TBH its not a job I would particularly want! Was theheart still warm because it was begining to decay, or because it wasnt long dead do you think Mick?

The mistake you made was weighing it........

Dont worry- i have been berating myself ever since.......I am going back to remove another one soon at the same address.....in case it drops pine cones on the garage:001_rolleyes: I think that the one next to that one may have a dead branch or two.....so thats on the list aswell:lol:

It was in decline, on the side of a hilll over a phone, LV wire and road, and another similar one about 50 metres away fell a couple of years back causing mega devastation...

gnarly and sticky.....I left my rope in the tree overnight....it had a VT at one end and a prussic at the other....the krab on the prussic was all greasy in the morning......except it wasnt grease......it was flippin radiata sap......i hate them from that point of view!

Hahahahahahahahaha......love the title change Steve........it obviously hasnt helped that much though LOL

I dont know WHAT you could mean there mark:lol: but yeas thay are REALLY good:laugh1: Actually there was a road, phone and LV wire below that tree, which was on the side of a steep slope:001_smile:

LOL- its taken me until now to realise what you meant:blushing:

Burlawn near Wadebridge.

Great stuff Yvonne. It worked well....we lowered a load of stuff on it:001_rolleyes:

That was Demitri. He is well old school, wont use spikes, doesnt own any. Been doing it for 25 years. Awesome ability and output. Another pic....

Well for some reason the computer seems to have missed out a load of pics, so heres some that should have come first:001_smile:

Been in a large-ish radiata for 2 days. Really nice to get back to big trees again after 2 odd months of stupid little thin things...yawn.. i have over 500 pics off this job, bit hard to know which to post up. Heres a few. Me and Demitri in the tree, AD15 on the ground (most of the time) New DMM rigging block in use too. Got rid of all the green on the first day.

Dave- you get my text today mate?

Not enough.....

Heres some from the last couple of days...trying one of these DMM rigging blocks that are out. Anyone heard of them? They're new apparently.....

After a fulfilling life with the now dead prince, Cinderella happily sits upon her rocking chair, watching the world go by from her front porch, with a cat named Bob for companionship. One sunny afternoon out of nowhere, appeared the fairy godmother."Fairy Godmother! what are you doing here after all these years?"The fairy godmother replied, "Cinderella, you have lived an exemplary life since I last saw you. I'm prepared to grant you three wishes. Is there anything for which your heart still yearns for?" Cinderella was taken back, overjoyed, and after some thoughtful consideration, she uttered her first wish:"The prince was wonderful, but not much of an investor. I'm living hand to mouth on my disability checks, and I wish I were wealthy beyond comprehension." Instantly her rocking chair turned into solid gold. Cinderella said, "Ooh, thank you, Fairy Godmother"The fairy godmother replied "It is the least that I can do. What do you want for your second wish?"Cinderella looked down at her frail body, and said, "I wish I were young and full of the beauty and youth I once had."At once, her wish became reality, and her beautiful young visage returned. Cinderella felt stirrings inside of her that had been dormant for years.And then the fairy godmother spoke once more: You have one more wish; what shall it be?Cinderella looks over to the frightened cat in the corner and says, "I wish for you to transform Bob, my old cat, into a kind and handsome young man."Magically, Bob suddenly underwent so fundamental a change in his biological make-up that, when he stood before her, he was a man so beautiful the likes of him neither she nor the world had ever seen.The fairy godmother said, "Congratulations, Cinderella, enjoy your new life." With a blazing shock of bright blue electricity, the fairy godmother was gone as suddenly as she appeared.For a few eerie moments, Bob and Cinderella looked into each other's eyes. Cinderella sat, breathless, gazing at the most beautiful, stunningly perfect man she had ever seen.Then Bob walked over to Cinderella, who sat transfixed in her rocking chair, & held her close in his young muscular arms.He leaned in close, blowing her golden hair with his warm breath as he whispered.........."Bet you're sorry you neutered me now!!!!!!"

Bri- I may have said alot of things today, but i dont remember saying that......plank:lol:

Because rock climbing (dynamic) rope is designed to save you in a fall, it isnt really suited to arb work, where we work on a 'tight-rope' system- that is to say our ropes are for work positioning and access, as well as fall arrest, which is why we use nigh-on static ropes. Along with the reasons Steve stated above, these factors render rock limbing ropes unsuitable.

As above.

Wait till the ipad three comes out in a few months- they are only trying to keep the buzz alive, now that Android are doing the same thing cheaper. Heard a huge article about it on radio 4 earlier today. Typical apple marketing ploy.

If you were closer i would be very interested. Wood turners love it, especially the bit with the whorls- where the knots are in rings, but it is impossible to put a value on it on line Im afraid.

There isnt a definitive list- they are constantly finding new species that are susceptible....

I truly think that we should all avoid getting involved in any legal arguments or opinions on this at the moment. We have very little information on what SOUNDS like an horrific incident. I really hope that the guy pulls through, and whatever course of action is taken, it is the best for him.

Crumbs...i hope you have plenty of room in your in box:lol: Sorry to hear its gone that way.
