    Impressive. It is indeed. Playing the matador in Blood and sand, cracking film about bullfighting, he said that although people overlooked it - his best and favorite role. The cocktail (Whisky, blood orange juice and a couple of other bits) he concocted during the filming is one of my top drinks, and also called a blood and sand.

    Haha, real cool guy, but not an actor when I think about it, just looked like him. Alright, another old one.

    You know what they say. I man calls you a horse and you punch him in the mouth. A different man calls you a horse, and you call him a bar-steward. A third man calls you a horse, and well, maybe its time to buy a saddle Happy 40th mate .

    Its not easy work and the money is bad, but I'd rather cut than do that climbing rubbish! I'm mainly working small hardwood woodland patches, and bigger stuff when I can. Its alright

    I hope he gets through as above - thoughts are with you, its amazing what they can do these days. I have been dyslexic forever, I got a lot of help from a teacher at primary school, his final words to me where "Just read, it doesn't matter whether it is the Beano or The Quran". Read them both by the time I was thirteen On paper it is probably the fact that I was the under 18 all England archery champion from 12-15.

    Serious love for the old boy "When I left the navy for this job-which-isn't-a-job I was commander of a frigate, since that day I have spent my life walking 4 steps behind her god awful hats"

    I was only joking chief, your boats are pretty top too these days - the lough boats are second to non.

    Just took all the skin off it. Hurt like a female dog for weeks, as well as the bandage.

    True. However I read somewhere that due to lower levels of something () it produces less tar than other green woods, and less than some seasoned. This may be very wrong, thinking about it. If it is I will eat my hat. But the book seemed good

    Shot hundreds, probably thousands of squirrels foxes and rabbits and have never killed anything I didn't want to. I don't have an issue with snaring, I've done and do my fair share, but it is not 100% "clean", far from it. I too know the ubiquitous "old boys" that have taught me snaring. I'd like to see anyone set yan that is completely sure not to kill anything that trips it. Sam, I was once running through one of my woods and tripped over, catching my nose in a snare, it wasn't pretty and I have never been a fan since
  18. Sam Thompson
    Nope.

    But high chance of killing non target species.

    Like the Titanic

    Unless they are misinformed, many of the people who ring me about wood think they know everything, and actually know very little.

    I don't doubt the usefulness, I'm sure it will pay for itself in the long run, but its just a lot of money for someone to lash out unless you have a guaranteed income that you would not get without it.

    Jesus mate, how much are you going to spend to get a £60-£100 a day job? Doing artic licenses is stupid money, unless the employer is willing to pay for them.
  24. Sam Thompson
    I said I'de have it off you and I will, just for the right money

    Part of me does mate! But Im really after a Stihl or Husky (because Im generic like that!)
