  1. Had my einhell battery saw for best part of a year it's really good came with oregon chain and bar. Have now got a lot of their cordless kit and have found it excellent especially sds hammer drill.
  2. Good point have had that happen to me on my 450e more than once even after really tightening it.
  3. Typical hunt attitude they told me I shouldn't have been allowed to buy my wood. Arrogant ignorant barstewards.
  4. Battery all day I have the Einhell 36v which is excellent, keep it in the pickup and always using it. Wickes have offer on for free battery and charger but if you have any battery power tools already look at that make. Battery saw so much better than petrol on hedge work.
  5. Hardly a cyclist about this morning but loads more cars wonder what changed?
  6. Excellent resource easily adapted for UK. I wear light gloves such as the site ones from screw fix about £1.39 a pair easy to work in. Thanks for posting.
  7. Cyclists everywhere today all over the road lane discipline non existent. As for horses had a bucketful lately first it was the local caravan dwellers stallions out on the road at five in the morning. Northants finest attended and told me they'd put them back can't count unfortunately as there were 3 out not 2. Third one smashed our fence down and got into back hay meadow. Absolutely wild and dangerous said caravan dwellers turned up and was a hoot as they tried to catch the thing which they did but not without it giving one of them a hell of a kick, just about managed to keep a straight face. Three days later the finest are back enquiring about stolen horses in field at back run by horse welfare outfit. Legal owner turns up to collect them next thing is ambulances, fire engines and police cars tearing down track at side of our paddock. Said stolen horses objected to going back and laid out two of owners. Just don't get me started on the local hunt they're in a league of their own.
  8. If you want something that can convert into a tablet as well as having a normal keyboard have a look at some of the newer chrome books which flip. They run on chrome os so no windows. I have an Asus 101 flip which has a 10.1 screen converts into a tablet and runs Android apps as well. Really impressed with how simple and hassle free it is. Bit of a learning curve as few bits work differently. Battery life is great and haven't found anything I couldn't do with it compared to a laptop. Haven't used one to transfer or process photos though. Storage is usually small as mainly designed to work online but work equally well offline. Worth looking at.
  9. End of life protocols and palliative care have their place if applied humanely and with compassion. What is dangerous is to go down the route of 'well they've had their time' or 'they're a burden on society'. This pandemic has cost the lives of not just the elderly and vulnerable but also those of highly trained and experienced consultants, doctors and nurses amongst others who we can ill afford to lose. Where would it end if we wrote off the elderly and chronically sick or disabled? My knowledge of history reminds me that the last leader to go down that route was called Adolf Hitler and by Christ that ended badly didn't it? 60 million dead if I recall in WW2. Personally I would sooner my standard of living dropped and my 'freedom' was restricted and we saved lives rather than writing the less fortunate off. I'm just thankful to live in a society like ours rather than that of some third world countries or those with masses of disadvantaged citizens such as India say.
  10. In amongst the bluebells and dogs Mercury in our wood nearly missed it only one.
  11. It's a crap filter - end of. It's crap customer service end of. Buy Greenmech in future? No way end of.
  12. Invisible nailing as well I presume!
  13. Grandfather served in navy in ww1 took part in Zeebrugge raid. Dad was a truck driver in Reme and started off in Libya and went up through Italy ended up in Austria. Used to tell a tale of winching trucks through the Alps, claimed one came round a bend on its side cargo was eggs - scrambled of course. Uncle was in coastal command as wop on Sunderland's, told Dad if he wanted to survive not to join RAF as air gunner, thankfully Dad listened. So there you have a genuine truck driver.
  14. Primroses looking good this year, bluebells not yet out.

    Covid-19

    Seller from Bulgaria as well
  16. Blowhard?!?! [emoji1] [emoji1] [emoji1]
  17. Obviously ignore fretting for the uke chord and use guitar chord unless playing on uke or mandolin or whatever!
  18. Ukelele but can play on guitar
  19. Toilet rolls?
  20. Wonder how long the novelty of keeping hens will last for a lot of the people who bought the 16,000?
  21. Think you got your eggs and sanitiser confused, unless your going to sell your eggs for £9 for six! Golden eggs!
  22. Great advice as I posted elsewhere on here Blueline our local security group have advised us they are noticing increased activity by dubious characters eyeing up vans and buildings.
  23. Watched the news tonight and they interviewed a site manager on a big site, he said all workers were staying 2 metres apart. Sadly in the background 3 separate groups of 2 workers all standing right next to each other. This and the sort of scenes we saw today on the tube and other sites just will lead to a full lockdown. I don't mind guys trying to earn a crust but FFS is it so difficult to distance? I did my final delivery this morning, dropped logs on drive and payment by internet, no contact with customer, saw two people on bridle way through our wood and said good morning from 30 yards! Local security group (Blueline) saying they're noticing increased activity by the caravan dwellers eyeing up vehicles and buildings, doubtless they will take advantage if people aren't around so much. That's us done now don't need to work luckily so just getting on with jobs at home, fortunately Travis Perkins dropped materials for extension last week - always pays to offer the driver a cup of tea!
