Here is a little project I have had in the back of my mind for a while ever since I came across the alloy poles in the local scrap metal yard.

So what piece of you brain stopped working. That is nearly the most insane thing I have ever seen well next to a sawblade in an angle grinder with no guard............
Take some professional advice cut it up. and buy a proper pole saw .....

Ya know what PM me your details and I get some acquaintances of mine to give you a shout........the lads with the white helmets and hi-viz vest on .......they normally carry clip boards ............or would the lads in white coats who carry jackets with buckles on the sleeves that tie behind your back be more appropriate.......

While I agree Iver hadn't the best idea with the pole saw, and agree with the safety concerns, I think people are being overly hard on him, reckon he's gotten the message in fairness.

Muckit · 04-12-2013 6:46pm

At least it might keep him around to be able to f**k us out of it

Don't think anyone should take it personally. Nobody has a problem with iver, it's the design idea that we are all finding fault with, not the designer.

can you hire a pole saw? i heard you cant hire chainsaws anymore for insurance reasons

I have hired poled saws alright.

At least from an engineering perspective it was quite good, clever trigger mechanism etc. Perhaps you can re-engineer to something like a power washer extension like this for the roof of the shed, gutters, etc. and the rest into one of those chainsaw log horses

iverjohnston · 06-12-2013 12:25am

So that got a hell of a reaction. I suppose I had got blasé about the forum charter, and the fact that everything you post can be used against you, and if a government agency takes an interest, a court order will deliver your identity in jig time. Also thanks to Stock for offering to send his acquaintances from the H&S round, but I must decline your request for my name and address. Get a court order if you are that interested.

So, to close

Bit of a chainsaw fetish going on there ivor :-) how many saws does one man need? I think we should have a boards amnesty where you could hand them all over...... for your own safety like

Don't worry about being investigated. It's the myth about helicopters flying over when you are burning bushes.

Best of luck and fook the system

You wouldn't say that if you got a knock on your door like I did from two state employees directly referencing your presence online.

I'm not going to be more specific just to say that it happened. From something I typed online two people working for the state arrived to my door, without any prior contact with me. Out of the blue.

No one has to believe me, I'm not pushing it on anyone. I would be safe in saying Iver has nothing to worry about. But if someone were to admit something serious online (wasn't my case, but was related to a serious matter), then don't be surprised if you get a knock too. Out of the blue.

There's no one anonymous on the internet, no one.

In fairness Conmaicne are people really trying to be anonymous? I think most people on here give enough away about themselves to be fairly easily identifiable.

Anyway if they turned up at your door only for that reason then the stasi/kjb are alive and well in Ireland.

lads, ye have to realise that every computer, laptop, phone, ipad, tablet that you use can be traced. Everything you talk about on your phone can be monitored. Everything you type and upload to the internet can be traced back to your internet connection and to your machine. If you think you are anomyous you are highly mistaken!

My post was in relation to the thinking that it's a myth and doesn't happen. I'm not worried about people being identified, there's no problem in that in itself. It's the lad who might naively think he's talking to his friends in a quiet corner at the mart and might admit something he shouldn't.

Was sitting in Court one day, waiting my turn. A young lad was up ahead of me, had gone out contracting and lost a packet. Solicitor for the finance company was arguing with the judge to try and get hold of other machinery, currently in his yard. Judge was not allowing it, as the other items were his late fathers, and by extension, now his mothers property. solicitor then started down the track that the young lad was selling off machines for cash, and could well afford to pay. He denied this. Solicitor then produced print-outs from Done Deal, and proved that the phone number given was linked to the young fellow, and that he was using the name on the ad as a psudenem . He was able to prove the machine was his mothers property, but it was touch and go for a minute. A lot depended on the fact that the Solicitor had pissed off the judge 5 minutes beforehand in the previous case.

I really don't get it though. If you don't want what you say here to be linked to you then don't say it, but why close an account over it? That doesn't help anything other than maybe stop you saying anything else in the future. But it isn't just Boards. All emails, all forum posts, private messages, anything digital like text messages, there is a copy somewhere. Even if it's deleted it's still there, it just takes the right person to find it.
Actually, funny story, someone asked me to track an email for them that was sent from an "anonymous" account and it tracked to some corner of a city over in Canada. I was fully sure it had to be wrong, that it was being sent through a proxy or something, but when I went back and told them the address they said they knew exactly who it was. At the end of the day it was only a joke, but if you can track an email to the other end of the globe with very little technical knowledge there's a lot more that can be done by people who actually know about this stuff, or law enforcement.
