IIRC the chainsaw strides work by clogging the chain and the saw stalls just before top dead centre. Having constant torque, electric chainsaws can carry on a bit longer. Worth bearing in mind.

I just have a wallet, think I bought it TK Max. Holds a couple of bank cards and qualification cards that I need when I rock up on a new site. I've thought about making one but they only cost about a tenner or so and last for five or more years anyway. I'm not buying or selling secondhand...

One of my older brothers (who worked with explosives down a mine) once used gelagnite in a river. Said he would never do it again as it killed everything and he felt bad about it.

On my corded tools the chuck key, or grinder spanner gets ziptied to the plug end of the cable, means I don't lose it and also ensures that anyone swapping bits or discs over has to pull the plug out to use the key/spanner. To be fair, I don't go nuts tightening grinder discs up and can usually...

Secateurs, a very underrated tool. Feeding bits of dead gorse bush into a Kelly Kettle or just clearing a path of bramble twigs. Yeah, sometimes a knife does ok but especially the gorse covered in thorns is simpler and faster to pick up, cut and just nicer to use secateurs. I have some old CK...

Naah, be reet. Just lightweight ones, maybe some chubby guide dogs. Obviously they get their BMI checked by a vet every year and if they're a bit buff its a shot of immobilon and no revivon offered. I wonder if they'll use the flotation test to measure displacement? Bit like testing for...

I've bought a few 205 litre drums of methanol (maybe just three drums, I can't remember for sure) then stored em at mine to be picked up by a mate who lived in the hinterlands. I considered using some for a camp stove but he pointed out that its genuinely nasty stuff and methalated spirits is...

Yeah, but what about the dogs?

Are we there yet?

So the proposals changed from being a simple idea thats easy to establish to needing a more nuanced method of checking in the space of a few days. Thats kind of what I'm getting at and is an example of how something like Zombie Knife bans on blades with more than one hole in em affects cheese...

Ahh... Err.. Well. That's embarrassing... obviously I really meant to say Common Inkcaps. Ahem.

Don't drink alcohol from 24 hours before to 24 hours after eating them. The stuff they give alcoholics to stop em drinking is based on the active ingredient in Shaggy Inkcaps and will make you bad fettle.

Graffiti? He aint done nuffink guvnor. The bottom pic was just a white and black whippet photo I found on the net that had similar markings. The top pic is indeed our dog. Thing is, we got a Border Collie pup last time we had a dog, then he grew. Still the right shape but got bigger. First we...

Well, after putting my lad on the scales it seems he's 25 kilos and borderline candidate for Zyklon B inhalation. I've cut his meals and re-branded him as whippet status. Doesn't seem impressed but lookin on the bright side, his food bill has gone down. Yesterday... This morning...

So what about a seriously overweight Chihuahua? They can be nippy little blighters. Bit too much white round the eyes for my taste as well. Mebbe a portly Corgi? Oooo, proper ankle biters them. We need details man.

Good grief, is this a windup or have we been infiltrated by GB News?

Fair comment, we kept our last dog going for 14 years and towards the end it was pretty expensive. Eventually it became a quality of life issue and we got him put down. This one is a VERY mixed breed (4 breeds I know of in the mix) and I do know that mongrels have something like an average 1.2...

Ahh, now I get you. The premiums for one of our cats has started to rise a bit now he's getting on a bit.

Crikey, either you have a Crufts winning dog, something with a pre existing ilness or maybe shopped round for the worst deal. Our young Bull Lurcher costs ￡8.50 a month to insure although that doesn't cover fire and theft ;)

Chromatic discount? Sorted.
