Sorry to hear of your loss pete. I would consider having a word with the trade body for funeral directors as i'm pretty sure they have a code of practice and that somewhere in there will be something about respecting the vulnerability of the bereaved.

Just like our lads in the armed forces to show up the americans etc:001_cool:

I think a few gallons of St Peter's finest quaffing juice is called for there mate and some clean stretch airs. Seriously though glad you're ok, could have been really nasty by sound of it.

You could try a firm called visionalert, they seem to be quite good and reasonably priced.

Freshly cut yew is toxic to any animal with a basic digestive system ie horses and cows etc but i think this is just the foliage IRR.

Is there a scottish trade fair type thing? What are the odds that this is how the aa trade fair started out? I suppose the royal highland show is probably the nearest thing is it? or scotsturf?

belting little machine for domestic work and smaller stuff on site clearances, run it alongside a tw190trvgt or the tw shredder

Spoken to my mum about this who is a trained nursery nurse and she can't tolerate water on her face as it causes some sort of allergic reaction. She suggests standing at side of bath without his shirt on, leaning forward over the bath with a face cloth over his eyes if he wants, put water in the bath and use a small cup or jug to pour water over his head, as little shampoo as poss, let him rub the shampoo into his hair and play with the lather as he can stand up to do this and look in the mirror etc and then rinse off with him stood over the bath again. Doing it this way he probably won't freak out at having a bath if he associates having a bath with his hair being washed as he still has clothes on when he has his hair washed. Hope this helps. It worked for me until i went to boarding school with cold showers every morning!

Why not try northern tool and equipment, they have quite a good selection in their latest catalogue.

Thats only a flesh wound:scared1: I bet that tickled.

Yeah, but you never got stuck in mud due to the chunk of tractor tyre welded to the bottom

Thats a mighty fine landy 130 you've got there pete:001_tongue: the ford doesn't look too bad either

Yeah just like the big clearing saw handles. I don't know about the electric start, i think it will probably be a stuck in the back pack models and not be found in any other models, nice concept though, saves taking off the back pack to start it up again but then i can be pain lazy when it comes to things like that:001_tongue:

If you were at the apf there was the new 'special accessory' for the backpack blowers esp the 600: a cowhorn handle. This is a godsend as the 600 will rip your arm out of its socket when you first use it if your not used to them. Even the guys on the stihl stand said you could tell the lads who used a 600 all day as their right forearms are about twice the size of their left forearms (slight exageration, but not by much). The 4mix engine is a lot quieter than a two stroke due to the lower engine tone and the fuel consumption is less than a two stroke, i filled mine to the brim on wednesday morning, still got half a tank after doing 3/4 acre of garden.

The dark grey gloves that nod at treeworker sells are great in the wet and keep your hands fairly warm. £5 a pair.

the husqvarna leather forestry boot is quite a comfy boot with plenty of support and a nice instep for spiking

Just your colour, those slippers SWB. You could get frank to match a hair dye up for you:001_tongue:

Indeed you do sir. Sporting the latest fashion in west yorkshire; the freebie beanie with beard:001_tongue:

Mr Lofthouse found the perfect cure for the aforementioned affliction:scared1:

I can't help but think of the monty python song 'decomposing composers' which starts off with that piece.

NPTC LOLER Thorough Examination of Arboricultural Equipment

Kev, did you get my PM re loler course at TU? -
Andy, i think i must be quite lucky in that my local is used by a lot of tradesmen including builders, electricians, plumbers, a decorator and three gardeners who all pop in for a couple after work and we all stay in the snug which has a tile floor and very hard wearing fabric on the seats. That and the fact that the landlord is a plumber doesn't harm and he's often sat in there with us often in a worse state than we are.
