Nice one. Sent them a tenner.

Have any of you got some old blunt Silky blades you would care to donate to me for a project I am thinking of? 300mm Gomtaro preferably but any will do as long as they are not broken. Happy to cover postage plus a few quid for your troubles. Many thanks in advance.

You make a similar noise either way.

Not even one post per month for 5 years? You need to participate a bit more than that if you want to influence the site at all.

In 2013 my apples were a whole month late coming into bud, they might do the same again this year if it goes cold. As a fruit grower I keep a close eye on the apple trees and what they are doing. Mild weather now might well cause them to show signs of movement but any cold and they will go backwards. Have not seen any signs at all of movement on mine yet and I spent the whole of the last two days looking.

Shall I send him round?

I spent a small fortune on violin lessons for my son. After 5 years he could play "Twinkle Twinkle", not very well. Wish I got him a guitar instead.

It is a coffee percolator but without the percolator in it, and it is sat on an old stainless biscuit barrel with some holes cut in it. I use it to boil water rather than to percolate coffee (which it was pretty rubbish at anyway) It works very well, better than a kelly kettle but it does take up a bit more room I guess.

shortcuts to cs30/31 for experienced user?
Peasgood replied to Chris Moss's topic in Training & education
That is where they have got you. Same for all these training courses and assessments (in all subjects/industries). The way things are going there are going to be more trainers and assessors than workers (if we are not there already) Why don't they fetch in CPC for car drivers? -
You don't?

I would expect rainwater to filter through pallet wrap and still drip on the logs. I t doesn't seal that well to itself, but still better than nothing. Under an overgrown hedge is good. Not sure why but the wind very often whistles through hedges more than a few metres away, and rain is kept off very well. Best possible place for logs apart from under cover in my experience.

You must have a lot of heat going up your chimney if it gets the stack that hot.

You can't claim willow to be the best wood to burn but it is OK if it is dried. I'm running my house on willow at the mo and it's OK, even hot at times. Surprised to hear it needs drying for 18-24 months cos mine was only cut down 12 months ago and is at 18%. Nothing of mine ever gets much lower, even the furniture in the house is 15%

Whose the most famous person you have worked for?
Peasgood replied to Barry_Skyland's topic in The Lounge
Duke of Westminster asked me to do some work for him. I turned him down, said he couldn't afford me. -
Which (compact?) tractor, to do everything on a smallholding?
Peasgood replied to sandspider's topic in Large equipment
Have to admit, you can get a lot more tractor for your money than buying a 35. They are not a budget tractor. -
Sihl one works for me.

Peasgood replied to sandspider's topic in Large equipment
Got a 35 here, had it from new. Brilliant tractor and still my first choice if it is upto the job. There's a good reason they are a bit pricey. -
I saw it on telly last night. Was probably BBC that showed the Police really battering some poor sod. Admittedly he was firing fireworks at them. It's not the first time either, they did it about 6 years ago

Does it throw the sawdust around as much as the pic suggests?
-
I don't like kids much either It was what worked for me, that was all it took.

Glyphosate but don't get any on them at all.

I just stopped. Two and a half years ago now. If you really want to stop you can do it without any book, tablets, patches etc. I decided it would be really tight on my grand children for me not to be around for them just because I smoked, so I stopped. It worked for me but it is a bit odd, I have one son and he doesn't even have a girlfriend never mind any children.

Bugger that!

In the original post the guy said they gave him the spare for him to fit himself. No labour cost to the dealer. The shouty man at the dealer then insisted they did actually fit it at the dealers and that it would take two weeks. In summary, the man was being a knob and that is what was in his cheek rather than his tongue.

I don't know how long the hazel will last but the bought in softwood posts seem to only last 2 years anyway. We cut a load of Leyland posts would you believe. These were 4-6" round and cut straight from growing trees. We cut a point onto them with a chainsaw and knocked them into the ground as supports for a raspberry plantation (just over 1 acre). The posts lasted longer than the raspberries did! I doubt you believe me because unless I had seen it for myself I wouldn't either.
