  1. Clients were pleased.I thinned it a bit,the Beeches here are often full of crossing branches,took them out and kept the thinning to that. Reducing it any further would probably ment that I ruined the shape I recon.
  2. I don't do many crown reductions,one or two a month max.The client asked for the tree abit smaller.I was trying for about a 30% crown reduction. Does it look about right for that? Before
  3. Next time you work there. The sun will be beaming,the garage unlocked,inside will be a fridge full of Beer. Crack a few open... "When you get home"
  4. That looks smart Mick! Three way tipper and a tidy cab to boot.
  5. Did you get paid for the extra's? The last remark he made would have made my blood boil.
  6. Cracking Tree Johnny! Top job! Pictures like that are the ones you'll treasure in the future.
  7. Since its Red,I could probably throw it further than a 338.
  8. Congratulations mate! Best wishes to you and the wife!
  9. Cambium saver Silky Lanyard Sling and crab Sometimes more gear,but generally the above is all.
  10. Great web site! I have just ordered my "Captains of crush" coat or arms as well as a "Captains of Crush" training CD. Awesome!
  11. Most gyms will take you through and induction,just showing you correct form with weights and machines.After that you are free to do the program that you please,there are heaps of them on the net. The best thing to me about going to the gym,is that I always feel better when I come out than I did when I went in.
  12. I like mine. I mostly do takedowns and I find it excellent for that.Also there isn't much to absorb water,thats a big plus to me here. I have been snagged a few times by the clips that are attached on each side.One day I will get around to cutting them off. I will one day also rivet on some buckles so the braces off my old Komet will plug into them.A big saw drags the harness down for me.
  13. Do the Deer eat the Acorns as well as the leaves?
  14. Went there over over the Xmas period.You can get a ferry from Sharm to Hurdaga if its running and then a bus to Luxor.From there get the Train to Cairo,$30US overnight including dinner.Great service but getting a ticket can be a hassle. I think you might tire of Sharm in a few days,its so much different than mainland Egypt.You will need to get a Visa at the airport if you wish to travel off the Sinai peninsula.Costs $15US,get it at the visa desk at the airport. Really enjoyed Egypt on the whole,went to Luxor,Cairo,Alexandria,Port Saied,Ismalea,Sharm etc. The food outside of Sharm was exceptional and the people alot more freindly than on the Sinai Penisula.Get to Luxor if your able.
  15. She really did sound mental,fair play to you though.Some times when difficult clients sense they are winding you up,it only makes it worse.
  16. They did the same thing round here last summer selling Generators. Flash car,fake accent etc.
  17. If each pair comes with free Herpes,then I'll let you keep them.
  18. Horse logging is obsolete. Moose logging is the future.
  19. Only if you rebuild the water ski's,otherwise no good.
  20. You might try shopping in Germany.They used to be alot cheaper than the UK.
  21. Sorry its alot different.The 78&79 models came with backwards reverse and refective mirrors as standard.
  22. This stuff. Bought some Sthil "Camel Back"style hydration packs last year. I have an ex army Camel Back.Works well but can't stand it when climbing.
  23. Ten years ago my first job in London paid £40 per day cash. That was practically doing nothing for it. But I didn't care as there was Beer to be drunk and Raves to attend.
