    If you want to stop seed germination on hard standing or gravel a good residual is Chikara, been using it for two years now and its brilliant. I used to spray Glyphos every 14 days to keep up with regen but now I put chikara in the mix and spray twice a year, its awesome

    Got a tree to take down in a very very tight spot with a 3ft x 5ft space to knock discs off into and loads of fragile things around. Neigbouring trees are too far away to rig off so thought about doing this so when I'm discing down I can attach the lowering rope and lift the disc off the stem and lower without having to snatch it. Blue line lowering rope, red line to be tensioned and use with a floating pulley above the stem Anyone used it before

    I'm seriously worried for Joshes welfare now, he's dated quite a few blonde swedes whilst over there

    You must watch this right through, it is totally bizarre. I couldn't tear myself away once I started watching it BBC iPlayer - Madness in the Fast Lane

    Only if they are in agreement Mark

    Putting things back together in the right place is easy. You buy two of everything, two MS200T's ect etc Then you you strip one down you have one complete one to refrence what goes where

    Good point there Dave and incentive to do the right thing

    Anything with a scouse accent is a scam

    Nothing wrong with posting mobile numbers on advertising, if you dont want to do it dont advertise You just have to have enough common sense to realise what is scam and what isn't. I had a call from Virgin yesterday, the first thing he said was "for security purposes what is your password?" I mean come on!!

    One rule with Landrovers or range rovers. Only buy one if it earns money. Why anyone would buy one for pleasure I dont know

    I'd have given him £20

    Personally I win jobs by talking it through with the customer. Them getting a measure of your character / persona / body language / confidence whatever you want to call it, will win you more jobs than listing things on a piece of paper that they dont understand.

    True !

    I'll do that Cheers Rupe..big help mate

    The trouble is there, once you have done your generic MS and sent it to the client, they then want you to do it for every job, surely once they have a record of how good and safe you are they dont need to make you jump through hoops anymore

    He could hand a piece of paper to me that he has filled in with a load of generic codswallop and still do a rubbish repair
  18. Dean Lofthouse
    Ditto that

    They all get carried away sometimes in the excitement.... like the one on tv that battered a door down during a raid and failed. They then tried the handle and the door was open Bit like these divs, the door was probably open

    So why do they need to I get a television engineer in to mend my tele, I dont want to know how or what he is doing step by step, I just trust his professionalism and skills. A method statement is not a clear sign of professionalism, even a dummy can fill one in, doing the job safely and proficiently is a clear sign of professionalism

    Dean Lofthouse replied to DrewB's topic in Climbers talk

    That's got to be professionally shot right ?? Absolutely stunning footage mate, looks like it's straight off National Geographic HD channel

    I agree mostly Dont you think filling in a mundane form will create complacency Paul. They shouldn't be used to insult peoples intelligence by listing the OBVIOUS, they should be used to get the people filling them in to think outside the box. Detailed Risk ass, I think do just that. If you can fill in a MS at home without visiting the site then whats the point of it. The SSRA should cover everything, the methology is down to why we are called proffesionals and go through training.

    Hard day Dave ??
  24. Dean Lofthouse
    Never lets the side down our Mark does he ???

    Sorry, missed this one. I used the Snitcher bike alarm connected to a wagon battery that lasts twelve month between charges and used micros switches as the trigger. The alarm was less than £90 and I know whereever I am I will know the moment someone touches my containers
