  1. Mark and Rich still hold the title imo! Here's an old guy lunge
  2. Let him fell 1, then you will see a diference mate
  3. Right leg adjacent to front leg, poor form and not enough effort. He looks embarrassed not proud!! He has a lot of work ahead! Maybe get him to do some pointing to the sky, or the inquisitive hand on chin, other on thigh.
  4. Your the foreman, you need to make a list of ground rules and police them. If you are innocent then speak to your bosses alone, you have your rights as well. First thing in the morning, it's hand shakes all round and start a fresh. Chainsaws, Chippers and trees don't mix with bad feeling on a site. If this lad is a bad egg, then catalogue his behaviour and let the bossesdeal with it. Your running a tree crew, not a crèche . This is why I work alone.
  5. Title says it all:sneaky2:Good on him for going to the bosses. That takes courage! :thumbup1:And good on the bosses for addressing it!
  6. Looks like they're doing a good job, hopefully the climbers are members on here:thumbup1:
  7. Not sure if it's my old Jon, the wheels look different.
  8. Just look at it as a bonus thing that we enjoyed for a few years and now its back the way it was. Seriously if you buy Stihl, what is there to go wrong between Apf visits? I've bashed them about for years up trees, in hoppers of chippers in transit, dropped out of trees and dropped 100 times a day on the ground while wrestling stuff at Chippers, and they keep going. I've got a couple of carcasses I can rob for casings or plasticky stuff. Stihl have been going for 90 years, turned £2.62 billion last year, they know what's best for their business.
  9. You must have strong leg clamping muscles not wearing spikes on a pole!
  10. A more tree like avatar wouldn't go a miss either:biggrin:
  11. A tough call I bet for the head teacher, trying to keep hundreds of teenagers in line all day, that can't be easy. I think he will of used his best judgement at the time given all the circumstances. It may have been the case that it was best to send 4 well disciplined kids home to change than have an uproar from the noisy ones. The minute the press get a hold of something, I take it with a pinch of salt.
  12. Welcome http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/members-only/2229-welcome-forum-you-238.html
  13. I'm after some attachments for the digger. A selector grab, rake and a mulcher/flail head. Something that will do gorse and light scrub. Advice welcome or should I say needed for what to look out for. I did find this while looking for stuff.

  14. Your putting twice the down force on where it goes over, needs considering on small forks or Limbs.
  15. £2000 a day, 9 am start, 3pm finish I heard:biggrin:
  16. Classic line!!!! It was right behind you:lol:
  17. I reckon they used the ports wrap because that's what they had. It's a simple way of tensioning and locking off .
  18. Great pics guys, and what's cracking seat!!
  19. A lapse of concentration ! No one was hurt, I reversed my Iveco intomafel bowser and shoved it about 50 yds, I hadn't even noticed i done it till after, I bent the exact same bit !
  20. I was at a wedding where Tom Jones married Audry Hepburn
  21. Go and get a lottery ticket mate, today's your lucky day!
  22. Love the traffic cone:thumbup1: I don't think we've had a member from Russia, I may be wrong though Nice fell against the walls:001_smile:
  23. Fantastic! Was it just a big stump or is it 80 ft high:001_huh:
