SWB, just unblock the worm hole, you'll be down here in a couple of parsecs:001_tongue: It'd be just like the kesslor run but quicker!
-
I watched it to the end just for the piece of Antinoni (I think) but the rest of it was just background really

MesterH, i'm not having a dig here but imo there is no such thing as a fully trained tree surgeon/arborist/whatever as there are always new techniques and methods to learn; i'm sure many would probably say the same thing in whatever industry.
-
I had the experience that SWB mentioned about a monster tree that i said i would take down for next to nothing and a few jars, won't be doing one that size without an experienced person to guide me again:scared1:. On the subject of birds and braces, over shoulders or hanging down at back?

There must be a worm hole between yorkshire and largs:alien:
-
My cones seem to teleport themselves into the back of my vehicle as i pass them and then teleport out again, god knows where to. Maybe SWB's yard.

why not have a word with the farmer , see if he'll come down with a loader then you can just lift the butt ends clear of the bank.

Is it just me or does this saw look like a copy of one of the echo saws?

6 month work placement needed around west yorkshire
penfold replied to Slinger's topic in Employment
Is he still doing stuff on his pole lathe? Is that horrible plastic tree still in the workshop? -
also you'd be down a chainsaw if anything went wrong with any of the others and a tirfor is quite a precision tool, you would be able to hold pieces in place whilst they were lifted to clear the bank.

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

Could that be the whole point of this, jobs for the boys?

Anyone want to do recreational/practice climbing Leeds/York area?

Your cheque for silence is in the post dean. -
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:

Who, us men of the north or our brethren across the pond? Anyway most of the people down your way drink apple juice:001_tongue:
-
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:

Oversized tyres and trip computer inaccuracies
penfold replied to Steve Bullman's topic in General chat
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%!!
