Sounds good, it depends the price and how many days i would need to get a flight down if it was in London, would be ideal if got one closer to home. Wonder if the workshop would qualify for isa ceu's? as i need some. cheers for the interest though guys, high scale seen your splices on another thread they look great, how did you learn?

There is a shogun round here that has PI5T AF on it, good for our trade after your soaked,hit another nail and then the chipper breaks.... I may need to translate that for those not Scottish

Is there any workshops to attend or good books to buy to learn how to splice? always something i have wanted to learn, like most i got taught to splice 3 strand on my first climbing course, never use it now of course but always liked the satisfaction of splicing would like to spend some time learning on modern rope. thanks

I hourly rate them to get my total price then add 50% as there is always more than you first thought, its easy to under price hedges and be there an extra few hours.

the multicars look good, you would think the 1.9 engine would be a bit gutless though, theirs a company that do alot of council gritting in the winter here have two crewcab units with gritters running off a pto i often wondered if they would run a chipper, look cool units.

his may help mate http://hcd2.bupa.co.uk/fact_sheets/html/tennis_elbow.html if you understand what you have you can start to repair it, try and get the doctor to get you an mri scan to id the extent of the damage, apply ice if its swollen then keep it warm to get the blood through it so as the healing can begin. but rest it from heavy work but keep it active to encourage blood flow.

Thats brilliant !! I had my twins when they were 3 draw small faces on my BMW M5 with a stone, then came in to the house shouting "daddy,daddy see this" showing me what they had done!! i just laughed and praised them for the picture being the likeness of me:biggrin:

Yes same here work is slow, have work in from mid jan to end of feb so thats good so just chilling and spending time with my family. Money comes and goes guys and ten years will pass in the blink of an eye so i would not stress the fact that work/money is tight, try not to focus on the negative and stop for a second and think what you have got. If you woke up this morning healthy had people that respect and love you, you are a very wealthy person.

This is so true, if you park an engine up it will start to deteriorate, keep it serviced and working it will last alot longer. Im 42 and keep active with some sort of manual task every day(whether it is climbing,dragging,felling/stacking or digging) i also train every night, and if competing will train in the morning as well before work. Dont give up on you body or it will give up on you. -
i got hit by a can of beans that an old women threw from her bag of shopping whilst shouting " your killing the birds homes" i was removing a conifer, groundie was in stitches.
