I have the Oregon electric and am very pleased with it. I've cut far larger than the OP mentioned, repeatedly and quickly. I'd never consider using any chainsaw at height and always use the Oregon with proper gloves, a hard hat and a face guard. We're in the process of moving and the trees at...

It can work quite well ... in about 1% of cases. For the other 99% it borders on car crash business methods. I often wonder if the main and sub teams have limited telephone access to one another during the first day. We only seem to see them on the phone a couple of times. If they have a...

If I was spending money I couldn't afford to loose I'd either not bid on the item (and look out for something nearer at a later date) or make the effort to go and look before making the bid. For something at a throw away price, no I wouldn't care, I'd place the bid and keep my fingers crossed...

Personally, I would only bid what I could afford to loose. If I was planning to pay a lot of money for something I would go and look at it before bidding and, even then, it comes with some risk. I'd be pretty hacked off if somebody bid for something that I had advertised and then appeared to...

We have a surveyor, commissioned by our buyer, coming to check over our house today. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it will still be standing by the time he leaves - otherwise his report could make interesting but very concise reading.

Funny, I did that too! Mind you, I was pig sick immediately after doing it. I agree, excellent quality and very responsive.

On the subject of words and translation, I spent about 18 months commuting weekly to a customer in Hamburg back in the 90's. I got really friendly with many of the engineers at the factory where I was working and they loved to practice their English. They also had great humour, which is a...

It looks like we have a house move on the cards - swapping Surrey for mid Devon - a whole load of new hills to explore on my bike - can't wait!

This worked for us - we are now retired. When we were in business, not the woodworking industry, we were beholden to the general public for work. They could be fickle, unreasonable and very guarded with their money. It's all too easy to propagate prices toward the bottom so as to get work...

Most of my riding is in smaller towns and in the countryside and outside of rush hour. Generally speaking, the road users there and then are a reasonable bunch. Fair point though, in bigger towns and cities and during the rush hour, I expect that manners and keeping within the law go out of...

Most of what you have written describes my cycling. The only differences, in my case, is that I tend to wear lighter coloured lycra, at least on top as it's more visible in dull light conditions. I also always ride with flashing lights - not to aid my visibility on the road (I have non flashing...

Wiffy the Wizard and the toothbrush t u r d .... you couldn't make it up, could you?

Brilliant - I'd not seen that before.

No idea .... I must be far too old .... and sensible. I'm still not sure I know now - except that it must be a winning formula - especially when compared to Richard Branson having a wicked weekend away on a banana dipped in sewage.

This probably should be in the joke thread, but I wouldn't want to gum that thread up - best to save it for real jokes rather than total jokes: I know it's about entertainment and not really about proper business and I know that it is edited for television gratification rather than commercial...

In recent times I've had two Philips rotary three head shavers. The first started to give iffy results after about ten years and it was difficult to find a set of replacement blades that received good reviews. I took the plunge and bough a new razor about three years ago. At first the results...

I find these to be pretty good - that also work in T-Track as well. Axminster Trade Clamps Quick Lever Guide Rail Clamp 160 x 60mm | Axminster Tools

I built mine with the Parf II system as well. I also run my dust extraction with a wireless remote control. One day you might consider adding in a cyclone system (as I have done). while it may be nice to have an auto start dust extraction, for home use, a wireless remote works well enough. If...

I guess it’s just a matter of time before electric cars come with built in telematics (or something similar) and taxation will be based upon distance travelled. The same may start to happen with ICE, albeit at different rates so as to discourage fossil fuel travel and levy higher amounts into...

There's also the unpredictability when passing a cyclist due to road surface: When a car drives along the road it is likely to follow a straight route unless there is an obvious obstruction such as a pot hole which is avoidable. An experienced road cyclist is closely analysing the road surface...
