  1. Love it! Not sure I’ll use it but you never know. I actually just bought a couple rotatech chains as they where a tenner each delivered. (Stihl 034) Abused one all day and I’ve yet to sharpen it or re-tension it. Very impressed so far. Proof will be in the re-sharpening pudding I guess. But a tenner to hack through gritty, muddy firewood for 10 plus hours has to be a bargain regardless if I just bin it now.
  2. I’ve yet to put a foot wrong legally. Times they are a changing though.
  3. 15-20% profit? That low a margin? I’m planning on 40-50% or it’s just not worth it.
  4. Not off radar, just, well you know
  5. Im looking to go as traceless as I can now, and know others here who are doing or are planning on doing the same. Saving to get a Log Processor as your English Woodsure has not infected us up here yet. Logs have gone from being an sideline to a nice wee earner.
  6. Ooooh, up a few quid! I’ll get this mobile processor before long. (Gotta think small 🤣)
  7. And do you notice any difference?
  8. I seen their adverts on the GP races. Thought (naively) they must be kinda safe. I’ve a wee bit in PayPal as well since they started a Crypto Wallet. Anything that I flog on eBay and I get paid in PayPal I put into bitcoin. Easy to forget about. My wife is convinced I bought Bitcoin 10-12 years ago. I vividly remember sitting at the communal workshop laptop and making a wallet and looking at how to mine. I know I spent over 1000nok on something. I thought coin but who knows long lost now.
  9. Interesting. I’ve got most of my meagre investment on that site/app. I had a brief look at the card but not a close one. Perhaps I should look closer as I have both Netflix and Spotify plus as you mention an unhealthy addiction to airport lounges. 🤣
  10. Im a little late in joining this party unfortunately. If I was to put some funds into high risk high gain coin/token what would you recommend? Ive a couple of K in Bit, ETH and Solana. A wee bit more in other coins more to track them and remember them than anything else.
  11. Ok, so we're back to a cheeky cash wager then?
  12. Lets make it a pint.
  13. Yet I made the initial offer. I offered a fun little wager you want to be a cnut. Ive no interest in accommodating your cnutishness.
  14. The offer was for a cash wager. If you're not in a position to accept then just say so.
  15. Ohhhh Bitchy. Nah, cash will do.
  16. I know. Lets do that, always fun to put our money where our mouths are and makes it a little more interesting.
  17. Of course, We could also have a cheeky wager on it.
  18. I guess we'll see. A protest Green or Lib Dums vote will not help Labour all that much, plenty folk wont vote for Kneel and protest vote as well. We need big boy pants on when we're voting for who runs the country. Who in the right mind will vote for a BLM Poodle? BLM who are now under investigation for fraud.
  19. I think the whole Tory Party would need to be confirmed Nazi Pedo's for Labour to win an election these days.
  20. So some other sleazebag takes his place and he's not held accountable? Whats the point?
  21. They certainly look out for us Eggs. Look out to see if we've swallowed their BS
  22. I could not really give two shits if they held all these parties if nothing else it shows what many here have always claimed and that this 'pandemic' is nothing other than a power grab. It seems more Tin Foil Hatters have gotten it right than many of the so called experts. If you weigh what SAGE has predicted and a Tin Foil Hatter up Id say the Tin Foil Hatter has been right on more occasions. It could be said that the PM and the British Government are just towing the Global Elites line and parroting what they've been told but knew all along that this Pandemic is nothing other than a plandemic. Their actions throughout, both this side of the pond and the other would certainly indicate so. Is anyone here genuinely under the impression that the Tories who are submitting letters of no confidence where in the dark regarding all these parties? IMO thy are as culpable and this is nothing other than a coup and the faux outrage is all an act. Yet again they are manipulating us and we're falling for it hook line and sinker. Same as its ever been.
  23. Nice. How far did you have to go to collect /swap that.? We’re on opposite coasts of Scotland. So 4 hours each way. The wife and wee ones came and we made a wee break of it. Stayed a night in a Premier Inn (classy) on the way over and went out to eat. Today we went to the beach, it’s much warmer on the West Coast so I hear. 🤣 Back roads all the way home meant it was more like 5 hours back. Stunning views til it got dark.
  24. I did the same. Way easier.
  25. Well Mark and I came to a deal. A part of that deal included this old Wood-mizer LT40 Super Hydraulic. Just arrived home with it this evening after a nerve wracking trip wondering if anything would fall off. [emoji3] Unfortunately its been very neglected by the owner previous to Mark and it needs a huge amount of love and cash if its to ever be put to work again. The realistic options for me are to rob it for bits, ie the Log Turner, Log Lift and maybe the hydraulic Tow Boards and incorporate them into my Logosol B751, but I dont think the frame on the Logosol is remotely up to that. Another option is to remove the Wood-Mizer Cantilever Saw Head and Bunks and mount the Logosol fully on the LT40 Chassis then take advantage of the Hydraulics. Id have to mount something like a GX390 to power the hydraulics. I dont know if everything would line up but I think its worth looking into. I think the cutting length of the LT40 is 6m So I could potentially get the full 6m Ive currently got on the Logosol on the LT40 Chassis with a bit of modification. The last option is to just flog it on as is. But I really like the idea of a fully hudraulic B751. [emoji3]
