  1. If it goes in through the plug hole why won't it come back out there ?
  2. Just leave the stubble till it's time to plough
  3. Mine are sort of pale purple, do they do a patch for them as well or only the orange variety ?
  4. Cheap saws have a bolt with a plastic sleeve which I suppose you could use on anything without too much problem as long as there's a hole to bolt through.
  5. It looks like he's having a closing down sale
  6. Cut a wide strip of aluminium from a coke can and wrap it round the piston with the ring lined up on the locating pin. As the piston enters the cylinder slide the aluminium strip down and off the piston. Have you had the piston off the conrod ? Make sure the arrow on the piston is pointing at the exhaust port.
  7. On Charles Mynors:- "He was called to the Bar in 1988 by the Middle Temple; and has been on its Estates Committee since 1998. In 2002 he was called to the Bar in Northern Ireland. " Sounds like he wants to lay off the drink and get some work done
  8. I hope you mean a photo of the tree There are a lot of those lining the local brook and they constantly drop branches.
  9. How fast was he going forwards when he went into reverse ?
  10. Keep a few pigs in the floorspace, that will warm it up and you'll get bacon as a by product
  11. Those are Pelargoniums, nostalgia ain't what it used to be
  12. A lad I worked with was on TOTP in 73, he went with the band Mud. He was a bit "flambuoyant" and was known to wear ladies clothing at times I preferred Hot Gossip dancing on the Kenny Everett show myself.
  13. Electricity is the way forward, lots of atomic power stations or build all houses facing south and fit solar cells on the roof instead of tiles.
  14. They will raise two or three broods in the same nest in a good year.
  15. They do it in different colours, one must suit you.
  16. Is it your own garden and do you get on with the neighbours ? There are usually local by laws covering burning garden waste like what and when it can be burnt. Burning stuff can upset the neighbours, another good way is to play loud music late at night or get up really early to throw bottles into the recycling bin.
  17. I was getting worried then but mine has swivel spanners in as well It's Bahco not Bacho These are on a par with any of the top price tools and I love mine so much they live under the sofa in the sitting room. This set was from ebay for the princely sum of £50 with about £10 postage and they are as good as any I have including Britool and Facom. I also have a couple of Kamasa sets which I have had about 40 years and only broke the ratchets.
  18. Most likely it was completely on one side of the boundary till it reached a certain size and has encroached on the other property as it grew. Does the neighbour put any value on the tree or is it an inconvenience to them as well ?

    There are Echo, Efco and Makita alternatives at good prices as well if you look around the net.
  20. Round here Ash always looks dead until long after the other trees have come into leaf and it is always the first to drop again as well. There are a couple on a local park that look in a bad way though, only half of the tree is coming into leaf and a big branch looks dead on one of them.
  21. Put a collar round the bottom to protect it from strimmer damage and spray the aphids with a weak washing up liquid solution, we use Ecover as it's ecological. Get your hands in there and squash as many as you can as it looks like there is a heavy infestation. We had some on our apple tree last year and didn't get any fruit at all.
  22. Any wood splits cut into rings. If it's left in longer lengths with the ends sealed with wax or painted it minimises splitting.
  23. Different saw but probably similar set up. My 135 when the metal cover plate is installed the rubber protrudes through the slot in it to seal against the bar. I got it wrong once and the oil was running out at the bottom instead of going where it should.
  24. Have you tried neat fuel down the plug hole, heat the plug and put it straight back in then try it on fast idle.
