  1. The ladybird larva is there because it is finding lots of aphids (which are the cause of the problem) to eat. Let them get on with it.
  2. Not tree related but a couple of years ago a mobile crane went along the street opposite us and took 12 phone wires down before the driver was alerted to what had happened.
  3. Because they wrote it in the first line of their post Home user here and I bought my Husqvarna 135 from you. Helmet and visor with muffs is my obvious choice of PPE essential but I do wear bib and brace trousers as well and a pair of general purpose grip gloves. My axe is a car boot special with a polyprop handle or a Lidl maul with a fibreglass handle.
  4. Pineapples grow on a low plant like a Yucca. It does sound like it should grow on a pine tree though and looks a bit like a closed pine cone. [ame] [/ame]
  5. There was a pub called the Elm Tree in Clay Cross but it had no grounds for a tree to stand in and it's closed down now. Quite a few Royal Oaks round here too.
  6. Get your postage cost including the cost of packaging and add a bit for paypal fees. Send 2nd class signed for so they cannot say it was not received.
  7. That's how it should be isn't it ?
  8. Once a fortnight is not much for a lawn in the growing season. It looks like it needs scarifying to get some thatch out of it.
  9. 420 years 3 months 1 week 5 days.
  10. We use a quick boil gas kettle when camping and it really does boil quicker than a conventional kettle but I wouldn't use it on an open fire it's way too pretty.
  11. Tried to read it but kept thinking of this [ame] [/ame]
  12. I can honestly say I've never seen an air filter that bad before They have my sincerest admiration.
  13. Deutx, were they early Deutz models ?
  14. Just smear some Castrol LM grease on your silencer, it smells like Castrol R when it melts.
  15. How come you never see a fat vampire then ?
  16. I've been reading about ley lines and found this interesting along with this site showing that everywhere in Britain is at the convergence of three ley lines at least one of which passes through Stonehenge. I do like a bit of nonsense to make sense of all the other stuff, there has to be balance in the universe.
  17. Leylinedii ? Sorry, I'll get me coat
  18. We used Flymo when I was on the schools for the local council and we used to do steep banks using a rope to swing them side to side as you pulled them in. One bloke got pulled into the office for carrying one over his head upside down still running across a school car park because he didn't want to stop it and restart it.
  19. Good luck with your future career and I hope you are as happy as Larry
  20. Whatever someone is willing to pay is my answer to this. There are always collectors who will go that bit higher for something they really want.
  21. Are you using a phone or a tablet ? Next time if you crop the black bands off the sides of the photo then try uploading it it should come out right way up.
  22. Our local food bank is a joke. The people who use it save money on food so they can afford more booze and fags.
  23. Pickled onion flavour it will probably be hedgehogs, badgers only like plain or cheese and onion.
  24. I've just been watching random youtubes and saw this home made device which loks like it could be a good launcher for throw line [ame] [/ame]
