  1. Easy Fence Post Repair Support For Corner And Round Post Or Tree Brace Inc VAT WWW.EBAY.CO.UK It's that simple. I have put up and repaired fences for years this is by far the easiest way of doing it. This item is larger and... Maybe worth a look?
  2. The Officer has already been fired. No doubt the Army Officer will get a nice fat pay cheque (and rightly so) The picture below shows the stark disparity in requirements to become a Police Officer, this is something that needs looked at asap in the US. But then so does the rampant gun crime in the US especially Black on Black. It seems BLM only if they are killed by a Cop and there is a chance for some good looting after.
  3. But she never, she shouted Tazer, Tazer Tazer. There's little point in not mentioning the Tazer when there is video footage of her screwing up and saying just that. Surely having both weapons painted the same colour and remarkably similar appearance is something that needs looked at?
  4. Must be all the Spring Lambs in the fields.
  5. Good point. As with all these highly emotive cases it’s best letting the courts who see all the evidence decide before they start looting and destroying their own neighbourhoods again. We only see and read what sells newspapers.
  6. I dunno like? Considering the victim (supposedly) already has warrants out for his arrest including brandishing an unlicensed firearm then when the Police try and pull him over he evades arrest, refuses to pull over then struggles with the Police when they finally apprehend him. Id be absolutely bricking myself that a man with this track record who is acting in such an uncontrollably way is not reaching for another unlicensed weapon. Id say let 'due process' take place before casting judgement but supposedly following the law is now a sackable offence. Minnesota mayor fires city manager and takes over police after man fatally shot | BreakingNews.ie WWW.BREAKINGNEWS.IE Daunte Wright died in an area that was already on edge because of the trial of the first of four police officers charged... Now-former city manager Curt Boganey, speaking earlier to reporters, said the officer who shot Mr Wright would get “due process” after the shooting. “All employees working for the city of Brooklyn Centre are entitled to due process with respect to discipline,” Mr Boganey said.
  7. That’s what I had as well. Cut me down one side of my spine to trim L4 and came around the back of my spine to get L5. Still waiting on Neck surgery for the same issue from when I had a 7kg lump of metal fall on my hardhat from 3m. Covids stopped that from happening though. Thankfully I’ve got good private insurance through my work so I’ll get it sorted as soon as this nonsense is over.
  8. Back braces are bad for you long term as you rely on them instead of your own muscles and you weaken them. Stretching to the point you’re crying out in pain (under professional guidance) and thinking this is in no way good for me helps a lot. Deep tissue massages where you’re also crying out in pain. Chiropractor in conjunction with the deep tissue massages. I’ve had two different surgeries on my lower back though. Still have bad tingling in each of my feet and if I stop being active (like the last 10 days I’ve been in quarantine) I’m back to shuffling around like an old man. So it’s back to stretching in the shower for me and lots of walking and physical activity. When I get home I’ll be heading to my chiropractor for an MOT.
  9. Neither does a percentage of the US population it seems.
  10. How do you mistake direct instructions to comply with the Police with try to outrun the police then physically struggle and try to get away from them? I guess these will just be some of life’s little mysteries.
  11. Tongs have a more naturel position for your arm and hand. But I do use my Hookeroon more to be fair, mostly because it gives me that extra reach and its easier for swinging bigger rounds up onto the Splitter. I'll have about 20t of processor grade larch coming in soon. I think the Tongs will be getting used more for that kinda dimensions. Considering buying a Processor if I could justify it.
  12. 100%! After two lower back surgeries it’s all about ergonomics for me now. Tongs are great for sub-12” logs (my tongs anyway) and the Hookeroon for anything bigger. The Hookeroon doubles up as an arm extender too. 😁 This reduces any unnecessary stretching and twisting. The last time I was out I cut up some oak logs and split them to 3-4” rattled out enough to fill 4 x 1.25m3 vented bags. Never filled the bags right enough, that’s the missus job. 🤣
  13. My splitter came with a log lift. Was the first thing to come off. 🤣
  14. I only do that if I’m dealing with rounds that can’t easily be lifted up when splitting in the horizontal. Vertical is slooooooow. A 4/6 way head, a Hookeroon and a set of lifting tongs will transform your splitting day and produce far more bags of logs. (From my own experience anyway)
  15. Sounds like you’ve got yourself a tool shopping list. [emoji16]
  16. It might not be though. A trick to try is seeing if a Torx head fits. It should give you enough purchase till you get some imperial keys.
  17. Imperial? 5/32" maybe? Could be 3/16" but if its big for 5mm Id say 5/32".
  18. Would he make one for the 084 in the future?
  19. 1/10th? Those are rookie numbers! You gotta pump those numbers up.
  20. Corbyn as well. Easiest way to spoil a vote. 🤣
