  2. Our American cousins such as Erik must be pissing themselves laughing at this thread?
  3. I’m joining [emoji8]. For what it's worth Mick I don't see you as passive aggressive. just aggressive
  4. To be pedantic it’s not an evolutionary trait for pollution, it was a pre-existing trait that helps it survive polluted cities like London. Peppered moths have evolved in response to pollution
  5. Wow. You learn something every day! Did you know there are 69 more genders than I thought there were. I’m behind the times. I thought I was a bloke but I’m cisgender I also like watching lesbian porn but I don’t know what category that puts me in
  6. we don't want the bits back Erik thanks, use them for catfish bait
  7. You need to keep a safe distance and use a non lethal method. I have a 2ft length of old 10mm rope with an overhand knot on the end behind my car seat. Coppers prosecute for baseball bats etc in cars. I would imagine this knot contacting a scrotes ear should do the job
  8. Seen the 2 UK ISIS prisoners on the BBC? Now as a liberal I do not hold with capital punishment but I do agree with shipping the bastards over to the good ole US of A. What states use a chainsaw to dispatch felons?
  9. I don’t know. White people need someone to stick up for them. They must feel like everyone hates them with all the disadvantages stacked against them on a day to day basis
  10. Yes, me!
  11. good advice thanks. never thought about the fast pull
  12. yep. its working now. thanks
  13. Deserves to go away
  14. this looks a good site. I couldn't find the gay news section though. (first thing i look for)
  15. looks like i have stopped getting notifications to threads?? after the factory fortnight got about a dozen when people got back from holiday so was a fuse blown?
  16. sorry, no pics, well dead and no canopy, just a few thin brittle branches, 12" DBH and about 12' high. thicker hinge next time?
  17. Felling a friends dead cherry against the lean. Didn’t sound hollow and as it turned out it wasn’t, but the hinge gave out (soft pulp) and it didn’t fall exactly as planned (the fence was old anyway) I only had one rope on with a winch and with hindsight should have had two more, one on each side but this is the question Should I have had the hinge a lot thicker and pulled it down rather than the standard hinge thickness, which was enough to bring it to an upright position before it just failed falling to the side?
  18. Better late than never
  19. But apart from that?
  20. I drove along just waiting to hear a crunch but there was still plenty of play in the rear suspension
  21. frigging ell!. didn't have Norway so I put Sitka in the calculator. 1.8 ton. oops
  22. Looks like Mother Nature was in the middle of creating a clove hitch and got disturbed by some wood nymphs
  23. Ok, I know the above is not much of a question but I had a good sess milling spruce yesterday and completely filled my L200 to the brim with 2” 8’ planks. It has a load capacity of 1ton. Drove slowly back and handled ok but I figured it was at limit or beyond Ie is there a formula for calculating weight?
  24. I will give it a shot. Ta
