Its funny reading this thread, funny in a good way.

 

I came here to say thanks to a few people who i have met or worked for in recent months, gone on walks with, talked with or just said some small thing that really meant something to me.

 

reading it again however just reminds me what a great community we are in here, sometimes were ALL a little harsh on newbies, but thats just a reflection of the strength of and imensity of characters within this community.

 

Skyhuck, your the uba example! a spades a spade and YOUR way is the ONLY way,mmmmm i get this idea that reminds me of someone? lol (shhhhh ME!) lmao

 

anyways came here to say thanks to some top blokes for the work, the encouragmnet the flattery support friendships and the laughs over recent months.

 

Xerxes, cutter1, for making the foray season one of the finest ever, you guys made it, as did all those that came on the foray with myself and Monkeyd, you all made this season one that i will always treasure.

 

czhey, arborist and giles for the work, its VERY much appreciated. As for Giles, well a debt is owed.

 

Tony S, for that random drop that always gives me a little reminder of what i aspire to be, a true proffesional.

 

to Batiarb, for putting up with my ****! and for the grenades.

Good luck with your adventure Hama:thumbup: sounds like you know what you

want hope it works out for you. You have certainly give me inspiration to take more of an interest into the fungi side of things and il thank you again for your help.

 

Ive enjoyed it here on arbtalk, a lot of arborists ive met at shows etc have tended to be arrogant and a bit hard to talk to so I wasn't expecting much from this forum but there is some good lads on here who talk straight with good knowledge like yourself and the lads you have mentioned. It's also handy to know when your having a bad patch someone on here is having a worse one and it will make you feel

as though you should stop wining:lol: I also like peoples honesty if I talk to some arborists I know theyl tell me they are flat out making a fortune even when they are not but people on here admit to having a hard time and this way people can help each other out it's good stuff

Whenever I have a truly epic day I think about all those folk who make this arb life so much fun, today was one of those days. Its now winter, the seminars are all over for the rest of the year, as are the shows. I hope you all have a great xmas and look forward to seeing many of you in the new year I guess it will be Capel next? the celebration of trees then Jonsies show, great days on the calender that i will be looking forward to because meeting up with you alls is top draw.

 

2012 is nearly here, ive got a PTI course in march, a veteran tree course also in march, a trip to bialowieza forest for my 40th birthday (if finances allow) a couple of great shows with some great guys (you lot!) mate 2012 is going to be epic dudes!

 

So thanks to all those mates who ive met, and gone on adventures with over the last 12 months, its been awesome.
