i was innocently whacking through some himalayan balsam at one end of the yard with some thinwall piping on wednesday, walked back nearly the full length of the yard before two bees started stinging me, i couldnt see them so whipped my jumper off, one inside my jumper and one inside my teeshirt. this is what the stings looked like after 5mins, four days on i can still feel the swelling a bit.. that'll teach me
-
couple more, obviously none of this is my verdict, if i could afford a rangie then i wouldnt be sat here..
-
found this for ya.

pretty sure i can find an article about them in a landy mag. i was just about to send 3 boxes of mags off to someones jumblesale so i'll have a scan through tomoz.

you mean them annoying users of the queens highway who pay no roadtax, like a common jaywalker.

dogs crossing the road.. would say kids but they should know better. wear toecaps as the needle in the fuelgauge drops pretty fast. what year is it?
-
they should put roads with built in weighbridges everywhere.. that would catch the real criminals, a builder i know got fined 2wk ago for being 100kg overweight (4sandbags) i'll stick to the backroads

is there a prize for the stupidest question?

because thats all there is holding yer helmet on when you get the jolt..

local work is nice but we get a good amount of work all over, this year we have been sent to wales as well as sutton coldfield and other places, at first i felt like i was treading on local arbs toes but soon make new friends and contacts, garden centres love free chip and no firewood yard will turn away free wood. just price it right etc, change of scenery is usually welcomed by the lads. my turn for stupid question then.. i got this box to fit on cab roof, do i put the bolts through going up? or down? and why?
-
this is current box (they dont last long) essentials such as cableties, graffiti-liquid, spanners, sockets, wd40, 3hammers, drillbits/drill and an inch of woodchip (just in case). the other essentials including stove, recovery equipment, cans of soup and lucozade fit under seatboxes:thumbup1:
-
these are pretty good, think its 120db, any slight knock/vibration and away it screams, they only last about 6-12mth outdoors, just turn shackle round to enable/disable.

Hi guys, spent all day wasting time at hospital and docs, got either a hernia or muscle damage to stomach area(they havent decided which yet), told not to work for 2wks and to go see specialist, got a full weeks climbing for next week, not stupid stuff - just dismantles, crownlifts etc, ideally someone with rigging tickets and B+E trailer licence but not essential. if accomodation is needed then i have a caravan in garden etc.. thanks. Ed.

cool meerkat, but i thought they were supposed to wear a dressing gown? i drove past the wickerman thingy a couple of weeks ago near dumfries and i guess its a similar construction?
-
mines 12mth old and im having to 'choke' it to death everytime at the mo, its really easy to strip down but im sure its the switch as i've cleaned every other bit up a couple of times. stihl dealers usually have bags of them as they fit more than one machine.

first time flicking through sun newsrag in years today, some scrotes have been felling electricity poles with chainsaws to steal cable. hope it goes horribly wrong for them..

-
you know the 190 makes sense:thumbup1: i look forward to huge lines of conifer now because my 190 laughs at it all day long.. gone are the days of nipping every branch union and struggling with it..
-
zubat 330 usually replace every year which means fresh blood every year(never share a silky with a friend).. the clip is annoying on scabbard after a while, can they be resharpened? as i have a small pile of them
-
can use heras fencing as a roof too then(might need two), all held together with cable ties of course, the half inch ones are considered structural round here..
-
how many tools did you need to put up the washingline? i had a long layin bed, dreamed of having a big workshop, looked out of the window, had two breakfasts, my ma+pa came round and helped finish tiling my kitchen, watched telly, forgot to run the dogs today again, im getting lazy, i used to run them through the local woods everynight. now watching transporter2 and playing on arbtalk.

anyone advertised in thomson local
armchairarborist replied to Lorry thompson's topic in General chat
say what you want, it works ok for me.. they sent me a loser salesman guy first couple of times but i didnt like him. the new guy is ok and understood when i told him i didnt want to talk interweb advertising this year - just a book repeat, not like yell who still try ringing giving it all the sales bull. i dont like pushy people unless i need a bumpstart.
