Looks more like the work of sparrow hawk.

Packing up at 3 par for the course for us.

Congrats, lovely truck.

357 was a good saw, had a couple, though I have to say mine blew up rather too quickly, I could have just been unlucky though. Took over from the 254, replaced by the 560. In good order, maybe 300 quid as a working saw for firewood etc. it’s not a collectors piece. My 2c.

Slow day Dave?

You’re deluding yourself.

Some people have never seen a Ronnie Pickering video, but certainly should have.

He’s not going to, you have to accept that. You have no control over his actions, you do have control over yours.

You’re not wrong to ask the question. What bugs me is you ask it 4 times a day, peppered with insults across numerous threads. It is very boring and annoying and serves no purpose.

It’s a bit like we’re stuck in a room with a lunatic. It was funny at first but you’re just looking more and more insane. Nobody HAS to answer your questions, and all your childish goading won’t change a thing, it’s not the army or a court of law. If you choose to tell everyone one on here your affairs that’s your business, no one forced you to, others don’t, fair enough. You’re not making a principled stand, you’re making a bloody fool of yourself.

Mystic Meg has entered the chat..

Not far fetched enough. I want the worlds most powerful man and its richest arguing like 14 year old girls in the internet.

I just can’t wait for the whole thing to start again today. Come on America! Get out of bed.

Lad off today, so that means I am. Had a stroke of good luck (I think) this week. I have had an ever growing pile of waste wood, the size of a minor royal residence in my field since the crackdown on burning. Mostly oversize conifers, willow, poplar, you know the score. It’s been a constant niggling issue, I’m close to retirement and we will sell this place and it’ll be a bit of a minus to the sale to see this in the grounds. So knock at the door, young man (35ish) covered in wood dust. He’s one of the guys who I’ve been seeing around with the mahoosive chippers turning the local forests into biomass. He’s heard about my pile of wood, and not only will he come along and chip it, he’ll pay me €20 a tonne for it! He will not manage to get the oldest stuff I imagine as it’s pre-avant loader so smaller pieces, not grabable by his machines. But he’s going to make a big hole in it. Plus he says he’ll come yearly if I can get enough piled up. Happy days!

Trumpettes surely?

Musk calls Trump ungrateful and that he wouldn’t have won the election without him.

Well no, reading EMs tweets and watching Trump talk about it on the news. Are you saying it’s not happening?

Musk and Trump fall out. Things you love to see!

You said there’s a statue of an incestuous pedophile outside the BBC. The meanings are very different. But by all means double-down on it, it’s the modern way.

I wouldn’t go that far!

To attach myself to the tree when making cuts and organising the rope etc. But you’re right it was pointless.

Yes to both questions. I don’t own either, so tried it with the avant winch and 2:1 pulley system. Not enough unfortunately.

It’s not a statue of him, it’s by him. Try and check basics eh?

Had an ash to try and extract from a river (quite deep) Winched it out in bits, but couldn’t raise the last 4/5 metres from the root in the bank. Too deep in the water to put the saw in. It was a scenario that I had envisaged, so a deal was struck on the price. I retired semi defeated. (see last photo)

Not to my mind, no.
