Holy cow Tony, didnt want to spend that much Canon 24-105mm f4.0 Lens L Series on eBay (end time 28-Jun-10 15:47:11 BST) I was originally lookng at this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NEW-CANON-EF-28-135mm-f-3-5-5-6-USM-ZOOM-LENS-28-135-/380181360489?cmd=ViewItem&pt=UK_CamerasPhoto_CameraAccessories_CameraLensesFilters_JN&hash=item5884932f69

Cheers Tony I'll let you know mate

I'm not really bothered about Image stabilisation, just want a qualty lense that will be good for a wide range of "walkabout" photos similar to Monkey D's last batch I'm will to spend decent money as a photo is only as good as the lense isn't it

Fancied what ?

At the moment I'm looking for another lense for my camera, but dont know what I want, I do know I want a zoom with Image stabilisation I have got a Canon 40d with a Sigma 17-35mm lense for portrait close up stuff I am wanting something like 20-100 I think for longer range stuff ?? In other words what do I need

As much as I can Ian, it stands me at £112 and I have used it once just to try it out It has the hollowing head and a finger gouge with it I'd hoped I would get £80 for it by lumping it in with the lathe to make the lathe more attractive to someone because the rest of the chisels are crap

I find face to face people are more ameanable Once it goes to letters people say things they wouldn't normally say and things get out of hand

Will do

He worked for me about two years ago Tommy, I was browsing through photo's on my comp and found two of him asleep so thought I'd have some fun. I rang him and told him to look..... Good fun while it lasted I tell you something though, the lad weighed 27 stone when he started with me, he lost about 8 stone in six months and he was like a bull dozer at dragging brash

The best one I had was the Asian guy coming to me for help after being stabbed with a samuri sword. I thought he was setting me up, he was holding his shoulder. I told him I'd batter him if he came any closer and to stand there and take his top off and show me the stab wound Once he'd done that I treat him for shock, dressed the wound and called 999, who incidently didnt attend till armed response was available Haha, Dean.....full of sympathy as usual, get a grip man it's only a scratch !! Apparently he was a drug dealer that had trodden on another toes, he had been kidnapped, bundled in the boot of a car, stabbed with the samuri and dumped, then they tried to reverse over him....all outside deanos house. Just another day at the office

What game ?????

If it comes down to it Tony I'm just going to jump over the wall into his property and climb the tree, do thedeadwooding. If he wants to sue me let him go for it but it will make him have to come out and confront me and his neighbours rather than hiding behind electric gates and pen and paper. I will then get the opportunity to make his position clear, I will then tell her to file a claim against him at the small claims court for the cost of works plus her and my costs. It very cheap and straightforward to do now

It all adds a bit of excitement to the day Justin, Mozza has to put up with that all the time mate, three time a day

I reckon she would have to pee on the judges kids for him not to be sympathetic and find in her favor

Cheers Tony, I'll google it What really peevs me is that someone has to pay to maintain a tree that doesn't belong to them

I've asked her to ring the Tree Officer monday and ask him what course of action is open to her, the last thing she wants to be doing is falling out with neighbours and get involved in legal action, she has been extremely pleasant with him. All he has done is ignored all her letters and then when she sent one saying she had permission to work on the tree, she got a letter back saying work on the tree by all means but dont come on to their land. I reckon instead of sending letters the rich guy could have just popped his head over the wall. She has even tried to see him but he has electric gates and wont respond to the gate intercom. Thats the reason I put in the application to try and force a response either from him or the TO I hate getting involved in these things as your time is sapped up for no reward. I dont mind giving advice but you then find yourself being drawn in by the client He has a shop in the town centre, it might be worth me telling her which one and she can go in and confront him there infront of his customers, I always find people more responsive that way

The questions to seller are well worth a look through

How do we get the owner of a Tree or Trees to Deadwood their trees without wasting money on solicitors. Senario: I went to look at a 90ft tpo'd lime on the boundary of a very large property which has houses and back gardens all around it's periphery and trees overhanging the neighbouring properties Historically, all the neighbours have approached the (wealthy) tree owner to ask him to prune or deadwood his trees, he as always refused and said they could pay for the maintainance. This lime has dropped large peices of deadwood into the small back garden of my client where their childrem play. I put in a controversial application to the council to remove the tree on the basis that the tree owner is failing (despite numerous requests) to maintain his tree, basically as a protest. The permission was obviously refused but the owner of the tree responded by saying the client could deadwood the tree at their own expense provided they did not come onto their land. My client has over a long period of time nicely and politely asked for the tree owner to care for his trees, but the Tree owner is (I know of him) an arrrogant sod and they are basically wasting their breath. I have told the client I cant deadwood the trees without entering the property to climb the tree and beside that it is not my clients remit to maintain his trees, the tree owner has a legal obligation to maintain and deadwood his own trees and not force his neigbours to pay. How and who serves enforcement notices to tree owners to make safe their trees, I know the council do it on roadside trees but can they do it in the domestic garden enviroment ? It really does make my blood boil this type of situation, the client is really stressed about the whole situation and is heavily pregnant

It had crossed my mind

I'll tell Bob I have lost it and will have to give him cash value £0.99p

What a pratt thanks ian I didn't realise what you meant mate, luckily Bobs noticed and bought it for me I dont know what happened there mate and me a seasoned ebayer

Isn't it a rip off mate... You put a reserve on it costs £4 per hundred and if you start at a high price they charge you big for that. Ebay try and force you to start low by price Thats why I dont bother with reserves and tell them if it doesn't make such and such they dont get it simple I messed up on the dog collar and couldn't go back

D'ya reckon they'd be interested in a landy load of conny chip Stevie ? How much they paying
