  1. No, pure nitrogen There has been a study done in which a scientist demonstrated breathing in pure nitrogen, no gagging nothing. A journalist then tried it whilst wired up to monitors and a crash team on hand. They told him they were going to take him to the brink of death then take away the mask and give oxygen, he could hold the mask He was extremely nervous about the whole thing and was very reluctant to hold the mask to his face. Eventually he did and commented he was not gagging for air, then he said it was quite nice actually, then they had to priy the mask off him because he didnt want to give it up, he was on a mega high and enjoying it despite being 5 seconds from death Pure nitrogen
  2. The RSPCA went to the trouble of operating on an urban injured fox and treating it, then released it in the countryside, I then shot it the next day
  3. Nitrogen is the best way of humanely killing Place the squirrel or rat in an airtight container and inject pure nitrogen, the animal will die in pleasure, it puts the animal on a "High" and it dies very very peacefully, infact its almost a pleasure for the animal
  4. 4 minutes from my yard and house, my numbers on my website if you give me a ring the day before I'll explain where it is
  5. It's ok, I know exactly where Hucks is if you need to tip up his end Ed
  6. Or mine HD6 ed's is on one side, mine on the other, you got all bases covered
  7. I'm going to place an ad in the Cornwall gazette for tree work, any chance of tipping at yours Tommer. Oh and can I borrow your chipper
  8. Things must be bad coming all the way from Blackpool to take a tree down, I'd have just passed it on ?? Huddersfield is a huge area, which side?
  9. Make you feel stupid as an adult doesn't it ?
  10. Well the wee detector I got works fine to about 3" and is good for an initial scan to see if there is any metalwork present in the trunk but I needed something better to go deeper to scan whole trunks. So I have got boys toys stevie fever and bought one of these Minelab X-Terra 505 What I have to do now is become a complete geek and go and find a gold coin stash to pay for it. £26 a month from Minelab Metal Detectors: E-TRAC, Xterra, Explorer SE, Safari, Sovereign Next week I will hit national headlines for finding the biggest ever hoard of gold bullion ever located anywhere in the world, I'm going to scan stevies back garden
  11. Dont know whether I posted this before but this happened 8 years ago and was in most of the nationals, I created a bit of a stir, but not intentionally. I didnt paint the lines by the way, I just photographed them and rung in the story Workmen are cone idle | The Sun |News
  12. That is exactly how I felt Andy, I was stunned he was 70 !! I told the police officer I was walking away, even after he hit me because I couldn't hit him back because he was elderly, but then he followed me on his phone after dialing 999 and reporting me for assault, so then I had no choice but to stay and wait for the police, otherwise "five o" would have turned up at my house in force with armed response, helicoptors and tanks
  13. Hahaha... To be honest he didn't look that old but the last thing you expect is for an oap to turn round an whack you Fair play to him, he has some bottle, I wouldn't have punched someone my size if I was him
  14. I did think of stevie at the time because he needs some advise about how to keep calm His blood pressure must be through the roof. I honestly was gob smacked that a 70 year old could act like that.
  15. Driving home in the landy today I was over taken on a blind bend by a chevy left hand drive people carrier type motor. Thought nothing of it but noticed he was driving extremely aggressively and intimidating cars infront of him driving 6ft off their bumpers at 40 mph. Cars were pulling out of his way to let him past. I ended up behind him again when all of a sudden he yanked on the brakes, no indication and slewed across the road, reversed a little then pulled into an engineering firm. I had to take avoiding action and slam on. No problem but I wound my window down and told him he needs to learn how to drive and stop driving like a tosser. He then told me to f off and proceeded to take a photo of the back of my motor and the sign writing. I calmly grabbed my business cards and told him there was no need to take a photo, here's my card and if he ever needed any tree work doing give me a ring. He was walking away from me so I tapped him on the shoulder with the card and said here you go mate. He then turned round and chinned me with a right hook. I just stood there and laughed at him and said that wasn't very freindly. He then called 999 and told them I was assaulting him Three cop cars and a black marya later I was being interveiwed by police. I told them what happened and told them I called him a tosser ect and they reveiwed cctv which he had on the building which backed up my story but the actual assault was just out of frame I just said, you can see me walking over with the business card box in one hand and business card in the other, hard to grab someone with business cards in your hand. The bloke wanted me to apologise for assaulting "him" After one hour of this bloke getting on the cops nipples they said I could go, he was obviously a nut but at that time the guy was on his phone to his solicitor because he wasn't getting what he wanted and he wanted me prosecuted What a funny end to the day There are some nuts about, next time I'll drive on, turned out the bloke was 70 He looked about 58-60
  16. I was professionally filmed for a careers video for arboriculture, thats why we have had no new input to arb since I did it
  17. I used glyphos on it's own for non residual and just add Chikara to the mix for a 6 month weed free residual mix. Chikara is awesome stuff for preventing long term regrowth
  18. Qualifications are tosh Some people have it, some dont. If your thick and stupid with no common sense then your are always going to be thick and stupid with no common sense
  19. Old fashioned soap flakes mixed with water, overspray as much as you like
  20. I say they should lower vat to 10% and make EVERYONE vat registered, at the moment, tax avoidance cost the government more and will cost them even more at 20% it's worth avoiding. If it was 10% less people would bother There will never be a level playing field because there will always be one vat registered person that will do a cash job I reckon vat registered people have an advantage because they can, if required, do a job for cash whilst also claiming vat back on the overheads of that job
