  1. top tip maybe in future tips, run the rope in a loop round the whole load and tie both ends to the container and drive forward? if you get me? pull the whole lot in one go. get a larger one at the front to pull all the rest as you drive.
  2. is anyone gonna rent you a car if you lost one already, carlos? hehehe
  3. this guy stole them. hahaha
  4. the stakes are straight, its the world thats on a skew
  5. second that, once broken in theyre great. but to start with theyre a pisstake.
  6. noted, but the photo seems to show lean towards the field? subject to top weight on the tree, and wind direction. "close" to the house is also subjective my final comments being if theyre sufficiently worried then drop it. even the best of us cant or wont state unconditionally that its safe to remain? i never state that any established tree is "safe".
  7. another vote to leave it alone, probably take some weight off the top with a professional reduction. questions to consider: how much top is on it? cant see from the photos supplied. what will it hit if it fails? looks like a bit of fencing and an open field? which way is the main wind coming from? the ultimate answer is if youre seriously worried and can afford it maybe it needs to go.
  8. only ever trying to be an arse, get to the bottom of things, firmly seated in the moment, butt sometimes people rear against me. i suppose if my arse is online not on the line, its got bluetooth and wifi so it must be a smart arse.
  9. she said, chelsea.
  10. ya cant have a yew truck, it just wooden work
  11. cue a hundred responses all claiming the boots they wear are the best not many people have tried enough different pairs to compare i favour protector pro, full leather and over the ankle for good support, once they wear in.
  12. fyi that was like 20 for each saw. im running multiple saws, some with about 15-20 new spare chains some with only 3 or 4 spares.
  13. like it says, how many is too many or how many do i/you/we need? one on the saw and a spare? handful of spares? a shelf full of spares on the principle that the price is only gonna go up? is 20 too many?
  14. that ladders upside down
  15. seconded. looks similar to part of tool-free chain tension set up
  16. no second line in then? or tool line? oh dear oh dear oh dear.
  17. sure, buy a 16 yr old a chainsaw, why not throw in a 44 magnum as well? give him a silky till he knows what hard work is. then go for a 661. or be dull and sensible and go with a 550
  18. legs
  19. monkey colouring book - peaceful reaction
  20. am i the only one spotting that this is an electric touchscreen, installed in an electric car? thus will use more of your fuel than a simple non-electric switch? or am i missing something? how much more battery power is that big-ass screen gonna use over a bunch of switches?
  21. shifty lookin characters the lot of them
  22. thats one fat chicken for a man with no mortgage and suchlike.
  23. youre looking at stihl x-flex type c. ventilation zips. comfortable. etc.
  24. £115k a year pension do they need to chase for more?
  25. i think some move to southern europe for the winter and come back in spring
