can’t see one in the picture but many moons ago I worked a summer season in Connecticut. One day I was up a ladder propped up against a cabin I was painting. I started to come down the ladder to mover it over and there was a copperhead rearing up the rungs. Its head was level with the second rung. I almost crapped myself and started shouting for help but no one came. Luckily it didn’t climb any higher, got bored and crawled back under the cabin after a few minutes. Wasn’t my finest moment.

Ifor Williams tipping trailer with hiab

Yeah mate. Still over in Norway. glad to here the boys are still doing well. Haakon (oldest) is just back at training. He damaged his knee in September last year and required surgery on his knee. lots of rehab and he has been doing my head in to be honest as he didn’t know what to do with himself LOL. But that’s behind him now and training is back on. No fights though for a few month. He needs to get himself fully healed, then back at the Muay Thai and BJJ comps. Take care mate, keep busy. 👍🏾 -

Ce marked Poison ivy is a bit bouncy for srt. the US version not so bouncy. -
A friend came over at the weekend with their Siberian Husky. She is used for helping dogs be rehomed. Excellent well mannered mutt. Kira was in awe. They played, almost wrecked the house LOL.

Different strokes for different folks. I use one quite a bit, one of the guys I work with has them link for comms. Wouldn’t buy one though, as I don’t believe they are worth the money.
-
In answer to the original post. No, they are not worth it. Gives me chronic headache and the ear protection is terrible.

I use climbing boots when I climb. 😁 What boots are you on about?

I guess it is a good place if you are analy retentive and have a lack of humour but like getting blind drunk. I have been there many times. One of my best friends is married to a Finnish woman. In fact we are away in holiday with them at a cabin in the Norwegian mountains. And yes all the above apply apart from the alcoholic reason. She is quite judgemental when it comes to alcohol due to alcoholism in the family.

Why Finland? Never worked there but wondered why you would choose Finland over the other countries in the world.

Kira is getting bigger. We are up at a cabin in the mountains. She is proper tired after bounding around in the snow. 4 foot at least up here. She is light enough to not punch through but it is hard work for human. At least bollock deep powder.

One of my old man’s friends breeds Newfie’s. Great dogs. The litters look like a bunch of baby bears.

Most threads on here recently, start mild mannered. After a few comments it is like monkey’s sticking their fingers up their own bums and flicking poo at each other. Each proclaiming that their poo is the best and that they know best.

What do you actually do for a living? Apart from taking umbridge and arguing with strangers on an Arb Forum?

A job the other day to remove a tall spruce and a number of tall skinny alder and aspen. lovely day for it and a nice view of the fjord.

Sure, I get that. I would definitely put the area up. BUT, within 30seconds, I had worked out the company was based in South West London or thereabouts.

Or maybe they are looking for someone with initiative, who can think for themselves? Google the domain name and if they have a website, all will be revealed. it is like the opposite of when you see a great advert for a good company offering great money. It usually says text or email on … Guaranteed, with the first couple of posts someone will be reply saying, I’m interested, call me 07896 xxxxxx. That right there is a fail. You have already shown that you cannot read or follow instruction. Two things that can be fairly useful in most jobs.

JOB ALERT - Arborist | Weston-Super-Mare
Rich Rule replied to GlendaleManagedServices's topic in Employment
Feel free to apply then Barney. -
It is nice to not have to work flat out in winter, here in Norway. A couple of days a week keeps the cogs turning. Having days off here and there mean you can enjoy life a bit more. Snowboarding going for family walks and staying in cabins etc. It can be hard work in the body climbing in Snow and minus temps doing full weeks. Might as well try and enjoy the same thing that can cause misery.

How many surrealists does it take to change a light bulb? 3. 1 to hold the ladder, 1 to change the lightbulb and the last one to fly the leather Helicopter.
