  1. My boy having a excellent report at the parents evening.
  2. I love the smaller echo stuff (tho I now don't own any), and I binned husky off as the new stuff I ****. I'm pure stihl now. Going from a little saw like that to a 70cc range is quite a jump and most importantly a weight difference. If your logging jumping over fallen brash I'd want as light as I get and sod the 24'' off. I have nearly a saw in every class, and the saw I pick up most is still a ms261 (or my modded exhaust ms026, but she's rather loud. Same saw just older really). It has a 16'' bar and it does 90% of what I want log and felling wise. I have a ms391 as a chogging/logging saw, you can find them cheap as not really classed as pro range, but it's great with a 20" bar on and saves me dicking about putting a small bar on the 661. If your honestly set on a 24" bar, I'd only recommend the ms460 range (ms460, ms461 and ms462), and out of all them I'd get a looked after ms460 as parts are cheaper. I'll hopefully be bringing one home this week that only ever used 2 chains. Though I was using a 462 last week and it weighed less than my 391 and beat the pants off it (462 25" Vs 391 20") the cost is high at about £1200+. Before you go to get what ever you want, get the seller to send a photo of the cylinder/piston by taking the exhaust off. If it's scored avoid.
  3. I had brown sauce, that counts surely 😂
  4. 4 eggs 4 sausages 1/2 tin of beans Chips Brown sauce Then ate half the boys as well. So 5 sausages total and extra chips.
  5. 100%. My mates very fashion conscious wife has just had the grey windows, grey doors, new grey kitchen and bathroom. Reminds me of watching telly on the b&w TV years ago
  6. Yes to both questions. 1 neighbour who didn't agree with it even got his mindset changed eventually. And everyone at the council when I worked there knew, some I even took out for clays and pigeons and now being self employed I actually take my gun in sometimes as I'm requested to clear out pests of fur and feather. Life couldn't be better and **** the rest
  7. You can request it for it to be jabbed in the buttocks if that will sway you?
  8. I got a box of 32s here but nothing to put them in
  9. That's the first one in about 6 years that I've not bid on anything. I was chatting to the big fella, you'll know who I mean when you meet him (bloody hell I've met him 10+ times and can't remember his name, not Iain Souter), anyway, he said they've stopped taking in **** condition guns as they have to charge when they don't sell and then scrap all the rubbish that wasn't safe to sell that they used to take in and wouldn't sell for a quid, which is why I'm guessing that quite a lot of listings now have the barrel thickness stated.
  10. First time in years I've not bid on anything. Watching the carts go up, usually buy a few thousand but not this time
  11. It will take a lot of the air blast noise away, but I'd say that 75% of the noise you hear is the action working, especially as it's right next to your head. A good tune, would take a fair bit of the twang out and make it a lot less noticeable to you and what ever your shooting at, but you'll never get it as quiet as a PCP.
  12. Yes if it has a tpo on it you could be facing a fine. Trees that size usually have in built up areas
  13. Guessing they see it as subsidised off a day shooting at the end of the season, if you take a day on the pheasants as a £400 day. If you done 9 days beating 35 (£) x 9 (shoots) = £315 + £400( a days shooting and guessing nowadays a small shoot) = £715 Then 7 (hours) X 9 (shoots) = 63 (total hours worked) £715 ÷ 63 = £11.34 per hour worked. Well I think that made sense in my head. And then you hear of **** holes not giving a beaters day round here, really makes it worth it....
  14. After working for the council and having seen -every- tree in Gillingham on council land ringbarked, I'd say it's fine. One of those guys I worked with fully ringed about 10no 6ft apple trees 3 years ago and this year I was picking them.
  15. Well I think the back cut is too low/level and kinda lucky it didn't rock back on him in the dark and flatten him, or buck up and take his head off. Also, seriously, don't discount 16yos with saws, some lads start really young in the woods. I know a few now that would put a lot of so called pros to shame. Another thing I reckon being a amature job, that cut is high, anybody who's harvested timber properly would cut lower, that's a lot of wasted wood. Only reason you'd cut that high is if your doing a yanky gob or missing nails/wire. Only thing is it's sycamore, it's like a weed and will come back eventually
  16. Those were probably Prometheus pellets, came in little tubs of about 75 or 100. Zinc heads. Amazing penetration, useless accuracy, so ideal for a gat though they were/are expensive
  17. Sorry I ment have you picked berries yet, plenty about but not quite ready yet in dorset
