    Beautiful clear evening last night in Oslo. I saw a few shooting stars, some weird flashes that repeated around the same area and a slow moving light. Presumably a satellite.

    Nobody can help you, until you help yourself. Why are you still working with him? There are usually three sides to every story, your side, his side and what actually happened. We may ever know the truth but do yourself a favour and be a master of your own destiny. Good luck.

    Mainly because they are midline attachable. Plus my rigging line has a knot in the end which I would have untie to every time.

    I burn lots of Pine and Spruce here in Norway. I do tend to squirrel away some nice hits in jobs when we do any fruit trees, large Elm, Ash or Oak. Got a nice collection seasoning for this coming winter... mix it in with spruce or Pine and everything is toasty.

    Slightly different rules to I think you are used to. He isn’t a Bona Fide Sub Contractor so doesn’t need that insurance. He was working in a freelance Labour capacity. Seriously, if people stopped using the term Sub, Subby etc half of these problems would be resolved.

    I lived and worked in Lewisham/Greenwich area for years. No one in that area could get a truck for a day for a 100’er if theirs had issues or required additional capacity on a job. I would base your charges on a 100 plus fuel per day. Plus vat if you are in that bracket.

    As you were onsite it sounds like your job. The climber as you described was working in a Labour only capacity or freelance. Therefore, the responsibility is yours, unfortunately. If you remove the term ‘subby climber’ from your first post then it is a lot clearer. As for subbyclimbers, use the term freelance climber or contract climber makes the waters a lot clearer. Too many people use the term subby when they in fact are a long way from operating in Bona Fide Subcontractor capacity.

    Just be prepared for every branch that is cut, three will grow back.

    Try doing a search on tree firms in the desired area and country. Then send them some emails, explaining your situation and CV. I very much doubt someone will see your posts and come offering a 5 star job with naked ladies to oil you down at the end of the day. Whereas, showing a bit of impotus and going out there looking, shows you have a desire. I would much rather hire someone who has shown initiative and contacted me. Good luck with your searches.

    To be fair, I only clicked it because I thought it was a new type of skateboard trick.

    And as usual, a quality piece of treework goes relatively unnoticed by the members on here. Members would much rather talk about politics, masks and other such bollocks. SMH.

    Please mate... for the love of Bees. Boycott that Almond Milk shit. The Almond pollenation process in California is almost single handedly wiping out commercial bees colonies. BTW face masks don’t work according to the latest NHS stuff.

    We once tried to shoot a shovel out of a tree with a pump action shotgun. The video is in here somewhere. In the end the shovel handle fell off and as far as I know the shovel head is still up the tree.

    There does seem to be a common denominator in all the episodes you describe, regardless of equipment, brand and dealer.

    Not had time to check the link yet but do they ship internationally?

    Don’t take the mickey. Those arseless leather chaps are not to be sniffed at!

    I agree for the most part. An Apple IOS front end is sexy and looks simple. Open a terminal and get someone clued up on UNIX and they can do a lot more than you would expect.

    Oh and buy the most expensive you can afford which suits your needs. It will be an investment in the long run. I would have probably gone through 3 or 4 pc laptops in the time that I have had this Mac.
  23. Rich Rule
    Regarding the dual monitors. The latest IOS has mirroring built in so just plug a hd tv into the hdmi port and either choose to mirror the screen or is as an additional screen. I doubt you will need to have any space worries when connected to a 40” plus hdtv.

    OpenOffice.org Download the free, open source version of office for Mac. Pretty much the same. Macs are pretty intuitive tbh and once you get used the them going back to a PC is such a fanny on. How do I open a file? Simple drag the file icon on to the icon of the program you want to open it with. How do I delete something? Drag what you want to delete and put it in the bin icon. Yes Mac are a lot more expensive but I bought my last one in 2014 And it is still going strong. I have used macs for about 15 years now... can even stand looking at a PC anymore.
