Yep, I've done some epic threads Richard, but I reckon you may be right. I've not done an epic on an EPIC (yet!!!)....

I'm enjoying this thread...

You should do an epic thread on an EPIC that has suffered epic failure!

If you fixed it instead, and were very happy - would that be epicurean delight?

Jim - based on failure modes observed on my 605 the upper radiator hose close to the motor should be nice and hot. That's assuming you wait until the motor is warm and toasty like a fresh loaf of home-made bread, before switching to GPL.

I always thought it was a description of their bark...

Why does the bark on Eucalyptus trees peel off?

Deanxm · Unread post by **Deanxm** » 31 Aug 2011, 19:41

Because its deciduous.

They're very sensitive...

The missuses garden has an Eucalyptus in it. When we moved there in 1995 it was just a little sapling. It's an absolute monster now, getting on for 100 feet tall...

They grow like the clappers... So perhaps they're like snakes and need to shed their skin regularly to make room for new growth...

When snakes reach full size do they stop shedding their skin?

My dad found that, his was getting to be a fair size too so it was cut down, the bark is really thick though and very spongy under the papery outer layer, holds lots of water too.

Oh and old snakes still shed their skin, just not as often as younger snakes do.

Here's a good one, at what time of the evening would it become unreasonable to operate a tile cutter?

Use it all night if its a traditional scribe cutter, mind you the accuracy of cutting may not be good until Dawn

Talking of Dawn she's having a birthday bash at the end of September and had the DJ chap phone up tonight making arrangements for music, what sort of music do you think will be suitable?
