    Christ, look at that tidy needlework. How on earth can they stuff all that back in there and leave it so neat - makes you really appreciate a real surgeons art.

    I hope they drive about in black 4x4s with heavily tinted windows. Sounds cracking fun.

    The body's ability to heal is indeed most amazing. Glad he got lucky when it mattered most.

    In short, no. Sorry. I have a 338 in the shed somewhere. Nothing on earth would possess me to rebuild it. :- )

    Comes with practice.

    Thanks for holding back on the photo, rather than shattering my rose-tinted illusions. I appreciate how his experience was far from "the very best feeling". How is he doing now? Is he still in the industry?

    Using a properly working MS200t up in the canopy just puts a smile on your face. I guess it's not easy to explain to a non-climber but (arboriculturaly speaking) it's the very best feeling. Some may says it's the effect of the dappled sun on your skin, some may say it's the view that few others have ever seen. Some may say it's the smug satisfaction of looking down and seeing the mess you've just generated dissappear efficiently through the chipper, some may say it the simple outrageousness of the climbers work choice. It's probably just that you can't believe that the soddin' '200 is actually working properly. Snedding small Douglas with a new and bitching sharp 254xp on a sunny spring morning in runs a possible close second.

    The subject of top handled chainsaws, the potential for them to wreck you, and the likelihood of of them being banned has been rolling around since before the turn of the century. It has certainly been covered in great detail on most forums. It's a nice article, and my thoughts go out to those who have been adversely affected by these tools, but I guess that it is easy for employers and employees to dismiss the dangers when you consider the slight attention paid to these tools in the fields of training and assessment. I appreciate that few users would want more assessments being penned, but maybe a good starting point would be to come up an assessment that actually covers the use of a top handled saw. Just a thought.

    This one?

    Yes, but currently it is only the 1 doubter that has piped up in the last 10 years or so.

    "Drives like a standard defender" Wow, refreshingly honest for a car ad'.

    I must admit to trolling Mateflop one weekend. Sorry.

    You simply bury it in the small print.

    Any idea what the mod was? Hope it wasn't an air freshener on the mirror.

    That's not so bad then. I have written off a few vehicles over the years, and in at least two cases I am not sure the anyone from either insurance company bothered to look at them before decreeing the scrap sentence. In the case of your mate, was the reason for the claim attributed to the modifications or unrelated to them?

    Sorry to hear about that Dan. In your case, was the reason for the claim attributed to the modifications or unrelated to them?

    I translate that as: "We are at war with the neighbours and this will totally piss them off". If that is the case, I would also assume that your client will also fall out with you over something and never pay you fully.

    Not that it really makes a difference, but can anyone ID the species. I am lousey with evergreens, but I guess we can rule out holly and laurel.

    Geeeeez...... where would we ever find such a fella :- ( ...... 'ere, Spud, what are the chances that you would be any good at this sort of thing?
  21. Bolt
    Well....... ...That's certainly less fancy language.
  22. Bolt
    Could the rubber boot thingy between carb and cylinder become damaged / dislodged? (Or is that what spud said but only in fancier language?).
  23. Bolt
    Safely first. Just worried a passing coot may snag his ballsack on a stump. That kinda thing could put a real downer on his day.

    Bolt replied to Stubby's topic in The Lounge

    Sorry to hear it. Here's to the 40%. An old colleague of mine was forever getting one cancer or another. He ripped the piss out of it the whole time. I don't think he could be more disrespectful of an illness. I have seen folks make more of a fuss about having a basic cold. Your Mrs sounds like she may be made of similar sturdy stock, pass on our best wishes.

    Cowboys. Just look at the height of those stumps.
