Good pic the the last one, of the 3 of ya, i can't see a fourth person standing behind a flower pot at all:001_rolleyes:, excellent camouflage:biggrin: Sent from my Galaxy S2

Sycy's that had been lion tailed badly a few years ago, had to reduce by 25% (yes they still use percentages:001_rolleyes), prob took a bit more off, 2 hours yesterday morning:biggrin: Sent from my Galaxy S2

Osmanthus sp. possibly O. heterophyllus??

i may have one, 2 day ticket at a discount price but won't know till the end of next week when one of the lads lets me know if he's coming or not:001_rolleyes:

there ARE still things such as accidents though, think another thread touched on the debate - fate/chance or choice, but thats a WHOLE nother debate:lol: PPE is there for when it is needed, if you follow the laws of common sense as you state above then you will never need PPE in the instance you describe.... i suppose you could look at the analogy of insurance, you don't NEED it, but its there if you do:001_rolleyes:

people sure do love to haggle:biggrin:

i might make a super fandangled computer algorithm that when you input ALL the variables it gives you the best price to quote for, and make a healthy profit:biggrin:

Depends on the job! Usually if its training we do wet work, epicormic, crown lifting, straight fells etc and don't climb unless we really have too... I hate wet kit Sent from my Galaxy S2

Shouldn't be hard to set up at all:biggrin: once you've got the list you can just keep adding to it everytime someone new wants to borrow a book. You could even go one step further and link the book going from person to person:thumbup:

who are you again:confused1: Seriously though, i think anyone who 'enters' the bookclub should be registered on an excel spreadsheet/database somewhere with address and phone contact details like a contractual agreement, but free:biggrin:

'Aunt Sally' sounds like some weird doublentendre! Have fun:biggrin:

i've had a few that i've managed to come up trumps on, more than made up for the one that got away:biggrin:

I priced a large sycy removal a few years ago, back garden job bit of hold and chuck, chog the stem down, boobs your uncle:biggrin: I priced it for me to climb and to bring in a fella I used for van, tools and chipper. I told him it was easy and we'd get it all on his fuso. It was raining heavily when I quoted:001_rolleyes: Few weeks later, turned up at the job, I got there a bit before my guy turned up with van so started to climb to get my anchor to save a bit of time.... Doh! Tree was bigger than I thought, woulda been 2 loads of timber easy, tree was over 4 back gardens with hardly any access and 2 of the gardens had pristine sheds/summer houses under neath which I hadn't noticed...! Took me two days instead of the one I'd quoted for, had to pay my guy for those days, and it could of been worse as the client in the end kept the timber... I didn't make a penny that weekend:blush: We live and learn:biggrin: Sent from my Galaxy S2

Think I might try some battery heated socks this winter:biggrin: Sent from my Galaxy S2

Mmmm i may have made a little booboo with this one:blushing: After going over the photos again and speaking to different people, i am now 100% that this isn't Ulmus parvifolia and that it IS indeed Nothofagus antartica So my apologies go out to all concerned who i befuddled with the wrong answer, and to David who got it right first:blushing: I shall endeavour to be correct next time:lol:
