  1. How can you tell it's not pulling fuel through ? The bulb always has some air in it but it doesn't mean it isn't working.
  2. I just finished reading the Discworld series and read today that the author has died aged 66. Sad day and he will be missed.
  3. I had to buy my own sewing machine off the flea market, bargain for £5. My missus stopped me using hers to sew vinyl, leather and webbing and other heavy fabric as hers is a posh one. I've put zips in trousers and coats and made pouches and many other useful items all to my own pattern and folks have asked for bits of jobs as well like shortening and hemming trousers.
  4. I thought he was looking for something to attach it when using it after it's removed from the pod in case he drops it.
  5. It sounds like an angry wasp in a jam jar
  6. I did one called a Ruixing on a saw and one on a strimmer and they both worked just like original.
  7. I had to comment, it looks like a Goth aerobics class
  8. Retractable key chain heavy duty might work
  9. Depends whose version you want to watch. [ame] [/ame]
  10. Pendulum action like on a jigsaw would be the obvious solution.
  11. You could plant taters in that 084 pot 60mm bore that's bigger than my Lambretta.
  12. I looked at the Write saw video and I would be reluctant to use something like that without a retractable cover on the blade if it was on a lanyard.
  13. They probably just don't like Shoguns.
  14. That beats carrying by hand any day.
  15. If you want to see more of them you should get the bold carp instead of the coy ones My favourite fish when we had our pond were some little Golden and Blue Orfe, they were like lightning and always somewhere to be seen. They did grow big and slow down though eventually.
  16. If it doesn't matter where it lands treat it as an experiment. Is the cavity on the side you need to cut the gob (front) or the back of the lean ?
  17. And it let your hair get messy
  18. There was a 2014 MS660 £375 in Cumbria last week and that got pulled for something similar. If it looks too good to be true it probably is and a mint 066 is going to fetch more than £300 most days of the week.
  19. So if you lose a job, wear sunscreen ? And don't dwell on the past.
  20. I just fitted an 18" Stihl Oilomatic chain to 036. 66 drive links 3/8" .063 and there's lots of adjustment. The bar is well used but plenty of life left in it. I counted the links on the old chain before I ordered as well as checking the bar stamp. Is your bar an original or replacement ?

    I am back

    You'll be excused duties for a couple of weeks tree, don't make a meal of it though Best wishes for your recovery.
  22. Just tell them you were doing it on the understanding you got it all and if that's not the case you want paying for the job.
  23. My brother in law used to run machines for ground work and I'm sure he used to run them on red and pay the duty on the fuel in retrospect. I found this to cover a lot of the points raised. I just saw a local "farmer" who has a machine hire and training business pulling a 360 on a low loader with his Fastrac and have seen him pulling it with a McCormick as well and I bet Vosa will be all the names under the sun when they catch up with him.
  24. None of the chainsaw fuels could really be called green though could they ? They are still hydrocarbon fuel and part of a finite resource.
  25. I would think the gardener on the right has complained as the roots on that tree will be more on his garden than yours and it looks like he does grow food crops. We had a cherry tree on out garden five feet from the boundary and it still grew onto next door when I neglected it and I ended up taking it out as I respect my neighbour and his opinion and it was too big for the spot it was in. After I cut it down it was still suckering in the lawn two years later. I would take both out and put a something dwarf or columnar in a better position.
