And did these well off legal types make good their neighbours damages regardless of the insurances stand? Imagine a poor widow recieving a cord of firewood across her lawn but unable to pay any-one to process it due to having to buy 8 grandkids presents plus the lack of the appropriate NPTC cert... Ty:laugh1:

So, I noticed a strange orange brown fungi (I assume) that looks like a spreading scab on a branch. Host was apple and sorry, no I don't have a decent image yet. But can any-one point me in the right direction to I.D it? Regards Ty

Did ya stuff a 'nana up the tailpipe like Eddy Murphy...? Ty

I hope this guy bought an enormous container of them that ties up his financial future forever then gets ragged over by the HSE, Watchdog, Rogue traders and several angry customers... Or am I just being too nasty...? Ty

What issue? I have no issues? What I did observe is that more dangerous than a salt water crocodile is a drunk white Australian male and that Aboriginals are a lost and futile race living of a diet of state handouts and V.B tinnies. Like I said, no issues, just observations from a traveler. Ty

I've seen these trees in the flesh. In 2009 I cycled across Australia and spent 90days under canvas. I visited the birth place of Albert at Hermansburg up in the MacDonnall ranges. Albert is also a national icon appearing on banknotes. There are white Australians who still detest Aboriginal culture although the Aboriginal culture of Alice Springs is visible to the tourist in the form of the sprawling drunk and unemployed. It is easy to see just why some-one would do this, there is enough hate simmering under the surface against the Aboriginals. What struck me about Australians in the Northern Territory though was sheer number of hard drinking racist rednecks. Just having small talk with people in a bar would invariably invite derogatory comments from some-one about Poms or Abo's or queers even! I was cycling at one point with a Chinese guy. I had walked into a roadhouse 100kms from everywhere, hot and sweaty, a fat bearded bike type serving behing the bar bellowed "#uck off, you've brought flies in with you and we don't serve queers and take your boyfriend with you, damn Chinks" A reference to our lycra shorts perhaps...? Expelled from the road house we cycled a few days together to Alice. Anyway, what is clear to me is that Julia Gillard really has her work cut out battling Red Necks in her own Parliament, fellow MP's with outdated chauvanistic values and haters of Aboriginal culture. In short, there is enough hate out there to burn a few iconic gums, it could even be Aboriginals angry that Albert is not of their tribe... Ty

Would you not be ashamed to promote such a poor product...? Ty

I get through alot of teeth with my HB20 Sidewinder, at least one if those zeros is thanks to me....hhhh! Ty

Gosh Darlings, I'm like "So Passe"...hhh! Ty:001_tongue:

Tried cheap cooking oil on my 260 last summer for a couple of weeks, just a trial mind. Wore the bar out double quick and stank of chips badly. Won't do that again! Ty

A broken Bandit is a 'bum Bandit' and Global don't tolerate them! Ty:biggrin:

I admit, if its a job any Good Ole Boy could do with a ladder and a top handle then I'll drop my price. In summer though, when burning is disallowed with heavy fines I make the point we have a chipper and can remove the waste easily. If its a tough nut of a tree then I name my price, some I win, some I lose. I also know just who works for what price and so drop my rate accordingly. Over the year its all swings and roundabouts, so long as I cover my costs and make a profit on a couple of days its all good. But I won't work for a loss if I can help it...I'd rather stay home. My grinder makes up for any dud days or trees prices close to the lower margin. Its an earner! Ty

I asked H.Bros about parts and its not imported into the U.K sadly. Ty

I got my 10 week course paid for by the state, just the course mind. I still had to live and pay for kit from my savings. I was claiming working tax credit before and that was the key to free adult education in 2008. As for funding... Your own car, cheap trailer with homemade greedy boards and a wee chipper is a start. Don't need a 130tipper and Quadchip to get a foothold in the business. Ty

Ah, shame on you 'Yew hunt' for messing Mr Martin around... Ty

Negri tracked €15'000 over here... For a machine of 15hp! Ty

Since buying our Quadchip the old faithfull CS100 wee chipper has been out 4 times in 5 months so we decided to sell it. Always kept clean, under cover and fussed over with a tacho fitted from new, 3 years of ownership, 229 hours, it fetched £620 less that we paid for it. It has cost us less than £3 per hour in depreciation. Keep it clean, keep it shiny and don't accept the first offer! Ty

Oh, I dunno...I've had my moments here and come close to being banned foreverer and everer... Fortunately Mr Bullman took me by the balls and squeezed them until I squeeeeked' then allowed me back on as humble as pie but walking bow legged... Strict but fair, I mean, in the bad old days they would have nailed my head to the floor and shot my dog just for saying **** or even you ***** **** Ty:biggrin:

Maybe its Butler before and after...? Ty

I did that once when I was a school prefect and therefore above suspicion. Ah happy days... However I'm just not sure Butler is to be trusted on this subject... Ty

Oh...really...a wind up...? I now understand. Butler has recently contacted me and sent me on a wild goose chase finding prices of firewood, transport and even the imports regs for Jersey. 200cords he wanted... Nothing, not a reply to emails nor phone calls. FANTASIST! Even Skyhuck doesn't annoy me as much as a fat, 'queer', snobrover driver I will ask the immam to put out a fatwah upon you when I go to Friday prayers:001_rolleyes: Ty

Just had the Bee man call me, he is very pleased. They are settling into their new hive and will slowly re-organise and rebuild the combs over the winter. Picked up the rest of the wood today and the smell of honey was deep and rich still on the hollow logs. I've kept some for planters in my herbaceous garden. Ty

Butler does not come over as being overtly religious... There again, I don't read everything on here. This morning I don't want to go to to work. I'm tired, a little low in spirit, weary of this weather and the knowledge that I pay 72% minimum 'tax' on 100% of my salary. Just how the French Connection U.K (FCUK) am I going to every get ahead here? So Butler, your not alone with your troubles but they are yours and yours to share. Ty

South of Rennes in an architects garden a rotten cherry collapsed at the butt and got hung up in an oak. My climber secured the tree, removed the crown and was levering it clear for a controled descent using a pulley and capstan when it just fell apart in mid descent exposing a decent sized bees nest full of liquid gold! I've never seen any-one exit a tree so fast...hhhh! So abandoning the site for a while to let the bees calm down we called a friend to come and collect them as bees are increasingly valuable these days. I'll get a pot or 2 out of this, tasted extrordinary fresh from the hive. Before any-one notices the lack of helmets it is because the bees kept attacking them and getting underneath. I cut through the piece being lowered so the beekeeper could access further into the hive and got well splattered in honey which further attracted more bees. Got 90% of the job done despite the delay! Ty
