Got one - 62cc 20" Bar. Works fine, AND other week (don't know how it happened, hanging on lanyard and non-locking krab ......... now using locking krab on the saw..........) - it dropped off the lanyard from 22 ft up - straight down Bar 1st - luckily into soft peat buried itself a foot in - still king out the ground like Excalibur! ........... still works fine! It may be Chinese, it may be a copy ......... works fine......... still working oh yeah it's cheap too!

Wonderful! Hope you didn't carve that intricate piece of artwork with just a chainsaw, as that would make the rest of us feel utterly inadequate - can't wait to see it in-situ not often we see such craft these days.

How preposterous! Truth is Truth - if you CHOOSE to not believe a Truth it just makes you out to be totally idiotic!

Couldn't agree more!

Largely rubbish again I'm afraid (in reference to Skyhuck's comment) if you want i could do a point by point 'takedown' but it's long-winded.

To Mountain Man - i know it is because of the possibility of any given person being capable of either at any given moment - just being tongue in cheek. TBH none of the politicians offer anything worthwhile so noon e for me to vote for - would prefer 'None of the above' option to let them know what i think of them.

That was supposed to be in connection with a quote by Mountain Man earlier but I got the Quote thingy wrong.................. oh, I can't be bothered now.

No it's not, its cobblers. It's what's called a false dichotomy. Hiya Mountain Man- seeing as how the comment was made by you, my first reaction was that you were right anyway as i was about to move n to next comment I suddenly thought "hang on a minute" .......... A false dichotomy is when an argument is presented as an 'either or situation', 'black white' thing when in fact there is another or multiple alternatives to consider. However, in this case you either "care about others" in which case you are not someone who "only cares about themselves" or you "only care about yourself" in which case you are not one that "cares about others" - therefore it is not a false dichotomy.......... Although I am willing to concede that the same individual Human Being can at different times fall into either camp....

Got no respect for unemployed that doesn't WANT a particular job cos it's hard graft, dirty or whatever if your unemployed you should take whatever as long as it's not exploitative.

Tom I'm not talking about MD's (used to be one myself) I'm talking about the 1% the String Pullers the ones Tories grovel to they are worth so much you can't get your head around it and they are not affected by recession s ever - a recession for these guys is just another opportunity to make more money usually at a lot of other peoples expense.
-
the Rich are getting even more wealthy during recession while the rest suffer - for example zero hours contracts, thinking it's good having east Europeans to come here and work for peanuts cos when they 1st arrive they do not have an inkling how much the cost of living is here - drives down wages generally who benefits - the ones now paying less wages! where do these savings go? the rich who own everything one way or another therefore they are getting more money than ever before therefore they pay more in tax (even if you reduced their rate by 5% - if left rate alone then the Exchequer would receive even more from the rich) but these are either (themselves - Tories) or their buddies so they want to reduce their tax rate whilst turning round to the rest of us dumb shmucks and saying "they're paying more tax" - simples really.
-
One thing i hear from Tories which i find irritating is that the top 1% are paying more tax when their tax rate is reduced, it is coincidentally correct - but here,s WHY - all the other Tory policies have the effect of taking a bit more money off the 99% and concentrating this money into the 1%'s hands. Therefore they are getting more money than ever before so obviously they pay more tax tax than before! That is why they can reduce the tax rate for them and still get more from them in tax receipts - if they don't reduce the Rich's rate ........ they'd get even more! It's all very simple really but sadly the 99% mostly don't understand this point and so we swallow this BS all the time - saying all that i don't think any of "The Political class" are any good - they should run the country for the benefit of the people but they all do it for the benefit of Corporate business instead.
