  1. I have bluetooth in my van, and I find that a phone call still distracts me too much as I'm driving. Maybe that's just me being simple but I can't take calls and drive safely. In my opinion using the handset whilst driving is extremely dangerous and quite rightly criminal. Anyone caught doing so deserves the inflated fine and points.
  2. Unlike Most saws there is a small bracket that has to be removed in order to move the guard out of the way so as the blade can easily be removed. Well there is on my one anyway. This was fine for the first blade replacement but on the second time this bracket snapped very easily. I made a new one with some bits of steel knocking about the shed but I feel that the evo saws aren't built to last as well as other saws in that price range, such as metabo. The small fiddle bits just make it more awkward than the single screw on other saws.
  3. I had to brake hard in the van and 20 sheets of ply shifted straight into the saw. It didn't stand a chance. It was my own fault for not loading it properly. It still cuts fine but it can't be adjusted. Its only good for less accurate work or cutting fire wood. Metabo is a good choice tho.
  4. Evolution saws are good value until you have to change the blade. Then they are a nightmare. I have a 110v dewalt that no longer cuts accurately. You can have it for £20 if you can collect from south of B'Ham.
  5. Just save the money and buy Stanley. You'll be gutted when it falls of a scaffold or gets nicked
  6. We went on a holiday to Scotland using tokens out of the sun paper. Cost us £38. I proposed by the river Ayre. She always insisted that she didn't want to be engaged for years on end so we decided to set the date exactly 12 months from the day of proposal. I jokingly suggested we do another sun holiday for the honeymoon and she was up for it. Cost us another £38. What a gal 😀
  7. 28 oz estwing framing hammer. Handles most jobs with ease
  8. Firstly good luck! Don't forget to keep all of your receipts and although you can do the dreaded tax return yourself, a good accountant should have plenty of tricks up his sleeve that you may not be aware of. My work all tends to be on site and so a valid cscs card is essential. You may already have one but hopefully you can stick to domestic projects as the health and safety is just getting a bit silly now. As previously mentioned a good deposit is important although a carefully worded quote with lots of small print is essential. :-)
  9. I am new to shooting and new to pw. I do not have any permission of my own. I shoot clays and have paid a farmer for days shooting pigeon. Reading previous posts and threads I am trying to gain permission using all of the sound advice available on this site, although this is at best easier said than done. I agree that the farmer may do/allow/trust what or whoever he likes on his land, but he will only ever be looking out for his best interests. If a fellow shooter was kind enough to take me out on their perm then I would never dream of trying to muscle in on the action. To go to the farmer behind their back is sneaky. Trust is something that is hard to earn at best. Why throw it away
  10. If this guy had done nothing wrong wrong then he shouldn't of had a problem with helping the police with their enquiries. He created the hostile situation. I hope it hurt.
  11. That gun is stunning. As said in previous posts I'm sure you will regret selling. I had to wipe the dribble.
  12. Me too and I agree. If you go to anywhere like howdens, Travis perkins, etc. Never accept the first quote Cruz they always start high
  13. Sturgeon is a trouble maker, always has been, always will be. Sometimes it seems as though the scots (especially the SNP) will always disagree with the English regardless of the subject matter. I think that if brexit is ever to be a real success then we all need to be on the same team, simples. Unfortunately it looks like it will turn into a political showdown. Question is, who has got the biggest pair of ******** Sturgeon or May?
  14. I wanted to buy a thermal base layer for when I go running in the winter. I looked on ebay and found some at a ridiculously low price from a Chinese seller. They don't need to be perfect because they are going to get trashed anyway (wolf run). So I purchased them and I honestly did not expect a great product what with the stigma attached to Chinese products and the price. They arrived and as expected were poor quality with loose stitching. The item description said "high quality product manufactured to a high standard". So I sent photos of the **** thermals and highlighted this point to the seller. The money was back in my account with 24hrs and I was asked not to leave any feedback. My point is that if the item description does not match the product then negative feedback is fair game after the seller has been given an opportunity to put things right. I didn't leave any feedback.
  15. I can't help but think of the old saying "if you want something doing properly. Do it yourself"
  16. Self employed carpenter. Shop fitting mainly.
  17. Well this is a tricky one. I think that the wishes of the bride and groom should be respected as it is their day after all. But unless they wish to offend then it should be a blanket rule for everyone except the very closest family. Personally I think that children should be welcome during the day at least. It seems to me it can be very easy to offend and or be offended.
  18. I wouldn't say I hate it but, parties have never been my thing. I think sometimes there can be too much pressure to have a good time on new years eve which results in a let down. I'm also far too tight to spend a load of money on food,drink, taxis etc. I'd much rather spend the evening with a couple of ales and the springer. oh and err the wife.
  19. Its either smooth, radio 2 or absolute 90's when listen to the radio. I put the ipod on shuffle today and the first three songs were Dolly Parton, Here you come again, Highwayman, by the Highwaymen and Metallica Ride the lightening. Then the wife turned it off and put backstreet boys on. Grrrrrrr.
  20. I couldn't agree more and I'm looking forward to my next visit. I would say that variety is never a bad thing and I'm looking to pick up a nice piece of British history next.
  21. My name is Chris but, for the past 15 years all of my mates have called me John. To this day I still haven't a clue why and I also have very long shanks.
  22. Hi all. I am new to the the forum and relatively new to shooting. I enjoy clays and shoot pigeon with a friend although I do not currently have any permission of my own. I have been reading previous posts with interest and look forward to gaining advice and knowledge from like minded people. Happy new year everyone 😀
