  1. Working with Rich Rule today, very wet this afternoon. Me - North Face Goretex - wet wet wet. Rich - Stein climbing jacket - dry dry dry. Great gee up for this piece of kit. Under £50 ex-VAT. One will be mine.... Heavy reduction on a crack willow, went well, Rich slick as ever, client well chuffed. No pics yet 'cos my phone got so wet in my pocket it died!
  2. You're p***ing in the wind, mate. Micro chipper? Think someone on here has one....
  3. Gomtaro fan here, but may go back to Zubat. Bloody (new) Gomtaro keeps flying out of the scabbard when I need to run wearing my Sawpod (which I would not be without). Nearly gave myself the snip last week! Maybe I should stop running....
  4. Buy the lad a ladder John! Nice one. Are you forced to burn the arisings and all that malarky?
  5. I like to take a copy of the invoice they have sent back to me and return it with 'please sign and return' written on it. If they are really thick you can entertain yourself for weeks! Keeps our plucky posties in jobs as well!
  6. It will for Rich. Have you seen the length of his arms!
  7. Got a similar one to do with Rich on Thursday. The dead willow is much smaller, but the pond is much bigger! This one has been dead for 3 years, and I'm not keen on rigging it TBH. Sppplllaaaaassssshhhhhhhhh! Do you know how long that big boy had been dead?
  8. Top work Steve. Looked sod all in the first shot, then I ended up thinking mmmmmmm.........beast! Did you get any in the drink?
  9. It definately hit that gutter! Precision, Deano.
  10. Just bought my copy. Available in Tesco's. Worth £4.50 for the pull out alone. Awesome pics.
  11. All about work position Joe. And do you hand held cuts in a vertical not horizontal plane, so gravity won't goose you! Good luck mate.
  12. Be sure to post pics mate, so we can properly rip you to shreds from our armchairs!
  13. Jesus, bet that hurt mate. Hope it heals well for you. Wouldn't have happened to me. I can't reach them spikes on the top of fences.....
  14. Jesus! I can't RUN 50 ft in 13 seconds!
  15. Lovely spec. Gulp! How many times did you nip your keks on that razor wire? Rather you than me mate!
  16. Well worth a visit. Food's good, too.
  17. Good thread Dave. Never gob out a huge mouthfull of phlegm when your visor is down....
  18. Thanks for the offer mate. I'll let you know if I need it. Research trip a good idea. What are the trees like in Bangkok?
  19. You want to see me trying to tell a joke when I've had a few.....
  20. F*** the chipper, I'll come with you. My experiment would be lager/ouzo drinking coupled with disease catching. Oh to be back in Kavos in '93.....
  21. Thanks James. Why don't you take the overdraft, buy me the chipper, and I'll pay the overdraft off for you, honest. I can chuck in a money box, a pencil case and a plastic ruler with bank logo on it if that would help?
