  1. But just in case still do the Euro millions
  2. I made the jump full time into the business at 45. Buying equipment was like Christmas Day now it's oh great more money out of the bank. But it's the best thing I have ever done. My advice to you When someone gives you a chance of work is to show you appreciate it by being courteous to their customers, nothing is a problem and slog you guts out. Yep it's hard graft but Its worth it
  3. I know the damage on mine will be through abuse as it isn't part of the structure so so the only load placed on it is either being smacked on something or something smacking on it. And your feelings Mick I think we're spot on
  4. Hi Rob I heard the sugi lights for the 540 550 560 and 461 are just not selling
  5. As a late comer into this Arb lark I have heard lots of stories from my business partner about how much better and how much stronger the old ms200 is compared to my 540. In fact he's got one in mint condition. Sure enough it does fly through the cut but in the 12 months we been working together it's been in the truck broke for 11 months
  6. Ditto Ti and on my Mark 1 I've got the same crack but it's no surprise as it has been right royally hammered. So when it gives up the ghost it will be replaced with the Mark 2
  7. Thanks Mark I been hearing that you need to bang the standard bar and chain away and replace with the 150 B&C which to be honest seemed a bit of faff to go through.
  8. Is the bar and chain the same as on the 2510 or have they changed it to the same set up as the stihl 150
  9. I didn't think that went on anymore oh apart from when you come down to the millennium stadium and beat us
  10. As above. You may be driven out of your home or even have to find refuge in another country
  11. I picked up the 360 at the Arb show and gave it a little shake around to see how it felt. The doctor said another 3 months and I may get 50% use of my arm again

    441 of 461

    I have never tried the 441 but having taken advice from the lads on here I bought the 461. I glad I took their advice it's a fantastic saw. As a husky man I hate saying it but it must be the best in its class
  13. Probably a good idea Ti and Wayne perhaps a little check that tent is one piece before hand may be a good idea( as you lie in your sleeping bag looking up at the stars thinking FFS where's the roof)
  14. No reply Ti. he has either taken your advice or he's fainted
  15. I'll change my order then are they doing steaks there
  16. Not another victim you gonna drag into drinking den of iniquity I hope
  17. Hi Stefan. I tend to ignore the keyboard warriors. My point to you is whilst it's very admirable to do your best to provide the best possible lifestyle for you and others by the sweat you put in, through experience, if you don't find a balance then all that sweat will be for nothing.
  18. Hi Dan I just had a read and yes it does look like it got a little savoury. If I am going to serious for a moment, then men don't do weddings, the dressing up etc is more of a woman's thing. But the WAGS put up with a lot from us men Ie. Chainsaw talk, Arb shows, cleaning up our mess we trail through the house and blowing a fortune on equipment (which half of it we don't hardly use) etc etc. So giving up a few hours and sticking on a suit is a small price to pay. If however missing the wedding was through fear of missing a buck then he wants to have a good look at his life. I started out on my own this year and when it's been quiet I taken the wife on a few camping trips. Maybe I should of been out drumming for business but the first time in God know how many years We have taken a bit of time out and enjoyed ourselves.
  19. If only I knew you 26 years ago on my wedding day to my wife no1. Not only wouldn't I of minded you not turning up, I would of given you a hand and saved myself a fortune
  20. That's if UPS remember where they put your parcel
  21. Thanks for that eggs I forgot a roundtoit in my list
  22. One that's long enough to lean on without causing RSI to your shoulder eggs
