  1. Was the roller clamping them down or was it rattling around like a penny in a tin can ?. Obviously a picture would be good, but I've had slivers on a TP machine when the counter blades in the feed aren't tight enough against the blades, so it wittles instead of slices.

    The usual one is 30 days with big companies or authorities, which then miraculously changes to 30 business days. Those now attract a fu premium for dealing with them.
  3. That poor DB just rusting in the undergrowth, the Meltham boys will be tracking you down for crimes against tractors ๐Ÿ˜‰.
  4. How much did the BBC/Us spunk up this year for the privilege of sending someone that can't sing live to represent "Us"?. Whilst he might be able to sing when it's recorded, every live performance is excruciating, I remember PSB at Glastonbury and it was equally dire.

    Obviously depends on the scale of the job, if it's a tens of thousands job. No deposit but a contract with penalties.
  6. I'll say 261 without any question, big enough for most things and small enough to not feel like lifting weights in the gym.
  7. Look bud, this isn't a pissing contest you want to have. Quite a few of us here have been in the firewood and farming game for longer than I care to think about. I may have many issues, daddy ones no. My general issue is the NFGiven to people that think they know better, I'm sure one of the other guys to reply works for the DNO at times.
  8. Well it's a three phase pole mounted transformer with the three cut outs on the side, possibly 11kv or greater. Sadly it's called knowing your stuff as obviously the driver wouldn't unload for a reason, or just an argumentative customer?.
  9. Damn it!, looks like it's back to the advert in the post office window. What's the phrase, know you're worth and know you're market.
  10. Is Sugar Daddy more socially acceptable because it's real world ?.
  11. Because in your picture there are two posts either side of the gate, that look like power lines and a grab can't be used within about 10m of uninsulated lines. We're not being dismissive, just world weary after 10+ years of doing firewood. We all work in a particular often redneck fashion as the one size processor doesn't.
  12. It's effectively microscopic so it's ok, it's similar to drinking water the levels of sand is very tiny.
  13. I know a machinist guy that repairs flour equipment for mills and bakeries, for a natural product flour is like pumping sand and eats all metal for fun. They do have magnets to remove the metal but yeah, I don't buy mass production bread.
  14. Yes, you need to also put it into context that the alternative was grit or steel and engines aren't going to like that. Walnut was a waste product too, so win win when your imports into the UK were restricted by u boats etc. I wouldn't be surprised if they also used acorns and similar hardwood to achieve the same.
  15. And why do you think they should cut down the tree, you can't really force them as the tree predates your house and your not even the owner yet. Until you're the owner I wouldn't even acknowledge or discuss it.
  16. Having not listened to much of the dialogue, is German porn dubbed so it sounds a little less like a WW2 POW film ?. Asking for a friend obviously!. I am here to fix the refrigerator or other similar pretext or is it more what the window cleaner saw ?
  17. Depends if Jake videos another body in the woods
  18. Maybe you were feeling all friendly and talkative? ๐Ÿ˜‰
  19. Why not just Google local training providers and ask them if they're interested in a training location. Regardless of the course I wouldn't want random people giving it a go, as you're the one ultimately that would get the stick from the forestry commission etc.
  20. FYI watching dodgy VHS porn is not studying a language! ๐Ÿ˜‰.
  21. If you've been you might think differently ๐Ÿ™‚. Once you gloss over the incessant playing of ABBA, you then realise your the ugly ducking but amongst a massive population of gorgeous ladies with less options ๐Ÿ˜‰.
  22. Whilst we wait for Big J, we can probably say there might be a niche but he did move to Sweden so that might reflect on that.
  23. It's not vocabulary police, the Americans especially buy cordwood that's stacked and has very little air gaps. Whilst it's a nice measure of the timber if it's all straight and consistent. UK firewood isn't, some people just chuck it loose in a bag and they get next to nothing, others like me treat it like Tetris so it stands up and won't flop over. If it's very loose you're maths is going to be a little out in bag numbers for a start.
  24. Is that because it's 7 tooth on the drive but you need a 6 instead ?. Or is the nose setup for a different chain sizin
