  1. free climb, one end, split tail, but always have a short 20m line if needs be put a poll up nuggsy
  2. ah ok, calm down i just diddnt find that clear!
  3. so let me get this right, you have 5 climbers on every job? plus groundies, so 1 per climber=10 people on site? are they split into teams on that job? what sort of work are you doing to be able to find that cost effective?
  4. imo its jumping through hoops having ticketed groundies, then if youre the one climbing, normally youre going to be the best climber on the team/company, how many have got groundies capable of climbing large trees, then possibly having to do a long limb-walk to get to the casualty, then being able to deal with the casualty at the end of the limb, posibly unconsious and being able to get them to the ground safely?? in the real world, its just not practicable
  5. ive got some, approx 4-5ft dia though, greenish. would have to check length though
  6. lol, diddnt do me any harm growing up and living there! infact my 3rd eye, bullet proof skin and superhuman strength has its advantages . . .
  7. bugger matty, sounds like youre having a rough old time
  8. why on earth do you carry round a DBH tape??? or is that for literally measuring any potential girlfriends DBH!
  9. ah, diddnt realise there were picture books too! 38/39 is easy as, theres a few on here recently passed, all seemed stunned by how un stressfull it turned out to be goodluck
  10. NPTC | Assignment Schedules cs38 has changed its name to climb trees and perform ariel rescue and thats £15.50 each cash or cheque, i dont mind
  11. you take a new girl out to a particular bar just because it so happens to be one street away from hte tree i forgot to do a VTA of last week whilst pruning street trees
  12. a good example of a well maintained tree, in a well maintained enviroment, with a species that responds well to its management imo its the right management for the right species considering its enviroment and owners needs cant keep on felling and replanting!
  13. whats youre opinion on how far down the cuts should go monkeyd? i try to aim for 6 ft of artificial fractures to try and avoid the bart simpson look which seems to be common round here!
  14. had the money-£100 biggest tip, and jam, and a 1st edition book called the highfield mole, double signed and dated, selling on amazon atm for £500-1150.00 but the best by far was last year, a 3 day job, really nice family-bacon butties, tea, hot daughter to flirt with ect, on the last day, the daughter came out as father was working, saying "dad told me to give this to you" gave us each a £20, thought nothing of it, went to buy some beers on way back to yard, pulled the note out my pocket-she had written her phone number, with a cute little message on it! still got it somewhere!
  15. people fat people-they take up too much room in shops people who tell you things for no apparant reason, that you really diddnt want to or need to know lazy people people who ask stupid questions people in general
  16. FFS 35 hours=a week off work, no doubt paying £100 - £200 per day for the training its the DVLA targeting those who will HAVE to do it to keep their lively hood, much like the police only targeting the law abiding looking like NZ, Aus, or USA will be having one more resident sooner than expected at this rate
  17. why not look at building youre own? or getting someone to build you one? i know theocus on here is doing just that (building it himself) with a small hiab off ebay to start with if it were me, id buy an appropiate trailer first off (you can use the trailer whilst you look for other bits) then the hiab/crane, all 2nd hand/ebay, collect some scrap metal, and build it myself, or if welding aint youre thing, hire a mobile one for the day, much more satisfying building/desinging youre own stuff let us know what ever way you go
