  2. Butterfly 2 harness 37m yale xtc and this climbing hitch (distel & micro pulley??)
  3. yes i am going to call all the companies in the yellow pages.... and yes i am at otley! half way through a ten week course - the assessor said that i 'walked' the 30+31 yesterday - to say i was chuffed is an understatement im having fun - the tutors are all cool, we have a laugh....
  4. Made a new thread as since i last posted i passed my 30+31! (and you can't edit original posts) at college full time so weekend work is what i'm after at the moment. saying that, from this weekend til next (25th-31st) i'm on half term break so if anyone has any work i could do i'd appreciate it. i have all PPE & car. cheers
  5. only went from 2-5pm today, i missed all the climbing fun i guess. some great woodwork on display - an inspiration to any aspiring carver. v. jealous of the people with the horse box conversion - very cosy!
  6. great photo's! loving the old truck!
  7. just an update - will be doing my cs30&31 next week so (if i pass) will be able to work over half term as qualified groundy. if anyone can help out from 22nd-29th may it would be much appreciated - so skint right now cheers

    New Boots

    oh well, i'll still buy another pair at £102. very comfy! i walked about 6 miles in them the other day with thin socks and my feet didn't ache at all!

    New Boots

    good for budget buys - but they have to contend with elten fellsmen which are THE best boots for under 100 quid.
  12. What's the best day to come down? I can't afford both days
  13. hi mate, sent a couple of pm's but had no response -

    did you get the cheque?

    cheers alex

  14. if you have a new style number plate, dvla website is quoting £275 for TR53 EEE (or whatever year yours is)
  15. may as well go for some slightly irritated beavers....
  16. if you still need some there some cheap new ones on ebay.... Stretch Air Pfanner Hi Vis Chainsaw Trousers +BNIB+ on eBay, also Chainsaws, Power Tools Equipment, Garden Plants, Home Garden (end time 16-May-09 21:35:09 BST)
  17. a playstation3, 42" plasma and genny to power them please
  18. ^ guess he just went by the usual 5-6% savings accounts. i would probably give almost all of it away. i like having money - but only enough to get by, save some and occasionally by some nice things. saying that, i couldn't resist buying an audi rs4
  19. just curious as to what is the most extreme security you can use to protect your equipment in the uk. i've seen south africa's flame throwers and 10,000 volt fences but i doubt they are legal here. it breaks my heart reading through the stolen equipment section.
  20. when i get to the stage of needing to protect expensive equipment, i'll get a couple of these....
  21. My Elten Fellsman's have lasted a couple of years - they laugh at the sight of puddles and squelchy mud. Still really grippy up trees. I will probably get some more after these. fr jones were selling them for £75 inc @ capel a couple of weeks ago. afaik the Stihl Specials are just rebadged/slightly different Fellsman's.
  22. that's my girlfriend
  23. haha! thats a great idea! get a massive tab from it instead of payment. i should think that it would be a more attractive proposition for him.
  24. If you are genuinely concerned then let the landlord know and just say that he should get it felled - and say he could call up any tree surgeon, not just you. That way you wont come across as a canvasser.
  25. both of my hobbies are potentially expensive. especially when i have a skatepark in the garden and a 20kw soundsystem (yeah right) couple of pictures from recent times....
