  1. Hoisted by his own petard. Some of us farmers do actually look after our gear, and have little need to strip a chainsaw due to stupidity, neglect or hubris.
  2. If you did buy direct from Sweden or somewhere Nordic, I'm not sure if you can reclaim any VAT on the import as an end user. If you're using B2B it probably isn't a problem tho.
  3. Think I needed a better careers adviser 😉
  4. I'm not sure if I want to ask if it's hot bunking ?.
  5. Why am I imagining shower curtain style bunks. Easy clean as they say 🤮
  6. Just 5* cuisine and seamen 😉.
  7. Thought you worked in Norway, I'm sure the locals could help ?.
  8. Maybe we can get the live web camera feed from the dealer, where they point and laugh you out of the dealership.
  9. Look bud, I was polite, now go back to your safe space and have a cry over my non existent micro agressions with your NOW out of warranty saw doorstop. I've rebuilt plenty of stuff, never before it's even had time to dry the warranty sticker adhesive.
  10. I was pretty polite, I'm sure my nose isn't the only one twitching reading your posts and getting a distinct smell of oxon. I still call BS on your story and I'm not going to have a pissing contest with someone who doesn't have the common sense to take back a recent purchase. To use the word bully, are you five ?.
  11. Half the time I expect the workforce during filming to turn around and ask who they are.
  12. I'm sure it's something to do with being able to clean them without needing a ladder. Pretty sure it was on grand designs or one of those equally ridiculous TV shows where they want to build a mansion on the size of a postage stamp with the budget of a Sunday paper. Inevitably ending up over budget & pregnant, but not from whoring the wife out to pay for the overspend.
  13. Certainly worth a look if they can back up their claims, plus whatever additions the Scottish government also adds for you up in the frozen north, something about inward opening windows wasn't it ?. I've two projects on the go, commercial workshop/barn rebuild and then the house. It's that wet round here the woodworm and woodlice probably coexist to stop them from drowning. The water table is that high it literally overflows the well!.
  14. Bloody truck drivers taking foreign holidays.
  15. This story fails my sniff test. 1. You buy from a small dealer, who miraculously has a MS291 on the shelf. 2. You then take the saw apart, never in 20 years have I taken the head off any saw!. 3. You then take it repair elsewhere. 4. Do the details on the saw match your receipt and what year of manufacture.
  16. Can they be built to new build planning regs or would a hybrid be a better option?. Wasn't @peds a new build timber, not sure about the regs tho. Personally I wouldn't want a wood house, I've seen enough woodworm to last a lifetime to want as little wood in any of my buildings 🙂.
  17. Call your DNO, it's their responsibility to ensure a minimum clearance which I think is now 3m. Looking at it you might be getting a lot more light as loads of those trees are far to close for comfort.
  18. It could also be a failed water pump or fan belt, start simple but also ensure its got water and antifreeze. The antifreeze helps alter the boiling point, like adding salt to water when cooking.
  19. Think you need to get clarification as to if you're meaning agricultural land, a farm stables for example or business & commercial premises. As they are all very different prospects as agricultural land isn't usable for a yard, a existing stables for example would be however.
  20. I found it worked the other way this year. Brother and dad have always been named for ease of use, they wanted an extra 70.
  21. Well the article mentions the NT, but like @Stere and @richyrich have said. If these organizations are so committed to spending so much time and effort extolling the rewilding & climate change stuff over such huge acreages of worthless low quality grazing. It's not exactly difficult or expensive to start with a hedgerow and just make it wider at almost zero cost Vs trying to force smaller landowners like myself into sacrificing lowland fields.
  22. LV without doubt have always been reasonable. Full comp with business use on a Corsa for around £440
  23. I'll save you the trouble of a rhetoric filled eco loon article, we want money!. If they believed in all the stuff they waffle on about, whilst being huge land owners they could have easily started at one end and grew trees incrementally for practically nothing except the cost of a few saplings every year.

    HS2 Over

    Why not poll who actually want it!. Personally I don't want, need or desire to go to the London hellscape or Birmingham.
  25. Isn't that just a cut and paste of Jacinta Arden policy ?. Yet more government control over something the high taxation is already achieving, hence the increase in vaping. Which on the surface is safer, until you realise it's vaporising oil & propylene glycol.
