    Truth. All the bollocks we’ve had to put up is because houses have been built way to close to some really nice TPO trees. But it’s always the trees fault….

    Two intercontinental moves and a couple of labs later eh Herr Schimidt? We will have beers together very soon my friend.

    I used to use Sadolin Clearcoat on my old house, and that seemed to last quite well, but was quite pricey.

    Girth every time, just use strong enough slings.

    We work on loads of TPO trees in private gardens.

    Are those rears fixed together?

    Why would you still use a flying capstan?

    Red all day Pete. The way I see it is white on road and red off.

    That’s how I see it. A loader as a base unit makes an expensive splitter! You can buy a decent splitter with a petrol donkey engine for about £1.5k. Or even a hobby 7t one like mine for a few hundred, but that still does about 50m3/year.

    @doobin has one I think.

    Now that would be worth watching!

    He is a bit of a nause though, isn’t he?

    The customer thinking he knows what’s best for the tree, and is always right, is a genuine gripe. ’I want my Birch pollarded, Fat John from the golf club, who works in IT, said it was the best thing for it. Also, setting up a tree business with literally zero knowledge about trees, saws, climbing or cutting has always struck me as a bit backward.

    He does make a few valid points.

    My personal views on immigration make Hitler look like Corbyn. The reason I’m in Lineker’s camp on this is that he deserves an opinion. A personal opinion. If he’d spouted it on MOTD I think that would be wrong, but he didn’t. Chris Packham has been spouting his anti-field sports and farming shite for years, but where is his ‘ban’? It’s obvious the government have asked the BBC to intervene, and they have. Paedophile-loving corrupt twats, the lot of them.

    Anyone who says it’s never happened to them is a liar Andy. Funny how it stops after a while….

    There’s a definite knack to making sure Stihl caps are done up correctly, you just need to learn it. Don’t overfill with oil either.

    We’re saved! BBC have seen sense at last.

    What he’s saying Eggs is that they have come through loads of ‘safe’ countries before they get here. They’re safe, there’s no need to travel on to here. That’s the genuine refugees. The Albanians I would just machine gun in the Channel.

    Are you saying I’ve got shit hair, retired before 30 due to injury, and laugh at all kinds of shite that isn’t actually funny? While you’re the bitter, taciturn, hardened old bastard that hates a lot of what football has become? Fair do’s I suppose. I’ve just done some quick maths on the label I ripped off a bottle of red, and I can live with 70/30.

    I would love it if you would step up Mick, love it! I could partner you and play the nice guy. We would split the £1.75m salary.
