  1. I am also lucky in that so far I'm keeping quite busy, touch wood. You need to be speaking to some of the guys who have already begun too feel the squeeze.
  2. Thing is I believe Steve is run off his feet!!, so if they interview him he could just say "works great thanks". You need someone who is finding things tough, to give their own experience of the down turn, IMO. Hope thats got you off the hook Steve!
  3. Nice work Steve!! Good tip regarding the buttresses, is that something you just leaned through experience? or were you told it by an old timer?
  4. Sawpod fleece arrived yesterday, wore it today, lovely and warm. Thanks very much too all concerned,. Perfect fit, thanks for the sizing advice Steve.
  5. I could be wrong, but as this thread was started in October, I'm not sure Pete still needs any one.
  6. I wish to be number ONE! So you two must fight over two and three!!
  7. He had been retired, from the HSE, and started his own consultancy.
  8. I saw that, what a Pratt that guy was!! He was in a factory, and he picked up some steel swarf up off the floor and was saying how dangerous it was. Then he realised what he had done, he said "I should really have been wareing gloves, BUT its OK because I was doing it for a specific reason and I was very carefull" WTF.
  9. You got a 660 with the new caps?????????
  10. Very, very sad, I really feel for his children.
  11. Thats Shocking!!!!!!!!!!! How dare you climb an "unclimbable" tree .
  12. If the weather is naff, come on here for a laugh!! Arbtalk.co.uk. (I seem too feel the need to make them ryme ?? not sure why, sorry)
  13. If thats how you feel, start some new threads, what you get out is directly related to what you put in, IMHO.
  14. If I'm not up a tree, here's where I'll be, ARBTALK.co.uk. If your an arb pro, here's where to go, ARBTALK.co.uk
  15. Thats the one mate!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  16. Totally agree!! The potential for serious injury there was huge!! Their probable the sort of muppet's that say "oh that trees a but dodgy best get a MEWP in". Some people don't know REAL danger when its staring them in the face.
  17. Yes, I was thinking you'd wear it
  18. If you think I'M GOOD!!, you should see some of the guy's on ARBTALK!!!!!!!!!
  19. We made one when I was a boy. We tied a rope to near the top of a sycamore, pulled it with a tractor, then drove a 6' bar into the field to secure it. We then took the handle of an old petrol lawn mower and an 18" bicycle wheel. We removed the tyre and tub from the wheel, put the "forked" part of the lawn mower handle over the rope, fitted the wheel too the handle. The rim of the wheel ran on the rope, it went like stink and we had much fun!!!!!
  20. What if a genuine seller just happens to have the same or similar combination of equipment as some someone who is robbed. And its posted on here that someone thinks it maybe the stolen gear. The least that may happen is some buyer are put off resulting the seller receiving less bids. Is that fair?
  21. Maybe try the Sky boys, they run phone lines to the set top box, they usually run internally, but I don't see why they couldn't do it external. Try to get one too do it as a cash foreigner.
