  1. Of course, silly me. No longer anonymous.
  2. Don't forget the solders either.
  3. oh, I missed than you should have said
  4. Had a go with Milwalkui kit the other week - drills, saws, all cordless and quite impressive
  5. Got willow burning just now, it burns hot enough because it isn't too energy dense... but because it isn't very energy dense it burns quick. So far I think about twice as quick as the beech I had mid winter. As Steve says, great to get the fire going but unless you are sitting on the stove throw on a hardwood later. Willow is full of water so takes a while to dry. If you have a choice from the campsite, take away the beech first, then the poplar and leave the willow till later - best returns for the amount of effort.
  6. Good to see the results, my job this year is to open up the wood for more undergrowth - years of inaction and it is a covering of brambles, pine needles and fallen trees (tree: bug houses, but there are only so many bugs) - get the wild life back in a bit more, more birds, prepare the ground to replace what fell over in this years storms
  7. The Rapist (along with all his other notable god qualities) was very quick to jump on Zelensky, abuse his guest in his own house on international TV, took about a day from entering the White House to start flinging it Ukraine direction, and now Russia is refusing to cooperate with Trumpy ceasefire (the done and dusted, oven ready if you like, 24 hour in office deal), Trump is getting mildly annoyed. Spin the table the other way, it would be all out hostility to Zelensky. You might have a point that Trumps sympathies are not aligned to his people or his countries history.
  8. Who are you?
  9. For this forum there is of course a related thread "who like Labour", which is a thread for knocking the current democratically elected UK government. Quite quiet over there just now, assuming people are content. This thread, related to the current US president, so knocking Trump here is acceptable. Comparing the 2 though, I cannot see Kier Starmer talking himself into world war 3 and a recession, where as every time Trump opens his mouth.. that is only just around the corner. Going back in history too, Blair was just following the Republican president and supporting the UKs allies - a lesson that the US might remember just who has stood with them.
  10. Looks very similar shape and weight to the ones I got. Throw one at once - can shatter them if you hit each other (best case you need to sharpen them again), or bounce right back at you.
  11. Edity. We do all like a good edit, change the original message completely. You can still have a lot of money and be dumb, just as easily as those with not a lot of money can still very clever. Musks finances are not as rosy as he wants you to believe, this week he has hidden the falling value of Twatter by transferring it to his over valued AI company (worst case it's value is 1/4 what he paid for it) The Rapist famously has had 5 bankruptcies along the way costing the ordinary working man that he champions billions and now has less money that if he'd just left his inheritance and did nothng with it/
  12. Yup, a proper coal man!
  13. Our coalman reckons his 50kg sacks cost less than £1 for him, but can reuse them a few times - think only about 65 to 70 litres capacity, there must be cheaper single use quality bags out there?
  14. 25 millions of Musks money apparently didn't make a difference
  15. Second the large amount on lawns - the mower will shred most of the leaves, perfect for the compost heap. Blower useful for paths though.
  16. Biologically he does.
  17. err fact check time.... Look back at all your fresh starts in the post (ie where you are not throwing out the abuse but pasting a link from reliability news source, Linkedin). Why is it that NONE of your making the news reports EVER feature white criminals, despite them committing the same crimes as the mostly Asian men you report on. Fortunately there are members on here who have the ability to use google, do a quick fact check and prevent this forum becoming a cess pit of racist hate that your posts repeatedly are trying to drag it down into.
  18. I've not had a chance but a local teacher was talking to me about it - hard to watch but made her have to stop and think. She recommended it, so I'll try to catch it sometime - kind of conversation we had was that most parents would do well to have a watch
  19. No, wrong one Peds, he's the good guy, not the bad guy!
  20. Stay healthy and active but have a plan B (or C or D). Example - my current waste of time / fitness regime (call it what you want) is running, might be that one day the knees will finally go... plan B is to dust off the bikes - so when the knees do go I am not sat at home "Oh, woe is me"... there is a new challenge waiting to go for. Too many retired people sit down, put Richard and Judy on the TV and that is them.
  21. Topping up oil - never have the same barrel that the garage uses so I just get a 1l pot from Halfords - the make depends how flush I am feeling from Halfords own up to Castrol or whatever. Most people do the same. If it was a problem we'd know about it I reckon. Above disclaimers apply though, highly engineered machines might need specific oils, run around Passats will take anything for example.
  22. Do you reckon he is beginning to understand Putin a little more: Trump lashes out at Putin as Ukraine ceasefire talks stall UK.YAHOO.COM Donald Trump said he was “pissed off” with Vladimir Putin and threatened to ramp up sanctions on Russia as Ukraine ceasefire talks stalled.
  23. Whoops! Forgot to come back to this... 81
  24. Only 1 way to find out! (Small story: I made a wheel barrow hopper out of pallets - first lockdown, couldn't get into a shop - anyway, that hopper has outlasted the rest of it, admittedly the donor parts were all ready 10 years old at the time, if you don't try it will never work)
