  1. Now there's the magic words, same goes for the sound of whistling cords and a seriously overloaded engine when operators pay out way too much cord on a bump head, and thats before they attempt to start cutting. When I hear that ,I just want to snatch it from them and trim the lines down
  2. Its pretty rare is it not that a licensed gun owner of any sort goes shit crazy? Look to the unlicensed and the don't give a f#ck mindset, then try to round em up. Same sort of policing goes with motor crimes. The licensed and legal guys are the easy targets to control with minimal effort

    So does creosote. Love the smell and the tingle it brings to the skin ... ooh yummee. Bet its super effective against nits, fleas,worms and crabs.
  4. Hook em over the bed rails and walk your log up them from ground level, if you dont have a log deck or a loader
  5. Thought about doing domething like this myself once, but decided it could be construed as criminal damage. The much more discreet but satisfying alternative was a goodly dose of 34% urea nitrogen fertiliser at night, then spent next six months watching the poor prick furiously mowing his lawns, growing twice as fast as he could cut. Must have cost a fortune in fuel.😆
  6. Nah I was brought up proper. Kiss first , then tits, then you can get to vulva. Decorum dear boys, Decorum.
  7. Old ways are best, cheapest and most practical. A wealth of experience contained in one body. 😉
  8. Very easy to overstretch a non genuine circlip , beyond its "springiness". If I have to use them I try to wind them in rather than forcing them into a too tight circle, if that makes sense
  9. Why not take off what looks like another 5', to where the main bulk off the trees are? You'll still retain the screen effect and get rid of the horrid bare stems, and gives time for any underplanting to get going. You'll get new growth, though chaotically, and the screen will be undisturbed,
  10. .....however, you will have a wealth of experiences- both good and bad, a better understanding of how to deal with people you'd secretely like to just bludgeon to death, and the ability to say yeah I completed that shit of a day to my best ability. - Then there's the days when everything goes top class and gives the best buzz ever. Reward enough. 😉
  11. After getting all the kit for all situations, maintenance, repairs, f!#k ups, transport and insurances, you won't initially be getting rich working for yourself either.
