  1. My new toy for quoting in and doing the woodland work:
  2. But then you have a job for life managing the regrowth every few years ;)
  3. Get tweeting! I read the other day these big companies have people who monitor twitter etc. I cant remember the details but someone tweeted about a problem and it was sorted straight away as the company didn't want to get bad tweets!
  4. Scotsman at the pearly gates A Scotsman appeared before St. Peter at the Pearly Gates. "Have you ever done anything in your life of particular merit?", Saint Peter asked. "Well, I can think of one thing", the Scotsman replied. "On a trip to the outskirts of Glasgow , I came upon a gang of bikers who were threatening a young woman. I asked them to leave her alone but they wouldn't listen. So, I approached the largest and most tattooed biker and smacked him in the face, kicked his bike over, ripped out his nose ring, and threw it on the ground. I yelled, 'Now, back off or I'll kick the s - - t out of all of you!' " St. Peter was impressed, "When did this happen?" "A couple of minutes ago."
  5. The Barber’s Chair Tony Blair and David Cameron somehow ended up at the same barber shop. As they sat there, each being worked on by a different barber, not a word was spoken. The barbers were both afraid to start a conversation, for fear it would turn to politics. As the barbers finished their shaves, the one who had Blair in his chair reached for the aftershave. Blair was quick to stop him, jokingly saying, “No thanks, my wife Cherie will smell that and think I’ve been in a brothel”. The second barber turned to Cameron and said, “How about you Mr Cameron?” Cameron replied, “Go ahead – my wife doesn’t know what the inside of a brothel smells like”.
  6. I don't seem to be able to lose the signature below. Been in to settings and art signature to none but still get the one below coming up. I'm on the new Arbtalk app on a Galaxy S3. Just checked the same thing on Tapatalk Arbtalk and it was okay. Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
  7. Can't see it on my mobile Ian
  8. Go to http://www.gov.uk all you need to know about employee rights and contracts of employment on there.
  9. Hi Jonny I'll text you about picking up my chipper and 088 on sat morning:thumbup: Cheers.... Al
  10. The OP has already clarified the price is for just one operative that can cover all the roles (im guessing not at the same time though)
  11. Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App what's an IPL?
  12. Did you stop taking your medication Silky?
  13. Typical, just bought 4 packs of stones and a grinder. Didn't know about the 10% discount either:rolleyes: Ah well, c'est last vie!
  14. Waiting for delivery of mine to sort out all the 088 chains that have been mullered. Only went for the small handheld one though.
  15. The nightmare starts before even getting your site - sorting out all the parking suspensions! Working out what needs to be suspended, how many spaces for a days work, giving 10 days notice to Westminster and then it pours with rain so all has to be done again. Or you get to site and there's still cars in the way because people ignored the signs or are on holiday, so you have to wait for the lifting lorry to arrive.... Glad I don't do this anymore as well!!
  16. I would check your fuel mix when that happens:eek:
  17. Cyclists fault. If you wanted to be sure every branch fell within the work site, you'd have to cone off the whole road. In the pressures of commercial council contracts there will always be one branch that goes awry somewhere. Anyway, it's 50 points for a cyclist (sorry Silky!) .
  18. Maybe he's not. Hucks probably only done 5 days work in the last year, hence why he is on the 5-2 diet. :p:D
  19. I'll deliver as many cubes as you want at £160 each:thumbup:
  20. You can apply to join the flat rate scheme if your turnover is £150,000.00 or less excluding vat. Once your turnover exceeds £230,000.00 including the vat you have to leave. I've been on the scheme for about 4 years now, and pay less vat each quarter than I did when on the normal scheme. I use the rate for forestry & fishing which is 10.5%, (there is a 1% discount in your first year).
  21. Mate of mine lives near Yarcombe and has similar snowy photos on his Facebook page. You certainly had some snow!
