Welcome to the forum! What aspect are you thinking of researching/working on?

As for what I'm doing, the work is on the garden. My brother was down here 10 days ago, brought his chain saw along, though it was blunted by work he'd done in London for his son and a new delivery didn't arrive in time. Still, he cut a path right to the back of the garden, a great start. Since then...

Thanks everyone, my foot is fine just a straight row of very red dots where the liquid went through my boot eyelets. As someone else mentioned when I told colleagues what had happened they could not believe that I carry burns dressings in my home first aid kit. Good news, mostly, thanks for the upd...

Was grateful for my first aid kit tonight. Cooked a nice bit of (yellow sticker) beef for tea and as I pulled the roasting tray out of the oven it slipped and the liquid poured over my foot. Had my Magnum boots on and not barefoot thank goodness but the liquid seeped through the tongue and my sock,...

The car talk in the winter thread got me doing a sum I should have done years ago, so here it is with today's figures in case it saves anyone a wasted trip. This morning the motorway average is 192.0p a litre against 173.9p on ordinary forecourts. That is a premium of 18.1p, or £9.05 on a 50 litre ...

Oh Lil! You poor thing that sounds absolutely horrible. What a time for it to happen as well, when you've just had a big delivery. Grrr.

Welcome to the forum, James. Sounds like you've been working on some really important areas. And yes, at this time of year, heating is becoming more and more important. My heating has broken down, for instance :shock: I need to work on that. I do have two or three backups: the oven, a convector heat...

A mini chainsaw that can cut through branches several inches thick sounds fantastic! Bro has just rung me - his chainsaw's broken down (he's doing stuff for the son of his that lives in London), he's ordered chains from Amazon that will be delivered tomorrow, but he's not totally sure they're the ri...

Is your brother a regular chainsaw user? One of the more frightening things I have seen was a new neighbour trying to remove a very large apple tree with no thought at all to the weight and position of the branches he was cutting down. Thankfully he wore himself out before injuring himself and next...

... my brother is coming along next week while he's down south, and he's bringing his chain saw :mrgreen: brilliant opportunity to start on the weeding so I can grow crops properly next year. I am now trying to imagine what sort of weeds are so bad they need a chainsaw? Bindweed is a nightmare but ...
