  1. Blimey, coke must be pricey up your way Dave, I'm sure in Manchester you can get it delivered to your door in about ten minutes for much less than that. Of course its mostly talcum powder and washing powder but its the thought that counts!
  2. Get that chap who was whittling axe handles at the trade fair to carve one out of oak for you. Bet he'd sell hundreds!
  3. Whats wrong with an overhand knot? Always works for me.
  4. I'll post it up here mate. 1 x GQ harness 1989 model 1 x 25 metre blue polyprop rope 1 x large dog lead snap 2 x bowsaw 1 x mccullough chainsaw Borrow them anytime, as long as you can collect and then drop them off when you've finished!
  5. Is the lock jack rated for a single line application? I know the positioner isnt, so I wouldnt be too surprised if it isnt. You would be better off with a purpose designed bit of kit such as a croll imo.
  6. Well, obviously I wont be lending my gear to anyone whos going to abuse it. But its the same rule for my crane truck as it is for my climbing gear. Id happily let you use either, but there are plenty of people to whom I wouldnt lend my toe nail clippers.
  7. No worries. How old is the chipper? I'v used one, and its not a bad little chipper. Had a few problems with safety cut outs, but i think that was down to abuse from different operators. As with any machine, sharp knives, decent bed knife, check the fluids regularly and everything should be tickety boo.
  8. dont SHOUT, its rude!
  9. Why? Harnesses and ropes are just tools, just like chainsaws or trucks. I dont really care who uses my kit, if they break it they replace it. Simples!
  10. Fujikura used to do them. They are now called sorbus, but the cambium saver retriever on their website has no pic and no description. Sorbus International | Speciality | Products
  11. There was a company selling them at the trade fair. Not sure who though.
  12. This one?
  13. Whats wrong with hand delivering leaflets anyway? There is a big difference betweeen leaflet dropping and door knocking/cold calling though, I think the LA in question really should get its facts straight before going public with comments like that!
  14. Stein are a german sounding brand of arb wear and equipment, based in Stockport.
  15. Would be a nice landy, (if there is indeed such a thing), if someone hadnt stuck a silly looking platform on the back of it. Get that chopped off and you'd have a half decent vehicle.
  16. Any idea what these fellows are? Host young scots pine.
  17. Is that in Stockport? Looks vaguely familiar.
  18. Damn, I'v been rumbled!
  19. Biggest set up in the history of television. The identity of the stig will never be revealed, as he is whoever is in the stig costume at any given moment. There have always been more than one stig and that is the way it will remain. IMO of course.
  20. If you've left it till now to worry about it, its too late.

    Saying hello

    Not so much double acts here, the best tree surgeons are team players, so when a thread needs some serious derailing, we all pitch in to lend a hand!

    No wonder your not smiling there Dean, some idiot has just chopped a big hole in your roof!
