I've asked my mum to get a small hand held scythe from pakistan for me (they're called daati's)


Just rung her, it turned up saturday so I'll pick it up off her tomorrow. Should be just the ticket for cutting down vegetation round trees, fence posts etc.


Bah, that'll have used 8,000 gallons of kerosene so far.

Not if you hold it above ground level, thus further exacerbating the sore back.

Don't do it. For far too long these freaks have been alowed to live in decent society; they have to learn to use the correct hand at some point.
