Grind your stump in the morning!!!....... what a cute phrase. I'll try that on my mrs an see where it gets me. Haha Shaun

I did some 3/8 and 404. Both types the hook looked very aggressive. I prefer to file by hand and even taught myself to be ambidextrous to get angles and pressure consistent on both sides. The electric grinder is great for recovery of a badly hammered chain. Shaun

Not yet,but give me anemone or two an I'll be in a right sorry skate, prob even urchin down the bog. Oh oh here it comes...toad you so !!!!!!

Had a quick trawl through the 'net , and I can't finned any other forum with such a great band of guys. We talk the most obscure stuff, have a laugh, but also help each other when it counts. - love it dearly

;-);-);-)

Sensible member....I almost sprat myself laughing, fair tickled the cockles did that one. Shaun

I bet he wished he haddock'd . How ling is this nonsense going to run?

So what is it with treebouys and fish anyray ? Got to go now , missing something on netfix. Shaun

Boo hoo ,cry barbel

Its rapidly turning into a load of pollocks..... The moderator needs to put an end to this sturgeontly.

It'll net be same without you

Spinning that old line again, it eel end in tears !

Oh no....I've got a bass feeling where this is going. Memories of codwood for sale !!! Shaun

These things came out last monday in ireland too. See what appens when ya stay in Europe

Yeah , him and kim Gifford used to pass work too each other as and when it suited. Did you ever do the paintball ( madness ) for the Christmas parties? There were two long haired redheads. Rob our main climber was one, I, the other, used to try to keep all the kit running, did most of the stump grinding, and all the matador work.

I transferred to an irish license when I moved over here, but carried what I already had which was 7.5t vehicle plus 4t trailer. A spectacular deal which I firmly intend to hang on to. Steve Burkitt, my boss at the time, god bless him ,told us all in the mid 1990's to urgently lose and renew our licences as legislation was about to come out removing the heavier weights from ordinary use. Thank you steve if you read this for a trouble free life ( in many ways!!) since.

Cool, nice one.

That was my initial interpretation, until I stumbled into the area of what a trailer can potentially carry, taking it into potential overload. Seems like a whole load of over regulation based on what someone might do. But could still do without arguing the toss at the side of the road.

Hi all. A return to the old chestnut. Wondering if there's anyone out there able to give a definite answer to the minefield of towing regs. My situation is I'm hoping to save an extra ferry crossing from Ireland to uk, by combining a holiday/relatives trip with collecting a sawmill . The tow vehicle in this case would be a petrol freelander (later version with improved engine, before everyone says sell it !!!) Pulling my 12' ifor williams max wt 3500kg unladen 600kg. The mill is a hm126 woodlands weighing about 0.5 tonne. The freelanders max plated towing is 1600kg I think. My licence is the old 7.5 tonne plus very luckily 4t trailer. I've trawled through god knows how many different gov. UK explanations and initially everything looks good til I find the bit about what the trailer gross weight was plated as irrespective of whether its empty, part loaded or up to full load. From various forums it seems to very much up to which side of the bed the particular officer of the day got up from ! The alternative is to come over a second time at another €500 with my defender plus trailer, plus the extra time out of work. I can't use the defender for the holiday as I'm taking elderly aunts etc out for lunches etc. Getting em in may be possible with a tractor loader ,but gettin em back out certainly won't be dignified.

If the access is really only 3 foot, take the wheels off, tip it on its side on a sack truck, and with se7enthdevil to help you may be able to get it in. Let the oil settle again before starting the motor. Oh and don't fuel and water till you're on the other side. Shaun

Would it have made a difference if he weren't wearing the cap ?

There's so many things to learn from this thread, most of which I just needed re education, but splatterbonged is definitely my favourite so far. Thank you for a new level. Shaun

Christ my brain needs to take some rennie or something. I call myself a tw*t every time but I guarantee it'll happen again. !!

Bloody good placing of main part of the stem between the parked cars. If ya pullin trees with a truck/ 4x4/ winch don't stop pullin til its on the deck. Slack cable/rope has no control
