Who put the mescaline in the teapot?

It can feel that way at first! Easiest thing to do: take the whole thing to your local chainsaw shop. They'll recommend any new stuff you'll need to get it in running order again. Probably just a new chain, but maybe the bar is past it's best too... let them have a look and they'll sell you what you need. Edit: but crucially... ask them to fit the chain for you. It's a twenty second job that they should be happy to do for you. Then you'll be able to do it yourself next time.

Lots of options: throw it directly on the floor of your car instead of the ground. Pocket ashtray. Swallow it. Quit. I have other suggestions too, but we'll leave those up to the individual's imagination.

In recent years, I have thrown at least a dozen cigarette butts back into the window from whence they came. If I pull up behind a smoker at a traffic light, I get ready... as soon as I clock that they are smoking, it's neutral gear, handbrake on, seat belt off, hand on door handle, ready to pounce. As soon as the butt gets thrown, I'm out the door, and it's off the ground and back in through their car window two seconds later, before they've even started to close it. At first they'd often pick it up and throw it out again, so now I try and throw it behind them, so it lands in the back of their car. Such a rush, man. I heartily recommend this technique to anyone.

I was about to say stop wasting the lettuce, but then I realised that it's iceberg, which is already a waste of lettuce. Get better leaves, man. Have some self respect.

The human pelvis is capable of absorbing fewer kN than you would believe. Saws are cheap. Pelvises are not.

Thanks for the worry, nan! That was very much just a stop-gap measure, and was back to being a dog lead by the end of the week. I'm back to a manufactured lanyard now, clipped on to the breakaway bit of the harness. Cheers! I had the bar stay in the kerf in a falling piece once, not sure how. Held on to the saw, and the falling piece f*cked the bar, had to replace it.

I respect and admire sauerkraut as a way of preserving a glut of vegetable, but I infinitely prefer kimchi, which I think is a great deal more delicious and versatile, oozing with garlic and chilli as it is. But that's just the way it fits in my kitchen. Best sauerkraut I've ever had was from an Alsacienne chap at a French market stall, we got a big tray of kraut, studded with juniper berries like bitter little landmines, and a few things across the top, probably smoked belly, a few sausages, and a knuckle. But then he ladled on a slick of rendered foie gras fat, and turned something relatively mundane - it's just pork and cabbage, after all - into something phenomenal. ...and to be honest, now I don't think I could enjoy sauerkraut unless it comes flavoured with foie gras.

I can help with the answer to that one. It's both!

Don't worry boys, sooner or later he's going to slip up, then we can put this madman behind bars where he belongs.

Two Catholic priests are driving into town one day, when they get stuck in a queue to a police roadblock. "Sorry for the delay, gents," the police officer says to them when they reach the front. "But we are looking for two child molesters." The two priests share a quick glance. "All right," one of them says. "We'll do it."

Just a little crown lift on this sycamore.

Fair play to you CCTree, congratulations. Now the real learning can begin!

I really do wonder what exactly it will take for anyone under his spell to realise that they are on the wrong side of history.
-
Yeah, well spotted. Looks like it's all built by other companies and had a Zero label stuck on it for the New Zealand market.
-
I know, right! To my mind, the name doesn't really work on a few different levels, too. But hopefully their products are better thought out than their name?

Has anyone had much experience of the above named company from New Zealand? PPE & Height Safety Equipment | ZERO Height Safety ZEROHEIGHTSAFETY.COM We recognize the need to improve the safety of those working in challenging environments. Our range of height... I've never heard of them, but I was just doing a bit of window shopping and I stumbled upon their harness for just 250 euros, which is of course unpleasantly cheap. Thought I'd try and find out some more. Seems a lot of their hardware is made by Camp, in Italy...

More importantly, how much have you used a GRCS and comms together?
-
For the quiet, introverted types, that sounds like much more fun than a flat-roofed pub filled with football hooligans pissed up on Carling. Humans come in any number of flavours, you know.
