  1. I hear that mate. I did a dead one once and when I got down my groundie looked like he’d been in a fight with a lion.
  2. If you put your fag down your cutting and holding technique would probably improve.
  3. I would be very careful about claiming, unless everything is brand new. My mate got done for about £40k’s worth and received £8k on the payout because a lot of it was over a year old. I only insure my big kit now for this reason. Mine went up when my chipper got nicked, but not as much as I feared. I did get shorted £5k on the value on my so called ‘new for old’ policy. You need a lot more than a container for future security. The dids can open them in seconds.
  4. Peds you’ve removed the chain brake. I’m sorry, but I’ve reported you to the HSE.
  5. Phew! For a minute there a whole load of us were in danger of being deported to Rwanda!
  6. That’s easy, just stick a 3t digger and attachments on a plant trailer like everyone else does. Hey presto! 4000kg trailer.
  7. I did manage to recover a still from that event.
  8. Why would you want to start a company in an industry you are totally clueless about?
  9. After she got her breath back Steve, obviously….
  10. Would an adapter bit work?
  11. Absolutely. Did I tell you I’m getting a Kenworth 30t truck next?
  12. I reckon a lot of the lumbersexual types driving double cab trucks wouldn’t be seen dead in any kind of van. I think it’s less about tax breaks and more about image.
  13. Of course, but if the oak dies they’ll cop it anyway won’t they? I know they could relocate, but if OPM really gets a grip they won’t have anywhere to relocate to?
  14. I bought that on cassette single thanks to Wrighty!
  15. Sadly I think we’ve put ourselves in a position where that is practically impossible.
  16. Huge loss. So many great memories.
  17. Literally just seen it this minute Mick. Very sad, he was a big part of my life for over 40 years. 69, no age at all. RIP Steve, thanks for the tunes, the laughs and the memories.
  18. Why on earth would you not get it sprayed?
  19. No, because that would be cheaper, and we can’t have that, can we?
  20. Just kidding Matty! I’d rather turn my saw onto myself.
  21. Only £179 too. I’ve just ordered a couple.
  22. They are currently classed as commercial if the payload is over a tonne. A lot are used as ponce-mobiles though. You can tell my Transit is a genuine commercial vehicle from the smell of the cab.
  23. The trick is to use it regularly Dan, before the buildup gets too bad. Some of my retired Zubats look like ‘ninja stealth mode special edition’ models, in matt black.
