Depends how you look at the squirrel situation....... They both have their flaws and since greys took over the universe the wild bird population has actually benefited! Reds are more carnivorous than greys and eat eggs and chicks as a staple where as greys only predate bird nests when they get desperate

Dunno.... Robbery gone wrong I suppose ..... I'd rather it cooked than some scum bag have it
-
I've never tried it on a wheel clamp! But I always wanted too..... A steel tube filled with thermite will ignite while being cut with a grinder or oxyacet etc.... So in essence a 5mm hole drilled in the hollow arms on the clamp then filled with thermite could prove exciting it won't stop them cutting it of but when a kg of thermite catches in a confined area I wouldn't wanna be siting next to it lol

Sold mine for £400 about 12 years ago! Wish I'd kept it the buggers are stupidly expensive now

Great little cars! Spent years tinkering with these at my brother in laws company mostly servicing and tuning but he did a lot of project development stuff trying to find out what worked, I was always a Renault fan.... my first car was a 5 gtt then I moved onto clios, I've had a lot faster since then but nowhere near as fun as a little French hot hatch

I have a serious problem with kitchen knives! Depending on the blade it's either my lansky or a series of whetstones dependent on damage etc and for general day to day stuff ive got a few steels that polish things up nicely. I sharpen loads of friends knives I'm a bit ocd about blades they have to be razor sharp! Ive got a few zwillings and henkles but my wusthof are my favourite cracking blades for the price! As are Robert welch knives....... But avoid global they used to be good years ago now they seem to be made out of high tensile sea water which is a shame

First time they cut all the padlocks off etc..... 2nd time we Made the doors really hard to break into...... They cut the doors of at hinges! Third time New container Loads of locks and shrouded hinges etc...... They cut the roof off! So in the end we had some of those highway cover/ramps on the roof with a couple of empty chest freezers from the tip and filled them with concrete! Can't bloody win

It'll work! My driest wood is the stuff that's been out in the elements and then given a few weeks under cover, my log stores are made with pallet bases and motorway rail sides and top lined with old tree guards and then for the top I use a few old roll out boot covers from a Volvo v70 there huge strong and waterproof you can screw them down at the back with a weighted handle on the front, keeps the rain of perfectly and they were free from a breakers.

Used one on a few guns.... It's handy and saves a few quid on chucking ammo down a range trying to find the target in the first instance, it's not perfect as others have said but at 100 yards you'll be 2-3" of dead centre which is a nice place to start...... But remember to take it out before firing live

I've never had a problem with BT they've always been very quick at putting a line back up,and as long as I've called them when we've turned up on site and told them that the tree is unstable and WILL break the line then it's always been free! on one call out where a large elm had sat forward across a road onto a pub roof and ended up resting on a pole, we called bt and the engineer that turned up to disconnect used my stein lopper poles and said in future don't wait just snip them....

They are now growing Douglas Spruce in Iceland!!!
Python replied to TimberCutterDartmoor's topic in General chat
I genuinely called the tree officer out for this one! I was surveying parks, open spaces, cemeteries etc and wanted to know if I should plot this one?

I've worked on highways contracts for years and I've had 100's of people jump barriers, drive over cones, swerve round ground staff, I've had two drivers ram a traffic light so they could access the road! The public are a nightmare. I haven't really hurt anyone yet thankfully...... Although I wrote an Audi A4 of once with a beech chog because the driver refused to stop and I flattened a postman with a conifer top, my best Groundie would slap a stop/go board across the windscreen if they didn't stop which usually does the job!

Depends what you need a hedge for? Is it Just a screen? Will it need to provide winter cover? Wind block etc
-

Morus alba pendula- the weeping white mulberry

You'll be fine! I ain't no whippet either! I used to work with a chap who was an absolute unit and a TM fitted him perfectly
-
Nope, ya need to chase along the kerb as close as you can, gps will give you a rough idea but not close enough
-
I ran on winter maintenance crews for 5 years, The money's great but the kit gets destroyed! It was la so it wasn't little car parks....but hitting an inverted gulley lid at 35 miles an hour will destroy a plough! The hardest bit was finding kerb lines in deep snow
-
Yeah we tried one a few years ago on a 460 it was alright but I'd still rather a sharp full chisel! we were using it for levelling stumps along a big fence line we were assuming that the stems had ingested grit, stones, chain link etc but every time I hit a bit of wire it sheared a cutter or two off so it only lasted a day or two

They prefer a lead based diet in my experience

That's the compromise I guess with a harness that is highly adaptable with replaceable everything's
