  1. You can supply your own tissues [emoji6]
  2. Bless ya Gary.... your a very kind hearted fella!!! I’ll say the same too yolky, if the mood takes ya, and your steering wheel pulls ya..... open house at ours! [emoji106]
  3. His life ended.... so i’m guessing so!
  4. How rude Dr Westy, used to give my dog a form of bromide for his epilepsy, poor lad, short life reaching just 2 1/2.
  5. Think they call it “real world!”
  6. Looks like something you get on a bush tucker trial
  7. [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23] sounded raspy sweet i must admit.
  8. I was expecting a bloke in a balaclava to come running in halfway through the vid when you said it got pinched! [emoji30] knocked the wind right out my sails there Mick, you had me all built up [emoji16]
  9. Not specifically aiming it at cylinders, would of been a more bonus spruce up clean with regards to cylinders. I hammer them with the degreaser from work usually which works well enough. Would be mainly used for the likes of carbs and adblue dosing units etc. Had my eye on a 3L 100w heated one, does that sound more likely then do ya think?
  10. First to the bin..... last away! [emoji38]
  11. Ultrasonic cleaners, used to aid the cleaning of parts.... anyone got any good recommendations? Looking at buying one, mainly for cleaning small intricate parts etc but possibly one big enough to take a chainsaw cylinder, 6L - 8L maybe? Anyone got any advice or tips?
  12. I Totally agree we should all stand back and look, and make a written note of the task (probably an invoice for you working in the public eye, which surely should include a job description to be carried out? In my line of work its a job card) i didnt suggest otherwise?! I simply said my opinion on it is that for all the added extras they keep giving us, in ALL industries, it does make you take your eye off the ball. I’m not gona argue with you on it, its just MY opinion. And as MattyF says, a lot of it is unnecessary paperwork to justify and cover your ass and other peoples. BUT the positive of it, as you suggest, is at least there is a written record of your job happenings if there are any come backs. I also disagree that filling in RA or MS makes you all “a team” and makes you “all sing from the same hymn sheet” and makes sure everyone has “understood” the job at hand. It only takes one noncompliant worker to create a severe incident / accident. Otherwise the words and meanings for accident / incident wouldnt exist in the english language and dictionary with the described meanings they have. My conclusion is.... By using RA and MS you are more likely to LOWER the risk of a incident / accident but you WILL NOT prevent a accident by using them. (Only my opinion of course... again ?)

    You gun men blow my mind! [emoji854] i’m off to fit some brakes on a DAF [emoji34]
  14. Not knocking it in the whole sense, just that they keep adding more and more legislation making it harder and harder to do the job. Some stand back and take stock of the situation is good and valid in my opinion for any task, being aware does save lives, but too much over thinking and worrying whether you’ve done it by the book, this way or that way..... that creates doubt and thats when mistakes and accidents occur.
  15. Fair mix, cheeky looking fella tho! Stunning surroundings [emoji106][emoji108] Having a few probs with our boxer at min, shes 9 1/2 and got a bloody eye ulcer [emoji849] had it debrided (if thats how ya say it) on wednesday gone, just hope it clears up. Think Westy’s heads in the “wolds” [emoji23]
  16. Whats breed peds? Smart picture too!
  17. Could think of stronger words for him!
  18. Bet you have your hands full with your beagle [emoji15][emoji15]
  19. Do you not feel sometimes that by fully “working to the letter of law” (or your company) makes you take the eye off the ball and create mistakes. We’re hammered by H&S and RA and MS at work, and a lot of the time i feel it creates more hazards and near misses / unsafe acts, than it would if you were to just, ordinary stand back, whey up, carry out, common sense approach would do.
  20. Be neater than mine would be, i’d be going round and round the tree trying to get a cut equally opposite, it’d end up looking like a spiralizer ?
  21. A bad workman always blames his tools [emoji39]
