5 shires

If your happy Richie Rich that's fine,,,,but whenever I ask you if you want to go have a drink after work and you can't just in case the demonds arise that to me is pretty sad,,,,we miss so many opportunities to chill after a hard days graft and the social side is always something that bonds a friendship...this is my whole point about not being to scared to have a drink..it doesn't have to be a drink feast and get rat ******...these lovely summer nights having a couple of drinks be it cider,shandy or whatever is a great way to finish any working day...like has been said before..we are only here for a short time,,,so make friends,be happy and have what you want when you want without any agenda..i.e..to get slaughtered just because you can.

I wouldn't give him a penny until you know what's wrong with it...I would make a deal with him that if it turns out to be a pig and you have to spend £££££'s on it offer what you think it's worth.or if it turns out it doesn't need much done to get it working top notch again offer him what you think..win win situation.

I think it's all about will power and personality...a lot of people I know use drink as a personality builder and to gain confidence...which is fine if you can control it..I really think it's a bit odd to give up something that you really injoyed having and to stop altogether..I know everyone is different but I will never understand why someone has to get completely off there head when they have a drink and not even remember what they did..my dad was a drunk and there is nothing worse then seeing your dad talking bollocks,slapping your mom about and all the crap what go's with a grown man being drunk. I wouldn't say it had an effect on me cause I like a drink but I know my limits and perhaps I,am lucky and can stop at 4 or 5 pints then go on water,strange but that's how I have always been and I wouldn't For on minute try and imagine what it must like not to be able to stop when you need to.bit heavy and I don't want to open up a can of worms about drink..just wanted to say that a little bit of what you like and or fancy is ok..life has to be about having things you like....???

F...k me Ed you think that'll make it up that hill in bath like your old little van did.:thumbup:nice tidy set up..

I must admit I deactivated from stihl to buy the Echo 211..only had it for a week before it got nicked..so can't really comment as I only used it for about 10mins..but the build quality was good but cant comment on reliability.

Used Robin hedge cutters for years until I had all my gear nicked a couple of month ago.tryd everything but nothing can touch them for power of waight..best of the best..can't get them anymore..think Marita do them now...brought Echo,s has I herd good things..but are **** compared to the Robins I had.

I had a funny moment the other day in TFM went over to have a mootch and brushed against a husky and went all faint......joking the side since I have had to replace my 200,260 & 460 with 201,261 & 461 I have noticed the difference in build quality and power...it may be just me but rather then solid it all seems very light and plasticky..not sure what others think ??????

It's ok...Timon knows your a secret stihl user...but we won't tell anyone...

Don't say that about husky top handle you'll have Richie Rich putting you on his best mate list...think you'll be number 3 or may be 4:laugh1:..you need to try 192t or 93t..

I can tell your beginning to break...this time next year you'll be asking me foe some stihl stickers...by the way how many times have you used your husky top handle lately with out it braking something...???:confused1:you know how accident prone you are...o and you have a stihl pole saw...you kept that one quiet

And he said...that funny,,,it sounds like a Husqvarna to me:001_tt2:

Yes...you are..you know you are..you can't fight it,,,just let it out.

Yes you can....just like AA when you are in a group meeting...you stand up and say..my name is Richie Rich and i'am a secret stihl admirer and user...you will feel so much better and relived after you have confessed.

He's a secret closet stihl user....ask him how much he likes my 192t:thumbup:

Oi Oi Ed Here is the phone number 01666 504216. Juliet Fenton.

Oi Oi Wolfie...give merchants farm B&B a ring and speak to Juliet..tell her Wayne has given you her name to see if she would like some wood chip...if she doesn't she might well know someone who does. All the best

Hi Paul as said before I had a great day at the show it had a good feel about it,not sure if was the venue or lay out but both were excellent and hope it's a regular venue I also think it being a month earlier also helped as not many people go away during May.i have already booked my B&B for next May 11th & 12th.

Yes I got mine from treekit couple of years ago,very good bag and have just brought the 45 ltr.

No mate it doesn't....but once you have the long handle all you need to do is buy a few rake heads of amazon.job done.

Yes AW there quality and come in 2 width sizes..light weight and strong.

You beat me to it..

Is that the same as Trigger...he has the same brush after many years and he has only replaced the handle and brush head 1/2 dozen times.

I use FISKARS and you can replace the heads

Uummmmm no.

Yep nice pictures john..and pershore collage nice place to teach.i taught landscaping there a number of years ago when Avon Bank Landscpes was taking on students to give them a years practical work after 4 years sat in a class room.And I would just like to add this....what has just happened to this thread is the exact reason why a number of guys don't post on here anymore.enough said
