Out on quotes today and there are firms (reputable ones) working for absolute peanuts. We can't and don't want to compete with these sort of prices. This has to be a factor in shortcuts being taken. Thankfully we're not short of work. No wonder this sort of thing is happening.

Pure Monty Python by the sounds of it

10" on the 150 and 14" or 12"on the 540 depending on the job.

Biffa in Etwall just off the A38 have a big composting facility. They take all green waste.

The Japanese trucks look like they carry it better though, same chassis as the 7.5t trucks I believe? Bigger and better engines too. Very nice truck

The problem with customising kit is that items such as harnesses etc are given a CE mark as a complete unit or system. If you change a component you are technically removing the CE mark. If that item then fails your insurance cover could be invalidated on those grounds. I've had the same issue with changing the rope on my zillon. Petzl told me I shouldn't do it because the system gained its CE mark as a complete unit. Hope this is helpful (from a Loler point of view anyway)

This Network is a particular favourite of mine.

Just to set the record straight. Muslim martyr..... Someone who kills other people (along with himself ) for his faith. Christian martyr.... Someone who gets killed by other people because of his faith.

Get a tapered head shovel underneath it and scrape away at it is best. Comes off a treat.

TIMON replied to David Humphries's topic in Fungi Pictures
Drove home tonight and found these on one of our oaks.

Levers in a working situation are too easy to knock. I know ART have taken this into account with the SJ3 and shrouded the lever and added the locking function. It will be interesting to see what people think. I will wait and see before I spend quarter of a grand on a friction device.

I managed to get some specially prepared absorbent spillage compound. Apparently ash chip is the best thing for this kind of spillage. 😘

Just managed to get it back to the yard.... If you can't fix it with a couple of ratchet straps it really is broken

Hydraulic ram on the mog 3pt linkage gave way.... Job was going great until now 😩👎

Nice work and video Reg. Impressive for a "quick" afternoons work.

150, 540, 346, 560, 441, 576 and a 330 Natanoko. (Got a gypsy stick somewhere as well but never use it)

Shockingly awful in the Midlands. More like March than the end of June. Even the coldest city on earth is hotter than here.

Wasn't that photo in MaxPower the other week? !

British Leyland. The golden years!

Just gutted Eggs. The sad thing is that the talent is there. It's just not getting deployed right. When Greg Dyke says that reaching the quarter finals would be deemed a "success" that just shows that the culture and collective mindset is all wrong. We have some great players. It just feels like they get fed a diet of mediocrity and it comes out on the pitch. They are capable of much better. Lions led by donkeys.

Kids in this country only seem to play on Xbox and play station . I can't remember the last time I saw kids playing football on the street. The football culture is all wrong in this country. It's hard to see us getting an England manager who will be able to inspire and organise our national squad so that they play as a team greater than the sum of its parts........ Like Iceland or Wales. There's no winning culture. There's no expectation. No belief. No sense of adventure. It's very sad.

When I read what the EU leaders were saying about Britain after the result I realised how much "respect" we really had in Europe so providing we can get a decent government in place over here I think it could be a good thing we've left.

Cos I saw the gospel according to Indiana Jones 😇

I think I do recall seeing it on your thread. Looks like the holy grail. 🙂

Thanks Paul.!Sadly it's getting burned. I'm seriously thinking of getting an Alaskan or similar. The lads that do furniture restoration could make some ace pieces with some of the timber we cut down.
