  1. Ask the audience, start a poll, i’m not arsed vesp! But i’ll win! [emoji867][emoji51]
  2. Your DEFO not entertaining... your repetitively droll! “Troll” haha.... i can easily imagine you under a bridge! Thank baby jesus their aint “enough hours in a day” for you...... we really would be lining up to play hang man! Telling lies and making stories up and trying to be humorous about it, is not a good quality and does not make you “shine in a good light” as they say. Lies and deceit will only end up with you screaming for help one day. That day will probably relate to the story about “the boy who cried wolf” when that day comes....... dont shout for any help off me! (And probably 99% of others on here!) I wont be coming to help ya! I’ll be facing the other direction with my arse cheeks hanging out, wearing ear defenders and a bobble hat, with my right hand in the air and my middle finger pointing upwards repeating the words “do one ya [emoji931] end!”
  3. You say stihl hp mineral isn’t the best? What do you recommend spud? [emoji6]
  4. Uhoh.... here comes another!.......... here it is! [emoji51]
  5. ??? i have been lead to believe! [emoji6] But nah, thanks for the info, just weary sometimes of synthetic oils as i have seen some engines (4 stroke) behave poorly and destruct when put on to synthetic oil, usually around year 1998 to 2003. I just put it down to the “big commercial changes” where semi’s and fully synthetic oils were being heavily introduced in to the industry. One particular thing that stood out to me was when we shifted from texaco 15w40 mineral to shell helix 10w30 semi synth in 2000 and a large proportion of our OM457 merc engines decided to die! I’m only a “basic messer” (thanks Joe! [emoji849][emoji30])with chainsaws / concrete saws and tend to stick with most 2006 models and before, hence using stihl hp mineral with no issues. (As of yet)
  6. Twat!
  7. Do i need to research you a little yolky? [emoji6][emoji848].........
  8. Sorry joe ??‍♂️ not to drag you in, i just found your comment funny! [emoji6]? i was actually referring my last post to Spud, but do feel to contribute if you wish [emoji51][emoji106]
  9. Since you dont know anything about 2 stroke engines [emoji848].,..,,,,... [emoji51]? and in conjunction with another thread you have been involved with, you have mentioned about using good quality 2 stroke oil. I personally have only ever used stihl hp mineral oil in all my concrete saws and chainsaws plus all others that i have fettled with. So.... what are your thoughts on using or being forcefully moved to using, synthetic two stroke oils?
  10. Be careful, my mate bought a hilux pickup on a 98 T reg i think it was, 12 yrs ago from Bolton, he sold it 3 months ago to a local bloke we know who wanted it for his lad down in Southampton, (he lives in the woods and apparently it would make an ideal ferrying and fuck about vehicle he said!) About a month ago i was browsing hilux’s as i’m debating on what to buy next and ONLY by chance did i see his pickup for sale again cos i recognised the Reg! My mate looked over the advert and realised that the pictures he was seeing were from the original listing 12 yrs ago when he bought the pickup! they had replicated the advert but down in Southampton, (the scammers had obviously researched the reg from seeing it being used round Southampton) We contacted the bloke that my mate sold the pickup to and explained what we’d seen and read, but he said no his son still had it and had no intensions of selling it as he loved it! I did a simple google search of “toyota hilux” including his reg, and up popped the advert from 2006 when he first bought the pickup! Obviously its so easy to replicate and scam these days!!! So moral of the story is..... make sure you heavily research your soon to be purchases, or even if possible, go see the product before buying and don’t hand any cash over till your are 100% sure. [emoji106] In answer to your post, yeah the identical pictures suggest a fraudulent sale, in my opinion of course.

    [emoji50] Bit selfish of you Gary..... no need! ☹️
  13. Love seeing these pics of your cut wood pieces with the grains and growing rings/lines, shifts where knotty etc, think its ace! Wouldnt av a chuffing clue how to go about it, but intrigued all the same, and becoming more and more nosey towards it all [emoji6] keep the pics and spiel coming guys, top notch! Defo need to learn more about sharpening chains too!
  14. Spot on Stubby, we have it preached to us at work all the time, they tell us that all accidents are preventable. But i disagree, the actual given meaning of a accident is...... “an unfortunate incident that happens unexpectedly and unintentionally, typically resulting in damage or injury” So by wearing ppe and behaving beyond the safest of safest ways that can be, a accident can still occur, or the meaning wouldnt exist.
  15. I take it back! [emoji1391]‍♂️
  16. Wont load?
  17. Oh dear! [emoji15][emoji33]
  18. Adrian flux? My current commercial van insurance is through hastings, not sure if they support specialist features? but you could always ask [emoji106]
  19. NFU, (national farmers union) prob a branch fairly local to you. Had all our farm vehicles with them, i still have home insurance with em, have had for 14yrs and no one trumps em year on year!
  20. You may be right Stubby! Hes clammed up and not giving anything away. Vesp has defo given him the hard word me thinks!
  21. Also to add, I was also recently offered a job on the outskirts of Cape Town which we were defo considering, but with all the riots and land disputes and government corruption etc out there at min, we’ve decided to put it on the back burner for a bit [emoji15] even the guy whos offered the job has returned home for a while till things settle. At nearly 40 yrs of age i do feel it would be a great opportunity to finish my working life in a better climate and also with less hustle and bustle on my doorstep........ we shall see.
  22. Been watching too much punch and judy i rekon!
