  1. On a fresh pair of arms I can go to over 13 sometimes 15 depends how controlled I am. Doing a lot of training just now so it's difficult to find a time when my arms are not fatigued. Sent from my aye phone using Tapatalk
  2. You are spot on Tom. My wife is a nurse in A&E and a busy one at that. And they are under the cosh because they are busy, but she has worked in Scotland, England and Wales and she tells me the if there wages came out of the someone's books and not the tax payers money there would be a lot more done, and she means a lot more work done. It's a simple case of who is watching the watchers they run themselves, there lazy from the top down FACT. Sent from my aye phone using Tapatalk
  3. Clarkson should be the PM Sent from my aye phone using Tapatalk
  4. Great as a tipper for the use of a chip box, I would have one for that reason. If I was just wanting to buy a 4x4 I would buy any of the so called jap crap, as it's warm comfy reliable normally better on fuel and they can't be stolen by 15 year with a screwdriver.

    It feels awkward and is a bit, just try and find a good foot hold and get your ankle cupped in somewhere so you feel secure and don't start to move while cutting. If you can try get set back away from where your cutting so you can get a good look at where the saw is going. As said just take your time but show confidence with the saw. The assessor knows your no expert or you wouldn't be there, he wants to see you work safely and decisively. Good luck mate hope it goes well.
  6. Good one Sent from my aye phone using Tapatalk
  7. Buntline and munter hitch will do no harm to have to. Your bowline and blake's hitch with a stopper knot is your 3 knot system, you can add stopper knots to both bowline and blake's if you want. Sent from my aye phone using Tapatalk
  8. Fry and Laurie was some of the funniest tv of it time. I think Stephen fry is brilliant at what he does, the fact that he is gay and was overweight shouldn't really come into it. Sent from my aye phone using Tapatalk
  9. Do you know for a fact that this was during course time? They could be just mucking at the end of the day. Sent from my aye phone using Tapatalk
  10. Looked at that last night mad looking colour. Sent from my aye phone using Tapatalk
  11. Been at both bit of trek up there Belfast is handy for you. I seen one of your vans down the docks one parked up forgot to say to you, but sure you will be working all over are you? Sent from my aye phone using Tapatalk
  12. He could be spot on there, it was that bad the other nite the waves sunk that boat. The wind was strong and cold, god bless those poor guys they still haven't found 3 of them. Sent from my aye phone using Tapatalk
  13. Do you send boys up to rob's? Sent from my aye phone using Tapatalk
  14. Like how we have 2 threads going that have turned into a love hate of the new saw. Sent from my aye phone using Tapatalk

  16. Not 100% sure Gareth think around 40 mins in, have you every been up to them? Sent from my aye phone using Tapatalk
  17. I had a play with one and thought it was light nice in hand and best of all new. To be honest I haven't a lot of experience of top handles, but have worked with a 200. Wouldn't want to buy a 200 just because some people don't like the change thing, and post bad comments because they heard from man that heard man the the 201 is dung.

  18. Some of the photos taken off them are very good. There very old world looking very strange. Sent from my aye phone using Tapatalk
  19. Used to work with a guy that wore woman's tights in the winter. He went into a cafe after being out at -7 and passed out at the counter while giving order. I blame the tights, how embarrassing would it have been if he had got carted off in the ambulance. Mind you no more embarrassing than when my wife cut the leathers of a biker in A&E after he came a cropper at a runabout, only to find the lacy thong and sussy's but that's for another thread.

  20. The house sits on a bend it's not a road with the house at the end. It is a small country road that runs between 2 other roads. Sent from my aye phone using Tapatalk
  21. They did say around 1 a year think there was around 200 to start with. Still not convinced about them competing with each other, I have seen beech as close to each other before and grow nice and tall. You could be right considering the amount of them. Sent from my aye phone using Tapatalk
  22. Are they not far to far spaced to be a hedge I first place? Sent from my aye phone using Tapatalk
  23. I would think so, in there very early days i think. They do seem an odd shape don't they. Sent from my aye phone using Tapatalk
  24. Shame we never got to see him do the complete climb up, bet it took sometime time. Surprised to see him climb at all. Sent from my aye phone using Tapatalk
  25. Did anyone see the "the dark hedges " near Armoy? 200 beeches at 300 year old. If you never seen get a look on iplayer, there are lovely pictures on google if you do a search. Sent from my aye phone using Tapatalk
