Hes doing that thing that Alfie does where he pretends he cant quite see the hen, therefore doesnt need to do anything!

At the risk of repeating myself, I would avoid harnesses with big rigid back supports if you have back trouble.

If youre spending £300ish, you could get a full size laptop, unless you want the long battery life and portability. I have a bog standard Dell I bought from Tesco for £275 for all my work stuff. Keeps the Macs free for the fun stuff.......

Personally I think its more about how you wear the harness. If it is too high, the back pad immobilises the lumbar region, which is bad for back problems. Wearing a harness lower across the top of your pelvis allows the back to do what it should be doing, ie supporting your body by itself, and allows freedom of movement. Personally, I find Komet harnesses always ride up, however I adjust them. I am in a TreeMotion, which is fine. The Petzl and Treeflex would also be good choices for a lower slung approach.

Under UK consumer law your contract is with whoever you bought it from. If you want to make life difficult for yourself and go back to the manufactorer who is based in another country and wont have a clue who you are then go ahead!

Whoever you bought it from.

I couldnt possibly comment on the genuine tree firms issue on a public forum. I do do some of my own contracting, but the subbie stuff is bread and butter at the mo. Like many of us, I do what I need to do in order to pay the mortgage....

The Sequoia is pretty lightweight and minimal, but also pretty comfy. The srt features are also handy, i would go for the srt version over the regular model. Which heightec did you try?
-
Sequoia all the way!

Hmm, thats interesting, as Ben's house was the first to be built in woodland for several hundred years. I believe the condition for no resale has also been overturned?
-
A Ben Law style house would be great, but it took him over ten years to get planning consent, and then only on the condition that if he ever left, the house couldnt be occupied by anyone else. If your thinking of a different approach, and dispensing with the plannig, then your looking at ten years of living like a wanted criminal, with no services to your house, before it can be legitimised. I do know someone who has successfully done it, 20 years ago, nowadays with satellite mapping I think it would be even harder.

Yes, I hear there is good money to be had in running private beastiality events for rich Londoners.

Whats so good about being single for 20 years?

Used to work for an LA on street trees...... Every year we would remove around 25-30% of the previous years new planted trees...... The LA in question had a policy of replacing 2 for 1, which is great, but they got the gardeners to plant them in winter, not so great. A lot of the failed trees had had their roots chopped off with a spade to get them into the hole....... We also had stumps that waited so long for grinding, they were added to the removing epicormic list every summer.....
-
Doesnt look that dangerous to my untrained eye.... Callousing on the split suggests its been that way for some time, if it was going to fail due to that it should have done it by now. I would suggest reducing by 20-25%, and see how it goes, then if she still wants it down do it in a year or so. Just my 2 pence worth.

Tbh mate if i was as good a climber as these goats id be very happy indeed!
-
Cool. Whats the best type of crime to get into then? I want something low risk with high profit margins, indoors with no heavy lifting, probably something along the lines of insurance fraud or credit card cloning?
-
Or point endless brickwork. Welders can make good money at it, but who wants to use a very hot thing next to a plastic rope that is all that is preventing you from plummeting to a grisly death?
-
Clearly the only solution then is ban goats from taking part in etcc comps.
-
I would stay in the uk for an arb degree

"Pre-97 Driving License required" - when will this stop?
Peter replied to paradise's topic in Training & education
I think you missed the point, vehicles over 3.5 tonnes, ie cat C1. Even if you hold B+E you still cant tow over 750kg on the old C1 entitlement, and if you have a post 97 licence and take C1 as a seperate category, you can tow anything with your C1. -
Myerscough offer a degree in Arb, with distance learning options. Other unis do offer various forestry degrees, but for specifiacally arb Myerscough is probably your best bet.
-
Its good that you two would still be working together too. I always have the bikini waxing to fall back on.

My strategy of charging £1000 a day and only working one day a week is paying off handsomely i'll have you know! At least it will when someone gives me some work!

I presume photos are extra?
