    50 quid is the best cash tip, but i was given a stihl 026 once, 1 year old never used.
  2. all the best mate, but things usually happen for a reason. best of luck and i am sure you will keep us posted on your future adventures and success.
  3. I was too quick to reveal my true identity, but hell its a weight off my big green shoulders. I have a privette hedge full of rot iron and tv cables to remove by hand on monday if you want, there is a 460quid in it if you fancy swinging a pick mate. after that its coffee and cake . so i will see you tuesday mate, lol
  4. routenburn golf course, bath st. you are loving these little clues. i think the link is cheap drink mate. what about the 'clachan' bar? as for the lady in question, what my old aunty flo does in her spare time is her business:001_smile:
  5. i usually leave it to last, i dont like the way a stem moves once the top is out it, it doesnt have a nice sway in it. and i have been caught out before. not leaving enough and if i have to go well out on a lower limb and my rope starts to move up it can be quite un nerving. and usually you go back up to disc down anyway, plus i get a good feeling once i have knocked the head out and you turn off the saw and enjoy the view. very satisfying:001_smile:
  6. big job mate, looks like a job for buzz.
  7. it would do more for your company pr than it would for your pocket. these folk will tell all their friends how lovely the tree guys were. some jobs you cant put a price on. or some would kick the arse out of because some one is heartbroken over their kitty and would pay anything. but the first option is the best. imho
  8. thats the very chap, his stuff is excellent:001_smile: and he is probably closer.
  9. the guy over in dunoon is really good, but i dont know his name. maybe someone here does, he goes to the carving competitions
  10. i havent raised my weapon in quite sometime. and before i am aloud to mrs shrek says i have to get it decomissioned:sad:
  11. there was no hidden meaning in what i said, he is over a 100feet up that monster tree with a big hanging limb beside him. i just presumed he is human and may of been worried. my experience of climbing big pines(none of this size)usually ends up with not much skin on my knuckles after climbing with that rough bark and the odd slip on the spikes. the pollard comment was meaning he looks like the kind of guy who enjoys dismantling but that is just my assumption. i meant no disrespect, i already said i was really impressed with his work.
  12. actually since my cover is blown, i may as well come clean. my name is fiona. my dad is a frog. and you dont want to see me after dark.
  13. you can either be mimi-me or number 2:001_smile:
  14. were you up here at the routenburn sex change clinic that looks over the golf course?franchesca:001_tongue:
  15. i didnt tell you i also broke the high sides on the big trailer today, and cant use it till tomorrow when my mate comes up with welder. But i did manage to get a home for my wood in the yard that i had been playing about with with my splitta.40quid a ton.it is only 10 miles away.so i am delivering it tomorrow. it is probably worth more because it is broken down, but ha ho its local and its a start with my supply woodfuel world domination plan. wohohohahaha:001_tongue:
  16. wont that just give the predators somewhere to stand saving there feet getting wet. lol
  17. especially mine, as it is getting emptied tomorrow at 40 quid a ton for firewood. yeehaa.
  18. i contacted orange this morning to change my wifes contract phone to pay as you go. the nice lady tina did this no bother and also knocked 15quid a month off my bill. so i called bt to see if they could do anything with my broadband and land line. no bother . instantly halfing my broadband from 30 to 15 per month and knocked 5 % off my landline. thats a saving of 400 pounds i wreckon a year. so why dont you guys give them a bell tomorrow and see what you can get. i used to never haggle, just pay the bill no question. but in this current climate why the hell not. i have now saved over 2k on this years outgoings between my insurances and now phone.
  19. if you do get a big mewp and do tie yourself in, remember to undo said strop before you jump out of basket. i didnt dropped about 3 feet and gave myself one hell of a jolt and was left dangling a foot off the ground. ouch.i think my pride got more of a jolt that day.lol
