Stretch Air are indeed the Daddy, but they are stupidly priced. Hiflex are comfy and light but disintegrate when you look at them funny. Oregon Waiupos (sp) are worth a look, get a size larger than norm because they are quite form fitting! As always, try some on before you buy if possible. Search option has over a billion threads on trousers now!

Deano and David Goss - You're better off playing the long game in the end. And yes, I've done worse in the past....

Ha ha. 'Snap'!

How will you know when it's blunt?

Anyone had anything to do with the removal of bees?
Mark Bolam replied to _tc's topic in General chat
Might be worth ringing a beekeeper first. They may offer to relocate them for you (question of moving the queen). Just for good karma, like. -
More publicity would probably make it worse. You aren't exactly dealing with rational people here. Innit.

Spade, mattock, axe, sweat.

Argos do a 2 man pop-up for £26. My next show purchase. The bastard mice ate my last tent in the winter!

Catch 22 gaining experience but no-one will employ you!
Mark Bolam replied to 656solo's topic in General chat
You would only be driving the HGV to and from site mate. You would be working your arse off for the hours in between - it takes a lot of graft to fill an HGV! -
And definately not in need of a reduction....

Your HGV ticket is the key here I think. The market is flooded with climbers, but not so many lads can drive the big stuff. Good luck with it mate, and as Andy says, you could do a bit of agency driving to keep you afloat (just not at night eh?). -
No messing with the Beech there Tom. Like it.
-
Stevie did you descend from there by walking down your brash pile?
-
Sad. Took a few cherries down in a park in Ramsgate with Rob Broadley last year that had been killed by 'the big dog small cock' brigade. It's not the dogs that need shooting Deano....

Big tree. I see it took a sheet of bark off that lump where it hit the Spaniel.
-
Hardcore! I agree that spikes can make you lazy, and I enjoy swinging around much more without them. Sometimes I'd just be stuck without them though.
-
I hear ya about the crown breakdown Matt, but watching someone take a stem down without spikes is like watching soft porn. It's just wrong.
-
Is it Stevie Blair getting out of his hot tub?
-
Agreed. Loved the head coming over.
-
Can you post what they are when you find out mate? I tried to get some BF Goodrich AT's for my Transit this winter and they don't do them in the right size.
-
What a gem of a thread! Took me a whole bottle of Bulmers to read it.
-
My thoughts exactly Barrington. I think Peter made a very valid point about what is happening to the timber as well. If big lumps can be craned directly onto timber wagons or trailers, crane work can be very fast. Then some other poor sod has to do the ringing up at the yard as a 'reward' for an early finish....
-
Dealing with 20' of heavy timber manually doesn't sound like it would take a couple of blokes more than a day, so it would be cheaper than a day rate for a crane, unless it is awkward. What do I know though. I'm fairly ininexperienced....

Deano, your idea is excellent. Your groundies idea, however, is utterly piss-potical. I take it it was Luke?
