  1. Every now and then a group of us help a local charity out . Helping with deliveries of blankets and clothing to the homeless . I did the soup round the other day and met a guy who lost his home / business and wife because of bad payers . Absolute top guy who's well educated sadly though is now on the special brew . Just makes me think how lucky and fortunate some people are . Anybody else give there spare time for free ?
  2. Chicken on the bone chicken jumbo I sang this song looking at my toe . ha ha ha addicted
  3. Glad your back and well matey:001_smile: . Ive lost a few dogs over my lifetime and I cried when I buried them cos I,m an emotional guy . Feel for you
  4. We all know he loves his Fungi but I think he should stop eating it:biggrin:
  5. Rum n Coffee then onto Rum n coke and to fiinsh me off a straight Rum
  6. Stoke vs Wigan Match then back the local for Rum shots till NY
  7. cool
  8. Take one year out and travel the world because that's just how I see things . Yes I'd take the kids out of school for that period of time as the pros out weigh the cons .
  9. I'm sure the vast majority of you are aware of the fact that during this war a British company sold Ammunition to the Germans . War the biggest money maker of all time Ive served this country at home and abroad . The above sentence is a fact . I,m proud to be British .
  10. Thanks for your reply . Half an hour of an evening sounds good to me . Cheers Paul

  11. Aye up matey . You planted that tree yet ? Every now and then this subject crosses my mind . If so pics are the order of the day . Respect Paul Bell

  12. Hi Mick sorry to bother you as winters here and going out on my bike has been banned by the missus . I'd be much obliged if you could give me some tips on how to get the best use out of a turbo trainer recently bought for my hybrid bike . Ultimate aim fitter and less flab . I 've got the diet under control now .Regards Paul

  13. Sorry to put a damper on things but shoulder injurys / ligaments are notoriously difficult injuries to rehabilitate . The rotor cuff being in my opinion the worse . Good luck hope all goes well for ya . How did this occur ?
  14. Aye like Steve says double wrap . Big steel crabs are cool for swinging round limbs .
  15. Get some block paving sealant from B&Q and paint it on your problem roofing . Couple of coats job done
  16. Sometimes you have to trust your first instincts . When I quote for a job 99% of the time while I'm there I am also making a mental note of what the customer is saying ie Remove that conifer Oh and you can just do that little shrub if you want ? The later phrase would set my alarm bells ringing .You can generally get a feel for the awkward customer on the quote .
  17. I used to get cracked skin and my hands were always in a mess . Someone told me to rub Surgical spirit with castor oil into my hands . Well after your cuts have healed anyway . Since using this cheap product my hands have been a lot tougher and at £1.40 a bottle from the discount shops its a winner . I rub this stuff on Mon / Fri after work but don't use it on weekends .
  18. Both good machines although for a self employer tree worker with one groundie . I'd go for the 125 as said before you are forced to keep blades sharp. Which in turn reduces stress on bearings . The fact that I can push mine over gravel up driveways and over grass is excellent . The 125 is quite good on fuel but on a decent Connie job it gets through some juice . Sometimes because of its weight and size I can get it in some really tight spots . If I had the 150 legal or not I'd run it on red .Most tree gangs round here run theres on red and none have had any problems with PLOD
  19. I can see your point . I,ve had the big machines 935 vermeer and jobs were quicker . Although I had a few lads back then . I.ve downsized now and the TW 125 is right for me
  20. fuel costs are relayed to the customer aren't they ?
  21. Thats ace
  22. Do preprinted / headed quotes so all you have to do is fill in job spec/ price and pop through the door when your done . Saves time
  23. Cool glad they liked it . I got the naughty one
