Ah I see what your doing there. By using re-cycled materials your lowering your carbon foot-print, therefor being much kinder to the earth Sam If it does what you want... who cares what it looks like?

Without hot-tub I know a few near Ullapool, if your interested drop me a PM Sam

Thats a nice trailer logstore Sam

Thanks Chris! Will ring in the morning Sam

Ahh right, sorry looks like I had the wrong end of the wrong stick 100% Aggreement Sam

I think people should make up their own minds though. Doesnt that put you on the same level as the "God Squad" who brianwash their children? Im not getting at you bud. Im just curious. Sam

Jesus, and there was me thinking that this was a forum for lumberjacks Im not that fussed how we got here, I like to think there is a "something" though A Great Spirit if you like. I think there might also be a Bearwalker. But It doesnt bug me much that I dont know. My Grandfarther used to tell me the story of how the Dragonfly learned to fly. He believed the story, and yet he belived in his God too. Chin Chin, Sam

Yeah. Anyone know how to get yourself a small fortune? 1. Have a large fortune 2. Buy a horse & Associated clobba BINGO one small fortune! Yeah I hate them, best one is in a tin

Any one know where I could get the above in a 13/14 (48/49 in hurdy-gurdy money)? Best bet seems to be Bushwear (I buy a lot of stalking kit from them) but I am loathed to pay £190 because I have proper sized feet compared to the £140 I have seen for size 11, me being from Yorkshire I dont understand how an extra inch of toe costs that much more! Sam

Ouch! Ill stick too making a fool out of myself with pretty girls! Although that can be quite dangerous too... Sam

Im going to be a ponce and say proper Mojito, made with Habana Club I spent 8 weeks in Cuba two years ago, and came back with an appreciation for Havana Club Romeo Y Julieta Churchills & Strong Coffee. Dark & Stormys are also very nice. Other than that proper peaty single malt Sam

2 Iphones in 2 months... erm no they dont Get a HTC, I have had one for nealry 3 months - and its brilliant. You know what the best Iphone App is? Phonebox finder Sam

Suprised the Mink arent using it, they seem to inhabit everything round here Oh and it looks rather brilliant if you ask me. Sam

An estate I know near Loch Sheil. Lots of trees, lots of deer, few grouse and enough Cappercaillie. Job? Factor (Come deer manager/forester), with an emphasis on conservation of the Caps, deer and the Blackgrouse, with maybe scope to re-plant back to completely Callidonian forest . Sorted. And hopefully, it might just happen. Sam

Ahh maybe!

Ahh too quick for me Tony Sam

Ernest Hemmingway - On Blue Water. I think. Sam

Ah lovely, I have a friend who owes me a moose (long story) who lives in Norway, looks like fun, I have shot pigs in dorset and loved it, I dont fancy driven much though. Sam

I just thought - wow Picture three has to be entered into the competion for an Arbtalk Logo! The true side of tree work... Cool stuff anyways Sam

Ah I thought this was how to annoy Google! Mine did this a while ago ... Sam

Its true!

LOL - Laugh Out Loud IMHO - In My Humble Opinion etc, You could go on for ever Sam

*** MAN RULES *** 1. OPENING JARS - She's struggling. You take it from her hands, open it effortlessly and pretend she loosened it for you. She didn't. Jars are men's work. 2. CALLING SOMEONE 'SON' - Especially policeman but even saying it to kids makes you the man. 3. DOING A PROPER SLIDE TACKLE - Beckham free kicks - camp. A Stuart Pearce tackle is the pinnacle of the game, simultaneously winning the ball and crippling the man. Magic. 4. SHARPENING A PENCIL WITH A STANLEY KNIFE - Blunt, is it? Hand it here love. No, I don't need a sharpener, I've got a knife thanks! 5. GOING TO THE TIP - A manly act which combines driving, lifting and - as you thrillingly drop your rubbish into another huge pile of other rubbish - noisy destruction. 6. DRINKING UP - Specifically, rising from the table, slinging your coat on and downing two thirds of a pint in one fluid movement. Then nodding towards the door, saying, "Let's go" and striding out while everyone else struggles to catch up with you. You're hard. 7. HAVING A THIN BIT OF WOOD - in the shed, solely to stir paint with. 8. HAVING A SCAR - Ideally it'll be a facial knife wound, but even an iron burn on the wrist is good. "Ooh, did it hurt". "Nah". 9. HAVING A HANGOVER AND THICK STUBBLE - When birds have been partying they just whinge. You on the other hand have physical evidence of your hardness, sprouting from your face. "Big night?" Grr, what does it look like. 10. USING POWER TOOLS - Slightly more powerful than you need or can safely handle. Pneumatic drilling while smoking a fag? Superb. 11. ARRIVING IN A PUB LATE - And everyone cheers you. It doesn't mean you're popular, it just means your mates are drunk However, the rest of the pub doesn't know that. 12. NOT WATCHING YOUR WEIGHT - Fat is a feminist issue, apparently. Brilliant. Pass the pork scratchings. 13. CARVING THE ROAST - And saying "are you a leg or breast man?" to the blokes and "do you want stuffing?" to the women. Congratulations, you are now your dad. 14. WINKING - Turns women to putty. Doesn't it? 15. TEST SWINGING HAMMERS - Ideally, B&Q would have little changing rooms with mirrors so you could see how rugged you look with any DIY item. Until then, we'll make do with the aisles. 16. TAKING OUT 200 POUNDS FROM A CASHPOINT - Okay, so its for paying the plumber later but with that much cash you feel like a mafia don. The only thing better is peeling notes off the roll later. 17. PHONE CALLS THAT LAST LESS THAN A MINUTE - Unlike birds, we get straight to the point. "Alright? Yep. Drink? Red lion? George, it is then. Seven. See ya." 18. PARALLEL PARKING - Bosh, straight in. First time. Can Schumacher do that? No, because his cars got no reverse gear which, technically, makes you the worlds best driver. 19. HAVING EARNED THAT PINT - Since the dawn of time, men have toiled in the fields in blistering heat. Why? So, when it's over we can stand there in silence, surveying our work with one hand resting on the beer gut while the other nurses a foaming jug of ale. Aaaah. 20. HAVING SOMETHING PROPERLY WRONG WITH YOU - Especially if you didn't make a fuss. "Why was I off, nothing much, just a brain haemorrhage". 21. KNOWING WHICH SCREWDRIVER IS WHICH - "A Phillips? For that? Are you mad, bint?" 22. TAKING A NEWSPAPER INTO THE LOO - A visual code that says that's right, I'm going in there for a huge, long man-sized poo. Sam

Can... worms... Havent used Huskys enough to say, but I do like the ones I have used. Stihl a Stihl fan though Sam
