  1. That special stihl stuff is £56 per litre!
  2. Looks like marketing snake oil 🙂
  3. Sounds mindlessly presciptive. Anti fling properties isn'y gonna be much issue on I think on a 10cm & bar low speed chain. And makitas own brand oil won't be better suited than stihl or others just because its a makita chainsaw and vice versa? Not having an oiler makes the stihl on sound abit rubbish expect that from the cheapo ebay chinsese ones but would expect better from stihl.
  4. I use cooking veg oil on all saws including my makita battery one.
  5. Iv'e had plenty of chains loose rdm teeth never 4 at once though on a new chain.
  6. Missing the toast & beans?
  7. Green stihl HP 2 stroke oil dye??
  8. Was the same with the lecky bikes China’s Abandoned, Obsolete Electric Cars Are Piling Up in Cities WWW.BLOOMBERG.COM A subsidy-fueled boom helped build China into an electric-car giant but left weed-infested lots across the nation brimming... See China’s Abandoned EV Graveyard: Thousands Of Cars Rot In Huge Fields INSIDEEVS.COM A YouTuber alleges that some Chinese carmakers are using deceptive tactics to balloon their sales numbers
  9. So also a ban on some made up stuff so as to appeal to the red wall tories. Abit crazy but might work politically?

    How much?!!

    About £350 for a filling the aren't any NHS dentist left in Wales that im aware off so had to go private. Anyone gone abroad heard of somebody who went to latvia to get a filling? Id guess youngsters teeth are probably worse than ever compared to recent history? Google seems to confirm.... state+of+young+teeth+uk+news - Recherche Google WWW.GOOGLE.COM
  11. I tried sheets ok for small scale but a pain for example on mrs miggins near 100m long box parterre along the gravel path to the orangery. Just can't be asked to repeatedly move the sheets when a blower will remove stuff well.
  12. I like this theory:
  13. Blowers are excellent for clearing stuff off gravel just start one end then work along till its all blown off /piled up somewhere it can be picked up easier or it disapears under the neigbours hedge etc. Only time its a pain is if its to windy
  14. Good article: The Dark Economics of Russell Brand | WIRED UK WWW.WIRED.CO.UK Russell Brand has built a massive following on YouTube and Rumble with conspiracy-laden videos. He says the...
  15. Yeah they are shit.
  16. Well Musk & Tate also think hes being silenced by the wokerati 😏 So wake up you cuckoo sheeples! No doubt gary glitter is routing for him also?
  17. Happy with my hand held husky 525BX 2 stroke Better than the stihl BG86 I reckon. I looked into battery ones as have alot of makita battery tools but they had alot less less power & very short battery life.
  18. Makitas version has a proper oiler i noticed. Already have the dinky 18v makita topper so don't really see the need for one as any thing smaller can also be done with decent loppers or silky Agree about the safety issues bit like one handing a topper on the ground best avoided if possible.
  19. I tried some Waterproof gortex lined boots but hated them them as found them to hot and sweaty. Feet drenched in sweat due to the gortex felt worse than feet wet from outside. So back to dubbin or wet feet & if they when get wet from sweat or wet fr0m outside alternate the boots worn everyday and put the spare pair on the electric boot drier.
  20. Thoose aren't walnut leaves btw

    DHL

    Yeah often wondered about that seems very inefficient suppose the alternative is just have only one - Royal mail like it used to be ? Seems milage driven could/would be greatly reduced?
  22. Lombardini or Iveco?
  23. Killer Trees! https://safety.fhwa.dot.gov/roadway_dept/strat_approach/brochure/docs/FHWA-SA-21-022_Tree_Crashes.pdf
  24. This is like the new ivy guy? 🙂
  25. Yeah thats ideal i reckon this type https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/8RUAAOSwgBtkebLG/s-l1600.jpg Come in a range of numbers for different sizes Sometimes see thoose circular ones on tools also but ive never tries them. Suppose the smaller cross wedges coud also be wood though?
