    cuddles

    Here we go.
  2. Sit on the branch and cut to the tree side Wiley Coyote stylee
  3. There'll be a picture of a 540 with a broken handle appearing shortly
  4. It's a good strong roof if it will hold a Mercedes Vito eggs
  5. £250 sounds a lot for an old saw as well. 038 magnum running saw finished on ebay the other day for £74.
  6. Swifts and Swallows were flying round yesterday but it's a different day today with low cloud and they will have gone somewhere warmer to hunt I think. I watched a documentary about them a few years ago and some Swallows were fitted with trackers. When the weather was bad here they left the young ones in the nest and were found flying over Holland.
  7. First saw I bought, Machine Mart Dynamac with a 16" bar and the cutters were like that. It's never caused a problem.
  8. There's vat to add on the JCB mower as well which I'm sure is against ebay rules.
  9. I doubt if the trailer is stolen, most likely he only stole some photographs of a trailer
  10. I bought an early Stihl 036, probably about the same era as the 028. It is different to the later 036 as it has no decompression valve but I recently saw a Stihl 034av super which looks identical to my 036, same capacity and everything. Why would they make two different models so alike ?
  11. Yellow hi viz fleeces are only £14 from sports direct via ebay and Screwfix has vests for £3.99 in orange or yellow.
  12. I asked about alternative chain for 171 for a friend of mine as his seem to blunt very quickly and came to the conclusion that he should have bought a 181 instead so he could use better chain as the picco micro chain does tend to blunt quickly on not so clean firewood. One tip when you sharpen the chain on the bar is to tighten it so it doesn't rock then slacken it off again after.
  13. Mine's not a Stihl but I bought a couple of cheap Ozaki chains on eBay and have had no problem with them, they keep a good edge and have not gone slack prematurely or anything. I bought 5 litre of Husqvarna mineral chain oil locally for £15 and it will last me ages. Oregon oil should be fine in any saw with a working pump.
  14. Russian vine is virulent stuff it killed a whole blackberry plantation we used to pick a few years ago. Honeysuckle grows in a hawthorn hedge I walk by and it never seems to do it any harm and it's been growing through it for a few years now untouched.

    Cuckoo

    I remember when I was a young lad my dad was a keen ornithologist and used to go out bird nesting. He took me to see a Reed Warbler nest he had found which had a Cuckoo egg in it. Apparently they are popular with Cuckoos.
  16. No shot Sherlick I'd be telling them to bring it back when it has. Probably never looked at it because it's never been a problem like if it ain't broke don't fix it instead of an ounce or prevention beats a pound of cure. Veg oil just provides a good base for the black stuff to stick to and helps it to bake on, a bit like old oven pans.
  17. Who grew this coffee ? Probably Colombians and we all know what they are like (kidding I don't know any Colombians)). I personally have a very small head and am of the opinion that head size is nothing whatsoever to do with intelligence or morality. I'm human and proud of that fact.
  18. Just lend him yours, he'll wash it after
  19. Bother, I was going to enter the draw to try and win his spark suppressor and now it's in a drawer somewhere. I'm baffled by the maze post as well.
  20. They probably have an office.
  21. He's from Barcelona.
  22. Yes we have to live with it till the next election and see what the Tories make of it. They already gave all the millionaires a £100,000 tax break and cut the NHS by back door means giving contracts to their contributors. In 2007 I had cancer and was treated within two months, now it takes me 3 weeks to get an appointment to see a doctor as there are less of them. Where do they stand on helping the working man, they are only interested in big business and banks and anyone who thinks they will do anything for people like us is deluded.
  23. Whose fault is that though ? You did have a 346 once upon a time.
  24. I've seen them at the swimming baths. When they got out the water level went down two feet.
  25. £48.65 inc. vat from Skyland according to their price list
