When we were at school, my mate got hammered on the coach trip to London and ended up going in a bottle and rolling down the Aisle towards the front. Teacher in charge was not impressed. We elevated him to God like status for that

Couple more from Trestno Arboretum near Dubrovnik.

First one, Croatian felling cut!!

Second, Press at the Olive house in the Arboretum

Third, Arboretum fountain and Statue

I've got some more to put on tomorrow!!!

Not the fine specimen in the foreground!!

Very sad news to hear. Best wishes to his Family.

cheers so far boys any ideas on swl

I've been looking through Old Sherril Catolouges, 2005 Master Cat has picture of said Capstan saying:-

"We no longer offer this outdated version"

If you can dig out a 2004 copy you should have some luck!!

Sounds good to me!!

How would you control it if it began to swing? The lenght of the thing could make it pendulum if you weren't really careful woundn't it? Not the sort of thing I'd fancy next to power cables!!

jeez, thats harsh, you hear so many horror stories about ag machinery....

My Grandad lost all the fingers on his right hand in a Combine. All he kept was the thumb. He carried on working for 30 old years. Good old boy!!

Best wishes to your Dad Foord...

What size is the tree? How big is big?? If you aren't happy about doing something, let the boss know!! He might call you a girl at the time, but He'll swear a lot more if you get up there and something goes wrong because you're flustered!!

Tell him that you want the 020 as well!!!

Just my opinion though!!

Good luck mate, Hope it all goes to plan!!!

I shall be going on Friday, I hope its the best day.

This will be my 1st APF.

It's handy to get the point across if you ever need to speak to someone about trees etc that doesn't speak you language. Thats what we were told when I was a student anyway.

I always thought that if I was in a foriegn country and NEEDED to converse with the locals, it probably wouldn't be about trees...

Ha ha ha! At least mine had a theme!!!!

Probably still playing on Arbtalk with slighty less hair and slightly more waist....

That last photo has to be the best Coronet cuts I've ever seen!!!

Also keep a bit of record of what you learn from it. This comes in handy in the future especially when you are going for interviews. Create some kind of professional development record

Definatley!! If its work experience, I would recommend having as many photos taken of you doing work to back up your report. Colleges love that!!

When you walk round with the Lecturer, take Camera phone pictures of the trees and change the names straight away. Then you can have a look on the train or whatever and you be suprised how much easier it is to remember them:001_smile:

Kings of Leon- Good God, My spelling does suffer after a few beers!!!

Judging by the photo, Gore/Horror!!!

Sorry to hear that mate. Hope all goes well for you and you sort something out soon:001_smile:!

Jesus Christ!!!

Looks nasty!! Well done for posting!!

Shows how quickly something serious can happen!!

Hope you recover soon mate!!!

Slightly off topic Steve but, any news on Arbtalk stickers, Tshirts etc?

I hate to say it, but an unconvincing win over Andora and beating a Croatian team that never really wanted to do anything other than kick lumps out of us, doesn't quite make us the World Beaters that the tabloids will undoubtedly label us now.......

How the hell does he work a saw with a hook?!?
