Always needed a sugar boost then when it came to blockin down stuff like this;

Exactly, a 200 should NEVER be compared to a 192! Would anyone compare a 460 to a 660 for the same job? I have both, the 192 is modded and is a very good saw, well worth having for pruning, BUT it isnt a 200! If you want to try a 192, get one as well as a 200, and share the workload. You can never have too many different sized saws.

I can make sannies for all who attend, some will be charged for(you can choose the filling) and some will be free, but i will choose that filling:sneaky2:

I would also like to say thanks to all fellow arbtalkers who have shown great concern for me over the treatment i have recieved from this man. Many thanks to all who have emailed, PMed me and even called. I have been inundated with offers of contract climbing and services, but must apologise for not replying to all, there really has been so many.

Well Bob, here you go, here is a pic of Sarnie McSnaffler. I really thought he would want to give good impression on his first job with me but no, so here goes, watch out for this man, this pic showing him on another desperate sarnie snaffling run;
-
Thanks for the offer mate, maybe next time i get something bigger than a Rowan to climb:blushing: The finance doesnt bother me, mortgage rates coming down, fuel costs also, work rolling in, all the kit paid for. Even hiring a top money climber to do a half day job in two days on day rate, the thing that really gets me, is someone else feeding from my trough- he actually nicked my sanni both days! I feel so offended i might name and shame, or even post a pic........if i had one:confused1:
-
Be too long for me, anything over 1.5m is a tree!
-
I think that was the problem, the tree was tooooooo big for anyone round here so i thought i would get a pro in. Perhaps its just because i`m such a soft touch and cant find any good climbers near me. Dare say it was because of this he felt he should take liberties.
-
P.S. Dean, I do like your new image, goaty beard....and a bit of hair too....i hardly recognised you!
-
Ok mate, all is forgiven then. I wasnt going to name and shame, but now its out i can accept your appology. Cheers mate:001_tt1:
-
Think i could suffer when he does:ohmy:
-
Just a name John, i`m 12 stone really:001_tongue: He calls me the hedge hopper so i couldnt climb a 70 foot ash tree could I?
-
I had 2 days of that behavior:sneaky2:
-
Sharing the wife with this guy could have been an option instead of my sannis, but i recon he would be too skeered of her!
-
Ham salad, lookin at the size of him, and the speed he ate it, you would say he`s not eaten for a month!
-
Ok, for the last couple of days, had a contract climber in (won`t mention his name on here though). Got off to a bad start, his car broke down, I then ran this guy arout like a taxi service, put him onto a reasonably priced garage near me, sorted his car. The job itself was easy peasy, so he spent most of both days lazing around chattin, managed to do a crown clean on one tree in the two days. He supped lots of coffee, had loads of ciggy breaks and was well chilled for the duration. All this i can cope with, even giving refills on his flask, after all it was lovely weather for hanging around outside chillin, but, the last straw came when he ate my lunch! I mean, how low can someone get, to eat another working mans sannis? The issue is now, should i pay him, was the lunch incident a step too far?
-
I would climb on one like that, in fact i do:blushing: I think all my ropes have some scars, but if you are so worried, use another till its checked out
-
Sure, i get what you say but it will need the 60 million "joe bloggs" to spend the money to get that £750,000,000 in your quote. I guess time will tell, or as they say in yorkshire "the proof`ll be in the puddin". I shall wait with baited breath from the 1st December to see the u-turn in the economy:closedeyes:
-
I did notice on the news lastnight one guy on the street who was interviewed, said he would buy a new TV and computer games on the money he saves this xmas. Just goes to show how much the hipe can mislead people, I mean, come on, how much do people really think they are going to save? One thing i did notice with the new tax changes was that VAT reductions will be until the end of 2009, but, it will be paid for in parts by increased income tax, duty on fuel, tobacco and alcohol etc but these increases will be PERMANENT!
-
And they say this will kickstart the economy! I`m affraid £12.50 off a £500 item is hardly going to sway anyones decision is it? Just utter madness.
