I have an old Dynamac DY41 (had it since before internet days) made by Efco/Oleo Mac. It still starts and runs well although I replaced it as it was unreliable but then resurrected it with a carb kit when I found out about repairing saws (and emptying fuel out for storage) and cheap ebay bits.

It looks like someone has cut some girdling roots off it in the distant past or it's grown through them and they've rotted away. I'd sit under it for a picnic without any worries.

I saw a robbery at the Apple store in town and now they want me to appear as an iWitness. I signed up for yodelling classes and they asked is it just you or you and your old lady too ? I was watching two blind guys fighting and I shouted out "£20 on the one with the axe" and they both legged it

They reckon St John's wort is good for treating depression

Have you used any of it yet ? looks like only the forks have got any muck on them

Sigmund Freud had ideas on this, here's an e-book you can read about the ego and the id. Another about id, ego and super ego

The image came from pinterest originally done by school kids I would expect the paint to be poster paints they mix from powder. We used to put a bit of washing up liquid in the mix to make it a bit thicker.

Religion and politics, just ways of setting people against each other. If there was only one political doctrine and one religion man would have to find other things to fall out about. Stihl or Husqvarna ? If god watches me in the shower I'm sure she'll be suitably impressed.

My wife found this on pinterest and I was looking through the carving section to see if anyone was turning out anything as good as this. I think these school kids have got the market cornered though.

Mig is easiest to pick up, have a look on mig-welding u.k. at the tutorial section. A friend of mine says you could teach monkey to mig in 30 minutes. Chucky2009 is annoying, I'd rather watch Jody on welding tips and tricks, he has a few mig basics videos.

A friend of mine lost his right index finger at the first knuckle using a farm splitter which is basically a JCB leg ram fastened to a girder. It needs two to operate as the controls are too far to reach from the splitting end. An odd shaped piece of wood spun round and took his finger end with it while his wife was operating the controls. I've been down to the farm and split some wood with him and he is like a long tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs now. We will have to look at modifying it for future use I think.

Not Joe but I have a COM-TENS machine I use for my shoulder and it is quite good. I have a cheap Chinese ebay one as well, gives you a good kick.

You have my sympathy, I had cortisone injections (which were more painful than the condition itself) I dipped mine in hot water as hot as I could stand it then keep them warm for as long as possible, elastic support bandage tubes and rest them whenever possible. I found that once I got them moving the pain eased but anything touched the funny bone was agony.

The top layer is sacrificial so the fibres can clog the chain quicker.

Whose version of the truth are we looking at now ? So if we don't see it from your perspective we're idiots.

Could you take the exhaust off and drill through then fit a countersunk head bolt from the rear and a nut on the front ?

and politicians who don't want to lose their gravy train of pensions and expenses.

Every time I look at the title of this thread I think of something else.

That's when you use the other option, the brakes, but God forbid anyone should inconvenience the motorist. There are lots of narrow lanes round here and we get joggers, cyclists, motorists and horsists and everyone has to learn to get along.

Yes, that and good hair and you're on the way to a job as PM

Most painful part I found was when the nurse came to check the dressing after, she pulled back the sheet and laughed That really hurt. I was apprehensive because in pre op the bloke in the next bed section was being questioned and he had been the year previous and it had not worked. When the nurse asked him about his choice of anaesthetic he said definitely not local this time. The nurse came to do the questionnaire and as she pulled the curtain back the rail broke, fell on her head and knocked her out so she had to be carried out and another came to me. I had already opted for local and could not change it. We went into theatre and the preparation was about to start when the power went off, pitch black for about 30 seconds and everything went dead quiet till the generators kicked in. The surgeon asked if I was alright with a few students watching and I agreed, I'm not fussy and they started by me lifting the gown them putting a sheet over and pulling my tackle out through a hole, painting it all with iodine (I had shaved at their recommendation) then administering the injections. The sensation when they pull the Vas Deferens is weird and the first side was done then the second was started and the anaesthetic was wearing off. The surgeon noticed me wincing and administered another needle and started to cut again. One of the students said "It'll not be long now" and I replied "I hope he's not shortening it". All I can say is, don't make someone laugh while they are tugging on your innards. The year after my wife had to have a Hysterectomy so we could have saved them a job.

30 years since I had my vasectomy. I worked in a factory at the time and had one day off work. It took a while to provide a clear sample which was worrying but it all worked properly eventually. The thing they gave me was like a net bag you get with dried peas, I was impressed because they gave me a large. I only wore it for one day and soon replaced it with a rugby support, jockstrap which was much more usable and supportive. When I had my hernias done last year and this the hospital supplied me with the same type of jockstrap I had bought myself years before so they have learnt something in the interim.

That's what you have a steering wheel for, to drive round things like that. Always face the oncoming traffic when on foot (unless there's a pavement then use that )

There is some determination gone into that. Sorry to hear of the theft and the damage to the vehicle, how could that have gone unnoticed ?

I've had a couple of £10 Walbro replacement carbs from ebay Hong Kong sellers and honestly can't see any difference from the originals and they have both worked perfectly.
