I recently commissioned a pick riding pic just for you, Joe. 

 

Good man. One slinging one cutting?

 

I had to read "pick riding pic" a couple of times.my mind went straight to the vulgar

If you put your fag down your cutting and holding technique would probably improve.

There wasn't a lot of holding going on, hence the collateral.

Nope I'm out, only tree I won't climb 

I'll climb them, but I'll draw the line at limb walking and chucking over phone lines. That's why i keep BT junction boxes in the van.

I'd genuinely rather be on spikes free falling that than clearing the unholy mess on the ground.

Yep. It was only that one dead thing nestled into the back of a hazel stool that we did like that though (yes, we considered choking the hazel stools too). I'm fully on board with the flying slinger technique. Passes time-and-motion.

 

Spiky solidarity on the monkey puzzle.

"£1000 and I'm going to moan like a bitch all day." is my stock answer.

This was the meat of the job.

I took a different tack. "I won't moan about the tree if you don't moan about the phone lines"

 

The manhole cover was just belt and braces to illustrate my point.

The daughter of the client was highly shaggable and very interested in the hero strapped to the tree.

 

Annoyingly both times she visited i was up in the tree so she couldn't witness my debonair personality and rugged good looks. More annoyingly is that I'm in a committed relationship.

 

Life can be unfair sometimes.

That redwood was in the grounds of a fake boobs clinic. But alas, no procession of chesty onlookers. We did it on a Saturday so the crane could block the road that the Range Rover Evoques use.

I hear that mate.

I did a dead one once and when I got down my groundie looked like he’d been in a fight with a lion.
