  1. A couple of pics from an Oak dismantle earlier this week. Had a 40t crane on site with a couple of grab lorries for timber. Aaronmj did the crown and I did the stem.
  2. Martyn, all you seem to do is go on and on about how tree work is detrimental to the body. Yes we know it is. You seem like a keen lad on the fitness front, training etc. You have either got to find a way of getting around it by working smarter or harder. Or why not give it up? As that is what your body seems to be saying. Unfortunately mate, you got to like it or lump it.
  3. About the same mpg as a Transit, so I was led to believe. But then it was one of the top end ones. Send Aaronmj a PM. He has one and will be able to give you first hand info.
  4. The width of the position works different areas of the chest. Personally I nearly always do a close pressup, shoulder width and on my knuckles. The knuckles thing is force of habit from damaging my wrists a few times Snowboarding and boxing/Muay Thai. It always seems easier on the knuckle. Plus it is hard to do them on your palms in boxing gloves or wraps.
  5. Are you paying the going rate for wind turbine erection? A friend of mine works in that industry and from what I gather the day rates are considerably higher than tree work. Good luck in finding your man (or woman).
  6. Usually it is a sensitive yet aggressive rj. Seems the level has been upped to an agressive yet aggressive rj.
  7. Definitely get it checked mate. Believe it or not press ups do work the core muscles in the abdomin. Try the plank and hold it for as long as you can, then the muscles in the gutt will be burning.
  8. Hate to think what I'd get now. Especially after all the Easter eggs.
  9. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CxdX0au-BNA&feature=share]UNIMOG - YouTube[/ame]
  10. I have just renewed my d40 navara. Trust insurance, 37 year old, 8 years no claims no penalties or convictions. Best price I managed to find at a shade over 1200. That's south east London for you.
  11. google the 100 pushup challenge - lots of information and a training program to enable you to do 100 pushups from the off.
  12. Mark Bolam is just up the road from there.
  13. You'll enjoy it. Might even pick up a tip or two.
  14. Have you seen Caddyshack, Dean?
  15. I know, I was surprised as I usually find K1 a bit lame. That one was a slugfest though. Kong looked great didn't he? Didn't give Marshman a chance. The spanish archers at the end really finished him off! Muay Thai courtesy of Alan Keddle.
  16. Not usually that much a fan of K1. A good fight is a good fight though. One of the nest K1 scraps I have seen. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DNXGooSNEU4]bonkers K1 fight ~ Zambidis vs. Chahid one of the best fights ever! - YouTube[/ame]
  17. Nice work tom and crew.
  18. UV light may have been the cause of it.
  19. I use the throw bag on splice most of the time. Never had any problem yet.
  20. RIP Darryl. Terrible news.
  21. Nice, looks lovely. You enjoying the trip?
  22. I forgot the smiley.
  23. Last time I spoke to Stevo he mentioned you had bumped up his wages to 57p/day, plus a packet of Amber Leaf. Tell him from me, he's doing well.
  24. You disappoint me Tone. You have sold out and gone to the dark side. Next thing, you'll be raving about them there single line, Unicycle jobbies. :001_tt2:
