Or when the cockwomble using the saw hasn't tightened it up. I was out at a tree across the road one night, the guys were cutting it up when I suddenly heard the saw rev it's tits off, clearly with no load. Went over to find the bar and chain in the tree, the clutch cover on the road and everything else in the bloke's hands.

Where are you in the country? People might be able to suggest a better place to have the work done.
-
That is a great idea!

I did slip mine in the wrong hole, luckily it was the better way round with the oil tank full of petrol.

Documentary series/box sets and the like worthy of a watch?
Toad replied to Ratman's topic in The Lounge
Has anyone suggested sex education on Netflix? Really enjoyed it. -
Booo. They sound like knobbers.
-
Yeah, same as the others have said, neither of mine looked like that when they arrived. Where did it come from?
-
What are the husky technical boots like? I was looking at a pair to replace the stein defenders I have which are pretty uncomfortable.

We had a big nest inbetween big hay bales a couple of years back. Lots of the stingy little shits.

There are a few on ebay each week but they make strong money for unknown saws.

I just got to the episode in the second season with the penis. Did a big laugh. -
I really enjoy that sort of shoot. Used to prefer walking with a gun to standing. Used to go beating for friends on a nice little shoot near Romsey when I was little, had a lot of fun back then.

I've done a lot of shooting in the past, had some great days on pheasants, partridge, duck, and shot a lot of rabbits, pigeons etc around the farm. I used to do a lot of beating about 15 years back and think that well managed, responsible shooting is an important part of the countryside and provides jobs, and local income. I cannot understand fox hunting when its been illegal for years and is a lightening conductor for all that is wrong with the countryside and one rule for them and another for us. It makes the rest of the countryside look bad and surely brings unwarranted ire against more reasonable activities. I also despise and can't understand shoots running 5 or 600 bird days, it's no more challenging than shooting a shed full of chickens and again makes everyone involved look like a gigantic bunch of dicks to anyone reasonable looking in from the outside.

Big CC Chainsaws a thing of the past or will new models come out soon?
Toad replied to Jamie Jones's topic in Chainsaws
What sort of dicks need 120cc to cut through? -
An excitable delivery driver and £50 will get a container in most places.
-
I think a 545 or 550 would be the direct husqvarna replacements. 3 series saws seem to be getting strong money on Ebay at the moment.

I've actually got a bog in one of our cattle buildings i want to fix this winter. Taking 3 months off the paid job to catch up on stuff around the farm. Not an idea time to be doing it, but the idea of trudging through sloppy mud and water for that length of time annoys me too much to leave it.
-
Whereabouts was that Bob?
-
I think it depends on the exact soil type, as you say OPC can be mixed in too. I've seen like used round here a bit and we are predominantly chalk, also seen it on a highway scheme where it was predominantly rubble under the road. Think it worked out OK there. Just need to be careful of any underground services as the machinery will soon incorporate them into the road base. The highway scheme I saw managed to put the rotovator though the gas main and the electric main in the first 10 metres.

There are a lot of rural roads that have exactly the same problem too. A hangover from their evolution from muddy tracks.
-
You're buggered really. No easy, cheap way of doing it. You could try to stop runoff from the fields either side, but that won't stop water running out of the bank or rain onto the surface. If it was a road you might put gullies in and try to find somewhere to take the water to. You could try digging grips into the banks to collect water but there probably isn't room. If you had a lot of money then you could probably find solutions, but I assume it isn't that easy? Are there steep banks all the way along?
-
As a few others have said, look at the lime stabilisation operations offered for farm tracks. No material out, little material in, decent result.
-
As I understand it, Cummings actual office was in another building and there is another door to Downing St, so it looks like his flounce off down the road with his box was orchestrated to get some attention from the press/public. There is also a rumour that he fell out with Johnson for referring to Carrie Symonds as 'Princess Nut-nuts'.

ABC level 2 Certificate in Arboriculture Lesson 1
Toad replied to SamanthaSunny's topic in Training & education
Worth learning how Word etc does referencing and keeps track of figures and tables as it saves a lot of hassle down the line. Difficult to apply halfway through.
