  1. Yep, pissing down all day here.
  2. As pro saws?
  3. Only since ‘99 in Europe. You reckon if the Yanks could buy a competitive US built saw they’d buy a Swedish (or German) one?
  4. The theory is that Stihl and Husky make their money on this stuff rather than the pro saws, they sell many more of these than the pro saws. But, they sell them because the average Joe sees Stihl and Husky stuff in the hands of the pros and equates the brand with quality. MaCulloch made the mistake of dumping their pro saw range years ago in favour of the homeowner stuff and lost out because the public lost faith in the brand. I read it somewhere but it makes sense.
  5. Just seems such an odd thing to spend all day arguing about.
  6. We stopped off at a Neanderthal pole dancing joint it’s true. (Surprisingly widespread in rural France)
  7. Ideally I’d like to see her in a light summer skirt in the grounds of Castle Howard assessing an early Victorian vase first, but needs must.
  8. I mean she’s no Fiona Bruce, but from behind, in a dark cave. Dont judge me!
  9. As an aside, whilst on the subject of early human migration. How amazing is it that caucasians are 1 or 2% Neanderthal and Africans have no Neanderthal genes? Must have caused some pisstake around the campfires. ’you literally shagged a neanderthal mate, so don’t talk about my bird like that’
  10. The sea was angry that day…
  11. Bit early, sun barely over the yardarm. But the wife’s in the UK, so hitting the Sauvignon early to dull the memory of yet another wet week. Plus a flick through a book an old mate sent me. Happy memories!
  12. Yes, agreed.
  13. Worth waiting for!
  14. I had no idea keeping your rear end in your trousers posed such a problem. May I suggest a belt and or braces? New technology I know but seems to work.
  15. Are you ‘hard as phook’ and super fit then? Dare I ask what ‘botty retention’ is?
  16. Anyway, for the OP. This question pops up quite often. General consensus is that (failing someone on here offering you a few days) you’re best off contacting firms direct, explain the situation and get a few days in dragging brush and generally getting a feel for it before committing.
  17. It’s not Gladiators.
  18. You do talk some bollocks.
  19. Never seen someone make such a life changing decision so quickly based on some advice on the internet! Have a good time in OZ
  20. Think it averages 80 odd bucks, he charges more if he has to climb.
  21. He says he is against this method as it is a highly toxic poison and firing it into the air and blasting pellets into the environment and missing the target is not advisable. It is a point of view shared by the majority of his contemporaries.
  22. I have messaged my local exterminator to ask about this, I’ll let the members know what he says.
  23. Very good point Joe.
  24. If you find pointless activity satisfying I suppose.
