    bad news

    theres nothing wrong with the 12 week courses, the 1 week, probabally yes. just a terrible accident, accidents happen, sad fact of life
  3. the three saws and spikes are worth near on a grand if in good nick! its a bloody good deal stockers!
  4. electric warn, around 12.000lb-most powerfull for that sized truck without being stupid! get a fabricator to make you up a mounting plate, or aftermarket winch bullbar
  5. BLUE SKY!!!!!!! just out of intrest, do you guys use a cherry picker where-ever possible??
  6. where abouts are you mate?? were based at cambridge, always handy to have another cord tip site!
  7. isnt that what, in a round about sort of way is what the arb assosiation approved contractor was supposed to be about? (untill they got too wrapped up in fairy stuff like 'your eyewash is out of date, you havent got a COSHH for your computers ink cartridge' instead of focussing on the quality of work to which the company can produce) ???
  8. after giving it a good clean, you tried re-tuning the carb? guess you cleaned the carb wire filter too? (i brought a ms460 off ebay for £50 as a dodgy runner a few months back, took it home cleaned the crap outa the wire filter i the carb, and now got a cracking saw!)
  9. Josh is DROOOOOOOOLLLLLIIIINNNNG
  10. few weeks back, i was up a lime, knocking deadwood out sometimes unintntionally as i climbed, saw my groundie with no helmet, shouted down to him to get it, so he walks under the tree to the truck, gets helmet, walks back under tree and just as he raises his helmet, bang clouted on the head, split it wide open! bit of good fortune-working near opposite addenbrookes A+E! diddnt knock any sence into him though
  11. yep, id second raywood ash (aka claret ash)-got a beautifull row of street trees in cambridge, colours amazing right now, will get a photo on way home tommorrow. and yep, theyre very brittle, rip outs every half decent wind
  12. wouldnt nutrients to the soil start reversing the effects of any toxins? tree doesnt look like its on its last legs so anything that we can offer the yew to help it on its way to recovery has to be worth a shot??? sorry for daft assumptions, but havnt any real knowledge it this area:sad:
  13. surely its not going to do any harm decompacting and nourishing?? (i know nothing about this but would like to learn as and when!)
  14. thats out of order tim, i remember youve already brought this up in a previous post on working positions, so you will knom what people on this forum think, theres no need to open the topic up again, especially not on someone elses post
  15. hey nuggsy, try wikipedia for stuf on trees, can be really helpfull
  16. what else would you do if you were gonna collide with 32gram of lead lined up infront of you?!?!?!

    google images!
  18. atleast you then got an excuse when you miss
  19. learn from the old dogs, not just college
  20. first stand or walk shoot yesterday first drive was crap tbh-farmer had lifted the beat on friday so no birds! rest of the day was good, not a huge amount about, had to be choosey, fair few squeakers-a few were shot had a few cracking screamers stop dead, so was well chuffed:) plenty of drink through the day, then far too much at the dinner, no bad head today though! hows everyone elses season going???
  21. i know a few lads in cork, one runs his own tree firm, if you need a starting hand over there sure theyd set you up, like prev' post said-go for the craic, the irish are up for one hell of a good time, as for the soft southern accent on the girls (drooling) seriously tempted to move there just for them:)
  22. expect to see a few on saturday, first shoot of the season
  23. hedge cutting mewps are the way to go:)
  24. just passed my HGV C2 and think i remember from the theory its any vehicle with the capability of exceeding 3.5 tonnes needs a tacho. also if youve got a post 97 driving licence (tow no-more than 750kgs) and are driving anything with a tow-bar fitted that is rated over 750kgs, even with no-trailer, you can be done for "potential to exceed your permissable weight" what a load of BS, 99% of vehicles on the road have the potential to do more than 70mph, but you dont get done for "potential speeding" ! countrys going down the pan, FAST
  25. me and my manager couldnt stop laughing when we saw it at the show, gave the poor old salesman a bit of a hard time about it then again, i am young without any aches and pains to worry about. . . yet
