You robbing get! Knock some more off it and deliver it for me and i might be interested! ?

Agreed also, i think if you do retire from the day job then you still need something to stimulate the mind and keep you active, something to get up for, even if its to walk the dog or cook breakfast for the wench etc.... if ya mind goes stale then the body shuts down. Seen a few leave work now and just fester and go down hill rapid because they’ve had no get up and go, and get up for goals to achieve. Sad really when you have worked all your life for it.

Got 3 or 4 bats out front of the house again tonight, they have been with us for a good few years but not seen anything of them just recently, just assumed they’d moved on?! Not too well up on bats and they’re goings ons? theyre great to watch and look at on a late evening. Half expected to find clues on where they’d been living when i re-roofed house at front, but nothing!?? Maybe in next doors roof space??! They seem to fly very close to house, generally at gutter height, but they fly in a loop, takes approx 10 seconds at most before they come back past, which is whats making me think they are living very near by??! Would take some pics but i’m not quick enough really!

If you can get to bearing ??with a grinder/cut off tool, then you can do it without damaging shaft no bother.

Only true to work old school stuff (10 - 15 yrs ago) i’ve ever know to ACTUALLY make some kind of penetrating affect was “unicorn unilease” and “plus gas” but the modern day versions are shite!!! In this day and age your cant beat heat and vibration for a resolve, but often results in knackered seals and other near by things taking a battering too. I think your bearings would be better off just being replaced. Heat / grind to get em off, then emery your shaft up ready for new fitment. Good luck [emoji106]

I think presenters are and have a massive part to play in such programmes. Those two a terribly shite and boring! Packham’s always been a twit and Strachan is just failed in music and should of stayed on tv-am for a proper battering off Timmy Mallet!!!

This is where a couple of cheaper Rotatech chains come in. Had very similar the other month when my dad wanted some remains of his old hedge lobbing off at ground level, and an old holly bush stump cutting up that he had also apparently washed off. Chains well dulled now, probably only fit for bin, but will attempt to resharpen (still learning the knack) but no loss really as bought for a purpose.

I sprayed everything with glyphosate when i bought my pad in late 2012, by time i had battered all work in house, moved out of caravan and in to house 10 months later, it had basically done its job and rid of everything giving me a clean slate. Didnt know what SSSI was till Edward C and yourself explained. All governing bodies are bloody hard work and make things chuffing hard work to sort out things that could be relatively quicker and easier! [emoji849][emoji849]

That was my initial thoughts, they’ll very happily eat all in sight but you’ll still probably get regrowth.
-
Whats reasons for avoiding glyphosate?
-
Just about nailed everything there that i can see coming when my dad passes. I’d happily walk away with nothing me for an easy life, but can see the arguments and excuses from the vultures lining up already [emoji849][emoji849]

Stop your whining Agnes..... just had a ride through Trough today, you need to get back to your day job rapid! Bloody Rhodies everywhere, never seen as many on a journey! ?
