  1. Here is the one I've ordered. Much the same. Ty Wistiki : L?application pour retrouver ses objets perdus - Wistiki
  2. Good tip! Which is his new Ranger key...? Ty:lol:
  3. Keys are locked in a safe room at work when not being used. It's the key I dropped in the yard which presented the problem. No headtorch, rain, leaves and end of week fatigue. Still, found it in the end but used up my lexicon of French naughty words doing so. Geo-localisation key ring arrives Monday from Amazon.fr Will put it to the test by attaching it to the ex-apprentice and burying him in the chip pile. See if my smart phone can find him before he suffocates. Ty
  4. I'll post on on my FB page shortly to keep you amused this cold wet weekend. Ty:biggrin:
  5. That's where you went wrong, putting 'everything' on as well as your glasses... Ty
  6. Or keep it use an electric grinder on it instead. Pro sharpening services will use one. Shame to waste the chain. Ty
  7. Or rather, how to avoid losing them. I dropped my black car key in the yard this evening and spent a jolly old time crawling around in the dark and drizzle cursing black as a choice of car keys... Does any-one use GPS key fobs? Very basic using bluetooth and your smart phone. Good for around 30m not much more but can also remember the last position of your keys too. I've taken a punt on one I found on Amazon for 20euros but wondered if there are any better solutions out here. Ty

  9. However... You still could have bought a 4/5 seater 4x4 as a personal vehicle and charged your business the official tax rate per km. This often works out far more lucrative. If I was a sole trader I'd be doing exactly that. Ty

    <p>Last day today. All grass and leaf work though.</p>

    <p>Tom is a proper character, always positive and good for a laugh. His pruning is top spec. His habit of smoking on the job, one handing top handles on the ground I can ignore as he is a hard worker and knows his trade. I'll employ him again, in fact I've looking forward too his return. His biggest fear is being ripped off by new employers. He likes boys, drugs, tight leather shorts, videos of beastiality and fetish so a couple of days gimping for the THE GRINDER MAN' should suit him just dandy. Call me this evening and I'll fill you in more.</p>

     

  11. Get a quote from a French dealer. I could help you with that if you message me your requirements. Our 2 JD tractors where less expensive here. You may save more than enough to warrant the effort. Regards
  12. What colour beard? Do you think a red forked one would be the ultimate stopper? Ty
  13. I had a full road closure last year here in town. Council supplied the metal barriers and we bolstered the defences with a load of brash to discourage pushy sorts. Still the they came, 2 guys out jogging, both ways too, vaulting the barriers and one dodging a chog that splattered him with gravel. I nearly had an anxiety attack. Then a little old lady quietly opening a barrier to walk her dog through the mess of branches THEN a youngster who called his dad to come and argue the toss with us for not letting him pass. Good old Dad told his son where to get off and then came out to apologise to us. One lady driver unwilling to make a detour called the Mayor's office to complain as well. Short of manning the barriers with arm to arm groundies I despair when it comes to securing a work site from the general public menace... Ty

  15. No-one, Europeans just don't care unless it is happening on twitter. Quote: French President Francois Hollande’s first comments after the Paris attacks demonstrate as much: “We will continue to lead the fight, and it will be merciless,” he said. It’s sentences like that which should give Europeans even more reason to fear where this will all lead. Merciless...? Merciless is what ISIS is. Impotent is what France is. Ty
  16. No-one is lighting candles or writing Je suis 'Afghan' for the twenty six thousand civilians killed in 13 years of war. Ty

    <p>Hello Pete,</p>

    <p> Hope your over your 'man flu'</p>

    <p>I'm down with sinusitus which for me is comparable to being kicked in the face by a horse.</p>

    <p>But I digress...</p>

    <p> So I have haggled hard here and beat the dealers into submission over a G.M 190.</p>

    <p>It's ordered BUT... and this is a BIG BUT...</p>

    <p>We won't get it until January at the earliest.</p>

    <p>This is not just inconvenient but ******* bloody disasterous for us.</p>

    <p>Is there any way that GM/HQ can see a way to giving us priority on delivery?</p>

    <p> I know it's a big ask BUT... This will be our third G.M, I'm brand loyal, must count for something eh?</p>

    <p> Please, if you have any influence then consider our cause.</p>

    <p>Slightly short of begging tone of writing here.</p>

    <p>Regards</p>

    <p> Stuart</p>

     

  18. Not a surprise really. There are already bacteria in existance which digest crude oil. The plastic eating fungi must already be at work on my Quadchip as well as a bearing eating fungus and one which blunts my saws... although that could be just a useless groundy. Ty
  19. The British lad I have climbing for me, today had a moment in an 30m Abies alba. The crown was very busy and thick with broken deadwood. Too much deadwood, broken limbs to throw a flip line around and with all the mess on the stem a horrible climb from the ladder to his anchor point. I told him to come down, leave his line and go again Thursday. He may have had a moment but he is still twice the climber I never was. Ty
  20. Manflu! Keep your rotten spring. Better to cut brash up in a trailer than risk contact with you:lol: Ty
  21. Too right! Ty
  22. I'll put my money on the Mog owners... Ty:biggrin:
  23. Do you have a web site or FB? I'd love to have a look at your kit. Ty
  24. Just priced a Lawson fell for a client I last worked for 5 years previously. Then we ran a wee chipper, lacked experience, underpriced the job, ran over but smiled cheerfully regardless. When I gave the 2016 price (for it would be for January) the client baulked and reminded me of my previous price which was less money for more trees. So I was honest, told him the 2010 price was erroneous and that the exchange rate had risen from parity to 1.42 and that no man alive shoould work as hard as we did for so little. The price I offered was correct for todays circumstances. I didn't get the job but I doubt any-one else will either unless another me from 2010 pops up in the next few months. Ty Ty
  25. I understand that this Cowdray tree to be a mere 300years old. Ty
