  1. 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 ?
  2. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. There's a good pdf that shows you all the sections on here.
  9. Just hung the washing out and now it's gone very dark. Hope it holds off for a couple of hours at least.
  10. 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.
  11. 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
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. It looks ready for a trim but the colour is stunning.
  15. Money can't buy happiness, It gets you a better class of misery though
  16. Good job it didn't land on Spud, it looks like a Colorado Beetle
  17. 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.
  18. 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.
  19. I base my life philosophy on something I learnt from a box of matches. Keep warm, dry and away from children.
  20. The dark bit looks like Mahogany. I like to leave a few bits longer and then if I get bored I can split them down and make spoons or whittle something out of the wood pile.
  21. It's overcast here so there was no chance of watching the eclipse but it did go cool and shady for a while, dropped from 14°c to 7°c and now it's brightening and warming back up. Nearest stone circle to us is Nine Ladies and it's not very impressive but you do get some loonies wandering round there at equinox.
  22. He died in 1997. He was more suited to life in water than on land.
  23. He does look a bit swishy

    Veg oil

    If you use veg oil does your chain cut cleaner chips ? Do you leave it in the saw when you are not using it ? I've seen bars caked in oil which has set and does it do the same in the tank or pipe and pump ?
  25. Two nations divided by a common language I believe the saying goes.
