  1. But do they run to the chipper carrying brash. Anybody had a week on the club with a broken flask yet ?
  2. Have a look at Lambretta and Vespa double ended flywheel pullers they look similar and are available for less than that one.
  3. Did anyone else think the bloke on the saw looked like a certain pie eater's avatar ?
  4. A bloke I worked with years ago sneezed and slipped a disc in his neck. He was off work for 3 months with a support collar. He was called in to the office to see why he was off for so long and he said the doctor said he might never work again. The manager asked why and he said "the doctor says I'm bone idle. I knew I was idle but I didn't think it had gone that far"

    Pay

    Don't let your boss see this topic or you might be getting a drop
  6. The T screw is tick over and if you screw it out it will stop it ticking over. The H & L are set at what they think is optimal before the caps are applied and then any adjustment you can make is limited by the cap. Try turning the T till your saw ticks aver then turn the L anti clockwise to richen it a bit although it does sound like you have disturbed something cleaning it to cause the problem you are having. Did you catch the choke linkage when you removed the filter ?
  7. The chainsaw user was holding it wrong handed most of the time, was it supposed to be a how not to video ? I also think the camera man should curb his drinking till he gets rid of the shakes. They certainly gave it a good coat of looking at and the gob was a work of art. If the chain had been sharp it would have been a 15 minute job and why did it need the rope ?
  8. It's terrible when your memory goes and you have to put labels on everything isn't it ?

    My accident

    That gives a whole new meaning to the phrase p!ss up. His tattoo used to say Llandudno on it and now it just says Ludo I thought all the money you climbers are on you'd be in a private suite with air con Sean then you could moan about it being 22° not 21.5° I can't offer you any advice never having had a penile reduction (I know that was Bolam not you) but wish you a good recovery and hope you surprise everyone with your resilience.

    Because it's racist and defamatory

    Backpack

    Crivit sports rucksack from Lidl next time they have them in. I've been using one for a couple of years now and it is comfortable and big enough for a walk and a picnic and the associated rubbish I carry along. I think it cost £8.99 when I bought it.
  13. Just ask them if they want your landlord's number they hang up. When they ring up about PPI they always say it's about my recent accident and I haven't had one in years so I ask them if this is a threatening phone call as I am recording it for research purposes they don't like that.
  14. There's a good pdf that shows you all the sections on here.
  15. Just hung the washing out and now it's gone very dark. Hope it holds off for a couple of hours at least.
  16. When I had the old Kia Sportage I got stuck in mud and was up to the diff when I remembered it had 4wd. I put it in low and drove it straight out with no more effort whatsoever.
  17. I'd have said I wear my denims over my chainsaw trousers, that's why I look so big We used to have a window cleaner who only did bungalows because he didn't like heights so we sacked him when we got a house. A friend of mine had a good opinion on ladders, he would go as high as you like as long as he kept one foot on the floor
  18. I had one down the garden and used a mattock round the base to cut the roots then dug under it to finish it off but it was a fair size root to move. It was not so much when the soil had dried and could knock it about to loosen it.
  19. If you're painting all the lot it doesn't matter what blue it is. Just get a bucket of gloss from Wickes and a 6" roller, it's only a Land Rover.
  20. It looks ready for a trim but the colour is stunning.
  21. Money can't buy happiness, It gets you a better class of misery though
  22. Good job it didn't land on Spud, it looks like a Colorado Beetle
  23. I understood the electronic to refer to the ignition instead of the points and condenser and the quick stop to the chain brake as opposed to not having one not meaning that the brake was applied electronically just that it has both as added features.
  24. According to Bill it's 2,500 idle and 12,500 max. I don't know what a low speed is as my saws don't have one. The start point on the mix screws is 1 and 1 turns out from closed.
  25. I base my life philosophy on something I learnt from a box of matches. Keep warm, dry and away from children.
