  1. Sun's out here after some really high wind last night and -1.5°c overnight. I might even go outside in a bit to see what's gone missing and stand the wheelie bins back up.
  2. With water is the proper way to drink it

    smart tv

    We got a LG smart telly a while back and there's a magic remote (their name for it) with a pointer you can use like a mouse. It was an extra £30 but it makes inputs a lot easier when you have to put passwords and names in, we did try a keyboard and mouse but it was a bit hit and miss. Youtube and iPlayer are good and you can get 4OD and the other replays on the internet bit so there's usually something to watch when BB and reality is on. It won't talk to my Samsung phone on android though.
  4. I was looking at pictures on a website in an email and this one caught my eye. It looks a bit overloaded.
  5. You can get a version of Wine that runs on Mac.
  6. Best wishes and hope they can help her get well, stay positive.
  7. It'll be like a weebls cartoon at their house. That Partner video looks and sounds speeded up, it's like a mad wasp.
  8. It looks spot on for climbing
  9. No but I remember a bit of flooding and some bloke called Noah picking me up, they are looking for him again down Somerset way I think
  10. People older than me then (I'm 61 )
  11. Gee thanks Pumping membrane is something I've never heard it called.
  12. I've just been a walk and spotted these two in a garden on the main road with mad growth in the middle of both trees, looks interesting. The one behind the lamp post has a split trunk which looks like it has grown back together.
  13. The carb doesn't really hold any fuel, it doesn't have a float bowl or anything and the diaphragm pumps the fuel. If some fuel is getting through and then it stops there is something wrong with the carb. When it's on choke the suction from the piston will pull fuel through but when the venturi opens the suction goes if the revs drop.
  14. What, using them as sandbags ?
  15. This one looks suitably dangerous but a gravity feed and some covers would make it an efficient tool. Could be an old cement mixer converted. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a0VKvYB4xss]PST woodcutter (demo) 2011 - YouTube[/ame]
  16. Well as an AA member I am going out to con someone into paying me for cutting down their trees so I can take it home for firewood and I am safe in the knowledge that if I break down on the way the aforementioned AA will send a nice man out in his yellow van to help get me going again. I could watch that clip all day, I've never seen a ladder almost double back on itself like that you would be almost upside down at the top.
  17. A friend of mine has a MS390 which would only run flat out no matter what you did with the screws. We stripped and cleaned the carb and it looked fine but fitted a carb kit anyway and it sorted it. Only thing it could have been was hardened rubbers or a microscopic hole in the old one which we couldn't see.
  18. I made a Transit pick up milk float back for a local milk man from 50mm angle with a Zintec top. If it had had sides in it would have been a chip box.
  19. It sounds like a Chinese Stihl copy sold by a German outlet, some called Baum agr are in circulation. Fuel caps and choke operation usually gives the copies away.
  20. I wear one as a balaclava, half mask or a scarf. They are versatile and functional and that's a really good gesture from them.
  21. Injector problem probably a bad spray pattern or one sticking open, get a diagnostic check it should give you a clue and the fault codes will need removing if they show up.
  22. Timberwolf is a name used for some cheap rebadged Chinese saws on ebay, alright if you know what you are buying but don't expect top quality.
  23. Bikes need a different set up because they have to operate over a wider rev range and different load parameters where a saw is expected to tick over or run flat out with no middle ground.
  24. Gentle or genital ? Please clear this up quickly before I explode from curiosity (Waxing is the preferred method nowadays I believe)
  25. We get that with 2 stroke mopeds and terrestrial freeview but not with the freesat via dish. Tell him to get some shielded cable.
