[vduben]

you have erotic dreams about climbing equipment

 

you keep your car keys on a carrabiner

 

your chainsaw boots are the envy of all the local Goths in the pub

 

You spend 'quality time' on arbtalk:001_tongue:

i dont quite say bad work to my other half because they all look the same to her but i do say i did that one pointing and leaning forward in the car to get a good look, usually followed by ''doesnt look TO bad''

[Mike Hill]

When you have rolled at least one chipper

 

Chipped an annoying co workers Mobile Phone

 

Put slugs in above co-workers sandwiches

[Mr Ed]

Taken a pee from the top of a tree just for the hell of it

 

you are one of the few people that can actually justify a 4x4

 

your friends think you are slightly barmy

[John Shutler]

you bore people to death when drunk, going on about how great trees are

[Steve Bullman]

your annual holiday is at cirencester

[John Shutler]

you dont tell the misses exactly how much you bought at the show, because one bit of kit could pay for a weekend away

[arbogrunt]

when you get in the bath and a piece of Leyland Cypress floats out of a place you didn't know you had:ohmy:

 

.....when you buy a drink in a shop and hand over some change, you hand over a load of sawdust with it.

 

When you hit 40 and all your mates have got beer guts and you're the same skinny barsteward you where when you were 21!

[Amelanchier]

I was at a wedding reception in Chester the other day at some great Hall (Willington?). After I got appropriately liquored up I accosted the receptionist about the numerous Ganoderma fruiting bodies around the base of a Q. ilex immediatley over the dining room. Bless her, she listened intently as I slurred on about the need for professional inspections and selective delignification... she even wrote some stuff down (probably went straight in the bin after I staggered off!)

 

Now that is sad.
