There’s got to be a ‘hip replacement’ gag in there somewhere Gary.
-
Definitely Wes. I owe Reg more than a few pints. I’ve often watched one of his vids the night before a monster takedown I’ve been dreading and you get to the job and it’s 50 foot baby piss.
-
Big top that Don. Even bigger thumb!
-
Using the word ‘groovy’.
-
Guilty on all counts Your Honour!
-
Policeman’s dads look younger than you.

To alter the shape of a tree with a linear crown reduction could be £600. To alter the morphology of a tree with the same linear crown reduction would be £1500. Does that sound about right Gary? -
Topping a multi-stemmed holm oak today. There is no other word for it, but for a very aware customer. Home in time for the hard part of the day.
-
I would bloody hope so!
-
No way. No time. It’s straight down to the cash point.
-
A lot will depend on the road, and the steepness of the hill. Can you get some pics?
-
I normally just do the top Mick.
-
I'll bare my arse in Burtons if the customer did not have a hand in it!
-
Or just get a job with the BBC.
-
That’s a scandalous accusation Git. 2-up in the cab + dog and tools and I’ve still got a whopping 650kg to play with. I reckon I’m good for a couple of cube of wet chip.

Oh the memories! Filth was so much easier before triple anal.
-
Good news for Arbtalk. Should get loads of new members. They’ll probably be a load of wankers, mind.
-
....which is bad news.
-
Errr.... Yes! ?
-
It’s certainly easier to stick more closely to spec with linear distances. As Steve pointed out though, someone should tell the trees!
-
Same. My usual guide is how light I’m feeling on the day.
-
The spec should have also allowed for a crown rebalance IMO.
-
Looks good from my house. Just shows how open to misinterpretation %'s can be. Or maybe they just didn't care.
-
I'm always getting them two mixed up!
-
Just remember to go outside now and then Steve. You only stopped climbing a few weeks ago.
