    Good luck mate!hope you get sorted.:wave:
  4. I have a pile like that:scared:
  5. That the best advise you'll ever get when it comes to mogs,I've just got back from his yard.:wave:
  6. Nice post! I'm 38 been climbing 14 years and hope to just keep on going
  7. It reads like a translation. So glad i am not on there,the muppets rang me a few weeks back,think i said "thankyou for your call but on this occasion i think i'll leave it,but please do call me again"or some thing like that.
  8. My arse often twitchers,its good for the sphinter. I do not want to die,if i thought a tree was going to fail i would not climb it! But i do think trees are a lot stronger than people think,we must all do what we feel is safe.
  9. Does any one know of anyone who has had a tree fail under them?
  10. If HAD to use a MEWP i would, but in 14 years+ i've never had to and i have never turned a tree down. If it happens i'll be sure to report back:icon14:
  11. Worked for me Steve,cheers,looks like a bit of sun tomorrow,at last.
  12. Cheers! I respect your opinions too, and we must all do things the way we feel is best for us,lets all stay safe and enjoy our work because, we give work "the best hours of our day,the best days of the week and the best years of our lives" and if we don't enjoy it we need to change it.:wave:
  13. This is the thing,I DON'T WANT TO!!!!!!,I love climbing trees,i make a good living,look you get one,use one,I REALLY DO NOT MIND!!!!!!.
  14. I'm only quoting the report we were asked to read:heeeelllllooooo:
  15. Yep!I'll be happy for both my boys want to join the fun,if they want to,and the two girls if they like:icon14:
  16. You don't stop doing things because you get old,you get old because you stop doing things.
  17. Well what have i learnt from reading that, Firstly who ever under took the study knew little or nothing about tree work. If you don't like physical exertion get a MEWP or ladders.I suppose they would suggest you go to the gym in the evening to keep fit? If they are really up to 74% more efficient why have they not taken over the whole industry? Oh and that if you want more money stop climbing trees and become a MEWP operator there on £280 per day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  18. With respect,did your decision to use yours not result in some one being quite seriously injured,and really your both lucky to have survived. They have there place and people are free to use them if they wish,but people must be aware that MEWPs, just as many things in life, come with some risk.
