  1. havent a clue mate but nice pics:001_smile: i didnt realise you had hills in essex. lovely countryside
  2. in a trial, a southern small-town prosecuting attorney called his first witness, a grandmotherly, elderly woman to the stand. he approached her and asked, 'mrs jones, do you know me?' she responded,'why yes, i do know you, mr williams. i've known you since you were a boy, and frankly, you've been a big disapointment to me. you lie, you cheat on your wife,and you manipulate people and talk about them behind their backs. you think you're a big shot and you haven't the brains to realize you'll never amount to anything more than a two-bit paper pusher. yes, i know you'. the lawyer was stunned. not knowing what else to do, he pointed across the room and asked,'mrs jones, do you know the defense attorney?' she again replied,'why yes, i do. i've known mr bradley since he was a youngster, too. he's lazy, bigoted, and has a drinking problem. he cant build a normal relationship with anyone, and his law practice is one of the worst in the state. not to mention he cheated on his wife with 3 different woman. one of them was your wife.. yes, i know him.' the defense attorney nearly died. the judge asked both counselors to approach the bench and, in a very quiet voice, said, if either of you idiots asks her if she knows me. i'll send you both to the electric chair.'
  3. it is our industry that keeps osteopaths and chiropractors in business, if it can be pulled, ripped, strained, trapped then this job will do it all:001_smile:
  4. got you, there was a couple of big shredders there i think. that was a good spot for the shade. man the weather was great for those days:001_smile:
  5. so it was right in front of you then lol justin was your stand the one that lookes onto the pole climbing with the chairs outside it, if so thats where i was eating my donuts. the wee lady that sells the donuts is a gem and she also does a lovely hot chocolate:001_smile:
  6. i have never done cable bracing but i know how awkward it is sometimes trying to drill things that you want to aline with something else, great idea mate, i like your style cuz, sharing a good idea with the world. good on ya
  7. holy smokes chris, i dont fancy lifting those quarters back on:ohmy:
  8. you were probably down in the woods where all the cool tree killing stuff was steve, i only went up to the top area for coffee and donuts:001_smile:
  9. i think that is terrible dean, i have never felled everything in a garden and said it was just the storm damged one
  10. personally the only reason i have never bought a tracked chipper is because i can always find a maniac to work for buttons who owns one, if it was mine i would want 200 per day plus 50 quid delivery and uplift, and i would charge 2 boys out at 20 quid an hour each. oh and they would need ot for there traveling time so that would cost more too.plus my diesel charged acordingly, but it sound like the job is going to be sore on the machine and enthusiasm to chip like a madman for weeks will soon run out. sub someone in and stick on 20 percent for doing nowt.
