..ha ha ha! new 'ARB-FIT' from pampers...the nappy you can use whilst wearing harness
-
I'll give those idea's a go, thanks fellas!...apart from the tool strop attachment, this is by a long chalk, the best pruning saw I have ever used
-
thanks fella's...might have to approach a few nurseries/farms perhaps?

A mate of mine is a Private Detective...he was paid by a Local Authority to find out where a certain company where fly tipping...they were doing garden and rubbish clearance. The solution was, put a tracker in a bag of rubbish, find out where and when they tipped, then video them doing it. Vehicle confiscated, job done. Tish Boom!

I potentially need a tipsite on on near to Canvey, Essex. It will be a large volume of clean, woodchip and a several tons of birch/alder, can anyone help out please?

can't seem to find anything on the search function. Does anybody have a fix for the appalling strop attachment ring on the MS150TC?....mine is sporting a few cracks after falling apart and I'm very concerned one of my groundies is going to end up wearing it

I got a Stihl MS261c last year...bloody awful saw. Its great when it actually gets going...but its a pig to start, whatever we do with it. I got so fed up with it, I gave it to my mate and went out and bought a Husky 550XP...even worse!. I'm going to try a premix fuel, and if thats no good, it'll be the end of Stihl/Husky general worksaws for me - after using them for 20 years! ...thinking of getting an Echo....as long as it doesn't have an electronic carb, I'll be happy!

ba ha ha ha!..poor old Billy!

Eskimo on holiday in wales. Car breaks down, welshman looks under bonnet, says "you've blown a seal", eskimo says " so what, you sh#g sheep !"

£270!!!! they've gone up a bit!...I've had a pair of these for 2 years, that I got at the arbshow. They are by far the best chainsaw trousers I've ever had and are still looking good with daily climbing use. You get what you pay for...and they ARE cooler. We are a bit of a captive audience when it comes to the price of this PPE

This works for me, I have a 25% surcharge for payment outside of 14 days on my T and C's. I've only actually implemented the 25% surcharge on customers I've had in the small claims court, although drawing attention to it with a 'reminder invoice seems to encourage payment quite well . If I work for Estate Agents (my worst paying customers), I put 25% on the quotation price and tell them I'll knock it off if they DO pay before 14 days. I'm waiting on a £6,200 invoice at the moment from a School, all the wages and plant hire have gone out on it and my overdraft is bursting at the seams...its a common problem ! I think a good balance between commercial and domestic customers helps alleviate this...its a case of 'keep something coming in'.

whilst waiting for the Liverpool ferry, a woman slips over and knocks herself out on a bollard. Her Husband, in a panic shouts to the queue..'is there a Doctor here?!'...a man steps forward, lifts the womans skirt and slaps her arse then examines the bollard 'nah, no damage done here Lar'. The Husband says 'what kind of Doctor ARE you?'...and the fella says, 'Oh sorry, thought you said 'Docker' mate!'

Geoff has done 2 of ours 8mm and 10mm...its a different beast

A girl sneezed in the pub and her glass eye flew out and landed in my hand. I took it back to her and we got chatting. After a few beers, I took her home and shagged her. Wondering if she was a bit of a slapper I asked her, Do you Shag everyone on a first date. She said no, Only those that catch my eye.

AVGAS - my Dad was RAF...I still love the smell of it

something a bit more 'western'!

bad, bad news mate...there have been a spate of thefts like this in Essex over the last month...these buggers know exactly what they are doing...I hope they meet someone with a shotgun one night on one of their 'ops'

great thread fella's...great looking wagon. We got issued 6 of these brand spanking new when I was in the Army. They were replacements for our very old 1 tonne Landies (the forward control ones), as our Mortar vehicles. Sadly, they were all taken off the road within months, as there was a fault with the front axles/diffs. Good Arb wagons...the only thing that put me off is the weight issue (over 8,25 tonne GTW and the O licence issues
