  1. Where are you at the mo RM? edit - just finished 8th can of Stella
  2. Too funny. Where are are at the mo RM?
  3. Actually Steve, I better pack in the swearing in foreign languages, because Arbtalk is obviously reaching abroad already! Congratulations mate! Half a BILLION!
  4. Competition opportunity missed. Salaud. Merde.
  5. Slight derail, but did they ever catch that sicko who was mutilating horses in Hampshire years ago?
  6. Throttle rod snapped in my MS200T on Saturday during an Ash takedown. Sent to Gustharts in a nappy box on Tuesday (all I had handy), back inside a week ( Kent - Northumberland - Kent), all fixed including a missing screw I lost when I took it to bits myself. Great service again from Robert and the lads. Thank you.
  7. Same as BB, try NFU. They were very competitive with me, but stopped insuring me above 6m, so I moved. That would be some strimmer, mind.
  8. Er.... I think you'll find it was me they were on about Sorry mate. One day.
  9. It's getting scary mate. More surfing today leading back to my own comments on here. When are you buying out Google?
  10. Steve, I'm not even going to ask how you came about that....
  11. Laurent, Je suis education! Je visite un ville voisin Cahors bis a an avec mon famille. Au revoir ce soir!
  12. Like it, like it a lot! Jesus Lorry, they are some serious Armco scars! Will they T-cut out do you think? I hate pricks like that. Admits he nearly kills you then does a 180. Next thing he will have injurywankersrus.com chasing you because he can't get a hard on because of the accident you caused. Will give CIS a bell, thanks, forgot about them, but used to use them. I've a feeling they are another co. who only insure you if you have an existing policy of some kind with them?
  13. Good company, but if you pay monthly they use a finance co. who are utterly ruthless and charge you an extra £50 every time you fart. My premium with them went down on renewal, which was nice.
  14. A climber crown-raising Douglas Firs without using spikes is asking a fir bit (sorry). Especially cost effectively. A tracked MEWP with a 60' working height wouldn't be cheap either. Glad it's not my money!
  15. Noone has beaten NFU yet, so looks like their quote wasn't bad after all. Some of the gocomparemyarse.com people have been ringing asking why I didn't want to proceed with their quote? Er, because you were £300 more. Tough break on the M1 Lorry, glad you are alright mate. Tough one to prove if someone cuts in front of you, normally ends up knock for knock. Barrington, it is ruthless out there, so why don't these divs try dropping their prices instead of increasing them? Business 101.
  16. I find my reductions look so much more natural if if finish them off with a grind.
  17. Are you back in Kent yet mate? If you are, try and make Jonesies show this weekend. Quite a few Kent arbs get there and you could do a bit of networking. Where abouts in Oz were you?
  18. John Wayne had the right idea when it came to horse thieves....
  19. Bonjour Monsieur Bonhomme! My video was a little bit of fun, we are all a little jealous of your video! You did some fantastic work on a very big tree, and it was great to watch. Bienvenue a Arbtalk Laurent! Bon chance mon ami.
  20. That can't go unanswered....[ame=http://youtube.com/watch?v=4U54D0BtyL0]YouTube - ‪Tres cool conifer‬‏[/ame]
