  1. when i did a two day course a few years back, the instructor told us that if we were going to do a lot of hedging to get a horsehide mitt as very little penetrates it but you can still use a billhook (yorkshire of course:001_tongue:) with ease and this was from somebody who has done hedging since he left school in the forties.
  2. could be repetitive stress from lifting all those heavy pint glasses:001_tongue: seriously though it could be the physical stress of the job as has been said already; just stop and think what your shoulder goes through in a day.
  3. there are a few round Billericay especially in the ingatestone area as i well know after having to walk to the local and back every night when i worked at Ingatestone hall:sneaky2:.
  4. the new tracked TW looks really nice and solidly engineered. Baz had at the tockwith depot a few months back and it looked sweet as ** then he told me the price:scared1:
  5. Just pulling your leg mick. Thats a beauty of a tree, first few foot will sort the wheat from the chaff or are you getting some ladders for the first bit?
  6. Which is which?
  7. you could try bayer timbrel. Local distributor for you is probably Sherriff Amenity services at Lymm http://www.sherriff-amenity.com
  8. Dean, there's always Brit-Tipp- http://www.brit-tipp.co.uk. I've got a cd-rom that I picked up at the 06 apf if you want to have a look at it.

    6 Nations

    the only things Italy did that helped us was playing mercato at 10 and having a scrum half who was at the best of times useless. Oh well at least my other team won today at croke park by being the better team on the field. (I support Ireland on the grounds that most of my forebears came from Ireland and also they're the only other nation in with a chance of winning the Title) smile

    6 Nations

    does anyone else think that englands performance in the second half could have been better, especially from the replacements. Pitbull's comment about the pushing was quite amusing: "What's the point of this pushing and shoving? If you're going to do something do it properly!" At least the chariot is now rolling sweetly and the leeds rhino's are on the charge as well after beating some unknown welsh team at headingley.
  14. Didn't jeremy clarkson visit a firm in jo'burg that did these when he did jeremy clarkson's motorworld?
  15. In Casino Royale have a look at the car park when bond arrives at the hotel in the carribean, the place is an advert for ford and what was then premier automotive group (LR,Jag, AML and volvo) vehicles.
  16. i was wondering when someone was going to go down that route:lol:
  17. we'll have to have a go on the 28 feb at bilton hall
  18. you know you want to dean!!
  19. tree removals by lobbit and leggit:scared1:
  20. sorry woodpicker, not at the moment slight shortage of funds.

  21. and seventeen pints!!
  22. pop into your local saddlers shop and get some chromed leather armlets made up to cover the length of your forearm, any decent saddler or cordwainer should be able to knock some up. I got a cover made for a yorkshire billhook made at my local saddlers, cost about £30.
  23. Make sure the top of that fence is either flat or properly sanded lads, don't want Ed getting splinters in his lips whilst he's chewing his ass:001_tongue:
  24. think you need the jackall in that last picture:001_smile:
  25. the only realistic part of full metal jacket is the Drill Sergeant, the bloke playing was an actual US marine drill instructor and he recently passed away. On the same subject Dale Dye is often credited as a technical adviser on films and stuff and he also gets to play the odd bit part eg he plays Tom Hanks' CO in saving private ryan as well as appearing in a lot of steven seagal films, often as his former co.
