  1. It's always hard to tell from pics mate from the pics I would go with rich looks 15-20 but it is hard to tell. Just remember at least your tree looks natural and it is a skill being able to get out to the tips doing sympathetic pruning:thumbup: and the answer to your question I do in both ways have I took too much off? Or not enough? Because every customer is different:001_smile:
  2. Why not set up a argument/drunk area where we can argue and embarrass ourselves and the people who don't want to read it don't have to:001_tt2:
  3. Haha he's got it good by the sounds of it:thumbup: one of my bairns already has an eye for the lasses, he crys at blokes but as soon as a lass talks to him he's all smiles and giggles

It was just gathering dust.I dont own a telescope, but its something Im thinking of looking into.Due to inflation, balloons are going up.Me and my best friend reverse our cars everywhere together.We go back a long way.I could talk about asphyxiation till I'm blue in the face.Since starting my new gardening tool business I've been raking it in.Gran's always up for a laugh, so for a bit of a practical joke, I put her walking stick out of her reach... I just can't believe she fell for it.I've just returned from outer space.

  5. Haha I can imagine mate. I'm already taking notice around the town of who has daughters my boys so I can see who to expect at my door in a few year:lol:

  7. Cheers Brian tell you what mate always said I would only have two kids and was over the moon having too boys but I bet it's special having a girl, I bet I try for a girl and end up with two haha
  8. Hope so mate appreciate that same to you. The boys are great cheers back to normal now just started feeding them proper food it's a bit messy haha
  9. Sad but good haha
  10. I know mate while it's there I'm getting stuck in and not spending you never know when it will run out then the good months cover the bad ones.it's our first year in business and most our work has been 60 day payment terms so that's been good practise for having no money:lol:
  11. The Priest at the church near mine killed 5 people at 12 midnight on Christmas Eve last year.He was a Mass Murderer.
  12. Were working the next 21 days up to now have contract work what needs doing and private work has started coming in we daren't let either down cos you know what tree work is like feast or famine:001_rolleyes: well for me anyway:001_smile:
  13. Thems the jokes I like haha
  14. Hi Len sorry to derail but just wondering if you've been kicked up the arse recently? haha that's made my night seeing your name and avatar.
  15. Ever since she fell pregnant my wife has really objected to the noise coming from the brothel downstairs.Must be the whore moans. I have a bad taste in sad jokes I reckon my jokes might spoil this thread too haha
  16. Got in a fight with a towel today.Wiped the floor with it.
  17. NEWS: Burglar falls inside combine harvester while on the run from police.He will be released on bail.
  18. Aye them harvesters are awesome aren't they though we could never compete. One of my old bosses used to work the woods but it was mainly large oak trees so it needed lads to fell them but I would imagine buying the wood to work on would be expensive and maybe on a need to know basis. I would reckon arb work would be easier to make money at and you could do other stuff too fencing, turfing or whatever mate.
  19. My knowledge of forestry is v limited but I think they seem to get the harvesters in and they have lads to fell the big trees or roadside I think
  20. That's the spirit mate:thumbup:
  21. Thats good advice mate I was too scared for ages then just forced myself. It's like having kids there is no good time or bad time and if your not ready you will adapt and you already have more gear than some companies I know:thumbup: You can sub yourself out with your gear and learn from more experienced people mate use people for knowledge mate:001_smile:
  22. Try and save for kit at the start too (sounds like you already have) so you don't have too many bills to worry about while work is quiet and as brian says start with small equipment and through time you will know what your business needs, I wanted all sorts of stuff but realized now I would never use them enough. Good luck mate.
  23. Should of been a bit more specific sorry Swinny. The job is based in County Durham Cheers.
  24. As the title says there is a job opportunity for someone in the north east. A good friend of mine is advertising for someone. He covers a variety of work arb/landscape, he is looking for someone with relevant arb tickets who has a driving license,someone who can work away from home at times and someone who can think for themselves and get stuck in. He's runs a small business which is expanding and he is a good lad who is a good laugh and a fair bloke. Anyone interested pm me your details and number and he will get in touch cheers Lawrence.
  25. I'd have more kids but I want to give them a good life so money and the time I can spend with them limits me trouble is with the dole warriors they get pressuredto go back to work so they have another kid for us to pay for. I know a lass who was expected back to work so had another to an unknown father. It's only the people who actually pay for their own children that only have a couple and as I posted earlier in this thread I've moved into a new build estate and the biggest houses with garages on the side are rented out to dole warriors makes me sick! If we were to limit the amount of kids per family it should be the type of family and you should earn the right to give a child a life with an upbringing meaning they will contribute to society not scrounge from it.
