Sod's law and all that; just as I take a full time job with the local council the phone starts ringing off the hook. Had one mate wanted me for two months solid as he had $300K to spend by the end of June and needed men quick.

Re-live you childhood (only if you are over 35)

Which Tarzan? Johnny Weismuller or the cartoon version. How about the great egg and spoon race, It's a knockout and Why don't you. And for those who were old enough, Sally James on Tiswas? -

Choice thread, excellent photos. -
As above really. Check that the teeth are sharp and even. Make sure the bar isn't actually warped and that it is dressed properly. Then watch the operator to see how much force they use when cutting or boring. Ideally the saw should be doing all the work but with an 088 or something with a bigger bar the operator might have trouble holding it level and then having to use some force to try and compensate when the cut is off kilter.

And if we're doing the ancient photo thing I looked like this taken with my sister.

Grange Hill (the orginal version) Tucker Jenkins, Gripper Stebson, Roland followed by Tucker's luck on BBC2. Yeesh, that was a long long long time ago. -
I'm actually surprised he's allowed to use that kind of language on something like fleabay. I know on the kiwi version (trademe) you'd get booted off as a trader pretty quick sharpish as far as I'm aware if you started mouthing off like that. Surely this a place to keep somewhat of a civil tongue in your head?

Nice to see in this day and age somebody accepting that they made a bit of a booboo and getting it sorted. Too many outfits these days are quite happy to shift the blame wherever and whenever they can. Nice one for owning up guys
-
Nice to hear there's a happy outcome.

Bit late in the year for these fellas but nice to see them kicking around all the same. We sometimes get them in the house so they are released on the Lemon tree to go catch some nasties.

Ha! Look at all the AT addicts coming out of the woodwork cos they didn't get their daily fix (me included)

Meanwhile just suck it up and pay the price. We're quite happy to pay for bottled tap water and frivelous stuff we don't really need but gripe and moan about petrol and deisel prices. If we want it we'll pay for it regardless of the price. For the self employed there's the possibilty of passing on the cost to the customer. Everything else is going up in price (checked out your food bill recently) but fuel is an easy target. If anyone is to have the finger pointed at them it should be successive governments who insist on taxing the daylights out of us cos we're easy targets. I've said it before and I'll say it again; I drive a V8 that sucks the juice and I don't give a monkeys. I don't go out much, don't drink much and gave up the smokes and drugs sometime ago so rumbling around in my grunter is now my drug of choice regardless of the $130 it costs me to fill up only to get me round the block a couple of times.

Yup! Definately need that one translating

Me too. Got a nice Gum tree crying out for a closer look at those spikes.......................................................Joking guys. Harness looks nice though and I'd be keen to give it a blast.

So I can laugh heartily without offending you now then?

Don't assume just because the leaves brown off and drop that the tree is dead. They are quite capable of throwing new shoots out of the trunk and stems (along the entire length) during the next growing season. Happens quite often here to an avenue of them either side of the State Highway.

Had the same problem. Got through three different screens and no prices. Looks like some good kit from what I can see but they need to sort out the website.

Don't blow yourself a new foofoo valve. Used when trying to lift something way too heavy or pulling on something way too stuck. Usually followed by a small exertion fart from the person the statement is directed at. And you all know those little ones sneak out when your lifting too much.

Mate, if your lass is only slightly built I'd be getting her off to an arb supplier to try a few out. Nothng worse than getting something you think is right and finding out it rubs on the bones etc. Even a xs size harness could be damn uncomfortable. Better off making the time to let her try a few and get it right first time. And YOU KNOW she'll probably want the most expensive one in the shop, especially if she's anything like my missus. Not sure about highland forestry's choice and how comfortable that might be

Bog standard Nokia. Thought about a smart phone but don't use the features I have on this one so not much point. I wish I could get a phone with a decent size key pad though as with by big shaved chimp thumbs I end up hitting about 3 keys at once when I'm texting.
-
Hmmm expensive. Spill the beans bro, who was it?
-
Thought it was a bit of a joke meself until I did a bit of web searching. Couple of cars flipped over and their roofs caved in, the roof ripped right off pack and scab and place makers, a whole heap of trees toppled onto cars. It was actually worse than I thought.

Somewhat unusual for NZ to get one of these and nothing compared to those in the States. Unfortunately one person dead.
