    I have the old kask helmet which only meets 397 so will have to cough up a lung or sell a kidney atm to comply with new rules:scared1:

    Get the old yellow pages out and start ringing round a few people, there's even a couple of tree surgeons in garforth; also every time you hear chainsaws or hedge trimmers running just take two minutes to check it out and ask if the boss is around and if they need any help atm. There's plenty of firms round this side of leeds, just a matter of finding one who has the work on. I'm more of a garden maintenance firm who does a little bit of tree work as and when. Is Graham still the technician in the arb dept at ABC, if so give him my regards although he'll know me as jim rather than penfold.

    Sciadopitys, which would be cheaper for your bosses; eight nice shiny stein helmets or having to pay out the compy and possibly jail if one of you has an accident and is seriously injured or killed? to quote mastercard: Eight stein helmets: £x Employee's life: Priceless

    Theres always the exercise bike of arb: the tirfor winch or if you feel really brave and can find one a trewhella monkey winch. Both get rid of the beer gut and keep you warm.

    For that price it should only have delivery miles on the clock and the body just out of the workshop to sit on my drive.

    Magners comes nowhere near this stuff i had on sat; the nearest decent cider i've seen in the supermarkets has been Weston's Old Rosie at 7.2% and i've seen hardened cider drinkers from Bristol absolutely mashed out of their skulls on it:scared1:

    Beer price's

    penfold replied to cordwood's topic in The Lounge

    just got back from my local pub quiz night, three pints for £7.75. It gets even cheaper if you go to a sam smith's pub. Their strongest lager is about 6% and is about £2.40 a pint. It pays to be a Yorkshireman:001_tongue:

    Coppers hate when you have all your documents to hand and the car is totally roadworthy and you're sober just after pulling out of a pub car park; you can just see their faces drop as they can't get you on anything.

    if you're caught speeding,you can ask for a ten percent leeway apparently.

    I thought this was going to be a thread about stella or any other grown up crazy juice and was about to post about a stout i had on saturday. They only served it in halves as it was 8%!!

    i suppose if you have contacts in the area and they say its safe, i wouldn't argue as they are on the ground so to speak and see what's happening minute by minute whereas the fco probably hasn't got the latest info. Personally, i'd just go with gut feeling.

    just had a look at their website, and noticed next to the seat covers for land rover defenders 'Not suitable for seats fitted with airbags'. Does anybody know of a defender with airbags in the seat or even any airbags?

    if he was innocent, why did he run? If you've got nothing to hide then there shouldn't be any probs when the police pull you, should there? But do agree it was sad for somebody to lose their life like that rather than in old age at home in bed asleep.

    woodpicker, i'm fairly close to IC trees so i'll get in touch with him and follow him over. Whinmoor's near seacroft, so i'll be coming round the ring road for most of the journey, unless the sat nav on ian's truck says otherwise!

    Woodpicker, i think i know which junction of the A65 it is but just need to be sure. I'll probably be coming through Guiseley past Harry Ramsdens.

    Apparently you can call yourself a tree surgeon if you buy a chainsaw and a set of extension ladders from B&Q and have a pickup nicely sign written and knock on peoples doors:ohmy: No training, no insurance etc.
  23. penfold
    Ian do you know where woodpickers yard is? If you do, do you mind if i follow you; i think i know where it is but just want to be sure.
  24. penfold
