Just wondered how all the lads who only ever wear a t-shirt because they work so hard have been getting on this week? Get some pics up!

You’ve jumped the gun a bit setting up on your own. £94 a day PAYE is about where it’s at with your experience, that’s just the way it is. A 12 hour day for that, though, is a pure piss take. Try and find a better company.

Whoops! Good heads-up. Glad you’re ok.

Bad down here in Kent. Made it in to work, like.

Pro tip that Felix, they don't get nicked as much!

Hi Paul, The property owner in question is a multi-millionaire, and my mate is a posho farmer land agent who handles matters like this for him. Arguing the toss on this one is above my pay grade! So is the job these days, I'm happy just to find him some decent firms who will quote on it when the time comes.

? No news on the ownership issue. ’These things take time’, as Morrissey once said.

Jesus fellas we’re not even snowed in yet! What will it be like when cabin fever sets in?

Chuffed to bits I heard.

Clearly....

Jesus, the chain has been going backwards for 6 years! That explains quite a lot, actually.

Great vid, love it!

Spots!

Well played Scotland, deserved win. Owens may have been a bit harsh, but he simply spits things that no other human would.

Ageist!

Hit me with it Dempsey!

Good thread, this. An ageists dream!

Husky 351. Good saw I think, but I didn’t know enough then to get the best out of it.

Most on here have a lot of respect for ex-forces lads, and they tend to make the move into this game easier than most. Might be the beastings and the working in gash weather training! Good advice on saws already, PPE and climbing kit definitely a ‘try before you buy’ situation if you can. We’re all different. Or start with Husky bib and brace trousers and Stihl brown boots like I did, then every upgrade will be luxury! Good luck with it, let us know how you go.

Thanks Woodworks. This is for a level, nomal lawn. I know I'd have to leave the cut a bit a bit longer, but would still want to go as short as possible, if that makes sense. Cutting twice a week at the height of the season wouldn't be a problem at all, it's a quick job.

Has anyone got any experience of the Stiga Multiclip, in particular the entry level 47 model. It's not for commercial use, just my own smallish lawn. My old cheapo will probably need replacing this season, and I fancy the idea of no collection and extra nourishment for the grass, but I'm slightly concerned about the finish, which looks crap on all the vids I've seen.

Sadly, it will probably never change. The Yanks just can’t seem to grasp that every country with tight gun control is doing somewhat better on the mass shootings front than they are. They are like a small child putting their fingers in their ears and going ‘raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh’.

Absolutely. I would have been gunned down several times in 1980 alone. Spotty Ridley whacked me with a cricket bat once! I bloody deserved it, mind.

My brother in law lives in Oz. Workers get a certain amount of sick days without any penalty. It's considered the norm for people to use all of them.
