  1. Been to BnQ myself today and got a nice 6 footer nordman for 35 quid, job done. Btw Mrs Pedroski must be the only person in the world ever to buy a tree that is still wrapped up!
  2. Just thinking the same! Possibly an inside job.

    Just use an air wrench ,saves a lot of effort. Just remember to undo it clockwise, it has a left hand thread.
  4. Pricess are extortionate atm. £50 for your standard 6-7 foot nordman! For the first time Im thinking of getting a false tree as it is just getting ridiculous!
  5. Tbh it sounds like he was being very upfront from the start so at least you should know what to expect. Although I still wouldn't work for anyone with that attitude regardless about being open about it. Im sure he expects you to up your rates so just have a word with him before you start the job. He might not have the money on the job to up your rates but then it's call if you want the wok or not.
  6. You sure about that? It may get close to the speed of light but it wont reach it. I know, a very fat bloke down the pub explained it all.
  7. Space is easily warped so getting there shouldnt be a problem, theoretically. Interesting stuff though, love this kind of thing. Its neutrinos that they think are moving faster than the speed of light.
  8. A cheap clarke 160 mig. Cheap, cheerful but will melt 5mm which is good enough for me. An expensive mig is a pleasure to use though. My advice is to buy a mig, you know if you have a good weld or not, with a stick welder it might look good.
  9. Hope he is doing well and it's nothing serious.
  10. She was probably infected by a backdoor trojan.
  11. I imagine its because of volume of sales. Its not like they wear out very quickly or get damaged easily.
  12. Looks like a second generation scum bag raising a third generation scum bag. Poor kid doesnt stand much of a chance whatsoever being raised by someone with low intelligence, obviously pissed, not a clue what she is talking about and blaming others for her problems in life. People like that should be sterilised.
  13. 96p a litre at the pump in a garage the other day. Gone up by over 10p in the last few months. I reckon I win this contest:thumbup:
  14. The 88 to get some work done, the 3120 to improve your mechanical skills.
  15. Hey I'm always one step ahead. Anyway my plan was to use 4 extra men all sort of penning the strimmer guy in with an 8x4 foot piece of ply board. Hmm maybe one guy at the front with a flashing beacon on his helmet for good measure. Besides there are loads of grass cutters scratching their arses ATM so why not use a few of those? Better than sending them out to mutilate the street trees with a bow saw, pole saw and a wooly hat for protection.
  16. Sorry for any misunderstanding I didnt mean you were talking bollocks I meant the attitude of the insurance company. What annoys me about all of this is that if you go down the solicitor route there is probably an extremely good chance you will win(the fact that they said they did the damage means it is undeniably their fault and too right they should pay for damage as should everyone who damages someones elses property!) and it will cost them a hell of a lot more than £65 which will push their premiums up so more money comes out of the tax payers pocket and straight into the back wallet slot of some leach of a solcitor, who will no doubt convince you you have been well and truly stressed out by all of this and should be paid compensation etc etc. Insurance companies are their own worst enemy but then they don't need to care about the costs as they just recoup them by putting up the premiums. Anyway I use a stump guard when grinding out stumps in pavements to stop stones flicking out at pedestrians and cars etc so why cant they do the same?
  17. I would be jumping to the conclusion that she isn't insured. It is amazing the amount of people who aren't insured or don't have a license, who btw should all be shot. Good to hear his injuries weren't anything more serious.
  18. That sounds like A big load of bollocks! Surely it was an accident plain and simple, and isn't that the exact reason we pay for insurance!? If the LA are deemed negligent would the insurance then say that they aren't paying out because the LA didn't follow such and such guidelines etc etc? Will be very interesting to find out what happens and why. I would hate there to be any kind of fatal accident involving that LA! Good luck I hope it works out for you.
  19. I remember you writing a job description for that guy, did you ever get him?
  20. Someone who doesn't think" I want to get this down ASAP, so stuff whatever and whoever is going on on the ground"
  21. Awwww, I thought he was planning on making a mini burner or something. In that case, go and buy one Bob you cheap bugger!
  22. What you planning on making Bob?
  23. And errr what I thought everyone does but apparently not! Although lassoing it with the 020 sometimes works.
  24. Not his no1 fan then? Have you read any of his books? They are funny. As a writer I think he is good, as a presenter/comedian wannabe his is fairly poor. Top gear used to be quite good years ago but I just cant stand to watch it now its became the Jeremy Clarkson show! Well only watch bits of it when a decent car is on but cant really understand the put on fakeness crap.
  25. I wonder if you need an operators license for that dog when towing a trailer of that size?
