  1. Just got one tonight of ebay, it won't be the first, its just sorted my summer fun, had all sorts in the past, even put them against my tax:lol:, may do the same with this one, had dorys, raiders, and sailing craft, done lots of diving, and water skying , but most of that water went up my ARS:lol: Diving last i nearly died:confused1: got narked right out@ 35m 0 vis on a drift:thumbdown: it poped my ear drum, no more diving for me. this one is just a small boat . Don't know how to post picks, i will have to ask TMT. but one thing in this crap year, i am going to have some fun, ever seen a fat arborist on a donut:thumbup:
  2. Whats the age limit? thanks.
  3. I just got 50 from a company £5.50 per bag m3 , 50 was the min order.
  4. Tony must be out on the rass, and on a work night:thumbup:
  5. Daedaleopsis confragoa
  6. I'm with Tom on this one and i'm a beardy, ale drinking, pot bellied sort of guy, who enjoys a really good moan about life, but life with my puma is growing on me in a good way. I think they pull ok and fly along the motorway even with out a chip.
  7. I agree with Paul.
  8. Good luck mate, i had one but it made me FAT. Went back to old school and i'm now trimmish:lol:
  9. agree , you'v got to try things in life.
  10. comon geza, i luv it:thumbup:
  11. You'v hit the nail on the head, its not so much about safety, its not about the money, if only i could teach Jack to talk, I can no longer work alone, not because of safety, but because i get too BORED, my main man TMT's stories about life as a young man and his sex conquests get me through the day, its ALL ABOUT THE CRACK, not literally, but about enjoying each minute of each day of your life. Working on trees ,pruning, and cutting them down satisfies the pysical appetite which one develops over the years(endorphin stimuli through physial exercise) but mental stimulation is still a requirment, and no, we don't just talk about sex all day. How many of you who work alone talk to yourself? and when you do find yourself in the company of the opp sex become confused, bedazzled or even vejazzle'd ? Thats how they get cheapo quote's:lol: So when you think you are saving money by working alone, think again, it may be that you have been vejazzle'd:thumbup:
  12. Yes , he can , full Cardiopulmonary resuscitation C.P.R. he's also fully trained in Acute care of at Risk Newborns and Endoscopic foreignbody retrieval, took me years to train him and its still a work in progress.

    Any thing from 50p upwards to a £1 it all depends on the spec, if you think along those prices then compair to how you'v been doing on day rate you will then know if its worth the push.
  14. Well it depends how you interpret 'on your own' on site i'm always with a colleague but when i'm back in the yard at my own house processing timber into fire wood i'v always got dogs with me , but i always make sure that they have the correct PPE on and carry a first aid pouch on there collar, Jack , the Jack Russell, is also first aid trained.
  15. I cost all my stuff, tracked chipper, grinder ext at £100 per hr or thats how it works out on the hr clocks not far off. It needs to be around that much:thumbup1:
  16. I just put my old empty cans of speckled hen in the stove each night, i have too , its the only way i can stop the house from burning down, have to make shore they are empty first:thumbup1: there's something in the tin which stops the flue taring up.read something once it had something to do with Michael Jackson. crist its blowin tonight, i'd better put some more tins on the fire:lol:
  17. £300 sounds better, it sort of roles of the tongue.

    Ransom

    Forgot to say my old man has made a living buying bits of land which on there own are worth nothing but when the time comes are worth a lot as ransom stips, hes just in the process of selling a 12" curb line for access to a large development , we are thinking it will be 50 to 100k, its a large site and only one way in:thumbup: he's also done the line thing only it was to have a pole moved, i can't remember the amount but it was a lot, another thing don't rush it, take your time. let the offers come forward.

    Ransom

    Go and see a solicitor and get him to condition that on top of your setlement they pay your fees, £82.50 ,is a joke, get your solicitor to do the negotiations. Developers will try it on every time:thumbdown: also get him to check out your boundery lines. You may also find you have a ransom strip!! which could be worth lots of money. Good luck.
  20. Top tip coming up, Go to oxfam, buy some oldy worldy clothing, flat cap, wippet- dog that is, find a good spot in an posh layby, bottle of red wine on a log next to a glass, Solitude- protend to live a nomadic existance and sell them for £50 a bag:thumbup: the posh toty will love it:lol:

  23. Hi Mark ,forgot to say it wasn't all fun, while i was there in London i was mugged 3 times, twice by nife point and once by claw hammer, all that training and all them ninja films didn't help, when some one sticks a nife at you neck, close and up front, you just empty your pockets, i think the hammer one was the worst, and there was also the old sketch, meet a nice girl, she says wait here while i book a room? and you never see her again:thumbdown: Jubilee!, i hope they have all got loads of money cus its a s hole place to live. Iv had fun like this all around the world, was also mugged in Mississippi BY GUN POINT AND YES THERE WAS A MARK IN MY PANTS THAT NIGHT,and another time in Miami after a fight i was in , i nocked the mugger out and did not realise he had a gun, stubby i think they called it, i felt my self turn white that night, so here i am today happy to be alive, thats just a few of my 9 lives, and thats not even talking about the 2 seasons working up the trees in Aus. London? i hate the place.
  24. Try doing things in a different way, my mog has gone and instead of chipping into the back of a truck and hauling away, i'v got a TW veri track,the hopper comes off, which we can get in most places and we now chip into dumpy bags using a diffuser so the chip just drops loose into the bag which is held open by a modified fork attachment which is fitted to the chipper, i then sell the bags as an extra back to the client for a fee on top of the cost of the job, we can now achieve my 2man target day rate in approx 5hrs so i now earn about 30 to 40% more in a day . savings are in not hauling, much less dragging and fuel and in cleaning up as the closser you get to the task and process the less time is spent on a rake. We can still remove arisings from site , but 85% of the time the client likes the idear of the bag.
