    i dont mind them, i think the pics are cool. not so sure about the 'teen chat' and the date stuff. i have bought stuff from honey brothers at the apf stand before and the guys are always cool, i like the big bald mean looking guy. is that you? he always says hi as if he knows me and has good banter when it comes to a bit of haggling with the tight jocks lol

    it must be heart wrenching nuggsy, you are obviously a good dad or you would of left by now. plenty do. Do what your heart feels is right. try and not let your feelings for the ex get in the way. it is always the kids that suffer. they are little sponges.

    you can speed up training tenfold with them, no more standing around or dreaming. if something needs said you just say it, not let it piss you off for 30mins till you come out the tree and go ragey ragey.. if you ever want to try them out, take a run up mate. i think you are about 3hrs away.

    stump grinding is a good earner. its all down to the maintenance of the machine and the operator. spend time with a pick and keep it sharp. mr ed knows his stuff by the sound of it, if you 2 are close then you are onto a winner. 500quid. at least buy it and sell it again. if he is an old guy with a well looked after machine then he will have a good rep. i found the less complicated the machine the better. not a job i like doing but as things are quieter i am not as fussy. the going rate up here is 40quid a foot. but stumpbusters get cheaper the more you get them to do. our local guy will stick you on a half or day rate.

    not sure what make it is, i damaged the microphone cable so i gave it to someone to get fix, he stripped it and traced the parts. it is the same stuff the american swat teams use. it was 600 new. i got them for 350. built in to 2 helmets. but they are on the stihl hats which i dont like. i need to find someone who can swap the muffs to the petzl. worth every penny.no wasted time on a job. when you are up a tree you see everything before it happens. no more waving arms or waiting till someone looks up. even when you send a new boy to the mog to get something you can be round the other side of the house telling him what to do.

    dengie,just looked it up on google earth, that looks like pretty amazing farmland. i bet there are some good views there. i would love to head down that way and drive round the southern coast. once i convert the mog into a camper i will be jamming.
