  1. It might not be of use, but timberwolf are offering 2 yrs 0% on new chippers with 2 yrs warranty and lots of free goodies The tw150 works out about £25 each working day for 2 yrs.
  2. Nice work I recognise that 'gadd brothers' sign from Great Barton this last week - i drive through there every day for work
  3. nothing major so far... although the company i work for had a contract for the norwich to london main line and someone decided to be lazy and straight fell a tree instead of dismantling. so on a friday afternoon at about 4pm, just before the busiest rush hour, the tree went crashing through the lines and caused £1m of damage/delays etc they lost the contract....
  4. ah, that would have been the boss and his son. hopefully they had the little timberwolf, the old entec is embarrassing - especially driving past bts or urban forestry lol sorry for the thread hijack, james
  5. Good morning. Not me I'm afraid, was busy doing a 100ft long conny hedge in rickinghall, so not far. Someone on your turf?

  10. did you try my link?
  11. Just went to go to the shops and found some %&$*(idiot) had made a massive dent in the front passenger door of my car! There is so much room in the car park it would take a very 'special' person to do it! Then i found a note under the wiper, so thought 'fair enough'. On it was a phone number, no 'sorry' or a name, and to top it off, the number was 1 digit short! I've tried phoning various combination's of the number but to no avail. Just have to play the waiting game now to see if they realise i haven't phoned them! Please share you similar stories to make me feel better. Oh yeh, the window only goes down half way now
  12. try steve at hawkes tree services, Tree Surgeon Essex & Suffolk, Hawkes Tree Services
  13. the only experience i have of this situation is my boss and his son. his son doesn't seem interested, turns up hour late most days, bad attitude, but he is kept on as he is always there at the bosses house to run around for him doing little crap jobs and errands.
  14. im 6' 4" and 13.5 stone. im slim, not skinny but by no means 'muscley' sounds like a dating ad!
  15. A massive fail/fracture (with my dream campervan/army truck underneath it) and a lovely dead tree. Taken at Beautiful Days Festival (Escort Park, Devon)
  16. good advice, sean. will take it on board for when i eventually take the course.
  17. why? do you feel you couldn't stop drinking if you did and end up like him? i drink and enjoy it, but never end up like him...(well..)

  24. i would of done too, but i only had 2 fivers in my wallet! and re: karma - i believe in it after i found a bumbag at a festival with about 80 quid in it, i took 20 quid as i was skint, then handed in the rest. later on in the festival, i lost my phone.... c'est la vie
  25. Lost my 3 week old iphone 3gs today whilst at work today. I thought it had been stolen from the cab whilst we worked! Been going through the headache of police, insurance, getting the phone blacklisted etc - going on holiday for 2 weeks tomorrow so extra headache! Anyway, got a call this evening on my gf's house phone from someone who had found it! he said it was on the floor at sainsbury's carpark - arranged to meet him, got my phone back and gave him a tenner to get a few pints (met him at a pub) i'm a very happy chappy Sadly not many people would return a 500 quid phone so easily
