  1. Good thread Mick, i had a good one couple of weeks ago went and seen the job he was the landlord of said property, told me the spec he wanted as a new tenent was moving in soon ( i rushed the job through as he was a friend of a good mate of mine) shook hands on the price, done the job a few days later then phoned him up to tell him job was done. he replied " i never said go ahead with that job, im not paying you for something i did not want done!!!) then hung up, tried to to phone him back he had turned the phone off. So ive had a bit of chasing him and eventually got the money through my mate who paid the debt as he set the job up, he says he will recoup the money eventually he was very sorry for the hassle i recieved. Never had anyone do that before but im like most i bet and dont do an agreement contract.
  2. WOW, Mick were they using a knife and fork?!?!!
  3. looks cool mate, welcome to the forum:thumbup:
  4. Fantastic post littletree you will succeed with an attitude like that:congrats:
  5. hahahahah thats terrible, i wonder if the google staff are middle class white americans:001_rolleyes:
  6. dont take any notice of that mate he is trying to wynd you up. LOL = Lots Of Love, you will see it alot around here everyone likes each other.
  7. a great cause there simon, nice one for doing you bit for charity:thumbup: Although i cant help but think Golf is such a waste of a good walk and is slightly worst than football and football is a waste of a park that could have been planted with trees.
  8. there is a bedford with crane and grab in the classifieds on this site.
  9. Whats the reason mark? You just want to lift more to say you can or get sronger? Or are you going for the juiced up mongo look with the two invisible rolled up carpets under there arms. Have a read through this blog infact go through the full site see how strong this guy is and his training methods, good luck with it RossTraining.com Blog
  10. i still think you are buying an abused one at £3.5k for a crew cab, why does it have to be a crew cab is it for transporting men or tools in the back section? Because you will get a better buy going for a single cab and a toolbox fitted if you dont need the extra seats. Good luck though as this aint the best time to buy a pickup, as everyone selling knows it is going to earn its keep straight away so the prices tend to be a bit higher.
  11. sun cream,midge repellent and a waterproof jacket. along with piles of tools that i may use one day, as marks says crew cabs rock:biggrin:
  12. I would say the guys at SAC in Lanark or Chris White from cut above.
  13. yep this type of work can wreck a motor. IMO i think the secret is owner opperator as if it just "feels" not right you get it checked and fixed, this in turn stops the big bills as you tend to catch repairs before they escalate.
  14. Matty, thats a clean looking tranny, very very smart:thumbup1:
  15. i got my chipper from masons and have no complaints
  16. clutch will have more stress on it with more power in the engine, my mate just re-ajusted all the tappets on mine and adjusted the injection pump a bit that has given mine more power although it is a bit smokey when the revs are down in 5th but once you get going it clears.
  17. Here is a mental concept for the reason why Landscapers do tree work and tree surgeons do landscaping - It brings in money and they enjoy it. wow i know thats out there but it might be true i started out doing only trees got my nptc tickets then my isa cert arb but i kept getting asked to do landscaping work ( i had done lots of ground maintenance work in previous jobs) so i just do abit of both to the highest standard i can,i really enjoy the diversity of it all, i carry the proper insurance and have a large client base, i really dont see the problem that people have with this:confused1: If we are talking poor work standards that landscapers leave trees in well ive seen "professional arborists" leave trees in a terrible state and landscapers working to the BS3998 book. live and let live guys the more time you complain what others are doing the less time you are concentrating on your own goals.
  18. go through the general tree pictures thread there are hundreds in there
  19. WOW!! that will be loud how can that be legal, it must be i supose if its the council:confused1: i was stopped with the police whilst running a V8 in a capri with one box then straight through as they said it was too loud.
  20. is it noisy as it looks like they have done away with all the baffle boxes on the exhaust? Or is the exhaust split? great idea though
