  1. Hmm, Ruthin is pretty close. Think I'll head over now
  2. Reckon you can get all that DNA out of the internals of your chipper? I dont think so. Anyway, why get rid of the body? I would string it up on a gibbet as a warning...
  3. Yup. Gives you time to dig out your banned, illegal, morally questionable but highly effective Russian assault rifle, bought off a dodgy eastern european geezer in a pub in Liverpool for £500 (also comes with 5 clips + Ammo). Theives tend to give up in disgust and go home after having 20 rounds of 7.62 calibre high velocity projectiles whistle round their ears. Better to be tried by 12 than carried by 6, thats what I say...
  4. Its true, my Irish setter is a bit (very) gay, but in the dark when he hears anyone about and barks, he sounds like a turbocharged wolf on steroids. All he has to do is let me know they're there. I have other ways of dealing with them...
  5. Dave, just ask Peter what happens when someone tries to steal my equipment. And did I mention I have 2 big dogs?
  6. Same thoughts entirely - I leave chainsaws and tools lying around in my yard, keys in all the trucks, never ever have any bother. I even have a good relationship with the local pikeys, no bother there either.
  7. If it happened as IC said, then I think he would get away with killing them in self defence. After all, they were threatening to burn his house down with his kids in. Fear for life defence, probably end up with a slap on the wrist.
  8. I would have gone after them in the car and run them down. Would'nt be the first time I've chased theives with the intention of grinding them under the wheels of the Patrol - even if the tried to get away on a quad...
  9. Ditto that. 'cept Id shoot their knees out then piss on their faces first. I'd probably end up in jail for it, but I think the red mist would descend....
  10. And Industrial accidents killed men by their thousands as the company owners had no responsibility to look after the welfare of their workers:001_smile: The obsession with HS has gone mad, but lets not forget the good they do. I would not ask an employee to skid timber out with a tractor like that.
  11. Yeah, he did really well. The only kind of car to really have the kind of acceleration that big bikes have are the high powered Caterhams and Westfields.
  12. Car will always beat bike on handling and braking though. At castle Combe, the Nissan skyline was 3 seconds a lap faster than a 1048 ducati.
  13. Nice one Matt - you kept that one quiet Me and Jim were talking about doing exactly the same thing though - could be an ace roadtrip.
  14. Wonderfull stuff. I can remember doing similar in a 754 county skidder.
  15. who said that?
  16. Not own goals on this occasion.
  17. Had my wicked way 3 times on sunday. Tired today.
  18. I would - if I was paying the heli hire bill....
  19. Great Tune. Juno Reactor, title music to The Animatrix. And in my opinion, one of the most pointless 'assisted fells' I've seen. Wonder if the guys had the chopper for free, because at about £75 a minute, it was complete overkill on that job, and looked completely un needed. Not even quite sure those guys were that safe, looked like the tops were dropping slightly before the chopper took the strain. Very odd.
  20. FMJ bought out Forestry and british timber including essential arb, and is now 1 publication called Forestry Journal. There is also Euroarb and World of Trees.
  21. Might be to big for you, but have you thought about a universal grinder on a mini skidsteer?
  22. What do you think its like?
  23. Correct. We just love to moan about them. Most of the bad news stories are old series vehicles that were run until they died. What you wont get with a LR is great build quality, this is where the japs stole the show, and why jap trucks are often better value, as they dont leak air, oil and water like LR's do.
  24. Nothing so funny as laughing at the afflicted:001_tongue:
  25. I like ladders for initial crown access, always come in handy. The trick is not to rely on them.
