    Its a shame there is no Paypal as many of us have a few quid left hanging about from their ebay sales.

    It wasn't at work but I was threatened with a roughing up by a Hari-Krishna, He offered me a booklet , I called him a nut , he threatened me with violence. so much for peace and love

    I got into single malt when I lived in Argyll. But reverted to bitter when I came home. I have had the occasional festive bottle of Talisker. This summer I won a bottle of Glenmorangie in a raffle. Was saving it for Christmas but needed it for medicinal purpose last month .

    Make sure you have the proper shear pins fitted not just a bit of 6"nail or even welded up. If it has then its been overloaded and could fail on you.

    If both the strands are fully severed then bin it or cut the end off the rope. If just plucked a bit then it should be fine. Ease it back into place. If the same strand is damaged in 2 places then its probably no good, though it looks like they are different strands.

    I was a Forestry type YTS, ND.etc and as I was self employed I started doing garden jobs and went climbing because ladders got too short after a while.

    I used to run 24" and 30" bars on an 084 quite sucessfully in the woods. One large saw for felling and another lighter saw for siding up. I only have a 48" on my 880 but when the need arises I would not hesitate to change to a shorter bar. ( its cheaper to have another bar than another saw.)

    On the subject of the ISA, anyone here booked the course on veteran tree decay management at Windsor? Be nice to put faces to the names.

    Gonna take your worrd for it, and consign the method to the bowels of my memory bank. I can then recall it when needed and continue to look like the hero

    except the fleshy aril ( red part of the berry) sweet, sticky and tasty. Just remember not to swallow the seeds. (I note that treequip makes the same observation and we are both alive still.)

    As a new boy 20 years ago the forestry department where asked not to put any more of that "Pink Wood" in the logs as one piece had exploded embers out onto a customers new hearth rug and burnt holes in it.

    Surely by the time you have that set up you could lower several short pieces independently. The result is the same.

    you need to know the top 20 on the hit list . their looks , alive and dead, their strategy for attack and type of decay caused.

    Its worse.... if you aim to be AA approved you need your mewp tickets , wether you use a mewp or not. why? you ask. I'll tell you. Work at height risk assessments require that you consider the use or not of a mewp. If you have no tickets then you cannot be expected to consider the use of a mewp because you rule out its use by having no training. Thus you are not fully following HSE guidelines relating to work at height. Which means you do not meet AA approved contractor status.
