yep, ill be watching the highlights every night, love it, it'll be a chance for Chris Frome to show what he can do, because he worked his bollocks off last year for wiggins, Mick I done end to end back in 2000 and loved it, we done from lands end up to Scotland, the wind direction plays a big part in it.

I've got a tag heuer for best, I lost it a while back and was absolutely gutted, searched everywhere for it but couldn't find it, after about 3 months the wife was cleaning out the upright fridge freezer and found it in the top compartment of the freezer door, I must have been half cut one night and put it on top of the fridge and it must have dropped in when the door was opened, took it for a service and new battery and its working fine now

I always wear a watch, ive got a G shock with rubber strap, it takes quite a hammering in work but is still in one piece after 2 years.

I dont know if anybody noticed but when Tree;Tment started this thread it was his first post on here, and after replies like mr stockbridge has put on i wouldnt be suprised if he doesnt post again, the guy came on here to warn us about a health risk from something that most of us work with everyday, so if people have'nt got something constructive to post dont bother.

after the first or second day i think i would have put my lunchbox somewhere where the dog couldnt have got it, i think any dog would pinch food left out

thanks for the heads up on that, hope your feeling better, was it old woodchip that you had it from.

when i had my transit done the guy had left the C out of tree services, so it read servies, i had'nt noticed for a year until someone pointed it out to me

I wouldnt pass comments like that until your prepared to put videos of your own on, good video by the way.

i think its the blades would take the worst hammering, i done one last year for a big building company, same thing track machine dragged everything into a big pile, i told the site manager that i wouldnt put it through my chipper, so he agreed to hire one in, happy days.

ive got a pair of peltor's they are very good and now have an mp3 plug, and recently bought a couple of pairs of lidl ones for guys on a strimming job and they were very pleased with them.

when not doing chainsaw work i just wear combats from army and navy store, dont want to risk snagging expensive trousres while fencing etc.

so, did any of you get spoilt this morning, i had breakfast in bed and tickets to go and see Mrs Browns Boys, any body else get pampered:001_smile:

down our way you can get a tracked greenmech for £300 a week, they fill it with diesel and it has to go back full or they charge you, your better off picking it up yourself as well as most hire companies charge delivery, if the blades are blunt just tell them and they should change them,

what stuff were you chipping to have to change them every 8 hours, i do mine about 15 to 20 hours.

with a broken leg i'd say your out for a bit more than a month Tim,

peltors were 79,99 from Englebert Strauss

i got a pair of peltor's, really good, and the newer ones have mp3 socket, i also bought a couple of pairs of the aldi ones really good for the price, but as has been said dont get them wet.

im sure that was George Michael

fair enough everyone is allowed opinions rightly or wrongly but i think some of the replies are way below the belt, telling the guy he needs to look at his buisness model, questioning why the head of a company was doing manual work in the first place, calling the job a farce from begining to end, and Jonny vine for you to say "which brings me to believe this was not a one off fiasco, it is standard operating procedure for this crowd hence the high annual figures" ffs you dont even know the guy, it seems to me that he turned up to the job was not happy to do it so the original contractor took it upon himself to fell the tree across the road which took all responsibility off the subby, we do not know how far he had travelled to the job, so while he was there he most probably offered to help clean up, granted the guy on the saw may have been a bit careless and an accident happened, the OP did ask for opinions, but sometimes i think people need to read what theyve written before posting.

padawan ?

i burnt some this winter, burnt ok, as for the weight chuck it all on and if its too much take a pic and put it on the overloaded thread lol.

it was only a little stihl 181 i use for snedding up by the back of the chipper, i was working in the drive way of a big hotel in Llanelli, moved the saws up by the back of the van to have break, was sitting in the van when a taxi driver pulled up alongside and said he'd seen two kids running up the road with a saw, but, my fault and lesson learnt, just glad it was'nt my 357.

thats bad news mate, had a saw pinched from under my nose the other day, scumbags, will keep an eye poen for it down this end of south wales

the pile next to the shopping trolley look like softwood, after reading in your other thread whats the reason for not being able to use a chainsaw.

are you a BASC member Dean, if you have had your guns taken off you through no fault of your own they usually help you out.
