    Ted doesn’t come on here any more, but @eggsarascal may have a contact for him.

    Bloody felt like it Mick! Luckily only missed the games I was less bothered about. Had time to cook a spag bol with the kids and now eating that with a bottle of rouge on the go and more than half an eye on Ronaldo v France.

    Awkward one today on a previously mullered oak that had to be mullered a lot more for ‘insurance reasons’. 3’ butt and big knuckle, but apparently only 60 years old. Planted by some old boy who now lives in one of the houses responsible for the mullering! Mainly rig-tastic day over 3 gardens, so it was pretty full on. Luckily all cord stayed on site.

    @eggsarascal are you still in touch with John? I think Mendip still is if you don’t have his number. Tirfors are great Will, but if it shits itself sideways they can’t keep up.

    Aye, same. Fair play Billhook.

    I think kids bring out the best in all of us Les. Our Beth is a twin as well!
  7. Mark Bolam
    That’s a brilliant achievement Les. Very well done to her. I’ll tell my Beth to pull her socks up. She’s only 6, mind.

    I blame his mother....

    It is a tonne though, right?

    Surely the plural of cock up is ‘total f*** up’? I shudder to think what your thoughts are on how to describe the plural of ‘balls up’ Peds!

    Bullet nicely dodged Mick.

    I wouldn’t worry about it. IMO they create complacency among hobby users and provide unrivalled shite grip on the saw. Avoid them.

    Cutter goatskin gloves are meant to be good. Skyland Equipment sell them.

    I get you. Loads of choice then, don’t waste money on chainsaw gloves! Engelbert Strauss do a great range of leather work gloves at good prices. My go-to’s for rough work were Dickies goatskin gloves. Not sure if you can still get them.
  15. Mark Bolam
    None. You don’t need them. Possibly the most bullshit thing ever invented.

    Looking good Doug, well done. 👍

    Racquet handle tape looks like.

    Some great comments. My mate bought a house down the road from me with a big TPO’d oak which dominates his garden. He knew it, and happily lives with it. The tree is 200+ years old. His neighbours whinge like buggery about it, in their 10 year old houses. The TO is pretty much ‘if you don’t like it, move’. He won’t allow any work, it doesn’t need any. I kind of agree with him.

    They won’t play on a Nokia 3210 mate.

    Crane day today on some manky roadside pops. Pub by 5. Luckily the rain held off and the wind didn’t get up too much.

    Mines not a full arb back Paddy, DC Transit with ali sides and 1/4 top. 2-up in the cab plus dog and tools goes 2850 on the bridge empty. All the 130 tippers I’ve seen have been single cabs.

    Of course.
