Scenic Caves on the Niagara Escarpment
Mick Dempsey replied to Ontario Firewood Resource's topic in The Lounge
He’s trying to build subscribers to his YouTube channel so he can fight Logan Paul for a chance to appear on Strictly Come Dancing. -
Saw that earlier, very apposite.

You haven’t a clue, but nice try.

Certainly looked more coherent, Walker did well against Mbappé, Kane excellent (apart from..) Change luck for belief and I think you’re closer.

When I finished playing for the village they dragged me out to referee a couple of matches when they didn’t have an available ref. One match was ok, the next was a nightmare, the opposing team constantly accusing me of bias, the manager coming on to the pitch to confront me, all in an effort to get me to abandon the match. I was harangued especially by one player openly insulting me. When I blew the final whistle I confronted him (in an aggressive manner) and all of a sudden he didn’t want to know, walked off ignoring me. It’s a very hard job, everyone who plays should ref a few matches. Pic of me in ‘94 ish

It’s a Pavlovian response when I see it. Anyway, no offence intended Alfie.

Took down a couple of magnolias this week. I was struck by these seeds in the ‘fruit’ Bright red, like something from a sci-fi film. Thats it really.

He wasn’t perfect, but we can’t really complain when we miss a penalty with 7 minutes to go.

Love a bit of crisp cold weather, bit of a rarity here in SW France, but a real pleasure feeling the cold wind around you head.

What do you do with the excess strapping for the leg loops? It has a sort of Velcro wrap that you can reel it up with, but that soon gets loose. I could just cut it off I suppose, but that seems a bit ham-fisted.

Therein lies the rub.

Let’s hear it for cypress/leylandii timber

Wow! -

I would have thought Leylandii would have fallen to bits by now, when do you reckon it was planted? -
Anyway thanks for the advice for and against. I went for this one from John Mason in Darlington, only 252 hours. I wanted a diesel and like I said to dig-dug, compromising on equipment usually ends in self recriminations.
-
Ahh, fair enough. I’m already locked in on one in particular, but thanks.
-
Reminds me of this meme.
-
Thanks, I’ve pretty much binned the idea of the petrol one. The internet is great, all sorts of advice/opinions, sifting through them to find the truth (or the closest to it) from those who really know is the challenge.
-
It is that. Same post, night after night, just rearrange the words.
-
A diesel 230, in good nick low hours. As luck would have it, I’ve been talking to someone since this thread started and I think I may have succeeded.
-
You may well be right. I’ve fallen into the trap of not getting what I really want/need and getting a compromise solution before. It always ends with me being pissed off with myself for it.
-
Cheers Paddy, getting a lot of different views across a country of platforms.
-
Thanks, they do seem much cheaper, perhaps that’s why.
-
Looking to get a newer better 6” chipper. One of these has popped up at a good price, I know it’ll cost a bit more on fuel, but will it match the 35hp diesel on performance? Which is frankly very good. TIA

No excuses, this is what we need. The old ways are the best.
