Oh Stupid

Ha Ha.Last week the wifey complained the lawn was not cut short enough.

So we had the blade sharpened also bought two new spacers.Again hardly cut the grass down.

So i checked it again.I had put the blade back on UPSIDEDOWN.

Can you believe that? We have had that Flymo for years.

I've done that with a chainsaw once, put the chain on backwards.
Needless to say I figured it out when it only managed to polish the tree bark a bit instead of cutting.

If you think that's bad, my cousin always cuts wires on lawnmowers and strimmers through carelessness, plus she once put her hand in a lawnmowers blades that had stopped working. It started up again, and took off the top of her fingers (not much though). She has done other similar stuff, it's amazing she's still alive!

Flymo's are crap anyway! I got shot of ours and got an old cylinder mower, much better.

I hate the damn thing.Always get the cable wrapped around me legs.So i do a crap cut and thats why the wifey is cutting the lawn.
I also want a push cylinder mower.

We have a petrol mower A self propelled one, not a sit on one. So you just push a lever and off you go
Its great, no cables to get caught up in or worry about, you just check the petrol and oil, prime it then go
It was a bitch to get started after the winter though. I had to mess about with it and prime it alot, then it started with alot of smoke
Takes alot less time to cut the lawn aswell

i liked my gran's method of cutting the lawn

big heavy cylinder mower on a sloping garden

she used to tie a rope to the washing pole, tie the other end to the mower and push it a bit until it would go down the long garden on its own

the rope used to stop it from going into the hedge and she'd then pull it back up and do it again.

I use these to cut 'my' grass!

a woman round the corner from my mum's had a petrol mower and filled it with petrol in the shed and then started it in the shed. Boom! the shed went up and so did she. Fireman got called to a burning shed, put it out and then when they were clearing up they found her behind a nearby bush. she was [just about] alive at the time but i don't know what happened to her long term, only that she had major burns.

so moral of the story, don't refill and start your petrol lawn mower in an enclosed space.

This is my little nippy go cart that i sometimes use.

This is my other toy to use when cutting grass. Its a picture of me cutting the grass.

Your little tractors are nothing

If I had a bit of money and some land I'd get one of these http://www.etesia.com/uk/

I had to buy one of these, Joe, for the grass in my back garden.

Yeah, but mine comes with an experienced operator who knows about flexibility, the importance of a steady hand and a brilliant performance, yours is just ... mechanical.
