    Mafting! And hotter tomorrow.

    Things change, the only constant is change.

    Good for you, best of luck.

    In today’s (but maybe not for much longer) job market, bollocking less than perfect workers is counter productive, they walk, you struggle to find another. All employers are walking a tightrope atm.

    He certainly has more than a bit of the devil about him. Generally though, considering he’s a re-home/rescue, we got very lucky with him.

    Quelle suprise!

    Surely the macho stuff is what attracts people to the job?

    As has been said, an absolute bollocks of an article.

    15 dollars.

    If you’re worried whip it out and put another one in. Got a picture of the plant (and hedge) from further away to give some context.

    Yellow leaves falling off is quite normal, as is the odd one struggling. My employee sprinkled a bit of Blood, Fish and Bonemeal at the base of his new laurel hedge, seemed to invigorate it he said. I’d pull off the yellowing leaves and you should see new buds underneath. Give it till the end of the summer at least.

    Agreed, there was a guy who changed for the swinging hammers on the MO FB page. There was talk of the welded lugs failing. Can’t remember the details. I should try heavier paddles, got to get the plug in bit changed fro MO to Avant first though!

    You’re right to be wary. My Multione 9.5 (now Avant 750) runs a flail, results can be patchy, stuff like brambles, bracken and the like it’s excellent. Long grass it tends to just stroke down and woody saplings lose the bark and that’s it. Get a demo if you can.

    S’right, best two years figures I ever had, and I’m not alone.

    Wish everyone was as keen to go to work as this one.

    Love all three, but the John Mills version is my favourite.

    Be ready next Tuesday Pete.

    I start by holding it in one hand and starting it with the other, Three goes like that and the bastard gets a drop start, finger on the trigger, that’ll learn it!

    One of the last jobs I did before moving to France 2005, Woking in Surrey. Caught a monumental cold on this oak, 14’’ drain from a nearby block of flats shattered in the garden, turds and tampons spilling over the lawn. 5k insurance job. Still, got a pic with an 088 so worth it!

    Marvelous stuff, the TW, the Mazda? pick up, the spanner in spare wheel for the spout bolts… Is the pop still there?

    Another p100 in the background?
