    I thought that as well, but I can’t find such a thing on t’internet.

    @Stephen Blair what do you mean ‘auto hitch’?
  3. Mick Dempsey
    Only marginally, but they gave me back what I paid over a year ago for the 750 against the list price of the new one Plus this was actual footage of me when I saw @Stephen Blair’s 755i.! Seemed like a deal, new machine, upgrade blah blah.. Basically I wanted one.

    New loader and old loader 760 arrived today.

    Let us know how they get on.

    They’re going to get more than a sniff of it pretty soon. I’m so tired of people trying to wave away the collapse of the Tories and the governance of the UK into farce by trotting out the old ‘but Labour will be worse!’

    Mostly like this it seems.

    Turned 30 and realised I had utterly failed to make any sort of career plan. I had a guy I worked for who was an idiot who did the 10 week course at Merrist Wood, so I thought if he can do it I can (1995) Saved my money (around a grand iirc) and cycled there from my parents house every day 36 miles there and back. Scraped through, got a job, got the sack, got another job, worked there for a year till I had enough experience to start on my own. Then the real journey began.

    Important choices ahead..

    White birch.

    Zakly.

    I guess the moral is that I should buy my own timber lorry!

    Chip to a local sawmill who sells it along with bark and sawdust to someone for something (never really been sure what) Rubbish wood goes onto an enormous pile out in my field, where it’ll sit till it rots long after I’m dead. Good wood and mill-able sticks gets collected from site by a bloke with a timber lorry who never gives me as much as a bottle of wine for it.

    It’s a modern phenomenon I suppose. I speak to young people who find some kind of merit in this stuff, whoring their life out, building up a following, buying fake followers and likes, with the ultimate goal as a few quid or notoriety leading to fame. Most people would be embarrassed about posting these vids, but Sam here has a dream, and he believes it’s a noble one, and you’re a hater if you don’t think he’s great.
  15. Mick Dempsey
    No problems here atm, thank you for your concern.

    It’s ok, nice looking women, bit of music, bit of Saturday night entertainment I can at least watch with the wife. Went downhill when Brucey packed it in and they let that clothes-horse Tess host it.

    True, I hardly ever sharpen on the job these days, except in extremis. In a well lit workshop, saw in a vice, wearing my glasses is the only hope for me.

    Let’s all break into an impromptu singalong of Imagine by John Lennon shall we?

    Iran has been bubbling under for a week or two. Fire at a prison where political prisoners are kept tonight. Regime change seems imminent, or can they hang on? Key player in the region.

    They should have had a song from Charlie and The Chocolate Factory in movie week. missed a trick there. In fairness she is giving it a go, not pulling the sympathy card.
  21. Mick Dempsey
    There’s an element of that in the first few weeks certainly.
  22. Mick Dempsey
    Christ it’s such bollocks these days, so inclusive and pc. This fat bird using the death of her sister as a lever to garner sympathy is sickening.
  23. Mick Dempsey
    Not doing the wall or paving a lot of good either. Not sure what choice you have really.
  24. Mick Dempsey
    Christina Applegate was great in Anchorman 2 btw.
  25. Mick Dempsey
    Wow that’s so profound! My eyebrow is raised despite my best efforts.
