  1. Predicative typing at it's beast
  2. Check that the oil pump drive is not stuck on the crank for the starting with chain brake part.
  3. Crisps next, we'll be running a poll on what flavour and ridged or flat and whether own brand could ever be as good as mainstream.
  4. I've done a YouTube search for hats videos and all I got was videos about hats. Put your link somewhere out I'm going to give up.
  5. At a newsagents ? Take it round to his brother Sanjay at the kebab shop he'll sort it for you.
  6. They weren't the sugar free ones were they ? Read the Amazon reviews for a laugh
  7. You can't type a 750kg unbraked trailer with a Fiat 500 either if it's over 50% of the towing vehicle's weight.
  8. Rust is an oxide innit ?
  9. Do you mean the spark arrester in the silencer ? Take it out and put it somewhere safe where you might never see it again it will run better for it
  10. The logic behind not running them out of fuel I think is that at the end they are sucking a lot more air than fuel so the mixture can go really weak and cause friction and overheat risking a lean seize.
  11. I had a bike with old fuel and it was the very worst I have ever seen. It smelt like someone had filled the tank with gloss paint and the float bowls were bright green inside with the jets solid with black growth. Luckily I found a set of carbs on eBay and swapped a lot of bits over or it would have been a scrapper. I swapped to Aspen for my saws because they can be stood for a month at a time.
  12. Cybernetic monkeys with Silky saws will be used for pruning I think. They are already working on a prototype. [ame] [/ame]
  13. If he employs casual labour and you know any of them make sure they know he is reluctant to cough up.
  14. It's called chequer or checker plate round here and most places I've ever bought it call it that. It doesn't mark up as quickly or a much as flat plate and if it does mark it doesn't show up as much. If you don't like the pattern ask them to build it inside out I've used it to make bash plates and various other items for vehicles.
  15. The only part of that that would take any time is the kingpin, the rest is just fiddly but fairly straight forward. I put new discs and pads on the Berlingo Sunday, cost £47 and a couple of hours work including 2 drinks of tea.
  16. Beech does keep a lot of it's dead leaves till the new shoots force them to drop. We used to have a lot of them on old schools when I worked on gardens and I liked them much more than Privet which would be an alternative here or Hawthorn which made a good dense hedge if planted properly but a bit too painful for my liking.
  17. 254 used to be the saw to have, like the 550 of it's day I believe. If a 14" bar is big enough for your needs why change ? Run it till you need something bigger then either get a bar or sell the saw as you should get back what you paid if it's still running.
  18. Years ago at a builders salvage yard near here the owner and his brothers caught a local toerag stealing the lead flashing they saved for beer money. They took him to a local railway bridge and hung him over by the ankles till a train came, he was not hurt but they were caught by the police and sentenced for kidnapping and some other offence and they too received "suspended" sentences and a stiff fine but they said it was worth it.
  19. Bikini waxing.
  20. So you weren't really in prison you were just there measuring up eh ?
  21. Being a gay cross dresser I find this post highly offensive and hereby request it be stricken from the records
  22. Do you think we'll ever hear from him again or has it eaten him ?
  23. Some bed socks would be nice. There's a developing Ash tree a few gardens up from us, another one was removed about 10 years ago and it took 2 blokes 3 days to get rid of it. It was massive and awkward to get at and we are getting seedlings from the new one now. They root in 30 seconds and grow to 4 foot overnight usually in the base of the wall so you can't get them out. Ash trees are nice out in the countryside but in an urban setting they are a pain.
  24. Too right mate, what's the point posting if people are going to disagree or even laugh irreverently. How do we know when someone hasn't bothered to post, telepathy ?
