Oh, I get it, 'cut above average'
A permanent borrow is it?

Re: Lawn Mowers
I'm sure you dont really care - BUT... my attempts to revive my mower with a carby rebuild were unsuccessful. It went back together beautifully - but still wont start...
So I guess that means theres a "Spares or Repair" going on eBay soon - probably get $20 for it and someone with ability will fix it in 10 minutes and sell it for $100.... good luck to them.
Now - how do I tell the wife that instead of putting money on a deposit for a trip to Fiji for our 10yr anniversary next year, we have to spend it on a new f*&king lawn mower?

...Do you want a whipper snipper that I bought years ago and have never managed to start?

Bought a Talon Tough Tools AM3030 4 stroke mower (2yr old) off of eBay at the weekend. Does a very good job.
