I spy a sunblest basket in the undergrowth, those things escape into the wild all over the country! Funny you say about the brakes peds, the girls bike yesterday didn't have working brakes, I said can your dad not fix them for you, "I haven't got a dad" she said looking up with big teary eyes. Heartbreaking. She said she loves her bike but her friends bike has unicorn stickers on it and she wished she had some too. I wished I could've taken her to Halfords, got her stickers and fixed her bloody brakes!

Pooootin, such a great guy. I called him, I said Vlad, you know I call him Vlad, he calls me Donald, such a great guy. I said Vlad the people are dying, millions of them are dying, we have to stop with the people dying, so bad. So we made a deal, great deal, really great deal and now nobody is dying. People tell me Donald, it's so great nobody is dying, and they're happy and we're happy, so easy and nobody is dying, such a great guy.

Morning all. More sleep would've been nice but it's not to be. Walked round the chipper yesterday to see a lass, maybe 8, in a heap with her bike on a road junction and her stuff spread across the road. A little paper bag containing her prized possessions had caught the front wheel and she'd fallen off. Cars just driving around her, what an inconvenience she was, and people walking past on the pavement apparently not interested. I got a bag from the truck and we picked up her crayons, bracelets and assorted colouring books while she proudly told me all about them, then we got the chain put back on her bike. Thank you for helping me she smiled and off she went. It's sad and I was quite angry at how many people came across her on the road and just went around. People can be so shit. On that happy note, have a good one folks!

I listened to a podcast series recently on this, just horrendous. The way people were treated by these officers, and the money at their disposal to spend as they saw fit with no checks by anyone, for year after year. They were buying houses, motors, basically bankrolling the people they were investigating, and mostly the evidence they were collecting wasn't even of criminal behaviour. One that stuck out was "She requested my assistance logistically to convey seating equipment to X address". What heinous crime was this organised criminal engaged in? She'd bought a picnic table and 4 chairs at a car boot sale and asked the guy she thought was her long term partner to take it to their home in his van!

There are things I know that I don't know, and things I don't know that I know, but one thing I know that I do know is... I really don't!

You could've been head of a secondary school maths department Rich.

That just makes me feel queasy. Socks should be worn at all times when not in the shower or under a duvet. Even though the masseuse giggles at the sight of me naked apart from the skimpy little shorts provided along with my trusty socks. "take them off" she says, "you be comfortable". No thanks, I'm not here to be that intimate!

Morning all. Lie in! What a humid day yesterday was, lot of rain and some thunder later in the day too. Outlook better today at least. Wasn't much going on yesterday and I ended up reading back over this thread from the beginning. What a good natured, friendly and positive place it is! In that spirit all the best to contributors past and present. Have a great day folks.

Boots for outside, slippers for inside. Anything more is bourgeoisie.

Don't think they give a printout of the stats as standard because they're of little use to most saw owners. Last time a saw was at my dealers just out of interest I asked for a printout and got it no problem. Was interesting seeing the rev hrs on it and remembering where it was when the high/low operating temps were recorded (Brittany/South Scotland), but not much practical use, carb settings etc mean little to me.

Just remember me when I'm too decrepit to be a productive Arb Jake, you can put me in a nice new machine to see my days out! Hope it works out for you.
