200t, 576xp 15"bar 8pin sprocket or 24" bar if needs be. If I need anything else, I get someone with bigger saws on the job.

£1.4 million a year. Very fishy that one. I reckon they were looking for something and anything else was a bonus.

Privatised everything they could, decimated communities for profit (sound familiar?) and then she had a state funeral. Foul creature.

I like to think we call out all fundamentalists. Saying that, I did get barred for telling Jizzalot that I'd see him next Tuesday.

Air pollution is giving kids breathing disorders due to traffic volumes next to schools. You'd do something about that if it was your kid needing an inhaler. The way things are going in terms of accelerating the natural heating/cooling of the planet, the whole world is going to need an inhaler.

Nothing's made in the UK anymore. I just looked on my TV and it said "Built In Antenna". I don't even know where that is.

It's tricky. Imagine you've got the grandkids round (assuming you're an alpha male and have kids), you may well curtail your language. Occasionally, you'll stub your toe and let out a string of profanities. That happens, it shouldn't be the norm. Otherwise people won't learn the finer points of swearing.

I can understand the government cutting police numbers in the name of austerity, we live in a peaceful society. I'm not too sure this will end well though: https://www.fbu.org.uk/news/2019/02/20/government-“sneaks-through”-15-cut-fire-service

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2019/feb/25/theresa-may-pledges-200m-to-help-victims-of-yemens-civil-war Cashback! We still sell weapons to Saudi Arabia which are still killing people in Yemen. It's like a dystopian loyalty card.

Top-handled chainsaws: appropriate use and management
Mark J replied to JackArbAssociation's topic in Training & education
That looks sore. What dressing did you use to stop the bleeding? I carry Israeli bandage, fortunately I've never had to use it in anger.

Get a chainsaw crosscutting course done, do a first aid course, have a driving license and a good pair of boots (If you don't already have them). Scout about for decent firms, I'd probably go for smaller outfits initially while I was getting a feel for the job. Graft when you get to work. If you're unsure about anything then ask. Buy a decent tree ID book and consider doing a course in arboriculture part time around your new found profession. Don't sell yourself short. Good luck.

Aye, they look nice but they're a risky proposal.

I'd much prefer a hyperloop instead They could even include the North East in their plans if they did that. The needless destruction of wildlife habitats should be avoided. I've heard from people who that HS2 probably isn't going to happen. I hope that's the case, or I'll be climbing up a another tree or two and argueing with the High Vis brigade again.
