  1. Unfortunately Fuel has to be in fuel rated containers, if there was a problem on the forecourt then the station would be liable. and yes they were getting funny about the amounts people can have, it was about a yr ago. the only thing I can say, go in and get what they will allow, then drive off and ave a coffee or whatever, then pop back in and fill the rest up. or go in with your mate and do it as two separate paying customers. one other thing, if they have a card payment at the pump, there’s not a lot they can do, and hopefully it’s in a corner where they can’t see very well.?
  2. I’ve messaged @gobbypunk with the pdf, I’ve asked him to pass it on and I guess the next person he passes it on to can do the same ?????
  3. I have the pdf,, but it’s a bit fiddly getting it from one folder (iBooks) to who ever.. I found the links before but as with most things on the web they come and go.. so I cannot find any working links at the mo. But sit tight. I will see if I can find a way.. ie drop box or something. ?
  4. Not wankerstar.. he’s the best paid person for talking stuff he’s got no clue about.. I,m saying he’s paid to review, and he’s rubbish at it....? btw I liked him at first till I out grew his Knowledge and realised there were lots more qualified people to talk about stuff that he was trying to review. edit and those poeple didn’t get paid for the review ??????
  5. I will reply as best I can, can’t be bothered with quotes. i don’t think not going on holiday or not getting in a car has anything to compare with tattoos ? I think some tattoos are real nice pieces of art, but some are just rubbish. And if it’s on your arm it’s there for good . art is always about how you see it just like van Gogh and all the other famous artists, I have stuff that I like and stuff that I don’t . Really if you want have them it’s not my body it’s yours. you can do what you like, just like I can do with mine. ? I had a Prince Albert ??? I got pissed off pissing on my trousers, or having to sit down.. I can say I wished I never had it but it was fun in bed etc. But I don’t have it now. Can’t say the hole has gone but I,m glad the ring is gone. as for my grand dad, he told me a few things but most are a distant memory. And as most peeps say I should have spent more time with him and asked more questions. its probably 25yrs since he died.. he was a nice guy as a grandad, much better than my stepfather. ?
  6. I’ve told My son the very same story, he’s 18 soon. Hopefully he don’t come home with one like this ?
  7. I remember my granddad saying look at my tattoos When I was around 10yrs old, he was about 50yrs old , they looked lovely when I was in the army in India, we all had them. but they now look ugly. Every yr they look worse. do me a favour and remember this.. I did remember, and I remembered to look at them each yr when I could see them in the summer. i,m very glad I’ve got none whatsoever ???? so take my advice go look at some old peeps tattoos. That just may inspire you to think twice..?
  8. I think I will just get a 880 copy and change all the parts that I know are poor and have failed in the 660 clones... I know some cranks to go bad and that ant cheap, I know the carbs can be crap. I know the main bearings can be full of mag shavings, I know other things are a bit hit and miss,, but I know what I know.. and I see it as a project and would like most peeps and take a backup saw... and I would put it through some hard work with a smaller bar first. and I say this is only if the price of the oem 880 stays the same as it is now, if the oem 880 price falls then why bother btw I think the clone price will be around £500 give or take ?
  9. What are the carb settings you’ve set it at ? it could be as someone else has said, you have a air leak and tuned the carb to compensate and it seems fine at wot. or it could be the slight bog you can get after blocking off the accelerator pump. well mine has this, and I’ve had to tune the low a bit rich then I get a big puff of blue smoke if it’s left ticking over for a while.
  10. China saw, A similar thing was on eBay this STIHL MS460 WWW.EBAY.CO.UK Find many great new & used options and get the best deals for STIHL MS460 at the best online prices at eBay...
  11. I spot a 200 creamsicle ?
  12. Just look on micks or a few others instagrams and see who they follow ? ??
  13. I thought that was the mods peeps did to it to move away from the 3/8 lopro convert it to 1/4 i guess a quick call to or look on rob d's web page will get you there ?
  14. Just take him outside and do this.
  15. I like reading everyone's opinions/ideas,, I have my own and see where it falls in the ideas. so some may think it’s wrong, but getting the council to do things is like having the neighbour from hell next door some times. I would just submit what needs to be done to the neglected tree by the owners of the tree, and see if they are happy and if a middle ground could be compromised. Take a good look and see if you can find any faults and highlight them. The rule of 25% has been forgotten for to long by them and is to late and to little now but either way asking if you can, and telling them you would like to rectify neglected tree. Are two different things. but really you shouldn’t have any probs getting access to do the job i look forward to the outcome ?? edit, which way is north and south. So we can get an idea of the reduced light this property is suffering
  16. I’ve milled a bit with the 461, it does the job with a 25” and you get about 18.5” cut. But don’t push it and expect to much, ie seasoned hard wood
  17. I can’t wait, I wanna get my hands on that beastie saw of yours? I bet a few are wondering ?..
  18. It kept me up all darn night, ? but it was good ?
  19. It could just be they wanted someone else to get the job, but the committee decided they wanted you. the only way is have your phone recording if you have to speak to them. “Evidence “ that your polite. I have a crack house in my block, and I have to record regularly, (edit, when I leave or enter) for my and anyone else’s safety ?, then in the event of a problem hopefully I’ve got it recorded. 10 times we have had someone urinate in the stairs ? but I digress, ? Btw. I do hope the post person can tell the history of the box.
  20. I,d be reading the contract very carefully, and buy them a new post box put it up and finish the job and get paid for the whole job. But being careful at what the contract says. And make sure you do everything you have to. as for leaving logs around, take pics and get permission. Maybe have your phone recording in your hand, because It seems like they want you to fail and not get paid. then later send a lad round to smack that lovely new post box with a lump of wood.?
  21. You live and learn,?. I guess I was slow on this stump ?. i put this up, to show we all can make mistakes. That day I learnt more on how to file and learnt not to try and cut bricks again?.
  22. Yes, as they say I got the tee shirt. i sharpened more than once before I found this in the crutch base of the tree. ?. It was hidden in needles and crap. You can see how much I cut ? I was so pleased I found it I took a pic ?
  23. So here’s a few pic's. First few pics is new chain 3/8 lopro (not on a bar) the next few pics are a slightly used chain (on a 12” bar) , I,m sure someone will comment good or bad, about my filing but as we’ve said before it does take time to be able to get good results, and then while on a job time is not plentiful to waste on filing a chain. ?
