  1. ` The Wheelwrights Shop' EP Thompson `Illusions' Richard Bach Both books will make you a better tree surgeon without ever mentioning it. The Literary versions of painting the fence and polishing the car. Luton protest was insignificant. Dont worry about it. They got worse in Iraq. Should have been a seperate thread dude.
  2. She's at work, where i was last time. We have the same number for both businesses. I'm at home with man flu and a cough to frighten the devil himself. When i speak i cough so nest I don't speak for a bit.
  3. No No No. Kids are resistant to this. They couldn't be tortured for information because of it. No, what you'll have to do is let him see you get all timote'd up twice a day and laughing like a loon while you do it. You'll have the softest grade one at the shows.
  4. With a tarp, wont all the dust blow back out? Netting would be better wouldn't it?
  5. My absolute first pair of boots were given to me in 1985, they'd belonged to a previous employee who had hanged himself. Dead mans boots! Wasn't I a lucky guy.
  6. The shorter jackets are designed to fit above the harness, for maximum flexability. Your arse getting wet is the sacrifice made for this. If its really lashing down you cant see through a visor or glasses well enough to climb efficiently anyway. Time to steam up the windows in the cab and listen to daytime radio.
  7. Had the same problem with my son for a couple of years. Also tried the frisbee hat too. Eventually we had him lie back and used a very small plastic beaker to wet his hare and rinse. The screaming goes on for a while and eventually he'll grow out of it. I would suggest that at 3 1/2 he's complaining about it as much as he can because he doesn't like it, I doubt he's being traumatized. As long as you guys remain calm and give him lots of cuddles afterward, eventually he'll be fine and wont be scarred for life. At the end of the day it's not actually hurting him, but as a parent it's hard when the most precious person bar none in your life appears to be so unhappy. Penfolds post sounded very helpful. Either way, I think the key to a slow (because it wont be quick) change in bath time is your behavior and attitude. Almost every response young boys and men for that matter have to any given situation is attributed to observing their fathers.
  8. Thats quite something from a Scotsman. Scotland is eye candy
  9. Willow felling for cricket bats is by all accounts the most differcult. The gob is about 10 degrees and very shallow, then the back cut comes in at the same height very quickly, This prersumably is to get the most out of the tree and to ensure less damage to the fibres as it goes over. Bit daunting tho, with out directional pull. Anyone else have any willow felling insights?
  10. What happend next John? The guys were about to pull the top off and.....
  11. My chosen jacket is aMtn. Equipment soft shell.
  12. Bit long for climbing in. seems like a good forest jacket. Ray mears is a fan isn't he?
  13. Clean up after your dog, a brown evergreen Pull lever for change. Closely related to no parking tree Bill stickers will be prosecuted. The paper back service tree Jim loves Sienna. Not really a proper tree, more a weed species.
  14. I'm sure you can. I notice in the pic, that your not in it. Naughty.
  15. Do you have realistic gripping hands Joe?
  16. Forgot about that. how are you? Will you be a hopping salesman by the 24th?
  17. What's the sizing like on the stein? I take a medium/large most of the time but for climbing, I would need longer back and sleeves. Comments?
  18. Sammy Knuckles Watson did a bank job 20 years ago. He was the youngest of the crew at a sprightly 60 at the time. The gang have all popped off this mortal coil for some time now. Trouble is, the money was stashed inside the cavity of a large tree outside a police station. Until recently it was 24 hours a day manned. But due to recent cut backs, the station is only manned during the week. Sammy didn't stash the cash himself, it was put there by Errol the black butcher of Barking. Who as we know is very much brown bread. Sammy got the job as the cleaner at the station. Biding his time. Recently diagnosed with primary lung cancer, Sammy now knows he only has a week to live, to get the money and have a stupid spend up. Its wearing away at his soul. He phones up a tree company. You ask to many questions. He phoned me up next and I got 100K! result. Might send this to Guy Ritchie.
  19. New zips. Your local tailor will do it very much cheaper than a new jacket. Is the stretch air waterproof and breathable?
  20. Like Gollum leading Sam and master frodo across the dead marshes. Tony, I can see you were once a man like us, but the ring destroyed your human soul. Yes If I can stomach it i will come along, It's local and looks good too.
