  1. Looks very mystical!
  2. At ickworth park nr bury st eds, there's a big oak with several clumps of mistletoe growing as high as 60ft - i'll try to find a picture.
  3. I want to further my knowledge and eventually (i'm talking 3 or 4 years away) complete the rfs cert arb. Is there any specific reading material available? If not, what books should i buy to delve into similar subjects? thanks
  4. When i wanted to buy a new 200t last year, i found the best price on the internet (£426 inc) and went to my local dealer with that price - after a bit of haggling, they took it down from £480 to £435 which was a very good deal. To them, a sale with hardly any profit is better than no sale.
  5. If they have been very comfy and you don't like change, why change? The protector pro's are the best boots money can buy! ....... (completely objective opinion )
  6. Let me google that for you
  7. Took delivery of mine along with a very cozy Clark beanie. (thanks yvonne & co) They are so much more well made than the usual rubber palmed builders gloves I get and alot more comfy - I think we have a load of nasty, wet, mouldy robinias to dead wood tomorrow, so they will get a good test! I'll report back.
  8. give one of the arb shops a call who advertise here (plenty to choose from). they will give you good advise without trying to sell you really expensive stuff.
  9. depends how old you are prepared to go i suppose
  10. my iphone is fairly rugged with this rubber cover > and a clear plastic screen protector
  11. Audi 3.0L Quattro? or BMW 330d? If only i had the money....
  12. i heard that the saw dust has hook shaped bits in it but whether it's true or not...

  16. haha! yes, i agree. *opens photoshop
  17. here's the linky 4x4 sherpa pickup on eBay (end time 19-Feb-10 23:18:28 GMT)
  18. here you go....
  19. Stetch Airs for me too - just ordered my second pair (went for the +7cm versions as the normal ones weren't quite long enough). They are really stretchy, comfy and cool even in the summer.
  20. i would of spat out my drink if i was drinking one! haha
  21. it made me laugh when the 'traveller spokesman' was trying to make out the pikies to be honest folk who are skilled in many trades - he included 'tree surgeons' in his (small) list of trades
  22. I came towards end of the last day in 2009 - missed all the action. Hopefully i'll see some of you this year.
  23. thanks guys - bit of a quick 5 minute low-res photoshop effort, so not quite t-shirt quality. swb - or perhaps a fat guy slouched on a sofa with the laptop perched on his massive belly!
  24. our 03 plate transit struggles with the 750kg chipper! if any kind of animal or bird jumps out, there's no point in even trying to brake!
