  1. I think what happened is that you mistook his avatar as him being banned lol!
  2. Koala (the carver that was at roseudgeon) swears by the meindls..Thats all he will wear. They look very nice, and i had a pair many years ago that were VERY comfortable. Not sure on waterproofness.
  3. Yeah i looked at those extremes before i bought this pair of pros, and i stuck to the pros. Although the sole is delaminating a little bit along the side of one boot this time. Never had the prob before. It hasnt affected waterproofness at all though, so i am not worried TBH.
  4. Good trucks, but withams are VERY pricey. The DAF is a good truck, but dont expect awesome off road ability, esp with those tyres. Get a winch on it or a tractor standing by if you are going to do a lot of off road work. I have seen plenty stuck...
  5. There are a few in the classifieds.
  6. The protectior pros arent the spiked ones Dave, the spiked ones are called protector extreme. HAIX® :: Welcome on the official haix website
  7. but spelt better:blushing::lol: (i just read what i had written!!!)
  8. I suspect that there has been a misunderstanding along the way here. I dismantled a horse chestnut last sunday. I was approached by the owner on recommendation. The owner is a VERY ill elderly man and his wife. I went through the rough costing, which would have come to about £1800, most of which was road closure fees, my price only coming to about £600. I told them to contact their insurance to see if there was anyway it could be coverd. The next day they received (coincidentally) a letter from Highways, explaining how a local tree officer had been driving past this tree which overhanged/ hung (?)a bus route on his way to work watching it die all summer and had advised highways of it. They had in turn written aforementioned letter, which stated that they should get the tree cut within 14 days or highways would do it and recoup the cost. They were also advised to ensure that they chose an insured contractor who was qualified and could do the road closure/ get it sorted, and that they ought to get a few quotes too. Before they rang me and read me the letter, they were under the impression that they were to get an 'approved' contractor, simply because the 'council-speak' wording was not what they were used to. Once i had explained it as outlined above, they could see that they had the choice of who they wanted, and that the letter was just offering (and rightly so in my opinion) good guidance to ensure that works were carried out properly and safely and legally. I could be wrong, but as i say, i suspect that this may have been the case here.
  9. There are second hand vermeers about. There was a few on ebay recently, and i have recently sold one too. Vermeer Uk are very helpful, and may be able to source a machine for you if you were interested. Products - Vermeer UK
  10. Protector pros. Used them for years. Thay eare awesome. Wouldnt consider anything else nowadays.
  11. Crikey. You wil be disappointed with TW if you are used to schleising, and IMO Jensen are alot better than TW too, esp in the area of bearings. There are a million threads on arbtalk about TW bearings. The 190 is a 9" machine too BTW. The 150 is the 6". I am a vermeer fan meself.

  13. Is that a semi chisel or chipper chain, or is it a full chisel. I do need a new one of those bars....just need to work out how much (or how little depending on which way you see it lol) to offer you......
  14. I am speechless. My son says he wants it....so do I!!
  15. Haha- i think you may not be too far off the mark there mate:sneaky2: That just about describes every cornish farmer to a tee:lol:
  16. Hahaha- in a way I hope so. I was VERY happy with my bit, and even happier to have saved them loads of money. I saw a bit of the 'secret millionaire' show last night. I would love to be able to give money away to those less fortunate than i.
  17. I happen to know of a 460 being sold. I was approached by someone yesterday offer5ing one that was nearly new. If he rings me back i will find out more about it and post here.
  18. Just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to, doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have. Ralph and Edna were both patients in a mental hospital. One day while they were walking past the hospital swimming pool, Ralph suddenly jumped into the deep end. He sank to the bottom of the pool and stayed there. Edna promptly jumped in to save him. She swam to the bottom and pulled him out. When the Head Nurse Director became aware of Edna's heroic act she immediately ordered her to be discharged from the hospital, as she now considered her to be mentally stable. When she went to tell Edna the news she said, 'Edna, I have good news and bad news. The good news is you're being discharged, since you were able to rationally respond to a crisis by jumping in and saving the life of the person you love... I have concluded that your act displays sound mindedness. The bad news is, Ralph hung himself in the bathroom with his bathrobe belt right after you saved him. I am so sorry, but he's dead.' Edna replied, 'He didn't hang himself, I put him there to dry.. How soon can I go home?'
  19. A man met a beautiful blonde lady and decided he wanted to marry her right away. She said, 'But we don't know anything about each other.' He said, 'That's alright, we'll learn about each other as we go along.' So she consented, they were married, and off they went on a honeymoon at a very nice resort. One morning they were lying by the pool, when he got up off of his towel, climbed up to the 10 metre board and did a two and a half tuck, followed by three rotations in the pike position, at which point he straightened out and cut the water like a knife. After a few more demonstrations, he came back and lay down on the towel. She said, 'That was incredible!' He said, 'I used to be an Olympic diving champion. You see, I told you we'd learn more about each other as we went along.' So she got up, jumped in the pool and started doing lengths. After seventy-five lengths she climbed out of the pool, lay down on her towel and was hardly out of breath. He said, 'That was incredible! Were you an Olympic endurance swimmer?' 'No,' she said, 'I was a prostitute in Liverpool but I worked both sides of the Mersey
