  1. It ain’t shrunk, that’s for sure.
  2. The chain as a whole does stretch though doesn’t it? It gets longer after a few minutes/cuts. How else would you describe it?
  3. Every autumn I buy these for me and the hired man from the hire shop. The inner warmer smaller bit can zip into the outer rain proof bit if you want. We tend to keep them separate depending on the weather. €60 iirc. Chuck em away in the spring and get a new one.
  4. Resplendent in them on the sofa right now.
  5. Lost me Stu…
  6. It’s become my life’s work.
  7. Can you show us a picture of the truck?
  8. Much easier and cheaper to buy a tipper and get an arb body fitted.
  9. You can spend a tenner a day feeding and watering yourself from garages etc. in England, if you smoke tailor mades you can double that.
  10. It’s intended to make you angry, you’re being played.
  11. Ok, it’s a bitter pill to swallow. Hope you can move forward.
  12. Sorry you got conned by this guy, but c’mon why didn’t you put in checks and balances to ensure this didn’t happen?
  13. Give them a call. A busy bloke might just say ‘yeah, come tomorrow, big job on, could use another pair of hands’ Emails are easy to ignore. I started aged 31 in ‘95, your age is well within the range, even preferable because often you’re more focused. Good luck.
  14. Watch the vid, Jake explains the accident.
  15. Picea pungens glauca
  16. Wot me Guv? I never did!
  17. Ps, who’s been pronouncing it ‘kloo’ This from their website..
  18. Here’s where it really shines. Passing brash over a wall in a difficult access garden. Over 4 tonnes evacuated today like this.
  19. No one can really say. Cable it and rod it, nibble some ends off and you’ve done the best you can whilst leaving something resembling a tree.
  20. A hard prune on a tree like that, in a totally rural situation would look incongruous imo.
  21. I’d be more inclined to use proper cable bracing, you’ve got the big drill there anyway.
  22. I imagine you are. Sadly he’s lost his conviction and ‘skulked off’ to use his own words.
  23. You can’t leave us hanging! Tell all.
  24. Oh yes!
