  1. i find there are often some good articles in there tcd and not just relating to sports turf either. does your copy just drop through the letterbox then or do you subscribe?
  2. i'd have thought once was enough to convince you silky + rope = fall but six times; must have been the shock . Seriously though pete good on you for doing this; am i alone in thinking there should be a section showing all the different tests that have been done by members (either intentional or unintentional but not resulting in hospitilisation or requiring medical attention)?
  3. you could try one of trilo's tow behind blower/vacuums. They use them after concerts and stuff. if its council just get them to put one of their little sweeper wagons over it.
  4. i think the phrase you're looking for dave is "fear lent him wings":001_tongue: or is it red bull gives you wings i can't quite remember.
  5. working reet champion in t'west riding lads.
  6. you were warned about mentioning the orange brand and championing them, orange and grey will prevail. honestly though have you checked your internet provider.
  7. i meant at the same time matt:confused1: Hows the landy running?
  8. At the yorkshire show last year thay had man vs machine felling and snedding and crosscutting. Also two blokes racing each other to fell a pole as close to a balloon on a stick as possible. Kids were picked from the audience to put the balloon where they wanted to (within reason) and got a t shirt (sponsored by oregon or something). Bazbro was there and did a couple of demos with the boxer and a remote controlled carlton stumper. There was also some lads doing greenwoodworking and some others demoing a big heizohack chipper, all at different points in the day of course apart rom the green woodworking.

    danny, just buy new buy stihl and you won't go far wrong although there are some misguided fools who use husqvarna:001_tongue:
  10. like frank says it depends on the situation. Apparently on the railways it's full orange now and full yellow on the roads although leeds ciy council highways lads still seem to be wearing orange and yellow:confused1:
  11. I used to work in a kitchen for a bit as a kitchen porter and believe me some of the stuff that goes on is too gross to even think about censoring from these kitchen nightmares from hell programmes:scared1:

    dan, you've opened a big can of worms with that comment of yours.
  13. wearing no ring at all doesn't stop degloving if the digit is crushed as the two edges of whatever is trapping it can deglove the finger, i know somebody who had a partial degloving of his finger just from it being trapped between two rollers at a printworks and he was told if he'd had a ring on it might have saved his finger. two sides to every coin, dave: but wearing a glove does stop anything catching behind the ring unless its a thorny tree. I wear an sos talisman bracelet and always make sure it is under the cuff of my gloves. Sorry for the rederail
  14. wear gloves? possible solution
  15. almost like the sign at a hospital: For family planning, please use rear entrance.

    Scary

    khriss, i think your prescrpition of four pints of OP a day should be supplemented by two pints of riggwelter before bed. but seriously, just drink loads of clear liquids and fruit juice. only one problem with that---
  17. in his school plimsolls
  18. Softbankshawk, have you always been at Writtle Park? I used to work at writtle park and ingatestone hall for lord petre about 5/6 years ago when Arthur Morgan-moore was the head gardener.
  19. A lad i know got pulled by the police as he was towing a twinaxled trailer behind a navara and it was full of hay bales, he was told he had to leave it there and go and get his dad to tow it to wherever it was going and back to the farm yet he can drive a tractor with a big grain trailer or a combine without any hassle:confused1:
  20. EA = environment agency:wink:
  21. Just been thinking (v painful!!) about Land rover's decision to shift freelander production to halewood from Solihull; the reason they gave was to make room for a new production line but i had the thought that maybe they liked the RR, Disco and Defender being called Solihull's finest but were a bit embarresed about the freelander:001_tongue:
  22. Try jo ryan at treesource- belting on line bookshop for all books tree related. If you can't understand some of the stuff that Klaus Mattheck talks about, he wrote a book called Stupsi explains, it looks like a kids book but explains his theories in laymans terms.
  23. Ed, i take it you got better again then after running away.
  24. JJG, i know where you're coming from on what you said. I suffer with epilepsy (not good for arb i know:scared1:) but there are a few epilepsy jokes out there that people think are in poor taste and act very sheepish if they tell them and i'm in earshot but i probably laugh the loudest at them.
  25. He'd fit right in amongst the premiership footballers:001_tongue:
