heres a simple one, probably nothing new, your leaf blower is like a portable air conditioning unit, so dont get hot and sweaty at work, just give each other blow jobs. haha

wise words

just keep tipping your woodchip in his front garden until they pay haha. As for interest and and all that, it must be clearly stated on your invoice, your terms of business, i think.

its only wet stuff, i dont know what the fuss is about. anyway im so slim and trim that I would have to stand still to get wet, hahaha just keep moving.

makes good wood for turning aswell. but I have heard a few horrific stories about stuff that has happened to people after they cut their 2nd Holly. Strange accidents exactly a week after and even wierder dissapearances hahahahaha, never heard such twaddle, it's YEW's that come with 30 years bad luck.

Hands up those who think this is a silly thread.

Typical lazy southern nancy boys attitude hahaha, the north / south racism continues.

so where do i get a waste carriers license from...?? or am I being stooopid

spose you could carry more staff aswell and probably some immigrants across the border.haha

all well and good but wheres the chip and logs gonna go????

I think they are rubbish and you should go back to teaching music in schools, the pay cheque will be far more frequent the pension is better and Kids need music. hahahaha Thats the best Joke reply Ive ever done. Seriously tho,, they are good but you didnt really pack your full time profession in for them did you???

I make GOOD coffee.

So in theory you are paid just to be there?? Kinda like a celebrity, i.e if you wanted the Pussycat Dolls to perform at your birthday party. How much would you charge to come round my house for a coffee??? haha:001_tongue:

I had an idea after reading through alot of threads and posts and noticing the passion we all have for the whole genre (or certain aspects at least), which made me realise that Im not alone in my constant quest for knowledge and just idle chat about trees and climbing trees. So for a laugh, For one night only, I think we should organise a get together exactly halfway down (or up) the country( check google maps for exact measurements) in a woodland or forest based public house setting and deliberatley .........NOT talk about anything tree related!!!!! "Impossible", I hear you cry. I think so too. In fact Im so bad at it that the opening lines of my wedding speech went along the lines of "I wont bore you too much because as you all know if I am allowed to talk for longer than 2 minutes I will drift off into something Tree related". So whos up for the challenge??? Disclaimer: this is just for fun and I dont intend on organising any such competition or meeting,there are no prizes up for grabs, theres probably no pub in a woodland directly in the centre of Britain, and in fact after Cannocks Chase I dont intend drifting south of the Humber Bridge till at least 2012 (far too many mincers.)hahahaha

In what other line of "work" apart from professional sports do you take photos of yourself working and then race home to enlarge them and print them out or upload them to Facebook. Can you imagine a builder saying "derek get a photo of me with this wheelbarrow up the scaffold" hahahahaha

mmm east??? That pretty much makes you the most likely to be interested in men. and the most likely to have an umbrella to hand should it start precipitating:001_tongue:hahahaha

I know that Hi-flex are the most underrated fashion garment of the century but come on.....haha. The money to get in on the gate was maybe steep but everyone complaining about it afterwards is not gonna achieve anything. You all mustve known how much it was, if it was such an issue why did anyone go. If no-one turned up then the organisers wouldve been red in the face, but we all came in our droves and spent more money whilst inside which made it (IMO) a success which only means next time it will be 15quid again (or more). That said 15 quid aint that much money really and I thoroughly enjoyed myself having missed it 2 years ago and been waiting patiently ever since. My only drawback was not taking enough cash with me on the day to benefit from the deals. The weather on friday was fantastic and the atmosphere was great, all stands I visited were extremely well presented and all staff friendly and chatty, making time for each customer. T'was a good day out all in all, nice surroundings aswell. Did anyone else play "spot the pikey vans " in the car park.

Yeah he used to do a job then say " well you can't see it from my house".

I dont believe you need to be a "businessman" to run a successful company, my accountant does it all. All I have to do is be fair with my prices and do a good job. Start with basic kit and build up as you go along. You dont need an 880 to top a row of conifers. haha Speak regularly with your acoountant and he will tell you what you can and cant spend on shiny kit. anyway its not shiny for long unless you polish it and that really is sad. IMO.

Always offer "Free Quotations" but then just add the cost of time and fuel into your quote. Job's a gud'un.

My grandad used to say "there is no such thing as bad weather, just bad clothing". Which is true. But he also used to say "if you cant fix it with a hammer, Then you need a bigger hammer". Taught me alot did the old fella. Miss him.

I agree, dont start cutting the old girl. Thats like force feeding a 98 yr old person drugs and injections, just give em a comfy bed to rest on. Shes in no pain. Just pledge that once a year you will go and find a nice spot to photograph her. and do so until either you or her cant anymore.

Exams etc, can put you in the right direction but the university of life teaches you sooooo much more.

been sunny in east yorkshire, haha. Needed the factor 15 and 4 litres of water every day. NOT. Luckily I have 5000 sq ft indoors so plenty of logging and maintenance got done.

its a bit "clean" tho. do you have to wipe your feet before you go in. hahaha
