Furious speed mate!
-
A predominately outside and varied work life. How has yours been?
Mark Bolam replied to Baldbloke's topic in The Lounge
That’s good Mick. When do you start? -
Cheers for the heads-up mate.
-
Went for the Notch in the end. Pricey, but it’s bloody brilliant. Tends right from the ground with no weight, and no aggressive teeth to pick your rope. Really smooth, no kick out and easy on and off. Winner.

I agree totally Mick, and I was wrong about the client being a bell end. The neighbour is. Turd polished Doobop, fair play. Tree needs felling.

No. There is only me and the lad next door. He definitely confirmed his neighbour was a twat. I struggled to hear him though. You know what it’s like when you’re running up a saw at 1am after boring it out and you can’t hear it properly because my three kids are still banging away on their drum kits.

I have a few hedges I have given up on after maintaining them for years. 2 carbon extensions on the combi unit trimming tops is fuckering on the shoulders. I’ve had to say unless we can have access next door for the next time I simply can’t do it. Neighbours are twats aren’t they? I asked the lad next door and he confirmed this.

Thousands of small Christmas trees FOC. They will love that shit.

I got sick of catching my nuts on the taps though.

Thanks mate.

Stubby speaks from experience. The last time he put a ladder up over a boundary line was in a trench in 1916.

The way he’s going about it. Anyone with a shred of decency would talk to the neighbour, rather than just getting a contractor in to eat a shit sandwich for him. I do hear you, and Gary. If the neighbour doesn’t want his tree touched he shouldn’t have planted one so close to the boundary (although I bet he didn’t plant it). He is probably a colossal bell end as well. Neighbour disputes are the bane of my life, although I like to think I’m pretty good at resolving them. I just flick my muffs down after pretending I’m Polish.

As above, but you won’t be able to climb the tree without the neighbours permission. MEWP job if it’s a big tree. And, yes, it will look shite. Your client sounds like a massive bell end.

I was joking Stu. Her chain is only long enough to get from the kitchen to the bedroom.
-
But my wife lives in Kent?
-
Am I still good for that pint though Kev?
-
Here you go mate. Sorted.
-
That’s the one Vesp, cheers.
-
That clip of the American General (?) with the speech about making your bed each morning is pretty good.
-
I’m sure it was Spike Hunter who had a similar tale, but Mrs. Merristwood-Pilkington-Smythe or whoever said ’Have you any idea who I am?’ To which he replied ’None whatsoever. Which means you aren’t half as important as you think you are.’ Flipped muffs down and cranked saw up. Priceless.

It doesn't really matter if you're motivated or not, we're all going to die in the end.

Good luck with the recovery mate, glad you made it. I've been boarding in the Alps and some of the terrain makes you consider your routes very, very carefully.
-
Jesus Peds! Are you off work then?
-
Check out the 'Prices for Council Tender' thread in Business Management mate. @Jamie Jones seems to have a particularly good handle on it.
-
? Made it too easy for you there Al!
