Please use the official notification thread egg It ought to be a sticky

I bet you go to bed in your new wellies as well What you having to eat that has sawdust in it ?

There'd be a lot of people short of a job or two on here if they did I've spent hours getting our lawn not to look like that but I don't mind some clover growing in it and the bees do tend to like it.

My daughter ordered a steel shed from Argos and was out so I was there for the delivery. I offered to help the chap with it but he declined. He opened the lorry door and climbed out and he was massive, about 6' 6" and built like a brick outhouse. He chucked it on one shoulder and dropped it next to the back door and went on his way. I thought I'd move it round the corner to where it was going and had to shuffle it end over end took me ages. At the factory where I used to work there were walkways, one lad decided to step through a draught curtain as a short cut and got his foot run over by a reversing fork truck Messy boot removal followed.

I have a Dynamac DY41 from Machine Mart from the days when you didn't see Stihl or Husqvarna saws for DIY prices. I bought it to cut down a Cherry tree in the back garden as it was cheaper than the quotes I got for the job (it was a decent size tree with 14" trunk)
-
If you could show the other side as well it might be easier to identify. Is the metal handle a chain brake or is it bolted to the top handle and just a knuckle protector like on early saws ?

I think it's called bravado Bill

We've had a few Burnett moths in the garden lately, they fly around in the daylight and look unnatural in their colouring.
-
I was given some Birch about a foot thick trunk recently and when I went to fetch it the woman told me her brother had cut the tree down with an axe. It was in a field so it didn't really matter where it landed but it would have been easier with a saw.

Is that bits not mbits ? that is dire We've been on Talk Talk for a few years now and I know some people call them but we have had no problems and only dropped the connection twice as far as I remember and never for more than an hour.

According to the bloke who came to fix ours everything up to the junction box in the house is theirs and they pay, inside the house is yours and you pay. We are on Talk Talk but BT contractor still maintain the lines.
-
It's on a solid shaft so it doesn't swivel round, a bit more controlled than a saw on a rope That would be more like this chap

I used to work on these at a boiler factory years ago, it was looked on as an instrument of torture when you were punching holes in boiler frames on piece work. If you were really going for it sometimes the counterweight flew off and it was like a bowling ball running down the shop floor.

Sun's out here now Jon, it was like we were in the middle of three separate thunderstorms. It lasted about 45 minutes and my wife's rain gauge showed 60mm of rain at the end of it. The rain was running down the street like a river and cars were leaving a wake like speedboats.
-
There might be some dead in the tree but there also looks to be plenty of green left in it too. How long have the dead bits been dead ?
-
Same here in Derbyshire now but it has gone so dark outside it looks like nightfall and just had a rumble of thunder, rain starting again as well and can see lightning through the window.

Eat them while they are still green, much sweeter then when they are dried out and brown.

I've met Robin Wood a couple of times and bought a knife off him. I like to do a bit of whittling and spoon carving and we use them in the kitchen when I make them.

It looks like the Roughneck flask our kids used to take to school but without a picture of Snoopy on the side.

We were in the tent in Shropshire Thursday night and had a two and half hour thunder storm from about two in the morning. Back home now and its tipping it down but not as bad as last week when we had 40mm in just over an hour.
-
It's one man operated and has electric start.

We've been camping near Bridgnorth in Shropshire for a few days and on a walk from the site into town along the river I was surprised by this mad looking face watching us.

He must have ties with Norfolk Ratchet straps are a lost cause with me, I need a knife to get them undone
-
I read they are a living fossil and have male and female trees and any trees in built up areas are usually male as the females smell rancid when producing ovules. They are alleged to live for thousands of years and to be the link between trees and ferns in prehistoric times.

Manufacturers use Torx bolts everywhere now because they are easier to fit with machines. If you tap the bit into them before you try to turn them they usually come undone.
