  1. Just put up a normal fence and grow a hedge, enjoy having daylight instead of blot of the landscape.
  2. +1 spacers, unless you want to use solid metal instead of flimsy box section.
  3. I did see a documentary about landfill where they had sealed them in the 80s, nothing has rotted. If it was all getting incinerated I'd say let them re open and burn the lot, salvage the metal and glass from the ash. It was a proper documentary, not Dave and his VHS camera.
  4. Bit like cement, we've reduced the co2 to make it. Yeah by burning car tyres, which I'm not against for the record. Whilst at the same time you're wondering wtf weren't they doing that for decades as it's a fuel they actually get paid to take and use!.
  5. Thought it was a European wide category thing?
  6. I'd have to have a long look, but it's effectively down to contamination with other colour glass, as once mixed say brown and green can't be isolated or removed so gets crushed for road base. Plus i might have had the conversation with a guy from tarmac at some point about it too.
  7. Think of it as a bigger scale, but national milk bottle scheme. You reduce the variety of types, they get washed and reused upto around 20x usually with deposit scheme, maybe even have the same brown colour for everything including milk ?. Most recycling, is just pointless virtue signalling segregation especially plastics, the more you realise it's window dressing and incineration seems the best solution at source than export. Maybe get Drax to take it after every recycling centre shreds it and makes it into pellets, I'd rather it was burnt here than some landfill in china or wherever.
  8. Wasn't Priscilla more of a buss women's holiday?
  9. What about those Husqvarna branded budgie smugglers?. I'm a Stihl man myself, but I think even their marketing department draws a line at some point in the catalogue.
  10. That and never put a farm as your home address.
  11. That's the max bar length on your small saw. As a guy who processed 1000s of tonnes with a 18" 251 over the decades, you're pushing it too hard by the sounds of it. At best I might have sharpened 1-2 times a day, it's not a race so let the saw almost fall through the wood. Learn to listen to the saw, watch the chip size and how they flow, try to aim for an almost constant sound level without the up/down and bogged down.
  12. What bar length are you running?
  13. Don't think you've been allowed to use colour since the 50s. Harry potter used "dark arts"
  14. Whilst that's true metal does expand, but so does the bar. And it's a black art to get it right especially on a one nut 251.
  15. You don't want to run it tight, as it will get tighter as it warms up. A 250 only has one bar nut, but you should be able to twang the chain and see about half the drive link. Did they replace both the clutch and the drive sprocket ?.
  16. You might get a few more residents if you go old school scythe and black gown.
  17. Being a graveyard expect stone and things being crooked, what about a hover mower for the more tight areas.
  18. Pretty much, bitumen isn't breathable. It's like shed felt minus the gravel. Vapour barrier is usually white and has tiny holes, like a miniature string vest.
  19. I'm sure digital disappointment is just as dissatisfying as paper porn disappointment. Was discussing this the other week, online price for a MS261 Vs dealer.
  20. Rumour has it from my dealer that Stihl aren't doing paper catalogues anymore.
  21. Is this the point where you realise it's a Thai lady boy?
  22. Bloody EMO diesel thieves
  23. What you buy on Alibaba is upto you!.
  24. Those man traps have been illegal since 1827, with the exception of Katie Price. But even I wouldn't subject anyone to the inhumane punishment of her, I'd bring back hanging before that!.
  25. Remind me again when they first started doing that research and how much money we waste annually ?
