  1. I’ve got a couple of these every year Stu. What you have done looks awful, but you have retained the head frame. Who is paying, him or her? Thought so....
  2. That's stupid, it's in foreign.
  3. They are probably chainsaw shorts.
  4. I've often wondered what they would be like. I've also had chains go slack when slashing away at loads of thin stems, it's just what happens. Same thing when smashing up brash in the back of the truck in the dark, dark days of either no chipper or broken chipper. The trick with hedges like this is to add a zero to the price and hope you don't get them.
  5. Only joking mate. Sounds like a win-win all round.
  6. Why not make it cost heavy for the landowner and very, very profitable for you? He's a landowner, he's bound to be loaded!
  7. There has to be a Michael Caine joke in there somewhere mate.
  8. We can only hope so.
  9. I thought that! I’ve worked there just up from Fixings Warehouse and on a good day you can see Dungeness and the windmills at Kent Corner.
  10. Cracking mate. Where’s that?
  11. It was just to alert Ben about the post Les.
  12. Marcus is a 17’ giant Andy. That’s his kindling you can see there.

    I got chased out of our local pool when I wore Speedo trunks. It was only when I got home I realised the ‘S’ had fallen off.

    It’s good that the saw is a professional model, and that they cater for lefties at last. Bloody clever, these 8 year olds.

    My wife bought some running shorts which are fine but took about 25 days to arrive. Posted directly from China!
  16. Cedar is a softwood?
  17. What rope are you on Paul? You may find 8mm cord will bind too much on thicker ropes.
  18. £242 is expensive, but a set of blades will have got through thousands and thousands of pounds worth of work before they are done. When you think about it they are the only part of a chipper that do the work, everything else is just there to let the blades do their job.
  19. That’s pretty much what I did. Unfortunately I got conned into thinking I liked it.
  20. Are we still talking about hitch cord?
