  1. dismantled a 24'' diameter pear a couple of years ago, access was so bad it had to be ringed up all the way to the stump, even more gutted when it was taken without permission along with 30t of rings by farmer who's field i was storing firewood in, didn't even get to burn one bit. moved on now but i guess you find who you can't trust when stuff like that happens
  2. repollarded three trees, my bro did four! less and less shade with every one completed, three loads of chip and a mad dash to get red diesel before they shut at 4pm. nice and cool now waiting for curry delivery mmm
  3. fell in the river today chasing a wheelbarrow, kind of stayed there most of the day, dogs loved it, probably all got weils disease but who cares. swam out to middle of local res with the dog a couple of years ago then something big brushed past me underwater! love swimming in the little coves around scotlands west coast where you can see for miles underwater.
  4. well mine won last time so na na na:lol:
  5. he's right rob, you get less for them on ebay when the bottoms worn off:biggrin:
  6. a bit of noise pollution never hurt anyone:thumbup:, but i had a vicar screaming at me (proper mad, red face and twitching) when i had been ringing up logs for a few hours in the next garden with same mod on ms460:lol:

  8. you what? do your cuts then roll the evidence of a bad hinge down the nearest ditch to hide it? edit.. i take mine home so no-one sees..ever!
  9. on bonfire night a couple of years ago, a local farmer had a big bonfire, loads of people, he slaughtered a pig and brought loads of hot grub, all served in a horsebox, icecream box for donations was full at the end of the night. everyone happy:thumbup:

  16. thats bang out of order, but i can't say i'm that surprised. i packed in the foundation degree after two years for similar reasons. just keep telling myself that college is just one way of learning, there's other ways that don't involve travelling, days off work, being lied to about money and writing essays.
  17. saw these a bit ago, they look pretty good value, strauss kit is usually very good quality
  18. they could do with undercutting this winter, then selling next years planting season, undercutting severs the roots that are heading for the hills and makes them easier to rootball when the time comes. (done with a machine)
  19. just shut your eyes haha, i usually wear safety shades to look cool, i mean for extra protection behind the visor, still ended up in A+E with a splinter inside my top eyelid. its worst when the wind is swirling round, if its just one direction you can usually cut to avoid the worst coming at you.
