  1. I'd be more worried by the Cartman vest I'm 64 and don't have any tattoos but varicose veins come close
  2. No, how hot are you getting the chain
  3. We have nothing to lose but our chains If it's not badly kinked and the chain still pulls round smoothly after it's worth a try.
  4. I don't have any tattoos but that would be cool.
  5. Tesco has lots, peppered my favourite.
  6. My bite from Monday while out dog walking. It drew blood but I got my own back It sent my thumb numb for a while. Those corn flies really make me itch just looking at them.
  7. If you know the break is definitely at the plug end you can get joints for HT leads if there's room for one. Try unscrewing the old lead if you want to replace all of it and get some copper core HT lead it's cheap enough on eBay.
  8. It'll go higher than that with the right conditions 15' to 20'. It's tempting for kids to pull it apart and play with the leaves and stems and it is evil. Gloves and coveralls and remember not to wipe sweat off with the back of your hand the after effects can last for years.

    Basic PPE

    £50 from Screwfix, how much are your legs worth ?
  10. Bungee strap or stand it in a tyre, all been done before.
  11. Many years ago I had a bad snake in a council Land Rover 110 towing a trailer full of rubble. It was on a downhill dual carriageway and it was so bad it was lifting the rear wheels of the vehicle off the road. I took my feet of everything and let the steering wheel slide through my hands not trying to fight it and by the time it dropped below 40 it was all back in line. There were 3 of us in the cab and we got home a lot slower that day.
  12. Topdog and underdog come from dog packs where the top dog gets first pick of the food and bitches and any other has to fight for everything. The pits comes from the slang for armpits and means something that stinks. Not everything is about cutting wood
  13. There would have been a recall by now
  14. Tied with a three strand or T.W.A.T.S, now that's an acronym
  15. Those are not acronyms they are initials Acronyms are initials or syllables that make a word like radar or NATO. Just saying, not getting on a high horse or owt
  16. Listen to it under load in a cut and it will sound different. It sounds alright at that not racing and not bogging.
  17. No they don't I was refunded from ebay funds for an item that was not as described which surprised me as I thought it would have gone back and now I am stuck with a round table cloth when I wanted a square one
  18. My welding is just as good at home as it used to be when I was at work
  19. Would it work as well on fresh stumps? That one looked well rotted and came out of the auger on it's own easily.
  20. That only works for water cooled engines.
  21. If you can't switch off it's probably faulty wiring, just flick the choke back on Yes I know, I'm kidding.
  22. I just want to see a picture of 82 foot sycamore

    Tiny echo!

    What country are you in to find dry moss ?
  24. I can see the machines on the trailer, is Stumpy behind them ?
  25. Why would you put woodchip in the greenhouse ?
