I'd be a bit concerned about that. Nudge nudge, wink wink.

 

 

I thought that was the milk man!

I’ve got the jamson poles, bloody excellent once they wear they flex at the joints but some of mine are 6 years old. I quite regularly get 40’ of pole slid up a tree, you need a second pair of hands to put each section on as you slide them up!

Have you an echo dealer local? They’re cheaper than stihl/husky but equal value for money with parts back up. A stihl 181. Will do all you require bit a little bigger would be far more pleasant to use imo. More importantly put the time into learning to sharpen properly, a small saw needs to be spot on to get the best from it. 

get a room and stop flirting in public, the pair of you are putting me off my cyder 🫣

I bumped into a lad I went to school with in cape town airport once, it’s a strange old world

Cheltenham?

Nar Hanoi!

Have you got a multi meter? If you have check the batt has power, run a wire to the Solinoid on the pump then flash the starter with a screwdriver. This will get it to run, (need to disconnect the wire to the pump to stop it) once you have it back to the yard the problem will only seem half as bad. 
 

edit: just realised I’m 2 days late 🤦‍♂️ did you get it going or have you

Set fire to it?

When we were in nam we used to do the yard of ale but due to a lack of ale we used napalm, to this day I’ve still got firey farts

Heat gun to melt the wax?

Just needs shutting down entirely, the ****************wittery is spreading across the forum like a cancer…

Unfortunately like a cancer it will eventually kill its host. Lots of members with good posts slipping away to elsewhere 

Fire has been going daily since winter. But that does include heating our water and cooking. For us its cheaper to burn wood then switch over to gas

Never heard of it, I do like country music though, just doing a bit of reggae, although I’m a Marley fan I do think there’s what ay better/older reggae singers. 

It’s on digital radio, never really looked into digital before but this tractor has it in and I’ve learned suffin new - there is alsorts on it.

I enjoy the mod bands.
Recently I’ve had absolute radio Country on in the tractor, it was on from someone else the other day and I’ve gone a week of long days with out getting board by it so it can’t be to bad! 

Once you get over the noise and get a impact driver you will wish you got one years ago 

If it’s silver leaf then maybe “pruned by a gardener” who wasn’t really a tree man/woman might of been the issue

You ok eggs?

You normally seem quite well rounded but the last few days seem a bit out of caricature more bad egg than good egg.

Oi less of the little! 

They are generally not long lived trees in the bigger picture. I wouldn’t stress to much unless it has an expensive item in striking distance should it fail. If the rot gets dramatically worse then yes try to reduce below the damage or if all else fails they will coppice most of the time  (coppice - cut it down to ground level and allow it to regrow)

So I see farage is now the leader of reform uk, probably going to upset a few people 

I would like to see them do well, not because I agree with all they say but they seem to be less shit than any viable alternative. The main parties need a rocket inserting to make them realise they need to work in the interests of us lot more. 

Indeed, I herd a kid asking there mum if Tesco milk tasted different to Sainsbury’s milk the other week 🤦‍♂️

We have a set of them, brilliant bit of kit until you try to move a aluminium clad welfare unit 🤦‍♂️

Wow that’s a work of art. Good effort I doff my cap to you Sir 

That’s a rare very good quality old saw.

A little boy and a little girl were peering down each other's pants. The little boy mocked the little girl for not having anything to see.
She fled indoors in floods of tears, leaving one very smug boy.
Two minutes later the little girl came back out, grinning broadly. "Why're you so pleased?" said the little boy.
" 'Cos my mum says when I grow up, I can have as many of those as I want!"

Our teacher asked what my favorite animal was, and I said, "Fried chicken." She said I wasn't funny, but she couldn't have been right, because everyone else laughed. My parents told me to always tell the truth. I did. Fried chicken is my favorite animal. I told my dad what happened, and he said my teacher was probably a member of PETA. He said they love animals very much. I do, too. Especially chicken, pork and beef. Anyway, my teacher sent me to the principal's office. I told him what happened, and he laughed, too. Then he told me not to do it again.

The next day in class my teacher asked me what my favorite live animal was. I told her it was chicken. She asked me why, so I told her it was because you could make them into fried chicken.

She sent me back to the principal's office. He laughed, and told me not to do it again.

I don't understand. My parents taught me to be honest, but my teacher doesn't like it when I am.

Today, my teacher asked us to tell her what famous person we admire most. I told her, "Colonel Sanders." Guess where I am now...
