  1. Only thing I can say was you didn't put your Silky back in the pod while pushing the top off. That's something I would do and get told off for.
  2. Right I got the axe out the shed and the head is a bit loose, how do I check how tight it should be ?
  3. There's a cleaning firm truck parks across from our house for days on end with the ladders on the roof only held on with bungies and it always surprises me that they are still there next morning. Get some cycle locks for the next set and remember to use them and mark the ladders for identity although they can easily be painted over.
  4. He is in America talking about immigrants ? He is not a native American so he is from immigrant stock.
  5. I only have up to 16" so I don't know about big stuff but I don't like to be able to lift the drive links clear of the bar so I tension it so they are still a bit covered when I lift the chain in the centre of the top of the bar.
  6. Well I cast the entrails on the lawn but the dog got there before I could read them so it's anybody's guess. I get the winter fuel allowance this year so I hope it keeps fine and I can spend it on pop and crisps.
  7. Go to your MP, a chap I worked with had refusals to build on some land he had left him and the local MP sorted it.
  8. Video here of a six year old using a saw with some help.
  9. The ones we get now are recycling kitchens or telling me I "may" qualify for a free boiler. They use a recorded message so as soon as I hear it click in I hang up.
  10. Big bird like on Sesame street.

    Put some oil in the groove before first run if you think to but not too important if the oiler is good.

    sorry I get them mixed up all the time
  13. Explain to him that it's going to happen every year and it will be easier to cut it down.

    He's not going to be doing much any more, he committed suicide
  15. I got one like that but it's called a Bahco S87+7 6 point metric and imperial plus a 1/4" drive set with some swivel and combination spanners in there as well. I got mine off ebay for a bargain £50 plus postage I have Kamasa sockets as well over 30 years old and only broke the ratchet. I got a Stahlwille 1/4" drive ratchet off ebay for £11 should have been about £40 and you can buy any part of it separate to repair it.
  16. It gave me a dizzy spell watching it
  17. It's only little, cut bits off the bottom till it reaches the fence then cut it over the fence and pull it down the other side.
  18. It says you ought to be in politics
  19. That was when the F came after the numbers not at the front, I passed my test about the same time in a Vauxhall Viva.
  20. Wonder how many gallons it does to the mile ?
  21. It looks like a nice quiet neighbourhood, folks are dying to get in there. Good luck with the job.
  22. Try crimping the end a bit with the pliers so it stays in the slot, new bands are cheap enough though under £5.
  23. I didn't read it as putting a downer on a sale just someone putting their opinion over, I did find your post a bit offensive though. Criticism is standard on here but if you can't handle a bit of it that's down to you. If I wanted a particular model of saw and found a good one I would pay what I thought a fair price even if it seems a bit high.
  24. Careful taking those selfies, check which hand is holding the camera and where the saw is.
  25. Turn the L screw in to speed idle up, if the H is two runs out it will bog.
