    after much deliberating i decided to share my favorite video with you guys, not everyone will like it but it always makes me smile and the music is way cool.. see, i'm in a good mood already:001_smile:[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S3w3sqVJ8XA]YouTube - crazy arabs[/ame]

    [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KL4g67IFptI]YouTube - Road Train going flat-out over a river crossing - Western Australia[/ame] no idea why i thought of this..

    but thats one of the reasons he will probably get away with it.. the guys who pretend to be in charge don't really know what they are doing:thumbup:

    cheeky wench:001_tt2:, its hopefully having a tipper conversion this year, it was over an hour there and an hour back with.. hmm, shall we say a relaxed approach to the climbing, many cups of tea with biccies.
  6. armchairarborist
    yup thats it, i have a towball ready to go on the back of the ifor williams trailer, short trips only but if it looks right you might get away with it. just rely on the new breed of plastic cops not knowing the law.. just make sure its all safe (cables/lights etc), its too late to plead ignorance but maybe get them into a fuel prices debate while your groundy siphons their tank:thumbup:
  7. armchairarborist
    i'd be more bothered about having it look legal, run a seven pin lighting socket to the back of the trailer to plug chipper lights into, erm.. i mean no thats a bad idea and you will get caught and punished.
  8. armchairarborist
    yup, might even be room for all your other marked bits of wood if you fancy doing two deliveries?
  9. armchairarborist

  13. armchairarborist
    the inner helper springs are £15 each and the fittings kit is £80 so £110 and you can load the beast till its full:thumbup1:, it took me half an hour to do the fitting on mine

    one from the other week, i worked as a nightshift security guard a few years ago and in summer i could sit and watch the sun come up undisturbed until nearly 9am every day, very relaxing, just time to think
  16. armchairarborist
    feeling useless eh? i felt that way recently when i couldn't climb due to overenthusiatic prussiking giving me a torn abdominal (gone and strained it today too).. that looks like you put the back cut in while still anchored to the piece.. probably a clever illusion eh?
  17. armchairarborist

    english man, scotsman and an arabic man walking through the desert, a hot brunette woman runs up to them wearing only union jack bikini bottoms, 'aha' says the english man, 'the english flag, she's mine' and rips off her underwear, to his dismay she is wearing another bikini bottom underneath with the st andrews cross on the front, 'och aye' says the scotsman, 'tis the flag of bonnie scotland.. she's mine' and promply rips off the underwear, immediately the arabic man points excitedly 'see, tis the beard of allah, she's mine..'
