  1. Told by who????????? The chipper ticket is not even on the HSE table of best practice, training should be given, but no certificate is required.
  2. The main thing to remember about wood fuel is that its releasing carbon from a few 100 years ago at most, fossil fuel is releasing carbon from 1000,000's of years ago (when the planet may not have been habitable by man) so with timber its short cycle carbon release which is sustainable.
  3. Yes but you only work once a month, so thats like 4 weeks for any one else
  4. If the tree is being cut down any way its is actually carbon negative, because if you landfill the timber it will release just as much carbon as burning it, if you burn it for heat the carbon you would have released burning coal/gas will not be released, meaning a net reduction in carbon
  5. If you know your subject and speak the truth with confidence your customers will believe and trust you, IME.
  6. Just because thats what your wife does does mean its law.
  7. You have lead a very sheltered life my friend!!
  8. I know nothing about gun's, but his general attitude is great IMO. Would be interested to know what those who know about guns think of him (que Mike Hill)
  9. People keep saying groundies are "worth their weight in gold", well according to this site Buy 1 Kilogram fine gold bars from BullionByPost UK gold is over £30,000 per KG so your average groundie is worth £2400,000 I disagree, I'll stick to £65 a day thanks The problem is there are 1000's of people wanting into tree work, so their bargaining power is very limited.
  10. IME army surplus bags are the best, the nylon bags from arb suppliers have always been a massive disappointment.
  11. My brother in law is round at ours and he told to look at this guy on you tube (his language is a little strong) [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dSp7CipN1pw&playnext=1&list=PLBFCB8E57581C0FA4]YouTube - ‪The 40mm Machine Gun!!!‬‏[/ame] [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N8IGDIujijQ&feature=relmfu]YouTube - ‪SHOOTING WHILE PEPPER SPRAYED‬‏[/ame]
  12. Not stopped raining up here for the last three weeks
  13. Ah!!!!!!!!! that old chestnut please give me one documented example of this happening. I have asked for this so many times in other threads and no one has ever come up with one
  14. Thats because in the real world these pieces of paper mean very little.

    What a shame

    Indeed and almost splits itself!!!
  16. You really need to give those windows a clean mate!!!
  17. The 280 is a very good machine, its has far more splitting force than the others in its class.
  18. :confused1:But most of the player are foreign any way. Its all about money and which team has the most, thats why I really could not give a toss who wins
  19. The 460 is a cracking saw!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  20. But don't you have to load it? often the cost of this is as much or more than the price you get???
  21. Unfortunately IME tickets are a very poor indicator of competence.
