Or him and his mates could look like a bunch of shit stirring Ollie Muirs fan boy little bitches, it’s balanced on a knifedge. 😂

A cabinet maker friend told me to oil my newly finished furniture once a day for a week, once a week for a month, then once a year for life.

Stupid as Mick? I am quite surprised by now that no holiday maker currently on site has refuted the Haven claims and sent photo images of these 100 or so immigrants to the local press etc. Or that no journalists or even somebody representing Reform haven’t sent someone down there to collect some evidence. Hopefully the press release by Haven turns out to be lies, and your mates turn out to be right.
-
Are these ‘wardens’ the same guys who invited you to the Tommy Toe-rag gig down in London? Maybe they have just heard the rumour and jumped the gun, misinforming you? Are they still making this claim now Haven have denied the rumour?

If I had a big enough freezer I would freeze them first, I reckon that would sort out any chute issues.

Some of todays pick, peaches, tomatoes, red and white grapes and Padrons. The Padron peppers are my particular favourite, splashed with a little oil then blistered directly on the BBQ grill, a little sprinkle of course sea salt and viola. I have a glut of apples/pears this year. I have been making fresh juice with the apple press, but the heat is causing large amounts of fruit to fall, too much to deal with all at once. I was thinking of putting them through the gravity fed chipper, straight into a vat for making Cider, anyone else used a CS100 or similar to macerate apple’s successfully?

The Leicester City fans have a particular opinion of him.

I’ve never owned any but have handled them, very nice build quality and those Japanese know a thing or two about making a blade that holds an edge.

It is quite therapeutic cutting the hovering bastards in half with a sharp pair of Felcos.

I was working at a house just down the road from me last week. The owner keeps bees, has 15 hives and has a wild bee hive in his barn wall, which was where we were having lunch. The bees were being predated by Asian Hornets, the bastards hover at the entrance and snatch the poor drones as they leave the nest, clip off their wings and carry them off to their young. They are pretty aggressive in comparison to the European relatives which are pretty passive, and I have clear felled whole blocks of Sweetchestnut around nests in the past, even climbed past nests without issue, felling the tree would get proper on their tits though, he is a lucky boy.

That will be interesting to see, especially if there are any long spans in the build. I used to train one of the companies in the SE who would remove/replace sea defences made of Greenheart/Purpleheart. They could install large curved groins with huge lengths of timber being tensioned with 360’s.

We have been battling the heat for months now, with hardly any rain, currently watering to just keep things alive. The okra have dense foliage so cast deep shadow on the soil at root level, seems to help them deal with the heat.

Todays pick.

There is a hole in the end of the shaft that allows you to pump grease through to a hole which sits directly under the Husqvarna needle cage bearing, no need to remove anything to grease it. There is a hole on the end of the shaft On a Stihl, unfortunately it has no function, amazed that Stihl hasn’t adopted this design, especially with the amount of MS261 fails that I have seen coming in on training courses.
-
Husqvarna needlecage bearings are still made from metal, Stihl only changed them around the time they updated to MS261/362 etc from the earlier models.
-
I generally grow the things that I cant buy readily here in the shops, very hot chillis, Padron peppers, and oddly, mange tout. This year I’m growing Okra for the first time, so far dead easy, lush plants just starting to produce an abundant crop, pretty flowers also.

Bet those beams weigh a fair bit. 😂

I always grease the nose sprockets of my saws, all my saw run aftermarket bars (Sugi/Tsumura) once the stock bar has worn. Get back to the workshop, sharpen the chains, clean air filter, blast all the crud out of the side casing/guidebar groove and grease up on reassembling, never had a nose sprocket failure in 30 years. Needle bearing probably once a week/fortnight, takes two seconds with Husqvarna no point in not doing it.
-
Developed for the fire fighting cutters I believe, as the burned char and ash caused excessive wear on the sprocket nosed bars. I’ve seen them supplied here in France as milling bars.

Importing a Greenmech CM200MT40 into France
5thelement replied to Matt Vaughan's topic in General chat
After contacting Greenmech UK in regard to purchasing and importing a used chipper from them, I was given the number for someone at Greenmech France, and informed that this would be an easier solution due to paperwork. Not so good for me as the same machines where a good bit more expensive and the main dealer was a good six hour drive away. As usual with France, phone calls were made and emails were ignored, no reply was ever received about my enquiry. It would appear that sales people in France can’t even be arsed to follow up on a guaranteed sale. I managed to buy a used Greenmech Arb 150 privately in France and it’s been a solid investment. I quite fancy updating to the new 130 turntable or possibly a 165D if I could ever arrange a demo. Hopefully I could trade in the Arb 150, if not, I may have a a chipper for sale in the near future and you’re only an hour away from me. -
So with the exception of Norway, you will need to be granted a work visa or permit for Sweden and Finland in advance. I would assume that visas/permits are issued where skills shortages have been identified, rather than handed out to anyone irrelevant of need, like sweeties.

I am English but have lived and worked in several countries over the years, I moved to France for a different way of life, I work both here and occasionally in the UK.
-
No point finding work if you are not eligible to do it though. You can travel for 90 days, but you can’t work unless you have an EU passport, or have applied for and been granted a work visa.

What you talking about about Willis?
-
Without question, and even if it was within RIDDOR days, would it even qualify to be required to e acknowledged, sounds like user error bullshit to me.
