  1. I unbolted and chucked the hook away, the lever's great though.
  2. Oh no! I've been cast into the wilderness, I'm not (and will probably never be) Dave's mate. . https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emotional_intelligence
  3. So six months later you phone him up and ask him for the winch back for the price paid? You're surprised he refused the offer? Talk about wanting your cake and eating it!
  4. Put your glasses on and have a look Jonny!
  5. How long was it between "wanting to sell it for what it would cost me to replace" (ha ha!) And the need arising?
  6. It's Saturday night, Let It Shine is on TV
  7. £500 is not f.all Besides Dave never used the winch so how do we know it was fully functional, the "mate" was buying a pig in a poke as well. How is what you paid immaterial Dave? You're happy to talk what you sold it for and what you think it was worth.
  8. How much did you pay for it at auction?
  9. C'mon Dave, in this day and age you cannot play the ingénue about the price of stuff. It was worth what it was worth, Monkeybusiness has you bang to rights.
  10. Somebody please delete the photo that's making this page really hard to read.
  11. TBH, when I watch reruns of LB I don't laugh. Too crass.
  12. That was Fawlty Towers Stubs. Anyway, British comedy shows (or the lack thereof) is a bit of a hobby horse of mine. Compared to the US we produce precious little really good comedy these days. I blame a lack of courage and overwillingness to back PC shows like Citizen Khan and Miranda. Note also the unbelievable BBC hyping of the overrated Sherlock. Anyway, The Office.
  13. As it's only one roller it probably isn't the relays. Could be the splines that turn the roller from the hydraulic motor.
  14. Great, look forward to the review.
  15. Anything that moves blood to that part of the body at my age is good news.
  16. Products I've no axe to grind but this is what renders me tumescent.
  17. On that subject Mark, had a french client last week bring out the beers at 11 o'clock! He was already pissed of course. Stayed sober enough to write the cheque out so live and let live etc.
  18. It came free with the machine, bizarrely. It's quite well made actually. (The harness I mean, time will tell about the pole saw)
  19. "Industrial athlete" is one of my trigger phrases, utter nonsense!
  20. I used mine (husky) on a oak reduction yesterday, it was a joy, chatting away to the lads and singing. They lined the stuff up and chipped it afterwards. Bliss.
  21. You sound a bit unsure Paul:001_smile:
  22. Well my 131 arrived today, very pleased with the power compared to the old ht75. Plus it comes with this harness, which is nice.
  23. Agreed. I've been in the odd pub in my time and known a few landlords. Nearly all of them suffer health problems from a various issues due to overwork and financial worries (not forgetting drink issues of course) I reckon pub management is one of the most life shortening jobs there is.
