  1. yes but you are just saying that because you know she is looking at you looking at the girl:001_smile:
  2. has the branch to go away from us or towards us, if it is toward then it would need another line to pull the branches by the big lower limb. what is below the tree. many obstacles. i only use a speedline if it is simple.
  3. becoming a film director, buying a mewp,using a hiab to lift you up trees,wearing purple wheat filled slippers, driving your wives hairdressers car,using pulleys rather than muscles, trying to get out climbing by starting a forum. mmmmmmwho else??:001_tongue:
  4. i dont use pulleys, just rope, carbs and small slings. either straight from the branch i am cutting or bounce it off the closest one. take up a few slings with carbs, make the lads clip them on to your line before heading off with the branch, then just pull them up to you. in the right situation you can put them straight into the hopper:001_smile:
  5. a gift:sneaky2:be a man and admit they are from you, i got them in our local garden centre, they stayed toastie for hrs last night. we have a neck warmer made from the same stuff, had it for about 3 years used almost every day in winter, still works the same, the slippers were about 15 quid me thinks:001_smile:
  6. schiesling have a very good name, 14yrs old though. i am sure edd will keep you right on things to look out for. any pics:001_smile:
  7. hairdressers are tougher me thinks:001_tongue:
  8. good stuff joe, suny here today as well:001_smile:
  9. show your qualifications/paperwork to the company, see what they say.
  10. a couple of winter cuts helps keep away diseases, but ground conditions will have a lot to do with it, i saw some guys today scarifying, best thing to do if you ask me, get some fresh air into the turf:001_smile:
  11. big joe has a bird frank, he took her to the game last saturday but she caused quite a stir:ohmy:
  12. i am all for living off the land and sea, and to me it doesnt go on cute and cuddly. a fly that is squashed into a windscreen or dolphin that has been hammered to death, they both deserve a moment of sorrow. a heartbeat is a heartbeat. this was most probably done hundreds of years ago so the islanders could survive. but times move on, and just because you are good at killing something doesnt mean that it is right.
  13. happy birthday graham:001_smile:
  14. check out the blue sky, great day for the job mate
  15. its official tom, congratulations mate or should i say sir:001_smile:
  16. i have seen that one, scary yet funny stuff. i wonder what the final bill was for all those boo boos:ohmy:
  17. i take it the knee is on the mend, found this a few months ago so took another pic yesterday, it was dripping off the tree(dead elm)
  18. i was wanting to raffle it on here, but the gaming commission said no today, it was against the law, sorry guys:thumbdown:
