  2. got my numbers in private mail I think
  3. ask away, if people dont like the question they wont answer, (or may answer with sarcasm!!!)
  4. I agree, if every member had spent 5 quid, at 400 odd members, that would have been over 2 grand... surely everyone could afford a fiver...... feel really bad that my contribution wasnt bigger... Kev.
  5. thanks for all the info, it has been passed on to an aquaintance who wants to save a "special" apple tree. dont know what they mean by special though. Kev.
  6. councils are obviously better round your way, here the travellers get away with murder (literally in one case!!) Kev.
  7. any one know a cure for the above???
  8. YOU COULD SAVE A LIFE STROKE: Remember The 1st Three Letters... S.T.R. My friend sent this to me and encouraged me to post it and spread the word. I agree. If everyone can remember something this simple we may save some lives and a lot of suffering. A stroke occurs when a blood clot is formed in the brain and part of the brain is starved of oxygen. STROKE IDENTIFICATION: During a BBQ, a friend stumbled and took a little fall - she assured everyone that she was fine and just tripped over a brick because of her new shoes (they offered to call ambulance). They got her cleaned up and got her a new plate of food - while she appeared a bit shaken up, Ingrid went about enjoying herself the rest of the evening. Ingrid's husband called later telling everyone that his wife had been taken to the hospital and at 6:00pm Ingrid died. She had suffered a stroke at the BBQ. Had they known how to identify the signs of a stroke, perhaps Ingrid would be with us today. Some don't die. They end up in a helpless, hopeless condition instead. It only takes a minute to read this... STROKE IDENTIFICATION: A neurologist says that if he can get to a stroke victim within 3 hours he can totally reverse the effects of a stroke...totally. He said the trick was getting a stroke recognised, diagnosed, and then getting the patient medically cared for within 3 hours, which is tough. RECOGNISING A STROKE Remember the "3" steps, S.T.R . Read and Learn! Sometimes symptoms of a stroke are difficult to identify. Unfortunately, the lack of awareness spells disaster. The stroke victim may suffer severe brain damage when people nearby fail to recognize the symptoms of a stroke. Now doctors say a bystander can recognize a stroke by asking three simple questions: S * Ask the individual to SMILE . T * = TALK. Ask the person to SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE (Coherently) (eg "It is sunny out today"). R * Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS. If he or she has trouble with ANY ONE of these tasks, call 999 immediately and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher. NOTE : Another 'sign' of a stroke is to ask the person to 'stick' out their tongue. If the tongue is 'crooked', if it goes to one side or the other that is also an indication of a stroke. A prominent cardiologist says if everyone who gets this e-mail sends it to 10 people then you can bet that at least one life will be saved. ….and it could be your own….. PASS THIS ON….
  9. would you be the big guy who was on the cs39 course??? still see Dave but he moved into rodding drains about a year ago (guess he had the build for that). Our tree work dried up about a year after the course, but I stayed there, been doing a lot of work in Hull, planting in East Park (for what it was worth). finally start a better job on monday full time climbing! sorry for the thread hijack.
  10. have we met???? it seems you know me!!!!!
  11. had a great day out shooting today........ didnt hit anything but the dog worked well picking up in a swollen river for other guns.
  12. no, just a big fan of duct tape, hours of fun for all the family!
  13. how about protective wellies with chainsaw trousers the waterproof trousers over the top, duct-taped to the wellies??? save a few quid I would think and more versatile.
  14. anyone used their little top hndle??? any opinions???
  15. my worry is that you would have to heat them to get an effective job and this may cause problems with the properties of the metal...
  16. try one of the wheeled ones for conifer hedges if the ground is ok. they can be moved from the basket and seem to be more readily available from hire shops. even a scissor lift when on tarmac / concrete.
  17. just had the standard turkey dinner but the wife did an excellent job.... looking forward to hare on new year though.... shot it myself a few weeks back. also got pheasants hanging and mor shoots to come.
  18. I use one wherever it can be justified financially, There is a farm mechanic place nearby that has a couple of these available at under 100 quid a day. great machine, sometimes access can be difficult but it will go most places behind the landy. Kev.
  19. count me in Kev
  20. our local rag ran a headline about a "santa slasher" the other day, apparently on one of the local estates someone has been going round cutting up inflatables... a crim with taste!!
  21. note the use of correct ppe!
  22. woo hoo..... going to see the wildhearts in cambridge on sunday night, favourite band ever..... cant wait.
  23. never seen quo but heard them a few times when they have played Lincoln Castle, drink in a pub near the castle walls!!!
  24. one drop of stihl 2 stroke and that suite would be ruined!
  25. heard a rumour of glastonbury.....
