  1. Arr right so thats what it is. Chalk made by the cheese eating surrender monkeys is a no no then.
  2. Ive seen metal merchants using a white marker on steel, dunno if it will be any good for rope or what even type of marker it is. All in all a fairly useless post by me then.

    Best thing for you to do imo would be to pick up the yellow pages and give the local tree lads a call asking if they will sell you some. What they will want is somewhere they can easily tip a van load off quickly with no messing about. Unless you get some response from here obviously.
  4. I guess the old saying of you get what you pay for isnt relative in the zipper situation. Especially since they must be the most expensive trousers you can buy atm. Tbh I'd rather be seen with my todger hanging out than wearing braces!
  5. Cue the back passage, tradesman's entrance delivery jokes.
  6. WHAT!!! NO SMURF SONGS. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HzGPNi-8fAY]YouTube - smurfs go pop: 3 I've got a little puppy[/ame]
  7. We will never know exactly why they do these things because thankfully we don't think like they do. But I'd guess a combination of having no morels, ethics, not giving a toss about others and thinking there will no consequences from their actions that they have to worry about. Scumbags mate.
  8. Excellent stuff if you can sell them for that price. But, only if you can sell enough at that price. Just out of interest, and if you don't mind me asking how much do you sell bagged logs for?
  9. Surely the qualifications were talking about are just a basic requirement and nothing more. Its not like there very difficult to achieve. The problem is that a lot of people think that once they have them there a top class climber and in the same league as everyone else. No different from a young lad passing his driving test and thinking he's Michael Schumacher.
  10. You will want to use a tacho to do it properly.
  11. You only have one life, value it and that of others.
  12. Does seem a bit ott by Stihl. I was looking at the price for the Husky auto fuel spout and that also said only available over the counter. Looks like oregon and others are going to get improved sales.
  13. Looks good:thumbup1: Can I assume that all Stihl/Husqvarna products are only available over the counter?
  14. 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.
  15. 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!!!
  16. 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.
  17. 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.

    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:
  19. 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!
  20. Old age I think! No seriously though they are total scum:thumbdown:
  21. What happened! Did you leave the tailgate open on your truck on the way home yesterday?
  22. 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.
  23. There will be a problem with the machine. They should have no problem running on this heat.
  24. 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.
  25. Just needs some fluffy dice. [ATTACH]40568[/ATTACH] Or rather somewhere to hang them!
