  1. stitch up springs to mind here, he did enventually fess that he didn't know what sort of tree it was and he did have a collins field guide in the cab of the van which if the truth be known not many people have that kicking around their wagon do they? However the H&S of that mob was disgraceful.
  2. but is it stevie blair proof?
  3. when did this idea start steve?
  4. a few red beer vouchers never goes amiss:drunk:
  5. could have have gone so wrong so quickly, glad you're ok mate.
  6. when i did my hedgelaying course the old boy who was teaching had a horsehide mitt made for him by a saddler. It might be worth having a word with your local saddler to make a mitt up from either horse hide or chromed leather.
  7. 'I love the smell of napalm in the morning, it smells of victory' i've had a couple of gardens like that and each time i've wished i had a
  8. b17 like the memphis belle tom.
  9. :lol: some of the villages like thorner where my family come from are still too expensive for village families to carry on living there:sneaky2:
  10. that's something you don't really see in this country, seperate vehicles for tools and kit and wood chip.
  11. in the middle of the golden triangle. footballer central. full of four wheel drives that have never been further off road than the verge outside their kids private nursery:sneaky2:
  12. did land rover make them then mick?
  13. try askham bryan college mate.
  14. i have a nasty case of deja vu coming here. anyone remember the angry kid and arbsquid threads?
  15. maybe your groundy could give him those nice uber-chav boots of his:lol:
  16. i didn't think you were allowed to have three seats in the front anymore hence why L/R put cubby boxes in all the defenders after a certain date.
  17. it's either a series 2 or its a 101. quite a fair bit of difference in these beasts. only similarity is they are forward control. unless someones been hybridising it.
  18. not much clenching going on there tom compared to the difference in mine:001_smile:
  19. threepenny bit, dustbin lid, threepenny bit, dustbin lid:001_tongue:
  20. you need to harvest those recycled curries as biofuel, you might be able to get a grant from the government for biofuel production, just think of all those lovely curries:001_tongue:
  21. i thought the same about the slash buster when it came to it getting to the other side of the county or whatever it was slow whereas a truck with five or six blokes with chainsaws could have been over and made a reasonable start on the job and like was said in an earlier post, they were just creating access for tracked machine so they could have laid a brashmat in effect. Anybody else spot the slightly stupid thing to do in the slashbuster bit? Those cranes belonging to mammoet were just insane; big meccano set:thumbup:
  22. thats what i was trying to say tom but made a hash of it (as usual )
  23. Anchor Supplies Ltd, Europes Leading Genuine Government Surplus Supplier

  25. speaking as a son who lost his father at a very young age, all i can say is you're both getting the best times of your lives and basically you should just enjoy it. i wanted to do what my dad had done even though i never really knew him but i ended up in an outdoor job (long story) which is apparently what all the men in the family have done over the centuries so i'm happy. sorry if that sounds very disjointed, just not sure how to put it. i think simply put stevie, if xander wants to be a tree surgeon he will if he doesn't he'll let you know and you'll still have the memories. best of both worlds mate:thumbup1:
