    or There is no replacement for displacement.

    Think yourself lucky you’re not in Norway. I have the Hilux SR+. Similar to the invinsible but a bit less chrome. consider you have to remove the rear seats as commercial vehicles can’t be used for anything other than commercial , unless you want to pay even more. Stick a canopy back on and a bed liner and The vehicle was about 57k + GBP. stick the rear seats back in and you are looking at around 78k + GBP. Never looked at an amarok so I have no idea what they retail at.

    Not sure about that. I had the 3l invinsible on a 65 plate. Sold after a year as I moved to Norway. I bought the new shape here in Norway and it is great to drive. I would even say it surpasses the older model. My 3l felt almost tractor like when I upgraded it from my Navara Tekna.

    Great idea and concept. i downloaded the app and when I try to search my location i am sat on the sofa and the app says I am about 50 metres away in the wood behind my house.

    It’ll get easier. You just need more time in them. Next time try and cut the stubs flush as a course of habit, if you swing into one you will soon know about it!

    Maybe I am gifted then? I seem to have the ability to be able to understand what people mean.

    Got any nice parks near you? I was living in South East London when I was training. I had the books and was doing my best as I wandered through Greenwich park twice a day. One day I was having trouble id’ing a tree from distance and I thought how convenient would it have been to have the common and botanical names labelled on the tree. I went in for a closer look and notice a small grey square with the exact information I was looking for. it wasn’t so much of a revelation as I wandered the rest of my route home. Almost every tree had the tags on it. Pity I hadn’t notice it 2 months earlier.

    I thought the only thing proven was that it was an untruth, therefore a lie. i must admit though I lost touch with UK politics a while back...

    The system was around a while before the Lycra crew got involved. In The Spotlight: Boa Brand Profile | GearJunkie GEARJUNKIE.COM Click. Twist. Tighten. The simple concept of a better way to lace athletic gear launched the brand... I used them in snowboard boots years ago. It is a great system until something goes ‘Ping’.

    I don’t recall him being much more than a clown on a bike whilst spouting Lies on the side of a bus. If that is the definition of a good Lord Mayor of London, I bet Dick Whittington’s cat is turning in his grave. Also, if I remember correctly the Boris Bikes were introduced by Ken.

    I think if said Vegan is that concerned for the natural environment, they had best stop chopping down trees.

    It was a fair few years ago and the memory isn't all that these daze! If I remember correctly it was 10K per day shutdown for Network rail and then we had to wait for their say so. It was done over a bank holiday weekend. 5 or 6 guys on site, minimum double time, triple for the monday. MEWP, 50M tower crane for 2 days then the 60M for the last day. Grab lorries coming and going most of the day, plus special mats had to be fabricated for the cranes. The Mats were 12K a piece x 4.

    No idea of the cost but this was another large job I was involved in on the ground. 3 days and 12 or so Lombardiis, and Oak and a cherry. Some other details in the thread. Network rail closure for 3 days. To add.

    What is the location? It may help if they know the area.

    Another great ending to another great day. It was my youngest sons 8th Birthday. Finished the day with cake and a few beers down at the local sand pit.

    Mick did the first bit for the documentary. me and Mick did the chopping for the disposal into landfill. I still get flashbacks when I smell whale meat cooking.

    Cheers TA. the missus father cold smokes fish. He has a little brick structure with chimney pots out the back going about 15 feet up a hill. Sets a fire in the bottom and sprinkles the saw chips and usually some sprigs of Juniper. At at the top of the chimney he has an oak barrel with usually Trout or Artic Char hanging. Cover the fire at the bottom leaving a small vent and then the top is covered. Next day you have smoked trout for breakfast.

    Was part of a crew that reduced a Very Large London Plane tree in London. 2 climbers and 2 or 3 groundsmen for 2 days. No idea of the cost but the company wasn't cheap and every bit had to be lowered. The tree covered 6 gardens. It was a long time ago... and probably the most expensive RJ I have been involved with.

    Try speaking to the European Arboricultural Council EAC. They might be able to help. different country I know, but in Norway most places want European Treeworker Certificate. Even though it isn’t really a patch on the UK qualifications. I guess you have to tow the line and follow the rules intheir country. Good Luck. Edit: just looked up the ECC and it isn’t ran by the EAC.

    No, not the midnight sun. It was in a beach in Ibiza called Calla Vadella. Just some strange light going on and my kids were playing in the see. Taken about 21.20 the other day.

    Just wondering, I am not an expert at smoking food but I have only ever seen chips and sawdust used to cold smoke fish and meats by my father in law. Helps to to enhance the flavour of course but would logs not actually cook the meat that was intended for smoking? Looking to be educated and not trying to be a smart Alec.
