A good friend has been going through the motions of stress due to marrige breakdown, money worries and now an evil divorce. He resorted to this chap Ajahn Brahm ( A Buddhist Monk) you can see him on youtube, if I new how to put up a link i would but if you put in a search you will find it. There is also a book of his called "Who ordered this truckload of dung". I had an incident a few months back at work which ultimately could of killed me and several fellow workers, struggled to sleep for weeks couldn't get back into the work and generally felt like jacking the trade altogether, but on reading this book and letting absorb in outlook on life is as fresh as when I first started out. hope this helps some who have posted on here, even i was quite skeptical about it but its not a load of brainwashed mumbo jumbo just some short stories that make your worrying and stressing in life seem absolutly pointless.

WOMEN! FORESTRY! BEHAVE YOURSELF! BE LETTING EM DRIVE CARS AND DRINK INT CLUB NEXT ECK!

Get Carter the original not the stallone rubbish:thumbup:

rising damp, miss jones springs to mind

move away further inland, if you live that close they will try to turn you:lol:

bumping the thread here, but jp you cant put location lancs/yorks on your details, its one or the other:thumbup1:

Been on the same one myself at Kendal in the lakes, probably one of the better courses ive been on for LOLER, did you get to use the test bed downstairs and the drop test in the mill tower, we did this the second time I went certainly opened your eyes to whats what in strength and safe to carrry on using. How long were you at fountains, i served with them from 98 to 07, worked lakes, leeds, bedale, bletchingly, scotland, blackburn.

dont buy work in mate, it makes it hard for all of us if people keep quoting silly prices, if trees are that bad then you will need to pay a bit more than 100 a day especially on weekends:thumbup1:

Regardless of wether you have UA tickets etc, if your not contracted by an approved supplier for this sort of work or directly contracted by the NO then you should follow the afag giude lines, which if you read states no works with in 2tree lengths of any power line regardless of what voltage. Somebody also pointed out that LV IS worse than HV lines, HV has means of tripping out if struck by an object or person causing a phase to phase, but it can also trip back in several times if there is an auto recloser in play on the line. still make a mess of you if it gets hold. LV is another beast, easiest explained like this, when you trip out lv you blow the fuses in general, now if this has happened in the past due to weather or a strike and the rec has been to sort it, they may just bang a bigger rated fuse in to get it going again, you then as the unlucky one who may contact it later will suddenly find it doesnt trip as it should and bingo your gone. Been there and bought the tshirt, beleive me not a good place.

Are you only looking for direct staff or sub contract as well.

Happy New Year to one and all, lets hope 2011 is an improvement on 2010, keep safe folks:thumbup1:

van drops in power and will only let you operate at low revs and speed, its basicly a safety feature to stop any damage to the engine if anything goes wrong ie engine management. My ecu crashed on me and it went into this mode until the rac rebooted it roadside

Nice motors mate, was after one myself but couldn't get one for love ner money at the time, ended up with a hilux crew cab base model, if your after a rodeo go for the newer 2.5 better fuel and performance

Unfortunately no it doesn't, there's two of them and the one thats the pain is the egr exhaust thingy , has your van gone into safe mode recently, that was the beginning of the end for me

Do You have a number for susie nick, would get it from work but its long way from essex to yorkshire:001_tt2:

Good luck with this one mate, I had a warrior 04, same issues as your getting, replaced thermostat, waterpump, bled it and bled it some more, turned out to be the EGR valve this is on the side of the engine head, changed it and bingo no more problems, apparently they break up and let air back into the heating system hence air lock in your expansion tank. Milners 4x4 are a good source of help and the L200 owners club. sold mine a while ago and got a hilux hl2 2.5 instead, good truck but noisey injectors now, supposedly this is common and just down to cold weather on start up 4x4 woes never end

Any body point me in the right direction for finding a supplier for fire wood, looking for a wagon load delivered pref-ably but could arrange own transport, prices for said amount appreciated

Don't feel alone mate this style and competence is where ever you go, scary thought that he is working for himself and hiring himself out as competent, time and patience with them is what they need some like to run before they can walk.

We all make mistakes, hopefully he walks away now and realises how close he was to a nasty knock, we all have a laugh and joke and take the p**s when sombody cocks up myself probably been one of the worst offenders at times, but when there new blood to the industry they should be shown the negative side of what can happen when it goes wrong. I use the account of my fathers accident in any training I carry out, I never read it out, I leave the class room for a smoke and let them read it themselves, to much for me to try tell that to a class of strangers even now after all this time. By all means if any body wants to take a copy off here and keep it in the van or where ever for there staff to read etc then take it, it may just stop sombody from that cut to far. How did you know my old man Logger?

No Problem Dave, I put it down on paper several years ago when carrying out inhouse training for a large utility arb company, a lot of the guys were brand new to the industry, it certainly pricks a few ears up to how dangerous this line of work is and how if your just slightly of your guard the **** can hit the fan big time.
