years ago we did 3 days work at some big posh house in the cotswolds, there was 5 of us there and we got 20quid each at the end of the job. He handed me 20quid through the window of the van as we were getting ready to go and I said thanks on behalf of all the lads and then he went and passed another note to each of the lads...nice bloke I've had more myself, but as a group I thought that was pretty cool.

nice vid tim, on the back cut you were using the silky, had you bored through parallel with the hinge first and then finished off with silky..?.looks like you were cutting from the inside out.

great work johnny, did you work with a spotter on that? because it is absolutely spot on.

nope, can't trump that, it is official poodles are gay...

As times are hard and some of us are feeling the pinch, I thought a little pick me up thread would be nice, because I'm nice you see...just to remind us of what the important things in life actually are. my thought of the day for today is entitled - Golf balls , pebbles, sand and coffee A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, wordlessly, he picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls. He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was. The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls. He then asked the students again if the jar was full they agreed it was. The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar . Of course, the sand filled up everything else. He asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded with a unanimous “yes.” The professor then produced two cups of coffee from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar, effectively filling the empty space between the sand. The students laughed. “Now,” said the professor, as the laughter subsided, “I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life. The golf balls are the important things- your God, family, your children, your health, your friends, and your favourite passions–things that if everything else was lost and only they remained your life would still be full. The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your house, and your car. The sand is everything else — the small stuff. If you put the sand into the jar first,” he continued, “there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls. The same goes for life. If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff, you will never have room for the things that are important to you. Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Play with your children. Take time to get medical checkups. Take your partner out to dinner. Play another 18. There will always be time to clean the house and fix the disposal.” Take care of the golf balls first — the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand.” One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the coffee represented. The professor smiled. “I’m glad you asked. It just goes to show you that no matter how full your life may seem, there’s always room for a couple of cups of coffee with a friend.”

err...me! seen that vid before and it is very impressive stuff, wouldn't catch me jumping off a perfectly good cliff though.

accomodation available..??.

that sounds such a cool job, best of luck getting it.

no I don't have an issue with it. You quoted my "good wage" comment in with your view on uncaring and uneducated arborists, even after reading that I didn't have an issue with it. You make a good point, if in a slightly patronising and condescending manner. the smilie on the end of the pedestal comment was meant to illustrate it's jovial, yet slightly cheeky intent. chill out.

out of interest, how high is the pedestal you have put yourself on..? imo they should be taken down and more suitable trees planted in their place, towns grow and keep growing, trees get cut back, what are you going to do? turn the work down?

cool, there is a video in the video section of some heli rigging in action, looks blustery

what are you planning on doing anyway? cliffside stuff is it?

don't like it personally but councils have alot of ground to cover so to speak, and if you are doing the work it's a good wage..

see limes like that all over the place mate.

I'd love to be able to say yes to this, but it's a no I'm afraid...

also, which is the quickest way to access the social groups.?? and do members of the group get notified when a topic is posted?

how tall mate? they do look a little worse for wear:001_tongue:
