  1. I just tried Marks sitting on the floor and stretching your arms out experiment. I'm so unflexible, I can barely touch my shins, let alone my toes. Even sitting on the floor with my legs straight out I can feel my hamstrings pulling:blushing: I'm surprised I can walk, let alone climb:laugh1:
  2. Ginger like an Orangutan?
  3. Thats interesting, i'm perfectly square. Was either of your parents really really hairy mate?
  4. I agree, if the sprocket is spinning at the same speed then the chain is also moving at the same speed.
  5. Seems to me that with the sheer volume of these threads this year there may well be more people selling logs than buying them.
  6. Thats cheating.
  7. We had 2 of very similar size in a field opposite our house the other day. Would have been a good photo if I could find my camera, as they stayed there all afternoon, soaking up some rays.
  8. Good point, but on this occasion I was thinking the opposite. Normally on here we see a lot of pics of one handed use which is just wrong. In these pics he is using the saw one handed, mainly where he is allowed to use it one handed, ie to get the ends and tips at full stretch. Think there may be a little evidence of a little cut and hold too though, naughty naughty.
  9. They look of similar locking design to the ones in your garden mate. Not sure they are supposed to be used that high as a retaining wall. Dont think it looks great either. They should have got you to do it, cos yours look much better:thumbup1:
  10. If they are exactly the same length, are you sure you measured the right 2 fingers?
  11. 68mm? It means you have got little girls hands! Mine comes out at 0.87, 80mm and 92mm
  12. He's thinking about what it would be like if his Mrs was that flexible:lol:
  13. If you are only winding people up when you are less than 5m off the ground you could prob get away with it on gardeners insurance:lol:
  14. Looks like good advice to me.
  15. Drinking tea too dangerous for you mate? Man up and get some tea inside ya:lol: 96 ft is a long way down. And you wonder why you are getting a few aches and pains:lol: Anyway, stop derailling this thread. We are supposed to be proving why we are so much better at climbing than the youngsters (once we've had our supplements and painkillers)
  16. You 2 are far to dangerous for a couple of oldies. I've heard a cup of tea whilst watching telly is quite safe.
  17. Maybe one of us should start a marketing thread. Might be useful for anyone who thinks marketing and advertising are the same thing or those who dont know their CRM from their USP. We could waffle and waffle and then, waffle some more.
  18. Had to laugh when I read you were giving firewood advice to a bloke who's name on here is Firewoodman. I think he might have a moisture meter already mate.
  19. He's been googling flexible women:lol: Reckon its real though, i've known girls who could do that. One could even do most of that in the back of a van:lol:
  20. An axe in the knee cap, thats not something anyone is going to do to themselves on purpose. Makes we shiver just thinking about it.
  21. That'll teach you not to annoy the Mrs.
  22. Ill let you off then.
  23. You need to watch that mate, a lot of places keep the design. You could obviously get it copied but you might not get the original artwork. Would be worth asking if they could put the files onto a memory stick for you. Some will, some wont.
  24. Taking supplements? thats like admitting you are old. Grin and bare it mate.
  25. Yeh, for digital that is a bit steep. You often get what you pay for with printing though mate. To be honest, I can tell the difference between Litho and digital from a mile away, but most cant so digital is prob the way to go. There are loads of companies who do really cheap Digital printing but most of them are rubbish. For what its worth, I would get business cards and compliments slips and stuff like that done by someone you know will do it properly, cos these will def be seen by people you want to impress. Leaflets for large scale drops are most cost effective if you get them done cheaper, most will get binned, and chances are 99% of people wont know they were cheap anyway. I can get 5000 a5 full colour leaflets done for about £150, just to give you an idea of prices. If you get them done cheap by a company on the internet make sure the design is done properly on Adobe in-design/ illustrator and that they are saved at full resolution. Most people think for print that 300dpi is sufficient but saving in higher resolution will give better printed results. If you go for templates on the internet for business cards etc, be a bit creative. There is someone on here who has their business card as their avatar and it is one or the most common cards as its design is on the first couple of pages of a well known card design site. Even the colours havent been changed. Last thing, spend time and money on the content and design, not the printing would be my advice, in your line of business. You are looking to get people to want your service, so a call to action is much more important than a brand awareness type advert. Sorry to waffle on, I dont know much about trees, advertising and marketing is my subject.
