  1. True Macca. I could stash it down my boxers, it could go undiscovered for months!
  2. I'll be Bobby Charlton....
  3. I'm on it Geoff. 10" bar with the 0.043 chain. Just need to sneak past divorce control why I need 2 toppers for each hand.
  4. Oh no, it's just that not everybody has physiques like you, me and Shutler to carry them off.
  5. They snag more because they pull apart! They are the devils work.
  6. I can actually remember owning that book Steve. He was canny with the arrows as well.
  7. How do you like it Wolter?
  8. Snagging. On everything. I'm talking Velcro front ones, btw, not wife-beaters.
  9. Bookies still going with Leicester. It's going to be closer than five points at the end, I reckon.
  10. I've got my mates to do this year Coletti, so this has got me thinking. How long felled was that piece? (Looks great by the way). I'd go with Danish oil as well, but it does stay tacky for a day or two. I thought I had loads of nice stuff up the yard, but it all looks pretty grim after the winter, and most of the bigger rings are halved before stacking. Next oak we fell between now and October will probably do, I think they want 18" or so, and descending. I was thinking of doing it in lieu of a gift, so £100 for someone you don't know wouldn't be out of order at all?
  11. Mick that would have been TV gold! I asked to meet Starsky and Hutch, the most popular request on the show that year ('78?). I think they chose 3 kids. David Soul turned up, Paul Michael Glaser didn't. Perhaps he'd heard a few rumours?
  12. Jonny that colour is also known as 'TPO Sunday Bandit'. Did you get the free silent electric saw that Skyland are offering with it? Tough call between Stihl and Husky for me. Paul slightly favours Stihl, but he's got bigger hands than me, so he's not much help. I think they'll chuck in a spare battery, but only if you don't want sweets or key rings. Life is always such a compromise.
  13. Kendo Nagasaki! Jimmy Savile wrestled professionally as well. Can't remember any of his bouts, like....
  14. Hahahaha! Do you remember some old dear beating Haystacks with her handbag?
  15. Vests are cheap and nasty, and a bloody nightmare when chipping!
  16. Big Daddy would have had Brock Lesnar.
  17. Nice one Spandit, cancel the court case!
  18. Wait till it flushes, you can tell by the leaves.
  19. Ok mate, didn't realise it was for roadside stuff. Be smart - be seen!
  20. Check out the Arborwear stuff, it's top notch. They do a personalised service. Not cheap, mind, but it's very comfy and it lasts. The hi vis stuff with black fronts doesn't get as minging either.
  21. Nice one. It just makes you much more employable mate. A fair few companies have big kit, and a lot of the younger lads can't tow more than 750kg.
  22. Bloke down the pub said.
  23. It's 9 points, a re-test, £3500 fine and 200 hours community service.
  24. Eventually managed to watch it on YouTube on my iPhone. I enjoyed it, it has that 'feel good' kind of vibe. 👍
