  1. Not much chance of that she's 22stone, growls like a Rottweiller and I,ve had her micro-chipped.
  2. I'm gonna leave the wife in the Transit tonight with a horse blanket, no way will they chore it with her inside.
  3. I'd let it reshoot and train it into an arbor around the chair. Nice.
  4. You can walk or run in spuds, the cleats are nowhere near the ground. That clippety clop type shoe, cleat and pedal is for road cycling only, such as Look Keo. The very nature of mountain biking means you have to dismount at some point and run or get over obstacles
  5. Giddy Aunt I've just pictured that......Thank christ you aint cycling down to Jonesies do.
  6. You've just kissed goodbye to working you're hamstrings properly. You may not realise at the time but when cycling in spuds or any clip in pedal you pull up aswell as push down.
  7. Must be heartbreaking to sell all that gear due to lack of work. I feel sorry for him
  8. Just the regrowth Stevie. I did'nt show him how to refuel the 200 and had to come down three quarters through the climb, swore at myself all the way back up for not using my cambium saver.
  9. This mornings job with Rich my new groundie. Great worker, fantastic infact! We both train with the same cycle group, he overheard me offering someone else work and gave me his number. What a result he's a star.
  10. When I was a kid I used to go fishing with a proper boffin mate of mine. One day he scientifically worked out how to cross the stream on a fallen tree without falling in. Three steps across and he fell in, I laughed my tits off..... Its all about having 'the feel' for the job.
  11. Brilliant! Thanks for posting
  12. Buy it for the wife, fill it up with pop and sandwiches and send her out on a sarnie round.
  13. Yeah Ive got cards aswell for that but these are plastic.
  14. If I use Michael it would take alot of room and every time I looked at it I'd hear my mum calling me .............. Yeah at the mo I'm trying to pull in as much as poss so want to come across as good value.
  15. £45 for 500 Rupe, met an old aquaintance in a supermarket carpark and had to hurriedly write something down on a piece of card. Two days later delivered to my door receipt n all, good value I thought.
  16. Actually its 27yrs June just gone, I had to draw the line at 26 cos I dont want customers thinking that I'm getting too old for it. From now on its on 26yrs and no more.
  17. And waste valuable Arbtalk time answering emails lol.....Good point geoff, thanks.
  18. I,m crap at thinking of what to put on em. Got any ideas to improve on this before I go and order another 500 ?
  19. WTF I'll do it, yee ha.
  20. Sounds good. You gonna enter the climbing comp Dean?
  21. The idea keeps rolling around in my head, it would have to be the Friday though as I'll be hung over on the Sat.
  22. Rob, I know nothing about milling, is green timber any good ?
  23. I only have discs and cord at my yard so can't help in that respect. What I can do though is transport wood from someone elses yard to the show, if anyone not too far from me has something to donate I,ll happily shift it.
  24. For a moment there I thought you'd stumbled across some puff plants on a job.....I'd have throttled the pleb
  25. The thing is, are you prepared to go back in you're own time and put it right ?
