  1. Oh there is plenty of dodgy stuff, but I seem to always find an actual dealer via it. The 46.15 was via a shop in Tavistock.
  2. When you've been splitting, you are using a full sized axe and not one of those camping type ones ?. I've split my fair share by hand and even freshly felled oak does split. Hardwood needs either a decent fire bed or at the least making smaller chunks to increase the surface area.
  3. You don't really get airlocks, bubbles maybe but you just cycle everything and they will clear relatively quickly providing you have enough oil. The t joins the two rollers together, so they turn at roughly the same speed and pull the wood in the same direction, as one roller turns clockwise and the other anticlockwise.
  4. You can usually find a few deals on fleabay for bar and chains. Just know your part numbers, two chains for £46.15.
  5. If you can't split it, I would definitely think it's still wet in the middle. Usually the only wood you can't split by hand when dry is eucalyptus, that's stuff when dry is like granite.
  6. What's the justified quote, meet a bumhole in the morning, they're the bumhole. If everyone you meet is a bumhole, your the bumhole.
  7. And unlike the echo chamber between your empty ears, maybe learn to treat the world with a certain amount of grey and learn to be a little more flexible in your thinking. Just because you read everything and take it as gospel, doesn't mean you should die of the alter of the BBC and MSM.
  8. Whilst chicken little might be right once in a while, making it out to be some a WW2 purge of the journalists is somewhat hyperbole. Take a deep breath and count to ten.
  9. Why do I now equate eggs as Lance corporal Jones.
  10. I still smell bs, just because you and your twatter followers have deluged the police and everyone else into capitulation. What's the phrase, never let the truth spoil a good story.
  11. Because I use the bs sniff test, if she was legal, show us a picture of where and at the time. If she can't articulate it within 30 seconds I smell something odd about her recollection.
  12. Sunlight!. No, I'm not ignoring anything and I said as much in my first post. Just because you are from the press does not give you free reign. You still have to operate within the law regardless. Break the law and your liable to be locked up, arrest and charged are also two very different things. As they are not convictions unless by trial.
  13. Are you really that world weary, maybe it's the lack of vitamin d from sitting in the bunker ?. It was reported she was on a road bridge, well how about details before you start screaming like a toddler.
  14. We can all bang the drum and say freedom of the press, but that does not excuse breaking the law. All the articles just say she was covering the M25 protest. One could safely assume that she was on the motorway or the gantry, either would be a criminal act unless broken down. You can't for example break into Buckingham palace like the nutter did and stand next to a sleeping monarch and proclaim freedom of the press!. If she was reporting from say a field next to it, that's different.
  15. If they're being a bit cagey, i think they stopped making them about 5 years ago. Best to get the details off the original petrol, you can then calculate a replacement as it could be a dual pump arrangement. If it's direct drive and no pulley or belt 3000 rpm X 12cc = 36 lpm. If you're running it off a tractor why not just adjust the pipework and put quick connections on the rear of the processor and use detachable connections to you tractor hydraulics. Keeps the processor almost stock and easier to sell instead of butchering the metalwork and petrol engine setup. PTO hydraulic will require shaft, gearbox mounting etc to get that flow and will get complicated very quickly.
  16. Do you mean for the hydraulic feed controls ?. I'm sure the petrol engine just uses pulley sizes to change the speed of 3000rpm but keep most of the other parts standardized.
  17. I'll turn the light off on my way out.
  18. The worst the MPs get upto is cocaine and boys by the hour. One has to wonder how you could do that to you're own kids, unless they were off they're faces on smack ?. Having kids is one of the few things you don't need a license for, admittedly that sounds very Chinese state control.
  19. Those cheapy plastic traps with a little dab of jam always seems to work wonders, had been meaning to try a tube of own brand cheese like Primula for convenience. Anything larger deserves a .22
  20. Probably the socialist bubble and a lack of reality, I remember watching something ages ago that highlighted the first use of the world trillion in USA debt. Before it was a number you could understand as billions are scary, but when you're in trillion all concept of how much it actually is disappears. I could probably buy everything within the M25 for a trillion and turn it into a scene from 28 days later.
  21. Remind me again, do they have a space program and nuclear weapons ?.
  22. There has not been a rise in sea levels, al gore was telling us decades ago that Manhattan would be underwater. It has not happened, same with his polar bears prediction. Yeah, changes driven by climate nutters and billionaires. I am pragmatic about the climate, but death cult extremists achieve almost as much as that perpetual truant.
  23. Maybe we should suggest to Nicola, to combat the supposed rise in sea levels. Why not use the hills to create a few more massive dams to hold back all the waters ?. Or we just dig a 30mile gorge one side of Hadrian's wall, we can level off the bumps in the lake District with the spoil and at the same time solve the sea level "problem".
  24. Why not just cut the ends off the spikes and plate it. Turns an old bucket into something useful as new buckets of that size aren't cheap
  25. Cmon, Jeff bezos went into space in a penis shaped rocket!.
