  1. Had a site like that once, where I learnt the art of whinging, also where I learnt not to get snotty with a saw and push it away, took me ten minutes to get the bloody thing out from where it ended up
  2. Where is Rubber Duckie Tait? I want an update on the convoy Found him now, looks as if he had fun, great pictures Mr Tait 😎
  3. Always knew you were an old trucker at heart, have fun 🤠
  4. Apologies for my gibberish in your thread JDon, I don't mean any harm
  5. Because if you went and told them that you were only there for the spotted dick and custard, they would revoke your dbs cert.
  6. Another reason I gave up Arb (not being good enough and interaction with customers - I'm not a people person) was, we had a job at a local Centre Parks, they wanted us there at 04:00 (it was summer and daylight) but no saws to be used until 09:00, only hand saws. I would much prefer using a chainsaw to fell as soon as dawn breaks, to dangling 60ft above a lake with a silky saw cutting branches and every time you look down you see perfectly working saws sitting in the back of the truck.
  7. I'm getting there, numbers 3,4,7,10 and 12 are embedded, Number 6 might explain my attendance in the Arbtalk morning register thread
  8. Can;t start earlier, have to gently ease into the day, like getting into a bath that's nice and hot
  9. Afternoon, I can confirm we had both a morning and weather here this morning
  10. Hope your plan goes better than the ones I make
  11. Somewhere, about now, it's morning. I just live in the wrong place
  12. 3 dimension chopsticks at seventy foot. Good luck
  13. Working today and heard Baker Street playing near by, got home and dug up these, I'd not heard them for a while.
  14. Back again I'm just like that annoying relative that turns up just when you thought he was dead
  15. Don't apologise for being late, that's as bad as admitting it. Do what I do, ignore the time and just turn up when you want 😁
  16. Most of the companies/organisations I've worked for had a zero tolerance policy on drugs, with random drugs and alcohol testing carried out, if caught straight dismissal
  17. Lol, ok. I have worked with a couple of climbers that made the job look as if they were born to do it. I could have dangled off a rope for decades and still never been able to work that smoothly, hence why I did what I enjoyed most, felling
  18. Some are magnificent, worked with a few prima donnas as well. Had a determined bloke walk in to find one of the cutters (not me) and serve some papers on him. Bloke could still be walking around in there somewhere, fairly sure he never found who he was looking for.
  19. Why I never went further into arb, I must of been doing everything wrong, I just ended up with cramp and discomfort rather than char and biccies
