I hope they are better behaved than the Palestinians that were at my local gym. They got banned,only so much anti Israeli graffiti and letching on the girls to be tolerated. Imagine the surprise that one of them got,when banged up for sexual assault he recognised one of the former gym members was now his warden. Funny old world.

What does soaking your chains achieve?

Oh? So the asylum seekers from the same places, that are coming to the UK will act differently? How and why so?
-
Then there was that time the asylum seeker decapitated the buss driver and murdered two other passengers. Such vibrance! https://www.ba.no/nyheter/trippeldrapssiktet-skulle-sendes-ut-av-landet-i-dag/s/1-41-6962670

I am frankly at a loss as to what your point is Bill? I dont try to shoot any big game in the heart,never have,never will.

I have lived two miles from one for about a decade, want me to spam this thread with all the links to sexual assaults,rapes & murders ? But it would do no good,since your link to the Gardian article and opinion trumps first hand actual experience Here is one link to the time some refugees in the local center blew up part of the housing whilst making home made explosive. As you do. To pågrepet etter eksplosjon på asylmottak i Arna WWW.BT.NO Svein Harkestad så folk løpe ut fra asylmottaket etter eksplosjonen.

Well... 50 prominent woman,none of whom will live anywhere near any asylum hotels are only in that article to boost their own profiles. Be interesting to hear from 50 woman local to the hotels ,no?
-
You tell em prominent Woman! That'll show em. "Signatories include the musicians Paloma Faith, Charlotte Church and Anoushka Shankar as well as Labour, Green and independent MPs including Kim Johnson, Ellie Chowns, Diane Abbott and Zarah Sultana." Hardly a comprehensive list of grass roots Woman by any means.

A digger suitable for site clearing and housebuilding digger.
Mike Hill replied to difflock's topic in Large equipment
If they are going to be loading trucks with it regularly,then they need something on the larger end of the scale.In my experiance diggers are a bit like chippers in that when you double the size,you trebble the efficiency. I wouldnt be too concerned about resale value in the fact that any money lost off sets the cost of hire or hiring in. Personally I would look at a 8 to 14 tonner.The haulage costs will be the same and the "hour toll" will be lower on the bigger machine. -
That is a shame. But why would you come back?
-
Its a shame that you didnt emmigrate,it would have increased the IQ of both nations.
-
You know that funnel webs live in the ground,Arborists work in Trees Yeah?
-
Because its mega expensive and has a short shelf life? Honestly never heard of any Arbs getting bitten by snakes,loud noises scare them off apparently.
-
Because anti-venom goes off and needs to be kept refrigerated.

This is it in a nutshell. The first generation are easy enough to deal with,council flat and the dole keeps them happy. The real problem begins with the next generation who dont feel British but are not totally ,say Syrian either. These folk are the ones who generally become radicalised.

My Grandfather shared your sentiment Mark. Even went so far as to light sugarcane fields to flush them out.
-
I live in Norway mate,most people's gardens are pretty wild on the west coast. Plus the cost of dumping chip is pretty high
-
I run a setup not dissimilar to the one shown.Here the chip stays onsite 90% of the time,the versatility of a tracked machine with a drawbar and winch is unrivaled .

I think you are right that some of your priorities knowledge will be helpful. You won't be fast at anything that takes years to build up speed on. Crown reduction, section fells,job planning etc. You can't teach that on courses,you only get the basics,the very bare bones that take years to flesh out. I don't know the cost of all the tickets you will need,however why not volunteer for a few days at a few firms. Talk rates with the lads and see if it's for you?

I am not a miserable old bloke,but with nearly 30 years experience under my belt. I was giving a 33 year old farmer with no experience my advice. It would be the same advice I would give anyone,at 33 working for about £10 and hour wouldn't be what I would call a clever career move.He was asking for advice,not whether he could actually do the job. The man is looking for opinions on his options,arb being one of probably many jobs he could go for. Can you remember all those ex forces new grads that Kingswood produced?
-
I bet you are right matty,but how much could our man expect per day ,on the books with no experience? Diligent or not,he is going to.be playing second fiddle for years.

You won't earn bugger all in Arb with your current tickets or indeed the tickets you plan to get. You just won't be fast enough. Consider doing a trade such as plumber/ sparky. By the time you are trained in those fields you could go start your own gig earning propper money. That might take 4 years,however if you started your arb career tomorrow, four years down the line you might be a competent climber but competing with 22 year olds who have the same experience as you. Best of luck.

What the most unusual thing you have found in a tree

Very nice! I really like the look of a hammer gun. -

Do you give a discount for taking away the wood and branches? I know how much you get selling them to B&Q
