  1. Depends how much dog shit has been shovelled that day. 🤮
  2. Or cooking bacon on a shovel covered in tin foil.
  3. They often run skip chain on the larger bars. Less drag and cutting softwoods, it works. Also a point to note, in the PNW the ground is usually steep and often they can’t get round to double cutting on a treacherous slope. Hence the large bar length so all cuts can usually be done on the same side.
  4. No.
  5. haha. In your dreams🤪
  6. You slag.
  7. 4 years out of a saw. I bought my second 150t when I moved to Norway. That was 7 years ago now. The one before that was bought brand new/second had from a guy on here for 230 quid. I had that quite a few years before I moved to Norway. Both saws are still going strong. I would argue the first one I bought for the cheap price is a good value for money saw.
  8. I thought I was a decent climber. I have obviously been using the wrong parameters for measurement. 🤪
  9. A bit like Trigger’s Broom?
  10. I have tried one. They cut great no doubt. I just can’t get over the Fisher Price element. They just feel a bit flimsy.
  11. FTR I have one of the first 150’s and it still runs. How many can say that about the Echo? I have a second 150 and no drama with that saw either. Just drill the hole in the exhaust and little retune and it is a ripper. Yes, I know Joe and Mark will come and comment the Echo is fruitier out of the box. IMO, drilling one hole in the exhaust and then having a great saw is better that having a great saw and having to change the Ignition module, exhaust and air filter covers and the idle problems many have had over the years. As for the electric Makita, it is like carrying a brick about, has next to no power and quite frankly does make you into a Homosensual if you even touch one. 🤪
  12. Sad world we live in. I know a guy who tried to defend against thieves. He knew where they were entering his land through a gap in the hedgerow. He left a scaffold board with some very large nails in it in the ditch they had to cross. Halfway across the field all tires were flat. So for the audacity of defending his own property the thieves took it out on his kit. Smashed a pick through every panel and window on his work trucks, as well as all the spare tractor and mog sizes tires. Basically tried to ruin his business just because he tried to defend his property against scum. Careful how you proceed.
  13. My tenants, significant other took Kira for a walk yesterday. She has a decent camera in her phone but also the knack for snapping a great picture.
  14. Really? He barely threw a punch the second half of the fight. Joseph boxed clever. Worked him out and knew he would fade as the fight went on. Perfect game plan from Andy Lee. Well done Joseph Parker.
  15. The glitch in the Matrix is finally resolved. When Francis had regained consciousness, the medic asked him his name. He replied ‘Thursday’. Cracking shots from AJ. FTR I love Francis Ngannou and his story. But a professional boxer should always win at boxing against a Novice. Likewise, FN would rip them to shreds if MMA rules were the order of the day.
  16. I’m intrigued. Ill be watching.
  17. What dog breed do you have? I take it you are thinking of taking your dog (s) with you?
  18. “If a Scooby revs its engine down the back roads, are your girlfriends panties still wet? “

  20. When you’re young and ambitious it is easy to make a decision like that. YOLO. Do it before birds, kids and mortgages IMO.
  21. Good decision. Have fun, learn loads and come back a better, all round tree worker. UK trees will seem like midgets compared to some of the trees you will see in Oz. Good luck.
  22. Do you work with Navin? Have we met? I used to do a fair bit of work with Navin. Climbed for him on Assessment days for his Arb Approved contractor status. Good guy.
