  1. own hiab with timber grab, if the timbers too far away stick a chain on it and drag it out!
  2. apparantly i suffer from a form of dyslexia (had the tests) although i dont really notice it, im no retard (my opinion others may not agree) and im not dumb, but am daft! for me school was looking through rose tinted glasses (literally, i had rose tinted glasses as black on white text constantly goes out of focus or wobbles) the glasses have gone (so not cool) but the black on white problem still persists and if something doesnt intrest me, boy is it hard for me to concentrate-i mean its really really hard-most people wouldnt imagine how difficult concentrating can be, even now people dont realise how incredibly boring they, and some things can be-and just how tollerant im being (although sometimes i just cant be arsed with being as tolerant as i should) my advise to a tutor is to make things as intresting as possible-if doing a lecture on saw safety for example, stick some gorey images of injuries in-it'll focus the mind on the subject for a few minuites, have a laugh, regular breaks (10 min an hour pref) and this may be a bit controversial but swear! swearing emphasises things even writing this, a subject i am intrested in i noticed about 1/3 my time was looking out the window, at pictures on the wall, blah blah blah!
  3. ignore them mate, they just havnt had their womens mag fix today i'll ring you about that demo in next few weeks
  4. will do when got some horrible stuff to chip, see just how good it really is, if it is:001_tongue: one downer already, our trucks are nearly an identical colour to TW orange. . . yellow and grey just wont match!
  5. a day with a new chipper? for free? why not tommorrow morning, 7am, cambridge for dead elm fun?? or another time!
  6. fair enough, given the choice, wed also all be driving round in brand new unimogs, using whole tree chippers, and using ferraris to quote-that aint gonna happen! start the sales pitch and sell it to us! whats it got that its rivals havent? a name, a picture and a high price tag doesnt sell, and doesnt make me rush to the schliesings homepage!
  7. thats a bit steep craig, what makes it so special? does it drag and sned the branches? cut the tree down? run on air?
  8. i done a manual handeling course 4-5year ago-20KG close to body, but if youre lifting at full arms reach, and above head, it goes down to 5kg:scared1:
  9. obviously likes giving head
  10. someone say supermoto? another race day this week
  11. was going to get P900 SAW when had a tax rebate a few years ago for the hilux, £300 i think, went for a weekend in france with the girl i was seeing instead
  12. red sky at night, shepherds delight, red sky in the morning, shepherds warning but red sky at night-the hay stacks alight!
  13. combining the bazooka and castle?? id pay peter to use his crane to work at stupid o clock tommorrow morning instead of me and mine:001_tongue: nice flyer btw peter! id also buy australia
  14. anyone booked in at the daneway for camping? Dont forget the only reason you (and i) like the college idea john. . . horsey girls! you booked in there? want to book somewhere this weekend, but dont want to be on me own(ahhh) well, wouldnt mind being alone with the afore mentioned girls . . .
  15. nice thinking! may be using that idea tommorrow!
  16. whos doing what and staying where? any news on the camping? would be good if theres going to be a few staying at the same place to get disgracefully drunk together
  17. cause the saws blunt-a big saw like that should fly through that lime and sounds like the chains too tight! how long you been working for? keep it up, but loose the afore mentioned bad habits before you keep them! im with you about the gloves, never use them in the tree, and only when its below freezing will i wear them when felling
  18. crikey, best get myself some 20tonne rope then!
  19. i just have a distal and pully for my side strop-still get the one handed tending, but at a fraction of the cost
  20. "when a climber says let it run . . . . . . . . " it dont mean let go and run away either!
