She’d be handy round the yard if ww3 breaks out! Wifey might not be impressed though 😜

Simple answer, none. Keep an eye on ebay sometimes they show up there a bit cheaper than retail.

Ok, thanks. I'll try it again and persevere with the next one. I'm intrigued by the mechanism of how it works. I think it might be something to do with osmosis. Fluid moves towards the stronger concentration of the paste, taking the thorn with it as it moves.

Benefits of a good vocabulary... I recently called an old engineering buddy of mine and asked what he was working on these days. He replied that he was working on "Aqua-thermal treatment of ceramics,aluminium and steel under a constrained environment." I was impressed until,upon further inquiry,I learned that he was washing dishes with hot water under his wife's supervision.

I can understand a yellow snow warning, but what is a yellow ice and wind warning all about?

I've been trying to get an appointment with my doctor for weeks. I finally saw him today. I showed him the boil on my arse. He just completely ignored me, and continued pushing his trolley around Tesco.

What about hiring in a mini digger with a rock breaker hammer for a day? Split them into quarters so you can man handle them easily.

Eddie I am thinking of buying a Case 580. When did the first Cummins engines come on them, was it the L series or earlier? It’s going to be used on a farm mostly.

The Royal family?^^^

What about some of those NZ or Oz dealer boots? No laces, just slip on/off.

What type of wood are you planning to put through it? Have a small hj 5 here and it works ok with ash cut down a year ago. Not many of them around though.

I lost out in a promotion today to a very attractive, diligent lady 20 years older than me. I was really down until my work colleagues said ‘don’t cry over a skilled milf’.

Miss you, many happy returns and I mean that in more ways than one.

I confess to buying the Lidl one to just try one out before buying a proper electric saw from one of the regular saw brands. I’m farming so not a pro like others on here. It’s really useful for stop go work beside a chipper or hedge laying. Get the biggest batteries you can, mine is 20v and came with two 2 ah batteries. They last about 10 mins cutting time. Got some 4 ah batteries and they are much better, more cutting power and last a lot longer. Watch out for oil as normally we top it up when putting in petrol. Biggest logs I’ve cut are ash about 10 inches across. Very happy with it so far, haven’t started a petrol saw since getting it!

Nice bit of moss dug up by a bird at the back door here, now I don’t know was it for food or a nest. Also noticed willow buds swollen yesterday. Hardly caused by COVID or brexit is it?

Look up Land Rover + Cummins + 6bt on YouTube some evening. Looks good until the diff goes 😀 might not be great for emissions either but it would pull the skin off a rice pudding!

Not going to be too many floorboards of this one anyway. 14 inch circumference so about 4.5 inches diameter. But this one branched out low down so there’s two stems.

I'll get back to you on that, hedge where mine is hasn't been cut for 50 years.

Not recently planted anyway, I just never noticed the seeds before at this time of year. I think the berries are purple/black during the summer. Thanks for confirming it.

Never noticed these pink seed pods before, they are in clusters of 4 but have only one orange coloured seed in them. Still a good few leaves on them. Anyone know what they are? Tree is about 20 feet high.

Lopper works fine, extended handle is ok, saw blade is a bit meh, I just use the lopper. Is it the one with the adjustable angle head? This was €30

Paddy was on his death bed and knew the end was near. His nurse, his wife, his daughter and 2 sons are with him at his home in Belfast. He asks for 2 independent witnesses to be present and a camcorder be in place to record his last wishes. When all is ready he begins to speak: "My son Seamus, i want you to take the houses in Shankhill." "My daughter Geraldine, you take the apartments over in Malone road." "My son Patrick Junior, i want you to take the offices in the city centre." "Bridget my dear wife, please take all the residential properties on the Upper Lisburn Road. The nurse and witnesses are blown away. They did not realize the extent of Paddy's wealth. As he slips away, the nurse says to his wife "Mrs O'Shaughnessy , my deepest condolences. Your husband must have been such a hard-working and wonderful man to have accumulated all this property".. "Property?", his wife replies. "The ****************er had a window cleaning round."

Agree with willow for kindling. It’s growing wild in our NS, about 8-10 m tall. We cut it and stack it between 2 trees and leave it there for 2 years to let the wind dry it with no cover.

A man has a dentist appointment. Before he goes his wife wants to 69. “No, I dont want to go to the dentist with you all over my breath” he says. But she won’t give up so gives in. When they finished, he goes into the bathroom and brushes for an hour, flosses for an hour and gargles with lysterine for an hour then goes to the dentist. He’s sitting in the chair and the dentist walks up and says “Ok, open up”. He opens his mouth and the dentist says “Oh my God!!” and quickly turns his head. The guy says “ Oh doctor I’m sorry about my breath!!” The dentist says “ No, your breaths fine. But your forehead smells like shit!!”
