GAME ON

too easy,i prefer the blood sweat and tears option

many many many thanks for the posts lads. she doing real good and we all glad to be home. onward and upward.

Well ive just got home to 1279 posts and this is why. Xmas at 7ish getting my daughter chloe ready for bed and all of a sudden she fell down our basement stairs which is about 8ft onto a concrete floor,ambulance turned up within 6mins and she was on her way to margate a&e for a ct scan only to find she had fractured her skull and had a small bleed to her brain,my whole world was going very pear shaped in a matter of 1hr and i thought the worst,she was rushed to kings college camberwell with my wife whilst i followed shortly(only to be pulled twice by the old bill,once in dover and once in camberwell,luckily they both understood my situation and waved me on) on arrival to the childrens critical unit she was made stable with lots of morphine and had to be totally paralysed for the journey to london,xmas day she came off the ventilator and was breathing for herself,the bleed had stopped and we were told the fracture was small enough not to cause any probs. she was moved to intensive care on boxing day and has just spent the last 2 days trying to get back to her old self. she is gonna be fine and is doing really well,shes cracking the smiles and talking away. so i have a message to all fellow parents things can happen so so so very fast so never take your eye off the ball. so it truly was a xmas from hell

nice disposition to be in mr collins,i cant wait to get to your age

NEW DAD ALERT. just wondering what santa likes to drink these days after he has dropped off the presents ?????? was thinkin whisky but maybe a shandy ??????

i find long tails just get in the way and look untidy

not too sure i like where that guys standing,might be the angel of the dangle mind

tried the knut on my lanyard t other day but didnt get on well with it

im hearing ya brother,been their done that,mine still purring after 8mths.mmmmmmmmm

that is a beautiful saw my friend,you gonna love it longtime

no way hose i didnt fancy my chances.the local council told they cant be touched but the bee man said if they interfered with work i.e stopped me taking down a dangerous tree then they can be dealt with.

i know a man and he charged £45 which i thought was very reasonable plus i was'nt paying and surprisingly it was very active

that was the word i was lookin for cheers john

attempting a large poplar takedown again after coming down the 1st time when discovering a large cavity about 20ft up and with some heavy shock loaiding on its way i decided to climb the poplar next in line only to find a bee's nest halfway up anyway bee's been fumigated on sat so its second attempt tommorow at taking this awkward beast down,may have some pics but she's not pretty on the eye

downside of being freelance climber no fixed work do but potentially many many work do's

its a tough learning process m8 but you WILL get it,time,patience,confidence and big kahunas,enjoy the buzz my friend

thats a good effort and must of been a nice climb

very very nice work barney.how long did that take

definately m8.think im getting close to the 1st 25 gone already.will all have to pm yours ads,will get the definate go ahead on order tommorow and some time frames

tried to take down a poplar today and failed miserably would love to have had a mewp onsite.major cavities up the 1st 20ft

nice work john,just hope the MACHINES dont end up replacing us climbers

great fell.might be my eyes looks like it had a wee back lean in the pic of the whole tree.nice work
