Had one guy try this on before. I had been told to go ahead with the removal only for him to go ballistic half way through because his wife had changed her mind. I was nice and polite at first but the more aggro he got the more annoyed I got. In the end I blew a fuse. The guy got a bit of a shock and calmed down straight away. We talked it over, the tree came out, he apologised, I apologised. Left him to deal with the wife. It's happened a couple of times with tenents too. Take the time to explain the situation to the owner but be careful they aren't trying to pull a swifty.

I only wash my hands usually once a day when I get home. They are nice and baby bum soft most of the time and I only have minor callousing. The wife is most jealous. I don't subscribe to all the hogwash about sanitising your hands. I reckon doing that is just a way to increase the possibility of getting a disease because your immune system gets weaker and what's the problem with a bit of pee on your hands? It's supposed to be sterile anyway. As for pain; I get pins and needles in both hands during the night and often wake up with dead arms. I thought it might be white finger or RSI but I've recently been told it could possibly be because of compression of the spine (something I've had for a couple of decades) which affects the nerves and muscles. I'm currently doing pilates to try and reverse the effects.

You fellas must be way behind us. We've had the new series of Deadliest catch finish a couple of months ago and we are currently into the second new series of Mythbusters. Mythbusters, in my opinion, is unmissable and yes, Kari is back looking trimmer than before (even after sprog) and mighty fine too. I watched the top 25 special over christmas with all the best explosions etc. Still reckon the best one yet was blowing up the cement mixer trying to remove hardened cement from the inside of the drum.

Turangi New Zealand. The bitch is 4 years old and we've just got the dog (complete doofus) who's 2. Both are great except around smaller dogs where she especially seems to go a bit bonkers.

Gotta say wired4smoke that girl of yours is a big dog. Fine specimen though. Thinking about upgrading the springs in the Disco to cope

Have to find me a bigger truck to take my two anywhere. One at a time is enough and the slobber takes weeks to clean up

Bit of a long way to travel for a shave me thinks.
-
No harm in trying. Always happy to be proved wrong if I get some improvement out of it. Not sure how I'm going to manage it though as I usually shave in the shower.

Hehe, big hooha here a few years ago about them being called one handed saws or top handled saws. There's still no legislation (as far as I know) about top handled saws not being able to be used one handed. Fair play to the operator though, he was fast as the proverbial of a well greased shovel.

But she hasn't even got a cleavage worth shouting about!!! And agreed; half of what I hear these days is just waffle. Very few can actually sing. As for xfactor, pop idol etc....nuff said.

Thank goodness for MySky. Pause at the start of the adverts, go and make a cuppa or check the latest threads on arbtalk, come back and forward through the ads. Fan bleedin tastic. Even better, record everything you want to watch and jsut skip ALL the ads.

Not my cup of tea music wise but the man has talent. How does someone like Katie Perry make it into the charts yet this guy is only a street performer?

Never heard of it before but I've developed a bit of a reoccuring cough recently despite giving up the smokes last year. Less of a smokers cough but quite "lungy" if you know what I mean. Though it was something to do with a nose oil I use for moisturizing the inside of my nasal passages. Somebody wnat to tell me more about this?

Sales TV for stuff like The Amdominizer, American religous TV, Masterchef, most of the rubbish on MTV like My daughter's sweet 16th etc; In fact, nearly all reality TV, Hyperactive American news.

It's even worse at interview stage. I was always told that you pitch for the interview in suit and tie unless you're told it's an informal or working interview. Now I may be old fashioned but I would expect at the very least for an interviewee to be smart casual. I had one guy show up in jandals, jogging pants with paint and holes in them and a singlet. He then proceeded to text and answer his incoming calls through the entire interview. He told me he was desperate for a job. Really?????

Pictures aren't brilliant I'm afraid but hopefully will improve once my new camera is up and running. Nothofagus dismantle. Two trees to come down and two to be trimmed up. Two of the trees leaning over a holiday home so called in the cavalry to make things easier. They had all the trees down and 90% chipped in just shy of 3 hours.

The bulk of my work is on two larger towns which are located 50 and 70 kms away respectively. I hardly ever get any work in my home town so I have to travel pretty much every day.
-
Seen enough UK natives tagging and peeing up war memorials etc to think we should look to our own back yard before denegrating others. What am I saying? I don't live in the UK anymore. -
If it's free and it's dry then it all burns. That's my theory anyway.

Use heat or petrol to remove them if there's nothing else available (according to Lofty Wiseman) and DEET as a bug repellant is pretty strong.

So like an eejit I didn't watch the whole vid thinking it was just another numpty cop trying to be the big I am as per usual. Having followed the thread I figured I'd better watch the rest of the vid just in case there's something I can use to get me out of a pickle sometime (something I frequently found myself in up until a couple of years ago) and I find the video is now private. Any reason as to why?

Glad you're OK and glad you learnt without too much serious damage. Had a groundy blow himself over a fence when I first started after he threw or tried to throw the contents of a jerry can onto a fire that was smouldering. Heard the boom from out on the street followed by a big black cloud. Ran round the back of the house to find the guy less his eyebrows and a good deal of hair picking himself off the floor. He used old sump oil after that.

Abroad covers quite a broad spectrum. Can you narrow it down somewhat or does he not care? Try Buy online and sell with NZ's #1 auction & classifieds site | Trade Me and look under jobs. Search through both arborist and tree.

Personally I would have sucked the sav and taken the ticket. Reckon old bill has a hard enough time doing his job without some little scrote like me making it worse for them. Having said that; you do get one or two that think they are a better person than you just because they have the badge. They seem to think that this entitles them to speak down to you or treat you like crap. Case in point, one cop here is currently on trial for police brutality on 5 different people. Just cos you're a cop doesn't make you a better person than me. Treat me with respect and I'll return the respect.

DON'T, under any circumstances, stick the stuff in the bath unless you want wife wrath to rain down upon thee.
