I grew up on my Fathers sawmill, he was a main agent for McColloch chainsaws, they then changed to Alpina in Europe . 70s through to early 80s they wer supposedly a match for any Husqi or stihl. I am in the process of resurrecting my Fathers Last saw, an Alpina Forestter. If I can get some photos scanned I will put them up of his old rally car which was decked out in the McColloch Livery -
Ageed there khriss, if you can get on to a larger company you will probably get your tickets a bit quicker, is EDF your local electrical company there if so, get a look for any jobs either with Fountains, BTS or Brockwells as they are starting new contracts on line clearance for EDF. Not the best of work at times, but present economic climate probably the safest. Good luck

brilliant idea, we did a similar thing at the blue machine in leeds area and it worked a treat, give a good indication when somebody is ready to progress to another level e.g. small trees to medium

if you want to feel the speed of the combustion engine, then get into motorsport, at least 99% of the time everything is going the same way and you have some form of protection

Navigating friend on stage rally in cosworth, spider appears on dash board half way through a stage and you remember he is an acrophobic ( scared shitless by spiders) at about 100mph with sitka at either side of us i was the most calming i have ever been to some one " its all right just don't look at the c'~nt till we stop" then you can scream and run off:scared1:

ask yourself this have you always been perfect, remember how you started out. grant you if he pulls another stunt, then maybe its time for bye bye:thumbdown:

possibility you will need IRATA which is not a simple process, you have to complete so many hours at set levels before you can set your own systems. One company I work for on weekends clearing rock faces and bridges on the railways wont accept IRATA and use staff with cs 38,39,40, 41 etc, they believe it super seeds IRATA. hope this helps

ended up with dual package, hospital package as one and general sickness insurance if only sick but at home, the other only pays out if i was hospitalised, 52 pounds in total per month, but hospital one pays out £120 aday and the other will pay £900 a month if off ill at home.

you needs to cover your tracks a bit better mate; i organised the wifes thirtieth after getting nagged that i never organise any family parties, so sorted the restaruant, guests, cake and all the rest of the charabang. Arrived at the restaruant with the wife who had'nt a clue about any of it, sat there for 1/2 hour waiting for the guests to arrive when the I got a text from the sister in law asking where we were, it only dawned on me then I was in the wrong farmers arms, what a bloody job to perswade her the restaraunt we were in was shite and we should go some were else, still does'nt know to this day but it costs me beer tokens when ever I see any of her family.

OH YES! and then leave a good few scratches just incase some one sees later, you can then always blame it on the wakefield Puma:001_tongue:

Yep and I think they will only get worse, a couple of contractors I've been freelancing to are still waiting for them to pay up from the early part of the year, and now the contractors are having to jump on the same bandwagon asking if they can settle up when they get there checks through from the Blue Machine, as they say **** only rolls one way:sad:
