  1. Terrible tradgey Quite how this happened considering all handguns were banned in 1997 is quite beyond me? Could it be that criminals don't follow laws and banning things are ineffective? Surely not.
  2. I tillegg til denne Norsk mulighet til førstå "Svedonian" kan Nordem også snakke med Dansk og Islanding som er eigentlig Nordmen som har spist for mange flysopp for et tusen år tilbake og funnet en øy når alle vår tung beruset og hadde ingen selvtilliten for å reise hjem igen.
  3. Eg anbefaler at du lærer seg Norsk først ,fordi Svensk blir mer enkelte i mange tilfeller der etter. Norsk er baserte på både Tysk og Engelsk og svensk blir en sidegrein på mange møte. Defor når man har rimelig godt kompetanse på Norsk can du lese og Snakke med denne "grønnsakene" som bør ved Østen.
  4. When I am mlling using the 084 I just attach a fan heater to the Mill using cable ties.It is enough to blow the rules away. Out in the field I have the groundy do similar with the blower if there is no wind on site.
  5. Quite alot of towing problems arise from folks using too little of a wagon to tow with. Just because it's rated to 3.5 ton,it's not always a good idea to use that figure as your maximum.
  6. "Biggest Tree John" Must smell loverly on a hot day chipping that sappy wood John
  7. It's going to be hard to attract people from other parts of the country/ world if they don't know before they leave how much they expect to earn before they trial. Would you start a tree job with the client paying you what they felt the job was worth to them?
  8. How much are you offering Jon?
  9. If you paid someone who could run your sites and step in anywhere if needed £200 per day on the books.Do you think you could make up the difference between what you want to pay and £200 by chasing other opportunities? I used to have to offer a £45k package to get help here in Norway.That was for someone with a couple of years experience. Good contract climbers are on about £600 per day Gross in Oslo.
  10. I had the best response when I included the wage in the advertising. It looks to me as if you want someone who possesses all the attributes capable of running their own firm/ sub contracting. The wage is going to have to reflect this.
  11. Was it a Series 2 running on LPG though? Because they have loads of power in reserve,so it was more likely 160 mph to be honest.
  12. The Farmer has taken your property and via his mate holding you to ransome You have no contract between the Farmer or his mate.Farmer Palmer might have had the right to clear the obstruction from his land,but not to take your property. Personally I would ask to be paid £800 for taking my Tree.In the least be talking with a Solicitor.
  13. If you woke up one morning and found the Farmers Bull sleeping on your drive way. Could you shoot it and drag it behind your car to the Butcher and give the farmer a choice between a Bill or keeping the Steak yourself? Farmer Palmer and matey Chainsaw have scored a nice Oak But and some firewood.Do you guys thing for a minute that all this didn't get loaded into a grain trailer and trundle off to another part of the farm?
  14. Bloody Hell. We reduced an Oak in the Spring that had been struck by lightning years before.It was beside and over hanging a house.When the phone came back online after the lightning strike it was the Police calling to say the clients Son had been killed in a car accident up country.
  15. Call every single tree company in a radius of your home,volunteer a Saturday for free.Explain you want to get a taste of the industry. You will meet the good and the bad with the above strategy but will learn infinitely more about the industry volunteering each Saturday for a couple of months than you would learn from years of courses. Attitude is what sets folk apart in this game,it's not tickets nor is it necessarily ability.If the raw material and attitude is there,most bosses will invest in the individual. You can go a long way in this trade,it can take you all over the world and at the end of the day it's all up to you. All the best.
  16. Have you checked that the counter sink on the blade is concentric with the bolt hole?
  17. We can still have semi auto centerfires here in Norway,people compete in 3 gun matches too.I hunt with a Molot Vepr. I might join the sports shooting club because I quite like the idea of "practicle" shooting with a .22 as I can't be arsed reloading hundreds of rounds for a AR15 etc.
  18. Pre the last ban on semi auto's in New Zealand. Crying shame because the L1 was unfired when I bought it.New Zealand sold it's L1's to the population in 1983 and dad bought a couple and gave the best one to me when I grew up. The FN FAL was nice but I sold it off since I didn't need two of pretty much the same thing.Both had wooden stocks.
  19. I'm not really sure what you do and where you are have anything to do with SA80 but I bet that's not what you drew from from the arms locker.
  20. It's hard to defend the virtues of a Rifle which no other country adopted,especially when you compared it to shagged out Rifles from the 1960's. A SA80 is pretty much a abortion of a Rifle,based upon a Rifle which was designed to be as cheaply produced as possible,the AR18. True that HK sorted out most of the glaring issues with it,but the fact remains that the A1 variant was so bad that it took half a billion quid to get it working reliably and respec the existing Rifles to A2. Edited to add: 2-3 Mao from a shagged SLR is pretty impressive. I was lucky to get 2 Moa from my Lithgow L1 and about the same from my Belgian FAL.
  21. If the cobra is really tight,you can cut through it with a throwline.
