  1. ive had that many times before My comment was a wynd up aimed at yvonne, yve and clarks are always good to me EVERYTIME i deal with them.
  2. oh well that tells me where i fit in then, i got nowt extra with my last order:crying: but there is a first time for everything:001_tt2: always great to deal with clarks.
  3. you can get one with a rigid plastic strip that stops your arm straightening, ive had both mine hurt really bad having been caught in arm bars and not tapping on seperate occasions (stupid but in the heat of a comp), i know its important to work and being self employed we have to earn BUT i still think if you cant take a couple of week off to help your body recover whats the point of working for yourself i also subscribe to the idea of the stone masons hammer syndrome, that its not the one hit that breaks the stone its the hundred before it!!! if you keep training/working it either lets go big time or alters the rest of your body and not in a good way. But thats just my opinion, i have lots of injuries now and i wish someone had told me to look after myself a bit better years ago, when i thought i was indestructable im learning now though and i try to address any ache or pain i get as soon as i can. take care guys
  4. Great if that works for you Dave, personally i have to rest and let my body repair if i dont it starts to affect other areas as my muscles start to compensate for the pain, this then leads to more problems.
  5. i dont know about edinburgh but oatridge college will do some they are about 15 mile away in west lothian or sibbald training thats were i do my first aid. Construction Plant Training Company, Scotland & UK • Sibbald Training
  6. it needs rest mate, its caused through repetive work or hyperextension, get the ice on it then get yourself a strap that keeps your arm slightly bent i ve had it a few times its not nice. pain is there to tell you its time to stop!!! you would not keep running the chipper if there was a grinding noise comeing from it would you? thinking its fine it wont get any worst in fact it will get better tree cutters are mad as a box of bees.
  7. 3 great bands [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hRnP5SODav4&feature=more_related]YouTube - Fugazi - 8 - 13 Songs - Margin Walker[/ame] [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qxiCp6uSvcI]YouTube - Big Black - Passing Complexion[/ame] [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=boUZqysP5go]YouTube - Jesus Lizard - Monkey Trick[/ame]
  8. haha we were on the look out for scrap but there was only £30 worth so we left it.
  9. a blood soaked cover
  10. mrs smiths back alley
  11. hehe aint that the truth mick thai oil is great but tends to burn me big time especially if you put it on when your pores are open after training. i find cryogel is very good comes in a rollon applicator so it keeps it off your hands Cryogel Pain Relieving Gel for Aches and Pains, Muscle Strains and Pain Relief at Fight Superstore
  12. Great band Early joke stuff was awesome ive seen them loads i still have the first album in vinyl but just checked when it came out 1980!!!!! i remember buying it seems like yesterday [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f42MLoLbnnQ&feature=related]YouTube - Killing Joke - The Wait[/ame]
  13. How fast do you need to go:confused1: At £1500 im sure its fine as long as it drives,steers and stops has a decent MOT it will pay for itself in a week!!! Looks ok to me:thumbup1:
  14. 303 miles!!! that one is really cool:thumbup: great find jonathan
  15. i was very disappointed mind you im not keen on rap so that kinda influenced my decision
  16. its because the inlet manifold looks like 4 bananas on the top of the engine. running gear must be like hens teeth for them now. cool though
  17. Ask questions, then question the answer if you dont understand it. As said stay off the phone. If you smoke and roll your own ,roll them the night before. If you are getting picked up in the van have the decency to wait outside the house ready to go, there is nothing that starts a day off poor than having to go to someones door to get them to work, especially if they come out with there shoes untied and one arm in there jacket.............. Your job will be to tidy, so tidy it, even if you think its clean and swept sweep it again. Stay safe it can be a good industry but it can be excellent with the right crew. good luck
  18. was it? i never read things correct i just glance and go, ive got the scars to prove it to.
  19. i never saw the last series but im sure they made reference to the last series so i would say its new.
  20. cheers Simon, man it was ripping through those stumps in the video
  21. thats an awesome looking grinder mate what teeth are on them?
  22. I know its a memorial tree and all that, but what is the price comparison between getting that done or buying and planting a large semi mature specimen. Simon did you use that thingy ma bob to measure the hight or is it in your office like it was in mine
  23. Anyone watching this on discovery? it was on last night some nice big bits of kit, not the same gung ho attitude of axe men they seem quite a well balanced crew, time will tell i supose.
  24. ooohh 32, far too young to check out. RIP
  25. get some heat on it from a oxy/acetalene torch then straighten it. lucky someone never ran into it.
