Anywhere within 5 minutes of my house.

My reductions are usually followed by a grind Tone! My thoughts on reductions are fairly well known on this site. I am a big fan of the right tree in the right place. I do accept that reductions are absolutely necessary sometimes, and on these occasions I prefer to sub in decent practicioners like Rich rather than pollard/fell or cock it up myself. I have done some very shapely 25% rj's in previous years, and looking at them now think the tree would have been better left alone. I respect the true art of reduction massively, but will never be a fan of it. Good to see quality work mind. I physically wince when I drive past some of the 'reductions' I see on an all too regular basis.

Get in the back and shovel the chip up you lazy monkeys!

What's your poison Big Man?

Damn. I thought it was Northumbria police.

You should add this to your signwritten vehicles

Stevie I'm going to try that on a Buddlia stump with a French banger. -
Big Fell, where is the quote from at the bottom of your posts? It's driving me mad not being able to place it!

Rich is 6 inches taller than Chris, Tone. He did the top half.

"He isn't a man. He's a machine. And I should know. I created him." Name that film for a virtual pint.

Who's having the wood Moz? We got asked by several people today on Mick's job. 'I say, is this wood available?' 'Yep. £180 a load!' I asked one lass if the lawn was strewn with our £20 notes would she ask if she could have them? They all asked politely though, so that was returned with a couple of Micks business cards.

Good choice Rich. Just found this in the Stihl brochure - 'Congratulations and thanks for choosing the new generation Stihl MS441. The saw will require a running in period. For this, we suggest using it on a large Poplar in Kent, preferably whilst climbing. To retain your manufacturers warranty from Andreas Stihl and Co., no financial reward to yourself can be accepted during this very important running in period'. Happy running in.

No way am I going on the juice. Genital shrinkage is the last thing I can afford!

Sounds harsh! And what are 'doms'?

Cheers Mr. Bell, thats the same as the rack we use at the moment! Well impressed with the 104, thats about where I want to get, then pile on the fitness. Cheers mate.

Above to Rich.

Closer to 200 when I'm carrying you all day..... Press ups are brilliant, but I think they are more beneficial for conditioning than strength at my age. I've laid off them for now, until I reach my BP goals.

Stevie Wonder driving? Classic pie-munching shot in pic 3. What a great place to be working! There's idiots crashing into trees, and there's M&S idiots crashing into trees....

I could certainly do with getting rid of that from my truck, Rob. Well, the smell of it anyway....

Good post. I think we all agree that drowning is unacceptable, but I don't think the RSPCA have come out of this well at all. Shame, because they do do loads of good work, then blow it by going OTT and antagonising the sporting community. No true sportsman would cause an animal of any species intentional suffering.

Yep. 'Gone in 60 seconds' job. I reckon he knows he can nick this chipper easily, and wants to get shot quickly.

Good stuff coming in fellas. Triceps deffo give out first, may do dips between bench sessions, but I overtrained for years and am wary of that. Shoulder niggle here as well. Will also mix up the angles, been purely flat for ages. Robert, I want to look more like an eskimo/caveman with huge tits and not be able to walk properly. No mate, just for strength. When I can rep with 100kg I'll be happy just to maintain that and start beasting the cardio.

I'll give that one a try Mr. Baracus. Thanks!

Saves on boot leather mate!

Hadders, that was most helpful. I think. Jamie, flyes are for girls breasts. I don't shave my chest yet. Why would I add more plates myself, for Gods sake? That's what my minions are for. Do you think I may be going too far by having them feed me grapes, though?
