  1. More than that, that's empirical bro
  2. If that was the case using a car analogy wouldn't they charge more as your accident free driving increased as you would be inevitably increasing the risk every time you go out in the car. I give up trying to understand your logic and leave you to your empirical statistics etc.
  3. When did this become law and what I don't understand is your use of exponentially. If I go to work for 3 days (theoretical time only ) and don't have any accidents on the fourth day am I four times more likely to have an accident. I would eventually not go out if that was the case as I would be guaranteed to have an accident.
  4. Nice toy, when I worked at a local foundry we had a Weatherill bucket loader for cleaning up and it was good to get in and scrape the floor and load the dumper.
  5. It is a downer, what is it based on ? Are you exponentially more at risk each day because you didn't have any accidents the day before ? Wear and tear on the body shouldn't affect you till you get to the age where you don't regenerate or if you keep doing the harmful stuff instead of learning. Are you doing something the others aren't and not charging enough for it ? I don't think exponential is a very good word to use in this sense if you are not doing anything different you are not in any more danger.
  6. Did you get the fishnets and suspenders to go with it
  7. Take the clutch off and check the oil pump drive is spinning freely on the crank. Mine stuck on after it was stood for a few weeks. I pulled it and cleaned the inside up with 240 grit emery till it slid on freely then greased it and built it back up and it's been fine for the last couple of years.
  8. Try a stronger spring on the governor. As above they don't usually alter the mixture just the throttle opening. I've not seen one on a saw wither but plenty of 4 stroke lawnmowers. Is the saw flooding ?
  9. On the allotments near here one chap used willow withies for pea sticks and almost every one struck.

    One Drive

    On the bottom right on your taskbar there is a ^ that shows your hidden icons, click on it and one drive shows there as a cloud and you can right click and exit if that is what you mean.
  11. You should save your receipts.
  12. Portable like a radio ?
  13. What are you reading on, get a decent screen and you'll see they are his new orange chainsaw wellies with his trousers tucked in.

    Moles

    A friend of mine was trapping moles for local farms using these trap line traps and they are effective but if you are trapping near footpaths they do tend to walk he found. Also found that ferrets are very partial to mole meat.
  15. Happy new year to all survivors. All the best for 2017.
  16. Is that why they make cricket bats out of it ? I never managed to break one
  17. It's Eddie Izzard's hat, good reply though
  18. I buy a Sun every Saturday for the television magazine and crosswords plus we need something to light the fire with.
  19. A couple of blokes I worked with got in with a local pub landlord whose pub backed onto the Derwent and they asked if they could clear some of the bank for fishing. He agreed and they set to and were doing alright till one of the trees fell in the river and they couldn't get it up onto the bank so they cut the rope and let it go. A bit later they got a visit from Severn Trent who told them to cease and desist as the tree had caused problems with the canoe club further downstream.
  20. I like the way he hung on to the very end
  21. I've seen plasma cutters on ebay as cheap as £140 delivered but they seem to be creeping up to the £200 mark now.
  22. I'll buy (take the) 435 (off your hands) if it's doing nothing now. How much you want for it ?

    Felling wedges

    At the woodyard when I was a teenager we always made them and used them as splitting wedges as well once the crack was started with a metal wedge.
  24. I've had that on a few different sites including Arbtalk. I don't click on anything on the page just go straight to the reset button and restart the computer. A friend of mine clicked on it and got ransomware (they put a password on everything he had saved) on his machine and they wanted something like £500 in bitcoin to release his files. He had all his stuff that mattered on his laptop as well so I just formatted it for him. P.S. it's not your antivirus it's a redirect to a website that fakes your antivirus to get you to panic and can redirect if you click anywhere on the page.
  25. Burial would be a nice touch. I can't get over the nose sprocket seized twice and still you kept torturing the poor thing
