    A little swim in a beck and walked round the boundary of 90ac of fell land. Whatever that is!

    Ebay? I'm actually not joking. A friend of mine I fish with met his wife because her mates auctioned a date with her on ebay! Married 6 years, two kids and his has the banter that she cost £34 or something!

    Arb aid kit! If not the bandage rather than the powder. Bandages dont go away

    Why is you're handbag above the front wheel?

    Sounds an excellent set up for minimum impact work (horse as well?), competative towards too cheap I think on cost depending where abouts you are. £100 a day for a decent cutter (x2) means your machine is worth a hundred too? I wouldn't have thought you could do it at that price, but you have obviously done your homework!

    24-26mpg out of a average out of the 90 here, cruising/rattling at 55-60mph. Astra diesel of my mates is getting 62 he reckons

    Have you mastered the head flick, or do you go for the slow, top gun esq. thing?
  11. Sam Thompson
    Yup

    I'm sure it's fantastic, but would it hurt to put the Y and the O on "u"? It really makes me cringe

    Looking for either soft or hard cord to be bought roadside. Between 10-20t I think. Cheers,

    Has anyone got a defender dog guard to fit a 90 hardtop kicking about? Ideally in the north west/Cumbria/South-West Scotland...

    A handy tip for the larsen fellow who is targeting a pair. If you catch the cock of a pair, the hen will think about what has happened to her mate. She leaves the nest and goes to find the trap, and if the cock is in it, not much is going to make her go in and get caught. But... if she misses her mate, flies off the nest and finds the trap and a different crow in it, thats her ready to get the handbags out and give it a good biff in the chops. There's more ways of working a trap than boiling an egg, but that seems to work at the moment!

    It's a cool video, he's called bareroots on here

    Just been wondering if you had a 4 wheel drive cat... or someone knicked your cat out of your truck. Took me ages to work out it was a converter. Bed time.

    Depending on your experience, productivity and site thats good or average. What tonnage are you cutting per day? Tonnage rate is fine on a nice site, but un-workable on some.

    Ditto after a play with one the other week. Fantastic. 346 is good. It's like a range rover sport. Your happy with it until you see someone in a proper range rover (550), then you kick yourself.

    BSA bolt action four ten. From frogs to cows - it drops them all!

    Tone although I get only understand about 30% of what you post I find it all interesting, it would be a loss to the forum if you stopped posting things like the above. However I wouldn't want you to go drilling into people's trees without permission on our behalf The amateur botanist and scientist has been crucial so far in history, long may it continue.

    You couldn't be more wrong I don't think... There is no way that implementing a CORGI like system would affect the industry. I think we have to just accept that like everyone else there will always be "cowboy" and always be "professional" operations.

    What stops an AA approved firm hiring some 14 year old with a ryobi to do a pruning job?

    My next door neighbour has about 6 or 7 classic British sports cars including one of those - it's a hell of a sound to hear when your eating your weetabix and he roars off down the lane. He has an Austin 3000 too which sounds and looks fantastic
