  1. Urggghh, Monday! Not feeling it today.
  2. I love this little scene. Watch David Jason struggle not to laugh at Uncle Albert.
  3. I’ve never had a mog, and I may well be shot down in flames. But unless your getting a very good condition one, or you really really need one,I’d steer well clear. Get some all terrain tyres on the tranny in the winter and battle through. Alternatively look at getting a proper tractor.
  4. Wordle 1,674 5/6 ⬜⬜⬜🟨⬜ 🟨⬜🟨🟨⬜ 🟩🟨🟨⬜🟨 🟩🟨🟨🟨⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
  5. Troops in Germany and elsewhere in Europe to deter the Russians, plus nukes in Turkey and elsewhere. The allies in the Iraq war. Decades of intelligence sharing on many fronts.
  6. I see he’s almost finished preparing the ground for taking Greenland. I wonder how those who’ve spent the last few years eulogising him are going to rationalise this. He has switched the US from being a reliable ally to more of an enemy than China. Sufferers of TDS (Trump Derangement Syndrome) were actually bang on the money.
  7. We talked about it, but to my mind Husky decided that that combo was what it wanted, so it should pull it with the 500 battery, so we didn’t bother. It would probably be a bit better, but what would that prove? I want it 100% if you know what I mean.
  8. Update. Went to the husky dealer and went through it. It seems the 300 battery I’m using puts out 9 amperes the 500 puts out 15 amperes. (Whatever they are) resulting in Mo Power! So ordered one, €700 odd if you don’t mind. Should have it end of next week. Will report when I have it.
  9. It’s my fault for reacting to your board. Best not look in future, trying to second guess is fools work.
  10. Wordle 1,673 4/6 🟩⬛🟨⬛⬛ 🟩🟩⬛🟨🟨 🟩🟩⬛🟩🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Strange how yesterday’s word gave so many of us problems. Racer was quite a standard sort of answer. I Wonder if when one person has problems, others think it must be tricky and try unusual solutions. A sort of herd mentality.
  11. Yes, agreed he didn’t realise the gravity (no pun intended) of it, but the pompier trying to explain it to him and the father's reaction after and his despair before the rescue is so real.
  12. I would want some kind of confirmation that it was a tropical hardwood before forking out.
  13. This dates from 2013 but I don’t care. A 3 year old falls down a well, and a skinny 14 year old volunteers to be lowered down to rescue the kid. In a world increasingly full of Ai slop and computer generated bs here’s real emotion at play. Seen it many times, never fails to move me.
  14. Good points, I’ll get back to you on those.
  15. Chains not blunt, if you watch the vid you’ll see the clean chip coming out.
  16. Wordle 1,672 X/6 ⬜🟨⬜⬜⬜ ⬜🟨🟨🟨⬜ ⬜⬜🟨🟨🟩 🟨⬜⬜🟩🟩 ⬜🟩⬜🟩🟩 🟩🟩⬜🟩🟩 Saw Doug’s and I thought “all I have to do is complete it and I’m good” So I was overconfident, wasteful and hasty, and find myself in the Dunce’s corner with him! For shame!
  17. Some small lombardies to take out today. Road plates over grass, to access the trees with Avant, client aware they’ll be some collateral, which is good. Weather dry after some rain last night, routine day hopefully. Hope y’all have a Good Friday.
  18. I have a visceral hatred of La Poste after they sent all of my original birth certificates and my parents marriage certificates to Tunisia instead of Ireland to be lost forever! Recorded delivery as well!
  19. He was saying there’s been more interest in the lower value products. Big ticket items, less so.
  20. Ryetech I think.
  21. The nightmare scenario for the right is that Reform and the Tories split the centre right/right vote leaving the door wide open for Labour to be re-elected.
  22. Update, frankly it’s crap, slower than the 542i, to my mind it’s because they put a different bar chain combo, they’re using a chain that needs the 4.8 file (like the petrol 550) which it cannot drive through bigger wood. the 542 uses a thinner chain (4mm file) which zips through. I’ll get a replacement sprocket/chain/bar put on, hopefully not at my expense and report back.
  23. My brothers up there helping his mate on a stand.
