  1. 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.
  2. So if you lose a job, wear sunscreen ? And don't dwell on the past.

    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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. None of the chainsaw fuels could really be called green though could they ? They are still hydrocarbon fuel and part of a finite resource.
  7. 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.
  8. I'd treat it to a new bearing after that, they are only a few quid.
  9. If they get in they spam everybody with PMs like the one not long ago. According to the locator it is in China, Tianshui.
  10. Bacon rind is a good one they love it but rats will quite happily eat anything. They ate the carbolic soap at my mate's yard and they can live on cardboard if there's nothing else, Mix some plaster of Paris, flour and sugar and leave it where they can get at it, they eat it and get bunged up and die. I put it under a slab leaned against the wall.
  11. Looking at the situation, is the house a new build and the trees were there before the fence was put up ? I bet the neighbours both sides are happier now. The garden would look better with one tree in the middle at the bottom if you absolutely have to have a tree
  12. A very old Forsythia.
  13. It's all in here. It doesn't look good according to this document if the work you were doing at the time was not forestry related. Sections 8.21 and 10.
  14. Happy birthday, every one is a bonus. Did you get anything nice or just the trees
  15. No they then think they can go back to the original and say "he will do it for your price can you beat him". Always offer half what they are asking then when you get them down to nothing tell them you wanted two.
  16. Time flies like an arrow as they say, and fruit flies like a banana
  17. You'll be down at A&E later I bet. Yes nurse I tripped and got it stuck in there again
  18. Now just remember what caused it and don't do it again. Congratulations and all the best to mother and baby
  19. I bought an early 036 pre decompression for £120 on gumtree, it runs well. Why would I pay £100 more for 026 ?
  20. My air rifle is a BSA Cadet .177, it's older than me and I'm 62.
  21. Two things you'll get in a hurry, black nails and babies.
  22. I just got an email from Maplin and this was in it. You could put your iphone content onto a card or usb stick via wi-fi independent of computer.
  23. That looks like Poulan green to me
  24. Buy some more cloud space ? 79p a month for 20gig.
  25. To the final frontier
