It was me it happend to , and the forwarder was a valtra valmet derived machine .. blame the twat on the forwarder then.. Don't blame someone that is competent, can even tell you which assessor it was . I wasn't driving the forwarder, nor was I the assessor..so blame those to useless hunts. At the end of the day it was a question I answered honestly , and itbwas in the days before candidate feedback

On my small felling ticket I forgot to put my gob in, then pushed the tree over with my knob, assessor didn’t like my 18 year old confidence, so I bitch slapped him until I passed.

It was a 400’ mahogany. 15’ butt.

Decent lie in doing the crossword etc, couple of diy type jobs to be done. Booked a Crete holiday for next August and thinking of what I need to do with trip to old folk in Devon. Truly awful rain storm yesterday evening so didn't get to the Brewshed! Enjoy your Sunday! Warren, Peas.

As an aside I passed, but probably shouldn’t have. I was safe enough, but very, very green. I think the assessor passed me because he was worried we’d both get hypothermia, I was that slow. He did warn me I had a LOT to learn.

This thread is going to quickly escalate into bullshittery and bollox of the highest order, largely made up of nonsense and things that never happened, but good luck with the ‘data’.😂

All the organs of the body were having a meeting, trying to decide who was the one in charge... "I should be in charge," said the brain , "because I run all the body's systems, so without me nothing would happen." "I should be in charge," said the blood , "because I circulate oxygen all over so without me you'd waste away." "I should be in charge," said the stomach,"because I process food and give all of you energy." "I should be in charge," said the legs, "because I carry the body wherever it needs to go." "I should be in charge," said the eyes, "because I allow the body to see where it goes." "I should be in charge," said the rectum, "because I'm responsible for waste removal." All the other body parts laughed at the rectum and insulted him so, in a huff, he shut down tight. Within a few days, the brain had a terrible headache, the stomach was bloated, the legs got wobbly, the eyes got watery, and the blood was toxic. They all decided that the rectum should be the boss. The Moral of the story? Even though the others do all the work.... the asshole is usually in charge.

What did the potter say to the venture capitalist? We're going to make a kiln.

What size trees where these when a forwarder couldn’t get it down? 😂

I was failed at Sparsholt college , Loads of experiance passed all the tree felling assessments bar a hung up tree...got the tree hung up, couldn't get it down using approved techniques ,instead of the assessor taking over the situation ,I was told to get a forwarder -forwarder couldn't get the tree down .. so i failed on that element. Shouldn't of been a failure but the assessor was known to be a knob. What should of happend was the assessor should have taken over the situation and got the tree down. The were alot of assesors back then that didnt like a confident experienced 18 Yr old back then

Well it all depends on your ability. If you’re the finished product, capable of anything, then yes, he is. If that was the case you’d have had a few calls or chats in pubs from other firms tapping you up. But if, as I suspect, you’re still working your way to that, then maybe a couple more years, climbing every day, till you are more complete would be better before waving the big stick. Especially as you’re paye with all that entails. It is a vague answer, and I’ve assumed a lot I know.

Morning team, bit of drizzle. Heading to my mates to drain the fuel lines in the mog as I ran out of diesel the other day and choked them up! mind the high winds and hopes of a Co-Dom Willow! Fridays call out

On my basic chainsaw course 30/31 there were 4 candidates being assessed. 2 were older blokes who were whingeing throughout about how ‘they’d been doing it for years and didn’t need a stupid bit of paper, they knew it all, blah, blah blah.’ They were both failed after the workshop section, and didn’t make it outside to do any cutting. That was in Newcastle. A long time ago.

Morning lads Weather can't be worse than yesterday🤪

Morning all, Fine blue sky days ahead now. Mega amount of rain yesterday. Have had a lovely time with our 3 “children” and other halves. I’m cooking brunch then back to quiet house with two old goats and their old dog. Happy Sunday
