  1. Baffled me as well Mick, makes perfect sense now. I've had a 25" on the 660 for a long time, been ages since I had to get the 36" out of the workshop. That said, we aren't really set up to do big trees, but how often do they come along anyway?
  2. I live in the country. We have virtually no gun crime, even though we all have guns. Perhaps they should build more fields and woods in towns?
  3. Does the radio still work though? Mine doesn't. Turned out my lass had vanaerial disease.
  4. Leaded of course. Slave kids don't run properly on healthy stuff.
  5. It's powered by Latvian orphans pedalling like you wouldn't believe. For thicker stuff you have to feed them Haribo.
  6. 30/31 and C1+E test will get your foot in the door quickest.
  7. Hahaha! No one will ever cap that mate! If only I had a vid.
  8. I meant I doubt anyone could beat that setup, then I remembered this isn't a big dick contest! I've shot since I was 9 on air rifles, then the usual progression through shotguns, .22's etc. I was obsessed with ballistics as a kid, and something I'll get back into one day. Working Dutchie will do me for now. If you get any 1200yrd retrieves give me a buzz!
  9. I had figured that one mate! My big bro has been bent over in the past because he's a left hooker. Some weapon there, seriously impressive. You've probably killed this thread though!
  10. Why did you get a left hooker, was it cheaper? And wasn't it risky shooting that 10p on Jons buttock? Is it better than a BSA Meteor?
  11. How?!!!!! I'll get me coat....
  12. 400 years old my arse. America is only 239 years old, so you're well out.
  13. Stunt fell gone begging there Hodge.
  14. What's all this agreeing with each other about the price bollocks? It's not on.
  15. That's a fair comment. I have a Transit.
  16. Hahaha! It is pretty neat Dan. I should get one to clutter up my climbing bag even more.
  17. Knowing my luck it would come zipping back and hit me straight in the nuts.
  18. See that? The input from my tree brothers keeps on, regardless of our differences in looks or speech. Great pics Brendan, which do you prefer for chogging?
  19. I do think the head of the FC in the '50's had a tree book with more than a few pages missing.
  20. See that? People from totally different creeds and cultures giving up their own time and experience to help each other with vital information. Thanks Richie, I'll do the same for you one day mate.
  21. You rarely need any of that old bollocks. Put the saw down, put both hands on the chog and say 'RAAAAAAAARRRRRRGGGGHHHH!' as loud as you can while pushing. If you're Scottish, Irish, Antipodean, American, Exotic or Welsh it's probably a different word?
  22. Policemen investigating thefts.
