned last and yes I do disinfect between those trees but not between healthy trees. It genuinely does spread very quickly if you go from infected tree to healthy tree without disinfecting. I don't grub trees just because they show silvering as they can still crop well and have had some definitely recover and go on to live long and happy lives. I do grub any that show the fungus brackets as yours have. (I am not knowledgable enough to say it is silverleaf but it would be enough for me)
  19. Already mentioned above but if you are intending to do any amount of pruning with them there is a great deal to be said on getting the ones with a battery on your belt or a backpack. Anything to keep the weight off your hands/wrist. Hand pruning is brutal on those parts of your body over time and reducing that wear and tear can only be good. Besides that you will tire less and so get more work done. Anyone with carpel tunnel, arthritis or tennis elbow will tell you the extra few hundred quid is worth the money. Electric Pruner Cutting Shears Garden Pruning Fruit Tree Trimmer Scissors 220V WWW.EBAY.CO.UK Orchard, park, garden and other trees pruning. Fruit trees pruning. 1x electric scissors. Cutting carpets, floor paper, wire and so on. High power motor. This item support 90V-240V... These are the same as the "cheap" ones I bought. I have done a lot of work with them, no issues whatsoever and are still fully functional. Never ran the battery out even on an 8 hour day, I'd say you could get 2 days out of one charge reasonably easy.
  20. I bought some "cheap" Chinese knockoff electric secateurs, they cost me £350 which was a great deal of money to me at the time. They enabled me to go so much quicker that I didn't need an assistant which in turn equalled them paying for themselves in 10 days (assistants were £35/day at the time) My current "proper" Infaco set cost £1800 and no reason to think they won't last the rest of my pruning days. If you are using secateurs a lot they are a no brainer. You can get special gloves which turn them off before you chop your fingers off, I haven't got them and do still have all my fingers but as said earlier they are not going to stop just because your finger is in the way. Having said that, my dumbass assistant managed to cut his finger within 20 minutes of being given ordinary secateurs. Extremely dumbass because all he had to do was walk along snipping occasional branches off, he could easily have had his other hand in his pocket and done the job he was asked to do.
  21. It is going to be a bit fiddly when it is time to take it off and it is all rusted in place. Cutting disc on a grinder I guess. Not dissing the fix. 👍
  22. Sounds like a store using cooler air at night to blow through whatever it is being stored, potatoes, grain etc. At my last house I regularly heard loud traffic noise in the kitchen. Nearest road was a mile away and nobody else could hear it. Never did explain that one.
  23. The way the lorry driver I had here this week performed, he must have had someone open the cornflakes for him.
  24. Wasn't really to wash your hands as such, rubbing them in your hands got rid of strong odours such as onion and the like. Still got one somewhere.
