PS, it looks nice and sunny where you are - is it the US?

As steve says, its an eyesore, but its only an eyesore when viewed at certain angles. Go round 90 degrees, so that the tree is between you and the OHL, and you won't see many of the cuts, and you won't the pole holding the lines up for the tree either. Its not supossed to look pretty, its supposed to ensure an appropriate clearance from the line, and its also doing a great job of drawing attention to the lines by screaming "stay away from these wires because if you get your ali ladder them, you are a gonner" to anyone who will look. Your tree won't, or shouldn't ever get to look normal again....... If it were mine I would certainly look towards having it removed.

I don't mind delivery charges, but I really hate where the charge is hidden deep in the website, and you can't find it out untill you are in the latter stages of paying. Keep 'em up front, it stops the charges feeling like a sharp practice ripoff Have an "orders above £~~ are free" as your customers feel like thay are getting something for nothing (and it encourages them to spend more)

How would you go about getting into a conifer with no crotch?
Bolt replied to YoGi_93's topic in Climbers talk
What?, no crotch at all! That sounds like a nasty injury. After recovering from that i'm not sure I would want to get into a conifer, but if I really did, I guess I would just pull myself up using my arms.... -
Do you get autoglass adverts on telly? God, they are annoying on the radio. Bad actors pretending to be technicians who are bad at acting. and then there is the bit where "autoglass repair, auto glass replayssssssss.

Congratulations to you all. Glad to see the little one has your taste in hats :-) Hope your good lady has a speedy recovery.

It really seem to be a bit lame at 1:22, don't you think? Reminds me a bit too much of my 338xp as it struggles through the upright sections.
-
you have been pipped... http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/video-forum/27853-has-been-posted-new-husky-vid.html and http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/general-chat/27772-t540xp.html I wouldn't worry though, at least it wasn't a pair of chaps climing to the very to of a reaaly tall transmission mast :-)

I also saw this... I notice that they don't race them head to head...........I wonder why not Another Husqvarna arb-disaster on the way I fear
-
I, on the other hand, can think of a few farmers who would be up for doing that..... They do, after all... spend a fair bit of time on their own Drink lots of beer act stupid when they meet up. what they don't tend to do though is chew on bits of grass sit under haystacks say proooooooper job.

Looks great, and I can hear it now... "Hello Mr Tennant, you know that new defender I just got, well - I popped out one of the headlights lenses whilst winching down in the woods - do you have any in stock?...........No?.................can you get one in, its the drivers side - oh, and how much are they, £40? ...........ewwwwwww £400!" Probably best for supermarket shopping and inner-city drug dealers.

I have been running one for a few weeks now...... I got it from a nice chap on ebay. Balance..... Power........ Performance....... It's unbelieveable.

I my experiance it isn't worth Jack. The last one I took down went for logs (about 10 years ago though). One bloke, who had been pestering and pleading for walnut for months ("I'll pay you a top price, bla-bla-bla") gave us a couple of quid as (it turned out) he "only needed a slither" for wood turning. This didn't supprise us at the time, as it's what always happens.

Only 'blessed' Max Clifford (a thereby lies the problem).

The correct term (in the interest of education) is Mothering Sunday (not mothers day - geeee, you lot are godless ) So I says to my misses when she woke up "I suggest you get up and do some mothering" ha ha. (yeah, like hell I did, I scampered around like a right house elf at first light getting all the little ones sorted )
-
really though, why are you still up at this time of night!!!??
Bolt replied to Chris Gagen's topic in The Lounge
DVD box sets are what you need to entertain you throught those long hours...... Red Dwarf...... Spaced.......... Blackadder........ ahhhhh, the list goes on! I (or should I say WE) worked through the lot. Amazing how quick it goes from 10/10 annoyance when they refuse to settle, to 10/10 love when they nod off :-) Keep smilin...... -
My project to help you and arboriculture
Bolt replied to Tony Croft aka hamadryad's topic in General chat
How are you doing Dave? Still on the mend I hope? -
Is she still around, I thought she had died...... O no, I'm getting confused, that was Bernard Matthews.
-
God, you are right I feel such a fool. And the two up the top are just typical landrover dodgy window seals
-
come on chaps - man up...... its ok to watch it if you like it, there is no need to blame it on yor sis, or the wife :-)
-
Now here is a quality cut-n-shut.... Before, boring 110 tipper... after, quality 90 tipper... Nice.
-
You have to work on you cuttin' and pastin' mate only 6/10 for effort.

I borrowed a stihl electric for the same reason (I am not really that used to having neighbours). Anyway, it was really noisy, and not a nice noise either - but that annoying electric whine. Stopped using it and went bach to using the Husky 338 (after all, it sounds like a foodmixer, and its no use for anything else...)
-
Of course now you have to put up with crud ads on the radio in-stead-of. On planet rock, for instance, there is one that has a load of people with fake local accents saying place names. god, that is bad. dont know what thet product is tho as i always it turn off about "Dipperton"

NPTC CS0 & 31 - best centre in Plymouth / Devon
Bolt replied to TimberCutterDartmoor's topic in Training & education
Not sure about the better training centres, as you only have the few usual suspects to choose from.... Lynher at Gunnislake. Kensey at Launceston. I suppose there is Bicton in Mid-Devon, and one whose name I forget near Camborne. You know of any more? If I had to choose, I would go for Lynher (but only because I used to work for them) Or kingswood (but they are in Kent ). I am sure you know pretty much all of this already though... Is there an Ulterior motive to your question? A little drip feeding going on, maybe
