  1. Can I be a member of youre gang for one or two shows only ? I promise to get drunk.
  2. I,ll bet some customers feel ripped off when they see you drive off with five or six hundred squids in youre bin for a days tree work, but you know you can justify it. I know nothing about how a dealer works and dont want to know. Everyone has to earn a living. So you can take it or leave it, the choice is all youres.

  4. I once climbed a fourteen inch bonsai.
  5. I,m trying to decipher youre post WP, and all I can think is that they are scared of you falling on him lol
  6. Yeah man, sweet. Just kidding bruv. Good on yer.
  7. That is Mark Kneller, a good friend of mine. Did you see him on "A year at Kew" ?
  8. [quote name=Jason James Gairn;108182Oh and I'm 15 stone Mick' date=' but bet I look heavier than you due to Higher BMI.:001_smile:[/quote] Luckily I am ectomorph so even if I stopped training and gave up physical work i wouldnt get fat just scrawny. If youre worried about youre weight increase I could always loan you one my used leotards if you wanted to give the the gym a go. I promise to wash it first lol. Seriously though, have you tried swimming ? It would be a shame to lose all that fitness that youve built up over the years through doing tree work.
  9. You will only get too big if you take steroids. I have trained for years and never taken steroids, the heaviest I have ever been is 15 stone and I have never lost any mobility.
  10. I agree with that Buzz, I love weight training and it helps with work. Strong muscles take some of the strain off youre joints. I follow a bodybuilding routine of one body part per session.
  11. Nice one TC, suddenly there seems to be an abundance of work. Ive got twelve jobs to look at tomorrow on top of a couple of hours finishing todays job.
  12. Not at all mate. I did,nt get chance to reply to youre question because I got embroiled in that "tree officer" thread. I dont know whether I was the cheapest, but imagine I was.
  13. I think you sabotaged it yourself Tony by being offended at my eedjit comment. This was my opinion based on the tree officers I,ve had to deal with over the years. Like I said "in my area" I certainly did,nt apply my opinion to one and all as you say. Please dont think any of my comments were aimed at anyone in particular except the TO,s in my area with exception of one.
  14. I know the ones in my area. And in my eye,s 80% of them dont know their arse from their elbow.
  15. The term "Arse about Face" springs to mind, with all due respect Tony.
  16. I could,nt careless what my local To,s look at or what they might think of me. The fact is I think they are on the whole stupid.
  17. Buxom beauties riding bareback, giddy aunt I,ve gone all giddy just thinking about it.
  18. I reckon they should do at least 20yrs on the tools first before being able to apply for the job.The majority of them are ejits. In my area at least.
  19. Loads mate, dont bother unless you can really look after them. So many people get em on a whim and it breaks my heart to see how some people treat ferrets. My advice would be to go out pugging with someone and see what,s involved first. Dont forget you,ll have to look after them for nine years or so.

  25. Yeah great trucks, i bought mine from new in 03 and I,ll never sell it. Nice choice of calibre but difficult to silence. When you apply for you,re FAC add on a .22rimfire for noise sensitive area,s and lamping. Oh and dont forget a sound moderator as it also needs to be proofed and on you,re ticket these days.
