  1. I don't care if he wears a gimp mask and jodhpurs, I'll sign it.
  2. Tell the truth now, did you get parole or time off for good behaviour ?
  3. It looks more like he looked at it a bit sternly and it fell over. I did one like that in a garden down the road. He said he had a rope on it and so as I was cutting he was pulling and the blue poly rope turned to dust and the tree went it's own way demolishing the potting shed.
  4. Brother in law had one and it was a good motor but the oil pump ran off the alternator and the belt broke, the engine kept going so he did too Do they still run the same system ?
  5. Did you get anything good at the boot sale though Jon ?
  6. Birch tapping is probably as bad. Eggs are only unborn embryos if they are fertilised free range type. What about fish roe or caviar ? (not serious comments, eat what you want I'm not going to judge )
  7. Joe Newton videos It sounds strong enough Joe.
  8. There is a small wood near here which was varied when planted but it has been neglected and is now all Sycamore poles. They are nice majestic trees when they are out on their own but in woodland they are too much for the other trees.
  9. Here's what you need. Snag I see is the wheel wells will be in the way. If you lay a tarp in the bottom and up the front and tie the top front corners to something then drive off you should get a result but there will still be some cleaning up to do.
  10. It's alright he only uses it for stone and slab work they have a Stihl MS390 for wood cutting.
  11. I read on a few Stihl sales sites "not for sale to Australia" over the past few months but it seems to have disappeared now. Have people stopped asking or are they selling to them now ?
  12. I thought you were after someone to come and build it for you. (Polish builders) Sorry.
  13. You extravagant devil Jon. We stopped at a Costa on the motorway once and walked out again when we saw the price. Over £2 for a brew, you can get a breakfast for that where we live
  14. Here's one for all you Land Rover fans, it was outside the local parts shop across from our house. It's a series 1 but it sounds like it has a new diesel engine in it.
  15. Drill them with a spade bit and pour some stump killer or sodium chlorate down the hole and put a plastic bag over it with an elastic band. Whereabouts are you ? I heard of someone round here getting a grant to clean up a wood on his farm which was overrun with Holly.
  16. A car policy can cover a van not being used for commercial purposes, I was covered by the Co-op when I had my Nissan Vanette for my own use camping and pushbike carrying.
  17. A friend of mine has the old stone cutter that you could buy a chainsaw conversion for. It still runs great but it ain't half thirsty
  18. There is a rubber pipe missing from the pump up to the oiler slot in the cover so it feeds to the hole in the bar unless you have just shown a picture of it before you put it back in. Mine had got dislodged and was letting oil run out down the back of the cover instead of feeding it to the bar.
  19. I wasn't sure what one is so I had to look
  20. 396 years two months and 5 days I'd say It looks nice and majestic I like to see the old graveyard trees.
  21. That sounds ominous Cheers.
  22. I'd like something to take to pieces and be usable when I put it back together. I was only kidding but if it's a reasonable idea I would go for it.
  23. We've got a white one at the bottom of the garden and it's only just coming into bud ( North East Midlands here) and once the blossom has gone that is it for the year as the berries are set. There are a few ornamental pink ones up the road from here and they only flower once usually.
  24. Glad it's sorted, now has anyone got a 365 x torq for £100 that they don't want any more ?
