  1. Trying to source a 6 inch tow behind chipper around 2005 model. Obviously cheap as poss and preferably from an arbtalk member or members mate . Cash waiting for the right machine. North west england nearest but can travel a few miles too. Feel free to PM if you like with anything of interest thanks.
  2. 111k on mine with no problems. Minimal towing and chipped to 200bhp, because I like em that way . Only got rid when an old doofus wrote it off as it was parked up.
  3. Ok anyone care to share the facts they know about the strikes? Opinions borne from hearsay and rumour are nonsense. Anyone? Oh and the fantastic pay part! Less than £1600 take home per month after deductions. Woopydoo!
  4. Fully agree. Why did we give £8.3 billion pounds away in foreign aid last year when we are skint. I agree with giving money to the needy (I give £20 to charity every month by direct debit). But some of the countries we are giving hundreds of millions to are running space programs ffs. And don't even get me started on tax dodging google, starbucks etc..... Close the loopholes and there is all of a sudden a massive amount of money pouring into the coffers to pay pensions. The FBU should be admired for standing up and saying no. But the government loves the "We are all in this together" Brigade who are brainwashed by mainstream media into thinking its something we just have to take. What we actually need is more unions to say no, we are not having any more of this. Failing that roll over and vote tory at the next election.
  5. Are firefighters own families in less danger than yours during strikes? Tories are masters of divide and conquer and they are trying it again. Not enough people in this country have half a brain. They are busy bickering amongst each other while the government steams ahead with a £51,000,000,000 project for a new railway. Who does the railway benefit? You guessed it, rich folks who want to get richer. Why should you or me pay for others mistakes in the financial sector? I posted an article on facebook outlining the truth behind what the dispute with the fire service is about. Within 5 days it had been shared in support of the firefighters 193,000 times. Anyone who does not know the FULL facts behind the dispute cannot even comment. Hows that for a thread de-rail ha ha ha.
  6. It does look mighty cold there and keeps the wood nice and brittle
  7. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=613298968728080&set=vb.545848418806469&type=2&theater Well what a lot of time we have all been wasting picking up the pieces to chop again
  8. Imagine alcohol had never existed up untill now. Then someone creates it today and approaches the authority responsible for legalising or banning any new drugs put forward for testing. Sales pitch goes something like " This new drink is addictive to many and very bad for liver and kidneys. Makes many people violent and others drink untill they do not know what they are doing. Alters mood sometimes to extremes and will be used worldwide for enjoyment but with many cases of overuse leading to accidents injury and death to self or others through your actions. Banned immediatly would be my guess
  9. An old trick used by the IRA was to go round a roundabout a couple of times if they suspected they were being followed. Worth doing if you suspect you have a tail following you to your lock up
  10. Just explain to them a jerry can is not 30 litres
  11. Had this in Liverpool once with jerry cans. Jerry cans FFS. I had to explain that if its good enough for every army in the world as a means of carrying fuel then its good enough for a tree surgeon to carry fuel too. Muppets make me want to puke :lol:
  12. Thanks chaps. It is the white electronic model I am after the coil for not the points model. Will give the engineering company a call and try my luck
  13. Thanks, i'll give them a tinkle and see if they can help
  14. Just wondering if anyone has one lying around and willing to exchange for some beer tokens. Got given a non runner on recently and theres only a very weak spark. Not worth spending too much on the saw as im not sure if that's the only problem. May sell as a non runner if I can't find a coil if anyone is interested
  15. Time=Money. And this is going to cost you time. You could be on a fresh job earning rather than satisfying the whim of someone who changed their mind halfway through a job. No builder, Plumber, Electrician, Block paver, Particle physicist I know would do extra work for free due to a customer behaving in this way. I have had to walk away from arrogant people just expecting you to do extra upon extra for free just because "You are there with your equipment so you may as well just.....". Work for free and earn nothing, Then ask Tesco for some free shopping and the utilities for free gas electric and water. You see my point
  16. 343 firefighters and paramedics raced into the buildings whilst everyone else was racing out. True guts and dedication to serving the people they are paid to protect.
  17. Its VERY hard to get rid of, and very expensive to have it done by a large company. I wouldn't be happy with it being within 100 metres of my property, spreads like wildfire especially if people just cut it down.
  18. Japanese knotweed invasion is halting house sales as buyers are denied mortgages on blighted properties | Mail Online Hows that for a nightmare!
  19. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WqCsh9zvD5M]Catastrophic Chainsaw Accident (Viewer Discretion Advised) - YouTube[/ame] Not for the faint hearted. The guy is asked in the video how he has done the injury and states "I was cutting a log and the saw kicked back". No chainsaw trousers on and here is the result Ewwwwwwwww!!
  20. Hit an old semaphore signal steel cable on the railways on a night shift. Resulted in the signals becoming inoperable until repaired. Could have been an expensive fine for the firm I was working for if it had delayed the trains. Luckily we were on a track closure and there was plenty of time to get the repair bods on site. Hard to spot at night under poor lighting amongst the brambles when I was doing my tazmanian devil thing!
  21. Noisy aggresive dogs guarding is about the only guarantee of deterrence im afraid. But who wants those around!
