  1. Looks good:thumbup1: Can I assume that all Stihl/Husqvarna products are only available over the counter?
  2. Time served and experience mean nothing if your not good at your job. I've seen lads who have been in the game for 6 months that I would rather have working for me than some that have been 'in the game' for 10,15,20 etc years.
  3. Well its going to get worse because around here you will soon need a permit to go to the household refuse tip with either a truck or trailer. But at £170 a ton I would be driving down to deans plot to do a bit of fly by nighting!!!
  4. Interesting but sad stuff to read. Although it does seem your more likely to be killed if your older than 50:confused1: Seems that experience and being in the game for years doesnt seem to matter.
  5. Sounds like there's plenty of great ideas/options there:thumbup1: Mine apart from the obvious option of setting a load off tires on fire at the bottom and burning it all was to use those protective covers that they have on ratchet straps. Plus their free, just pop down to your local over night service station and help your self to some of the back of a wagon.

    Stihl hiflex

    Well whoever said that give them a slap on the back of the head for not making any sense. Plus if your comfortable wearing type C in hot weather then your not working hard enough:sneaky2:
  7. An exemption is what you want. Have a quick nosy here. Application Exemptions Its best to try and play nice with the LA but if they are being an arse and you dont really care just tell them what your doing and take plenty of photos along the way. Why they sometimes insist on an application(I assume thats the paper work their after as it has happened with us) in situations like this baffles me!
  8. Old age I think! No seriously though they are total scum:thumbdown:
  9. What happened! Did you leave the tailgate open on your truck on the way home yesterday?
  10. I think that before any LA starts to enforce work(off their own back not in Deans case) on others they should make sure their own tree stock I'd in good shape:sneaky2: Black pots and kettles. There no point in having a duty of care if you have to wait until someone is injured before the HSE act etc.
  11. There will be a problem with the machine. They should have no problem running on this heat.
  12. True although cats don't need rescuing its just the owners panicking and the cat thinks yeah this will be a laugh. I'll wait until he's chased me all around the tree. Scratch him up a bit then jump down when I feel like.
  13. Just needs some fluffy dice. [ATTACH]40568[/ATTACH] Or rather somewhere to hang them!
  14. The duty of care is one thing but enforcing it is another. Hope you get the answers/responses you need to help her out. I'd wager theres not much that can be done until there's an accident.
  15. I'd stop doing it for now then. You need permits to burn waste and you will also need a waste carriers license.
  16. I don't hate all dogs. Its not like I would go out and shoot every single dog with an M16 if the law allowed. I would certainly spare a few for our Korean friends and the blind. A world without dog pooh on the pavements and in the park plus uninterrupted silence from yapping dogs would be a fine thing. Btw just before someone takes off on me I am pulling your legs. Its the bad dogs owners that need mowing down with my automatic sidearm.
  17. What sized crane did you use on that job!!
  18. Yep your all rubbish. Its me and my army of cats against the world. How many cat owners have to get on their hands and knees to pick crap up off the floor eh! Go on, pick up that pooh:lol: You pooh picking up crap rubbish people you.
  19. I dunnno I'd like to live on the couch as I do now. Otherwise I woulda been dead 10 years ago if nature had taken its course. We live way beyond our life expectancy and I'd like to keep it that way. When your dead your dead. Theres nothing else. I like the furry bit with claws though.
  20. Nope I'm sorry dogs are like horses they are just crap. I'll even throw guinea pigs and hampsters into that category too tbh. I suppose dogs are great if your lonely and have no friends or family.Or I suppose you can take them on walks to get away from the missus and kids etc. Yeah dogs are just rubbish.
  21. Yeah if that tree was earmarked to be condemned it would be well gone.
  22. Height wise prob a 90-100 max foot pop. Although for volume prob a big beech or chestnut.
  23. No problem with that I feel exactly the same but with dogs. Dogs are dumb buggers compared to cats. Hmmmm dogs V cats in an intelligence war, the dog being the groundy of the pet world. I think I could get a good a thread out of that.
  24. Ahh right. Sounds good.
  25. Or he could say he's getting 1K but really be getting half that. Wouldnt be the first person to be full of crap and for some bizarre reason say they are doing better than they are!
