  1. no one liked my little joke then?
  2. I don't think so Ed, a sheet piling rig we were working alongside just before xmas cost 750k
  3. keep my gob shut and take the money if the work is from a survey, if not i'll advise, if they take my advice good if not , not my problem. Off topic but i've seen some pretty dumb things on so called consultants surveys, wound paint, 50% reductions etc.....Lots of surveyers are landscapers or a bod from a property managment company and have no arb quals or experience at all, and it makes me sick!
  4. You'll find out what I mean , when you finish college and try and find a job in this game.. I'm not saying students are cowboys not at all, i'm saying they're to many arb stundent in college, and not enough jobs in the industry,I get a phone call or a CV in the post from a newly qualified arborist seeking employment week in week out..
  5. pm pete mctree
  6. I DIDN'T LIKE THE CRANE WORK PIC! THAT'S A TIP-OVER WAITING TO HAPPEN! have you got a ticket to use a mewp?
  7. Nobody will sell any farmland unless its only fit for sheep and floods yearly,for less the 30k an acre, well not around here thats for sure..
  8. Is this what your after Andy http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=VQXECBdPgEA A KILLER olivia NEWTON-john song......
  9. and what a joke it is! the uk is still made up of 80% countryside, the population of the uk estimated at between 59-62 million could all fit on something like 4 acres, we have 60 million acres on land and 60 million people, with the average house hold containing 3 people, every household in the UK could own 3 acres of land, obviously I understand the more spread out we are the more infastructure we would need, but i'm damn sure we don't need to be all cooked like we are,off the topic I don't understand why on earth this country grows arable crops, no wonder farmers need subsidys, less unproductive farming and bigger homes or homes out side of pilchard tin development zones I say! Too many big landowners out there imo, here is an intersting article http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qn4158/is_20070409/ai_n18998022
  10. oh well it looks like chiropractors, do have their benefits, i wouldn't chance using one though unless ALL else failed that is...
  11. Don't shoot the messenger, i'm just repeating what a world renowned back specialist said on national TV.. I won't be going to a chiropractor..
  12. No chance of that kind of thing in this country, we have laws,rules,regulations, legislations etc you know, especialy where building a new home or setting up a business is concerned..
  13. I've got my very own yard, 4.8 acres, plenty of room for chip, logs etc, its got barns, a stable block , water, telephone line, electric... troubles is its 33miles from home/base anyone want to hire it....
  14. Chiropractors going on a tv program I saw years ago are nothing but quacks! a leading back specialist [medicaly trained] said chiropractors do far more damage than good, I remember he said, does all that bone crunching and clicking sound good to you!
  15. cabstar, simply the best small work truck on the road!
  16. Wonder what Jon will have to say about that..
  17. Tree looked sound to rig from imo
  18. Well it all started off as a bit of a hunch , but like you say i'm on to something
  19. i'm concerened the world governments have been taken over by reptilian like Aliens! who plan on fattening us up all this with junk food, and plan on harvesting us once the human race has successfully been geneticly modified for good.. I need a gun!
  20. top marks all round good portawrap man and nice climbing, how tall was that sucker?
  21. Nice and handy that yellow lorry , but its an ugly brute wouldn't you say?
  22. Do you work for the council Bob?
  23. I agree Andy just another nail, but its the LEZ thingy I can't get my head around!
  24. What sort of price would you guys put on that job? I don't see a lot of gold in that single failed limb/pollard Sorry to put the kibosh on your post Bob, i'm sure i've crooked my neck looking at them pics. How long did it take you guys to put the tree right anyway?
