  1. I don't believe HSE would strip a saw down and if they did how would they know it the ports were 1/4" oversize or the wrong shape ? If the brake works and the chain catcher is on there it's all good.
  2. The ants farm the aphids on the tree and actually encourage them, keeping the ants out of the equation helps to let the natural predators get to the aphids which the ants are protecting them from. They stroke the aphids to get them to secrete the honeydew secretion they farm them for, not harming them at all but more like milking a cow.
  3. I bet there are loads of ants crawling on them as well, our little apple trees got it last year and hardly had any fruit. Put some grease round the trunk this year and there's hardly any on there. What is on there gets sprayed with some diluted Ecover washing up liquid.
  4. I thought CIZZER was what you cut paper with
  5. Wickes sell these.
  6. You should see the problem as soon as you get the rocker cover off if it's a dropped valve
  7. I'll nip down tomorrow and have a look Oh no there's nothing left of Staveley Chemicals now it's all been flattened.
  8. I went past Milner the other day, it's on the way to the grandkids'. My friend is one of their best customers, them and Paddocks They do good prices on a lot of parts.
  9. What size bar would you need to ring that up ? It would keep us in firewood for a week or two, nice pictures.
  10. You need a license now to cart it about though
  11. What's it worth as spares ?
  12. Yes you can
  13. Or someone with a sense of humour making up a story to amuse us (which it did thanks), lighten up man
  14. I thought prunes were dried plums, is this a horticultural joke

    Any powered cutting tool is best left to do the work not forced through, you just wear stuff out quicker.
  16. Please don't let this happen .
  17. Is he wearing them on his head in the first picture, is that a Savoy cabbage, where are my tablets, is it tea time already nurse ?
  18. And the door knockers who are "not trying to sell you anything" as well. I used to have a sign saying don't bother but they still came. The other week I was watching snooker at 7.30 p.m. and one came to the door. I told him I wasn't interested so he tried to carry on with his spiel and then he accused me of being rude so I just turned and shut the door on him.
  19. Machines run better when it's cool and damp atmosphere as well, and it's been damp here
  20. I don't care if he wears a gimp mask and jodhpurs, I'll sign it.
  21. Tell the truth now, did you get parole or time off for good behaviour ?
  22. 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.
  23. 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 ?
  24. Did you get anything good at the boot sale though Jon ?
