  1. Stère referred to wild cats eating polecats, you were referring to wild cats eating PM.
  2. If you’re on Twitter, follow this guy.
  3. It’ll be fine. When those bastards (teeth) start doling out pain there’s nothing quite like it. Wave upon wave getting worse and worse. I can only compare it to coming up on magic mushrooms, you think it can’t get any more intense then whoosh! A whole new level.
  4. In the category of small wins.... I’ve just had my first McFlurry in a year or so, my sensitive teeth would make that akin to torture before. (Thanks Sensodyne toothpaste)
  5. It’s better than the alternative! So what? You’re 50, I’m 58 our lives started and will finish earlier than people younger than us, just as ours were later than people born before us. We get four score years and ten on this spinning rock in the middle of an infinite vacuum, no point worrying that your allocation is earlier than others. Happy birthday by the way!
  6. Out of curiosity, and purely from a place where running a chainsaw and chipper on a Saturday would be frowned upon, why are you working on a Sunday?
  7. Yeah, that’s the video that came to mind.
  8. I reckon the knockabout is the best option for a lighter machine, it’s much lighter than a fixed grab, and once you get the hang of orientating the grab it’s amazing what you can do.
  9. The Klou fixed grab and the Knockabout bmg design are the best two for tree work in my opinion. IMG_0908.MOV
  10. Thought it all went rather well, had a horrible premonition they were going to drop the coffin on the steps and he might come spilling out of it. Which would have made great TV but ruined the day. Good send off, best that could be expected.
  11. Check the battery terminals, make sure they’re clean and well tightened.
  12. He is British, but he works on Vancouver island I believe.
  13. I’m too tall. I’m sure the French will find it funny though.
  14. I found the coverage a bit over the top in all honesty.
  15. Brilliant, prefer a 110, but then I guess his feet would stick out the end.
  16. That looks really well. My nephew is from Malton and he uses that phrase as well. I could have guessed you were from Yorkshire!
  17. That looks really well. Thanks, putting on Sawtooth wheels, new ATs and sign written, it’ll be the mutt’s.
  18. My nephew, it was at first... He can take the Ranger home to his flat in town, not as easily nicked.
  19. You don’t need to tell me about Defenders, my old one nearly broke me, I run a Ranger atm and will keep it, and have had Toyotas a Navarra and another Ranger. This will be my personal truck, and I’ll likely keep it till I stop driving.
  20. I know, I had one that I hated. But there’s something about their brutal functionality and styling that lured me back.
