They do exist, but things are usually done much more informally, ie you establish a working relationship with a firm, the boss rings you at 10pm and asks if you can come in tomorrow and chip a big pile of hawthorne in a muddy field, and then you dont hear from him again for 3 weeks, when it happens again. Of course, if you are lucky, you find a firm or firms who give you more notice and regular work.

My old transit crewcab, with the ply sides, average amount of tools, two men and one dog weighed 2650kg. My new truck weighs 7600 kg empty, but thats another story.....
-
Yup, read them all, including the Tiffany Aching set. The later books are completely different to the early ones, all good though.
-
I'm sure you'd be able to choke it down if you added a little cement to each dose.....
-
Nice one!
-
Perhaps you should start a new thread for that paticular poll. Polls are very popular these days, everyone's doing it!
-
Nice pics, although I have to say that the standard of your thread titles is definetely slipping. You could have had Fungi, Fractures, and Feathered Friends, or even F,F, and Falco tinnunculus if you wanted to be a real swot!

The positioner is good, but the Trango Cinch is better.
-
Send em to me mate, i'll scan them, burn them to a cd, and post them back. I bet you'll still get them posted first!
-
Or maybe still in the box brownie?
-
Yes and yes. Try a distel or helical, nice and smooth, not too much sit back.
-
Congratulations Ross, hope it works out well for you.
-
Yes, I bet it ended up in the river too. Wonder what they did with the brash pile? Dynamite springs to mind!
-
True, thats why I wear gloves. TBH iv cut myself with a silky more times than I care to count, and the average silky blade is surely going to be teeming with microscopic nasties. Personally I think bacteria in bio oil is probably the least of your worries with regard to getting infections in cuts. The brash that inflicted the cuts in the first place that was covered in bugs and bird excrement is probably more of a concern.
-
I get adverts for apartments in Monte Carlo, classic Aston Martins, and special deals on Walther handguns. I guess they really do tailor those ads to suit the individual!
-
Bio oil is capable of growing bacteria, so a cut from a chainsaw with bio oil will be treated differently to a cut from a chainsaw using mineral. I dont plan on cutting myself with either, so its not a big issue for me.
-
Spot on thanks, its that black and green stuff, teufelberger?
-
Used that one this morning to splice up my new lanyard!
-
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!
-
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!
-
Whats wrong with an overhand knot? Always works for me.
-
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!
-
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.
-
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.
