That's perfect Chris, I can put it back together when I get the gaskets now. It should be Wednesday so she can be back on the road for the weekend.

I can't speculate on how much profit you should make or need to make without some kind of insight into the size of your business and your outlay on machinery etc. but I have looked on google at the example you asked about and notice it is available from £516 inc.vat. to £982 with heated grips and carb and £862 without so either someone is cutting themselves to the quick or the high seller is raking it in when he makes a sale.

It's not a chainsaw or a two stroke but it's an engine none the less. It's a Suzuki GZ 125 engine whose cam chain had eaten through the side of the block and I got the job of stripping it and putting a new block and chain in it. I've been looking for a manual online because I want to know where the timing marks are and what to torque the head bolts down to (usually just plenty or till my elbow clicks)

I went a ride up Cromford on my bike yesterday and saw something that looked very similar high up in a couple of Ash trees. I stopped and on closer inspection came to the conclusion that they were not Red Pandas but clumps of Mistletoe.

I read it as, even though some people are sometimes gruff with others and question their abilities or methods they also have a valid contribution to make so it is better to put up with their attitude than ban or censor them. His name is Mr Bown not Brown by the way

Get your gloves and glasses on when you use the grinder. You use PPE for the saw and it's just as lethal.

He doesn't bite much but he's got a nasty suck on him

Our present freezer is a frost free model but when the old one needed doing I used to open the door and put the fan heater blowing into it for 15 minutes before starting. You could hear the ice falling when it was ready for attacking with tools. On the shredder subject I hired one from a local tool supplier a couple of years ago and took it back as all it did was turn the branches into loops that looked a bit like caterpillars. I can't remember what make it was.

Car batteries and metal go to the scrap yard nowadays when I have anything like a trailer load. Batteries fetch 35p a kilo and the last lot I took along with some steel in the 4ft trailer made me £26. Better than a poke with a sharp stick I thought.

That's very kind, tuck him in as well eggs

As kids we used to eat the Spiller's Shapes as well as feeding them to the dog. If you get a sudden urge to start licking your balls stop straight away.

I like the "your choice of weapons" one. I will have the pistols, you can have the swords.

I'm with Paul, has anybody tasted it ? It does look like it's hosting something, it would be handy to actually see it on a tree. I don't know what any of them are called but I do like to spot them as I walk round the woods.

Can you tell that from the smell. Sorry, that's Old Spice

Bouef haché en croute

It must have gradually diluted the original mix to a point where it was no longer viable 10,000:1 mix ? Just waft the bottle past it every third fill it should be grand.

Yep, a pair of walking gaiters over your boot or some leg warmers from your dance instructor.

It will be like Born Free all over again

Try him at half new price, he might bite unless you were thinking of pinching it off him

What else could you do to them ?

Is that a nasty looking bump on your head or is your head a funny shape ? Glad to hear you all came out relatively unscathed and hope you get insurance sorted without too much hassle. It certainly knocks you back when these things happen if you spend too much time thinking what could have been the outcome, best to get back out there and get stuck in again. All the best.

We've had a Hunter Hawk for about 12 years now, it only has a cast door the stove body is welded from boiler plate steel and is quite thick. It only has basic airwash system no tertiary air control but it can be shut down fairly low. We've been happy with it for what it cost which was £350 at the time. We found it at a local stove supplier cheaper than on the internet.

You are flat out on the revs before you touch the wood aren't you ?

I think he means tourettic, acting like a mad person

I was watching a honey bee today climbing up the window and thought it was the first one I've seen this year so I decided to have a closer look and realised it was on the inside of the window. I caught it in a jar and sent it on it's way as it was nice and sunny outside.
