I agree, it must be a generational thing and a bit too slow for fast living iphone generation! But " half way up I met the branch coming down, and received a severe blow to my arm I was now swinging out from the tree. When I reached the limit of my swing I was heading towards the branch again. Halfway through the swing I met the branch once more and received a severe blow to my shin I slid to the ground and must have taken leave of my senses as I let go of the rope The branch was now heavier than the rope and came down and gave me a severe blow to my head Many small pieces of broken branch fell around me and landing on them caused many lacerations. I may be late for work tomorrow! "

I think that you have to allow for the fact that there are fifty years between Gerard Hoffnung's 1958 original classic and the Corries version!

1950. It has been converted to petrol now from petrol/paraffin The only unoriginal bit is the small frame I welded up to stop the linkage sinking with a mower on the back. Completely removable though. Original Fergie spanner. Where did it live when new?

Queen's Fergie

Excellent video, excellent music and excellent Fergies......especially the V8!

Beautiful to behold! We have a Little Grey Fergie father bought in 1960. Petrol/paraffin. Looked in the log book the other day and found that the second owner was none other than H.M. The Queen Sandringham Estates and the logbook was signed by one Major Billy Fellowes the land agent and father of Sir Robert Fellowes who married Princess Diana's sister Jane. Perhaps the Queen was a bit hard up in 1950 so she had to buy a secondhand one! Apparently it is only on the Sandringham Estate that the Queen appears in the logbook as she owns it privately. The Rolls and other limos come under the Royal Household or Duchy of Cornwall. The little fella still does the occasional day's work grass mowing in tighter areas with low branches Your little fellas look very well cared for! Respect!

Obviously let him spend the night together, got some girlie action followed by some satisfaction! This could be the last time!

Well I picked up all the pieces that made my saw blunt Might even find it full of sand Cos' he's a Voodoo Stihl Lord knows he's got Voodoo Stihl

I am not familiar with the 7 ton but I know that this five ton Portek has no hydraulics or hydraulic ram on it. It is all electric, electric motor and kinetic flywheels. I have tested it on some fairly tough bits of Elm that I could not split with my trusty X27 Fiskar and although it took two or three goes on the Elm it did eventually split it and never has become stuck in anything.

We have found it to be an excellent machine, well built and quiet. You need to be firm with the handles as the rack will sometimes kick back and catch you unawares if you are not holding it firmly. My neighbour keeps wanting to borrow it and I have trouble with him not returning it when he said he would which must be a good advertisement It does punch above its weight but we use it at home in our woodshed where my wife can cut smaller stuff for the Clearview Pioneer 500. She likes it because it is fast and quiet. I have mounted it on a waist high table and the splits fall into a barrow so she does not have to bend all the time All the bigger stuff is dealt with by the Palax 600 Combi. I would say that the splitting power is nearly as good as the Palax but of course with a fourway splitter and conveyor on the Palax there is no contest for output from long log to firewood loaded in a ton box.

The blindingly obvious solution to the problem is to ban internal combustion engines and replace them with renewable energy powered electric vehicles. Don't blame the trees, blame the humans!

Now that has to be wet as it is no good dry!

People who are waiting for someone or something to show them the way! I see Dave has put his axe to rest :sad: Breaking News : David Gilmour to announce retirement from music - Mediamass

Took a packet of Jammie Dodgers to discuss insurance over a cup of tea with the NFU manager. As I sat there I came up with the idea of leaving the packet of biscuits on his desk as a reminder for him in the current political climate Just About Managing My Insurance Expenses

You do not need a new billhook when you have me. I keep all my posts sharp and to the point I can talk billhooks all day long

Probably is private, but I was wondering if they were CSWs in the van. It may be that it is an anti terrorist unit and may be run by an authority like the customs but it was still over the top. It was absolutely clear that this was not an abandoned car posing a terrorist threat.

I have just been done by what I assume is a CSW. A ticket arrived this morning with a fine for £60 or £100 if not paid within 14 days. Last Saturday I took my wife to Humberside Airport at about 9.30am. It was raining and there was nobody around so I stopped the car on some yellow cross hatching which I assumed just meant no parking. my wife jumped out and took her suitcase out shut the boot and headed off to the terminal grateful for not having to walk a long way from the car park in the rain. This operation was recorded by three hand held cameras and took precisely 32 seconds, I never left the drivers seat and went on through to the car park via the barrier which was only about thirty yards from the cross hatching, Of course I stopped there for a similar amount of time to retrieve the ticket. This was a fairly officious piece of work and I would put it on a par with being fined for doing 30.5 mph in a 30 limit In the hand luggage inspection area there were hardly any passengers and my wife was last in the line. In fact there were more officials than passengers. I put one foot over the line to kiss her goodbye and some other officious git came over and told me to move my foot back across the line. Not a good morning!
