A: Improvise (something we should all be able to do) B: Get the kit from the tool box 10ft away.

This will probably kick up a storm. I've posted it here because I didn't want to hijack the charity thread. I carry three or four field dressings with me, in the vehicles and in the tool boxes, they are always to hand. I don't agree with and have never carried one on my harness, I personally don't see the point. If I injure myself in the tree I would self rescue and deal with it on the ground where things would be easier. If I couldn't self rescue I think it would be unlikely I'd be in a position to administer first aid on myself. If I had an arterial bleed on an extremity, I'd whip my belt round the injured limb to tornoquet it. How many that do carry first aid kits have used them in the Tree to the extent where they couldn't do anything else.

You do realise that it's not a Tea and Coffee drinking session. You'll need to leave your flask at home. You can take your Armchair and Knee blanket to keep you cosy.

I'm far too sensible to get involved drinking with you lot

Who's told you that, Customs and Excise

That's from Millers Oils 200 yards down the road from me. They sell they're own red and bio white and make all the additives to go in them. They also have theyre own research dept. The basic stuff should be the same, it's what each individual retailer puts in additive wise. Such as anti foam, detergents etc. I'm only quoting what they have told me

I wouldn't have thought there'd be any side effects if you are doing hard physically excertion. At the beggining of summer I suffered the same banging headaches and nausia. Some people on here don't drink lots of water, just cups of tea etc and say they don't suffer dehydration. All I can say is they're drinking so much tea they've not got time to do anything physical or they're just not working hard enough. Might not be so good supping them like pop whilst in an armchair watching coronation street

Buzz, I keep forgetting that others work away from home. All my jobs are within a couple of miles from my yard so it's nothing for me to go and tip. I think you have just been extra unlucky with your Mog. Dave: Shouldn't be any different running red to white, it's the same stuff only one is dyed. Taking your injectors out and having new nozzles put on would make a difference if they have never been serviced. Also people neglect their valve tappet gaps, out of sight out of mind. You could get Todd to jump out and push when you come to a hill, that might save some fuel.

Can we have some after shots Steve ??

Ditto

Good point Tom, sensible suggestion. The amount we do sweat out though is not replaceable through normal diet. It has to be put back artificailly. Table salt is an emergency quick fix measure taught to us in the Army as part of our first aid training. But times have moved on and all sorts of remedies and potions and sports drinks are available now from such as sports stores and health stores.

Yes it does

Yeh, but I'm thinking that maybe where your lass plugs you in to charge you up at night.

It must have been a very strong wind judging by how clean the breaks are.

Your having a laugh. I'd like to see you doing 200ft of them x 10ft high three times a year at £60 per hour.

The point is, the neighbour doesn't have a say. The trees are effectively forced upon the neighbour. Fair enough if you buy a house with trees you know what you are buying. But for someone to share their Xmas tree with you when you don't want to is wrong. I think this has been mentioned before, that their should be some sort of LA guidence on appropriate / inappropriate planting of trees. How many Gum trees have we seen where it has been bought from B@Q because it is a nice little tree, to outgrow it's planting position in a short period of time, with the tree owner saying, well I didn't know it grew so big so fast.

Those marks on the back of your neck steve........ not starred in the Matrix have you?

I'd take it back and ask for my money back

Looks like storm damage to me

That's what next doors Gardener charges. Today I saw him trimming the laurel hedge, with loppers. Not a set of hedgetrimmers in sight. A 15 minute job must have taken him at least 2 hours. I personally can't afford a gardener, they charge too much.
-
The clue is in how you spell Plan-ting, ie "Plan" where you are going to put it. Thats why I haven't planted any in my garden From my "limited" knowledge, I would say you wouldn't plant a Cherry Tree in a 20ft by 20ft garden.

It's all in your mind Bob

I was all for buying a Morpho at the AA. Looked good in the pictures but not in the flesh.
