No problem Ted, i will introduce you to some of the big growers over here. See if we cant get a few of them harnesses sold! Thought it was going to be hellish finding work but ive got 2/3 options at the mo, so we'll see what happens!

Im leaving the world of xmas trees after this harvest. It was good for a few years but it just aint me. So im joining the rest of you looking for work... Im based just outside of Dumfries, but will travel for longer periods of work. Im an experienced groundsman (9 years) in tree surgery/site clearance , ive got the tickets and i am a grafter that likes to get things done. Ive spent a lot of time with big chippers, agricultural equipment, construction plant and forestry gear. Got CSCS, PTS, all spraying tickets and im about to start my class 1 training in January. Il be available from mid January. Needless to say ive got good references and some of you already know me. Cheers

Lookin good Ap, Im 119kg myself so the bench needs to be WELL MADE to say the least. Not done anything for 6-8 months and i struggled on 2 n half plates a side last night... Need to get back at it. Im gonna start getting the steel together when we shut up for xmas.

I didnt even know there was a training and health forum!!!

Cheers Mark, Im gonna get back at it. 2 years ago i was in good shape and lifting 4 plates a side but since having my boy and work getting busy its all gone down hill! Il get some pics on when i start

Which type of fie,spruce to have as an indoor christmas tree?
big fell! replied to Hodge's topic in General chat
We harvested 22 thousand 150-175cm NF for B&q... Thats where they get their trees from. Awkward customers though, as are all big companies. -

Nordman Fir or a Fraser fir both hold needles well if the base is placed in water and can still take up liquid. DO NOT get a norway or engleman spruce... Unless they are going outside. Hodge your not that far from me, im near Dumfries. If you take a road trip up i will happily give a fellow arbtalk member a good tree. Regards, Rik -
Happy to help. Only 4 thousand more Ted then im off for 2 months!!!

If i am on Arbtalk it means that my good lady wife is not on Ebay... A GOOD THING !!!!

Similar thing, driving down the east lancs rd between Leigh and Wigan about 4 years ago in the then works van when i spied a young-ish man and has wife and baby girl at the side of the road. Pulled over and asked if he was ok and found out that they had run out of fuel. Bundled him in the van and took him to the nearest garage, only 5 mins away. He used my jerry can so he didnt have to buy a tetra can for a fiver and filled up his car. He tried giving me a tenner and i blank refused it and told him that was my good deed for the year. He got the number off the side of van and rang my old boss and told him what had happened. We got 2 decent sized jobs off the back of that and my boss gave me £100 pound... Funny old thing karma

No matter how wet/cold it is or how much its costing me in machinery breaking down and when my OWN staff steal from me... Another thread that one. I just remember that ive got a nice house, enough money to have a good standard of living and a wife and a son that love me and everything else no matter how bad it is just seems to pale into insignificance. Bit soppy for me, stay tuned for follow up post about guns,chainsaws and beer.... My motto has always been - there is always someone else worse off than me, so dont moan!

Need advice and experience - will work for free!
