  1. If it's going to break the brake handle off carrying the saw with it it's not a very good endorsement. You should be able to give it a good whack and it should stand it if it's got to work in an emergency.
  2. That's how it works, the district council has it's own team and runs the local Rangers as well. They have everything you could think of including log mill, stump grinders and chippers. I like their open weekend at Elvaston Castle where they showcase their work and a lot of other exhibitors put their wares and skills on display.
  3. My wife has the same problem and the English language doesn't help at all. I want three volunteers, you, yew and ewe
  4. We all understand plogs talk on here
  5. Our parish council has a lad and dad who do odd jobs round the local amenities and I think they only have a Rav4 with a trailer, a petrol strimmer and a Stihl 181. They still get the job done hiring a flail mower and other bits when needed, plodding along at their own pace.
  6. I got some Dickies clip ons that look like a tape measure to hold my ordinary jeans up and they work well with good clips and they are wider elastic than cheap ones so more comfortable.
  7. We see a lot of Buzzards round here now whereas they were seldom seen about 5 years ago. There are also less Kestrels but more Sparrowhawks round here now, we sometimes get one in the back garden catching the blackbirds by surprise.
  8. Is the Holly one of those Willoughby species ?
  9. Snowing and settling here about an inch on the road outside.
  10. If Motomix is like Aspen I had to richen the L screw a bit to stop it bogging and turn the tick over up when I started using Aspen in my 135
  11. I've seen logs on an uncovered log pile sprout new leaves after a year on there. Cut it back it will do everything in it's power to thwart you.
  12. That's a pretty good sign that it was perished. Have you still got the old silencer if you suspect the new one of being restrictive ?
  13. Poppy will be down when she gets hungry and thirsty enough.
  14. How does that quote say aspenarb when spud just said it in the previous post ?
  15. I'll join your chapter with my Raleigh Chopper.
  16. Get mediaeval on it's ass
  17. What happened di it kill him ? I have a Chinese 25cc that runs o.k. with a bit of attention now and then but it's a bit flimsy, alright for little jobs now and then and it's not cost me a fortune if I wreck it.
  18. Is that auto correct doing it's job there Wick ? What make big bore kit did you use ?

    Battery

    A battery reading 12.4 is flat, it should read over 12.6 or it will struggle to turn a decent engine over especially a diesel.
  20. Elektra Bekum is Metabo now, still a good make for power tools. Electra Beckham would be a good name for David and Posh if they had a girl
  21. Can I just buy the labels ? I don't use that much oil but I like looking at scantily clad pretty women, they'd look nice stuck round the workshop walls and ceiling. It doesn't upset me thinking they were exploited I bet they make a lot more money posing than I would
  22. I've put a bit on over Christmas and New Year, 5' 11" and 12 stone 3 pound. I think age needs to be taken into consideration as well, I'm 63 and up to my 40s I was never heavier than 9.5 stone and have only put it on gradually as my metabolism slows down. I get about o.k. but could probably do with getting rid of a few pounds and being more active.
  23. A piece of pointed angle iron fell off a scrap lorry, went through the rear tyre wall of my car and stopped the wheel going round by wedging against the swing arm.
  24. Is this you Mark ?
  25. Where did you find that "fact" ? Greys are omnivorous and being bigger and more populous they obviously eat more so can you show me a reference to your evidence please ? I have looked myself and can find nothing to support this.
