    looks OK but no use for me, I turn the strimmer on its side to do the edges.. Only ever broken about six windows and three of them were at the same house... The trick is to be aware and take care.. Another thing I do without fail is take off those black pasticky guards to get more control of the strimmer head..
  2. Enjoyed watching that, an I was thinking, errm. thats a good idea, stick your phone in a plastic pouch on your leg.. then you bring out the wedge LOL...
  3. I like it, ever thought of becoming a motivational speaker?.... you might do well..
  4. Well I never, never new things like that existed.. Must need a long airline for those lol...
  5. Yea, always a good to check wheel nuts once in a while.. I was driving through town one Sunday morning and just as I approached the lights, the front side of my van collapsed into the road.. for a second I didn't know what the heck was goin on.. Then I looked out the window to see my front tire heading into the lights.... Thank god its early Sunday I thought, this could of been very embarrassing in rush hour traffic... Then there was a friend of mine who borrowed his trailor out an it unhitched and ran into an old lady.. got jailed for that he did... So yea, check your trailers an tires every now an then....
  6. Burgess Every time you post a load of bull and someone calls you out on it it's always 'light hearted comedy' A load of bull?....what you on about.... I don't like Roller mowers and said so, I explained why, very heavy, and injected some comedy relief at the end about the stripes... How is that bull?....
  7. I see my attempt at light hearted comedy went right over your head...

  9. No..Bolton
  10. Oh, well not far removed from myself then... I do the occasional tree, but this year intend to use ropes and stuff, ordinarily I just get up there an hope for the best. But I have been out in the yard playing on our big tree figuring things out with the proper climbing stuff... Like my friend says when I'm admiring all my shiny new stuff. And the gear, no idea LOL...
  11. Well if your just messing about testing ideas no problem, I like that... But if its just a throw bag you wanna make, keep it simple I say..
  12. I'm subscribed to him, have been for a few years now... I'm not really a fan but here and there he makes some good points... and I certainly don't go along with his hard core libertarian views, the mans a crackpot in that regard.. Still, like me he's a big Donald Trump fan.. so he has some saving gracies at least..
  13. Do I sense a fellow traveler, someone who does the odd tree as a change of pace?...
  14. Having a sewing machine sure comes in handy... In that regards, seein as you've so obviously got one, why faff about with different filling.. Knock two dozen of those things up, put sand in em an you're set for life... Same with material, your over engineering the problem.. bit of canvas, jobs a good un..
  15. The genetic change that enabled early Europeans to drink milk without getting sick has been mapped to dairying farmers who lived around 7,500 years ago in a region between the central Balkans and central Europe.28 Aug 2009 The reference to Britons and Romans Tom Holland, Rubicon..
  16. Prove anything I said wrong....
  17. humans have only been drinking milk for a few thousand years, and its taken that long for the lactose intolerant gene to spread through the population... The Romans rebuked the Britons for being milk drinkers, so even then it seems the lactose intolerant gene had not traveled through the whole European population.. Which makes me wonder that drinking milk might have undesirable side effects including cancer in some cases...
  18. Milk increases risk of prostrate cancer.. Prostate cancer is one of the most common malignancies worldwide, with an estimated 400,000 new cases diagnosed annually. Its incidence and mortality have been associated with milk or dairy product consumption in international and interregional correlational studies. Milk Consumption and Prostate Cancer | The Physicians Committee relax the aches and pains today, increase your chance of cancer for tomorrow...
  19. why am I not convinced?.. link to the research please... Perhaps I will try and find the research myself, see if I can't pick it apart...
  20. How can a glass of milk work better than anything else?.... Were any other blind tests conducted?.. maybe just being asked to drink milk after a match brought on a placebo effect.. Milk might be good for you, but is it any better than a glass of wine... or beer if you like that, to sooth aches and pains?... I doubt it.... Placebo..
  21. Yea, I've built my own lanyard using a cheap petzl pulley.. seems to work OK.. I was gonna get one of those Zigzag grillons to go with my Zigzag mechanical prussic.. But hey, £12, verses hundred quid or more.... why bother...
  22. Errm, I googled Stien lanyards/toolstrops and saw a bungee one.. making me believe thats what he already had.... But on further investigation, I see they do a few different kinds....
  23. So, no answer to the problem of wind blowing lanyards about then?... have we a cure for that?... I'm sure that was the reason for the thread...
  24. If I had to guess who's nicked it, I'd go local.. Little Hulton's a bit of a rough area... wouldn't be surprised if those who nicked it don't even know what it is...
  25. Why do you use a roller mower?.. Heavy lumps that they are, better off using a normal mower, lighter and no need to faff about with stripes... If any of my customers wants stripes I tell em to buy some paint and paint em on the grass..
