why do some people take the stihl/husky debate so seriously?
Peasgood replied to flatyre's topic in General chat
Maybe same reason as people fighting to the death over whichever football team they support. No rhyme nor reason to it and shows lack of intelligence imo. -
I think my geese are going to start laying soon so fairly seasonal. The ones I didn't eat at Christmas I mean. I hate the way Easter eggs hit the shelves on Boxing Day, BBQ and camping gear on Easter Monday, Back to School stuff as soon as the summer hols start and Christmas stuff the day they go back. Degrades all of it imo.

If one of the options is fell it and be done, why not pollard it right back to the trunk almost? Leave one branch to act as a lung and cut that off when the tree gets going again. Can look a bit of a bollox but will be a nice looking tree again soon enough. Nature has done a few like that at my place (blown big limbs off) and they grow back again. Keeps the tree and neighbours are happy.

Push bikes on road do they go in middle of road or not thanks

Keep a few sturdy garden canes in the truck. When you encounter these divs just draw alongside and poke one through the spokes of their front wheel. -
Mobile phone data how much do you use per month thanks
Peasgood replied to mendiplogs's topic in The Lounge
Last month I plugged my iPhone into my pc. I think it must have updated itself using my phone data as it used 3.5gig in a day. -
I'm in

I got a second hand laser printer off ebay for £30 with enough toner to last forever. I can't think of better economy, fantastic printer (best I have ever had) but B&W only. Samsung ML-1665 Actually chose that model after reading many reviews.

Nope, per 100,000 of population there are 60 times more homicides in USA compared to UK. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_firearm-related_death_rate

If america is somewhere that you need to have a gun in order to protect yourself from the bad guys it must be a friggin awful place to live. I have guns but not for protection and the best part of having to keep them locked away is that I am safe from them if a bad guy does come along. I am not expecting a bad guy any time soon either. Gun laws in the UK are just fine as they are in my opinion. Gun crime here rarely involves legally held guns and there is nothing that needs changing in light of events in Paris. The UK should be in control of its gun laws (and all other laws for that matter) not the EU. I am quite content that you cannot own a pistol in this country even though many don't agree. I am also happy that semi automatic and automatic weapons are not allowed (yes I do know semi auto rimfire and shotguns are allowed) and cannot comprehend why USA allows civilians to own military rifles.

You come on here telling folk you have a Renault and a Lidl chainsaw?
-
Ah, re-read it and you said pallet forks, not fork lift. Doh.
-
I have used one in the distant past that was on the back of a MF135 fastened to the rear fork lift, so they do exist, do fit on a rear mounted fork lift and they do work. Google "box rotator" and there are pics
-
I would think it was cheaper to buy good hardwood logs that are already split than to pay £400 for that lot.

Has anybody ever been done for not having a CPC where this was the only "crime"? ie. done nothing else wrong at the time.
-
I'm on my second Nilfisk. I wore the first one out and it was impressive enough to get another the same make
-
If anyone can get through a CPC course without attending I am all in favour of it. The whole thing is the biggest waste of anybody's time I can think of. I just can not figure how anybody anywhere can think that there is any point to it whatsoever. How I wrote that lot without swearing is another of life's mysteries.

The gross vehicle weights are pretty much the same for each model and it is going to be around the 3500kg mark. Having twin wheels does not mean they can carry more, it means they can carry less! Reason being the weight of the two extra wheels gets knocked off the payload capacity. I have a LWB Cabstar and I'm sure the plate says 3200kg gross so check first to know what you are getting. Also check the unladen weight, mine can only carry 1.4 tons whereas my old twin headlight version could carry 1.75 ton.

Design or height of flue is probably the issue. I had the same years ago and it was cured by increasing the height of flue by a metre. I hope you folk that have this problem have got carbon monoxide alarms in your houses. There really could be a serious risk of it and I advise fitting at least one. I wouldn't want you to wake up dead one morning.

What are the downsides and why not go for the boiler version in the first place? Mine is a La Nordica. Won't stay in overnight but does all heating, hot water and cooking in a draughty 6 bed farmhouse. I like it, would have another and other than not staying in overnight I can't think of any down sides. Can't say I am desperate for it to stay in overnight anyway.

Two pictures of trees coming into leaf in spring mean pretty much nothing as far as warming is concerned. It could just as easily be showing how smog has been reduced due to much cleaner air these days.

I don't really understand how your house can burn down due to a badly fitted liner particularly in an old house such as mine that worked fine for years with no liner at all. This "competent person" stuff is a real ripoff. I've heard of plenty of these folks with certificates making a right balls of the job.
-
Bought my liner off eBay. Good make and suitable for wood and/or coal. Fitted it myself (sent my cousin on the roof as I am no good with heights) From memory the liner was about £120 ish plus £30 ish for the fittings to hold it up there.
-
It might be but I still have never seen anything like it before.
-
Positive and admit that was my first thought. As said, there were more than one. The normal looking toadstool is one of several that I pass each day and have watched them develop. I was surprised to see them looking like this today. Not all of them, both pics are from today.
-
Seems to be an infected version of the normal looking one. Was not the only one.
