and a damned fine furniture polish it is too

One of the best furniture polishes I've never polished the furniture with

Nah, pubes and chin hair are structurally different, although a stray beard hair can look suspicious and it depends on where found.
So, MCW, no luck with the thigh ticklers?

 

[Terry Syd]

Well, since it has past the test of interested parties, if we ever have a GTG I'll bring a dozen bottles of the furniture polish to distribute around to anyone that wants to properly finish the rounds they cut.

Was back out again today for a few hours tidying up the few remaining stumps. Basically got it all done in a couple of hours and the property manager asked me to drop a gum they had near the compound which was growing over a 15" irrigation mainline (PVC).
Not too hard but I hadn't actually brought any wedges or felling gear with me so for now just cleaned it up a bit around the base and dropped one side out of it...

What sort of gum Matt ?

You have flowers, caps and leaves, there's no excuse you know :msp_tongue:



A beautiful massive gum that stood on the western side of the local primary/infants school was dropped and chipped last year and I've always wondered what it was as the heartwood was a lovely deep yellow.
I mentioned it the other day at lunch with friends and my mates son who goes to the school quickly said "Tasmanian Blue Gum"

Hmm, there are some mates of it's across the highway in a park so i finally stopped the other day and grabbed some leaves and capsules.

Well, it looks like the arborist's might have gotten it wrong, it isn't E. Globulus, it's E.Globulus subs. Bicostata or as the Royal Sydney Botanic Gardens prefer, E.Bicostata as they reckon it's a different species to E. Globulus.
We'd call it a Southern or if you are south of the border, Victorian Blue Gum.

SWMBO has now decided it's her favourite Gum so I'll have to plant some and it may be native to here as I think a big tree in the back of the neighbours is one too.
Geez i love this disc Matt and Al. :msp_thumbup:

Nah no luck mate. Doctor said if I keep taking horse steroids orally, rectally, and intravenously I'll grow more than just awesome sideburns...

Maybe we can run the saws on it Terry? Be like a shot of 50% Nitro

Not sure what sort of gum mate however I failed to identify a gumnut at 300mph off the 7900 that hit me in the top lip and stung like all hell. Certainly made the eyes water.

You're right about Euclid. It has the capacity to put a few tree know-it-alls back in their place.

How do ya get a job as a merkin.

That can be easy, as long as you're not picky about who you're working for. I'll bet if you're big and harry enough you could get a job working for Rosie Odonnel without much competition for the possition!:jester:

 

[8433jeff]

Can't imagine any competition for that position, or the missionary, or reverse cowboy, or any position involving Rosie, except executioner.

Did I just type that out loud?

She could do with a Brazilian all the way up to her neck! :msp_scared:

 

[Terry Syd]

My first thought when I looked at the picture of the Merkin, was 'how does she keep it in position?' - then I formed an analogy to how a thumbtack stays in position and decided I didn't really want to know.

 

[Eccentric]

Now that is just all kinds of wrong. I'm amused by the pic, but can't bring myself to click "like" when it has anything to to with that skanky, evil broad. Best use of photoshop I've seen for a while mate!

 

[MCW]

Al is a Photoshop guru when it comes to assembling hot chicks for his own perusal. Such as above...

 

[RandyMac]

Time for a classic beauty, to dispel that evil.

I also picked up a saw from a mate on Tuesday (similar chainsaw business to me) that had died after I'd fitted a 76cc 372XP BB kit to it.
Funnily enough both saws had died in quick succession while the two owners were cutting firewood and both had 76cc BB kits I'd fitted. I'd also tuned them properly as well.

Anyway my mate had played with them both and managed to get one running. I grabbed the other one off him (as I was interstate for work and not far from him) and pulled the muffler when I got home later that evening - as expected it was a torched P&C. I rang my mate and told him to pull the muffler on the other saw and low and behold that had the crap scored out of it too despite running and starting.

Despite what the owners have said it is quite obviously no oil in the fuel. When you have two saws go down one after the other on the same batch of fuel it generally means something is seriously wrong.

Ouch that sucks!

 

[MCW]

Ouch that sucks!

Yeah these two guys have tried to pull the wool over my mate's eyes in regard to this issue. One even told him that his saw was still on the original tank of fuel it was supplied with despite showing signs it had done a fair bit of cutting since it was sold.
Them's the breaks when you sell saws etc I'm sure Stihl, Husky, and other dealers have seen it all.

My local lawnmower dealer has an average of 2 Victa's a week come in that have been straight gassed.
He doesn't mind, it's good for business

It all works well till ya fanny fart!

The Yanks probably won't understand your comment - a 'fanny' in America is what you sit on.

Which is why I love US based boards with US English word censors.

We can get away with so much more naughty stuff

When I was in the Army, the strangest colloquialism I heard was some good ol' boys from down South talking about going out on the weekend and getting themselves some 'cock'.

Yes, they were talking about women, but damn if I could figure out how that term was derived.

I once helped a Vietnamese guy with translating a written legal advice he had received. He had his book out for translating, but couldn't understand it. I took a look at the advice and some idiot had used the phrase 'it's in the bag'. The poor bloke was trying to do a literal translation and getting nowhere. I picked up his dictionary found the Vietnamese equivalent of the word 'colloquialism' and cleared it all up.

Considering how many different cultures use these forums, I'm surprised more misunderstandings don't happen.

I knew what that means! But do you know what EH means?
