  1. I can buy the ton builders bags mixed but mostly soft wood for £35 and there is a piles of them sale.
  2. Am no Mog expert but am going to say not a chance is it worth 50k, I would say your mate got a bit excited when he was telling you all about it.
  3. ......
  4. Cut from chainsaw, ie during sharping not use. Sent from my aye phone using Tapatalk
  5. Just buy a box of tacho chart and fill them out manually on the back of them. That way it would be neat and tidy and all the spaces are there for date reg and stuff. Sent from my aye phone using Tapatalk
  6. Yes and i agreed with you, but if you don't want to wear them for whatever reason you come up with you don't have to. Sent from my aye phone using Tapatalk
  7. The new guidelines says you should where them not that you have to wear them. Sent from my aye phone using Tapatalk
  8. I think it was a good enough job secondly if I could get anyway with not wearing certain PPE I would not wear it, and I know plenty of other that think the same. And as for the super safety conscious attitude, that's why there is so many crazy unnecessary law rules and regulations regarding any type of manual work in the UK. Even our prime minister admitted it at his conference this week. And I quote "Britannia never ruled the waves with it's armband on" He was referring to health and safety and red tape in passing new laws in parliament.
  9. I agree with all that and felt just the same as you. BUT when you sit down and think long and hard about what you really need your work vehicle to do then landrover is one of the better ways to go imo. And I have had loads of shoguns there biggest fault is if the derv pump goes you need 2kto fix it.
  10. Your lucky you got a letter all I got was a phone call. You will find when you have completed the course that yes you learned some bits and pieces, but all in all for what it costs it is a complete rip off and just another box ticking exercise, IMO of course but a sure others will agree.
  11. You only need gloves for the 30 not the 31 they are only advisory to wear.
  12. Here is another way to look at it, when I lived Scotland the local grave was mostly frequented by drug abusers and drinkers. So in that respect dogs where were not high up the grave yard problem list.
  13. I am in the middle of writing a review for you mr bullman, was going to message you the night you posted and ask you a question. No need to now as I have found the answer. You would think you would have loads of interest as there's plenty got plenty to say any other time regarding gear. Sent from my aye phone using Tapatalk
  14. That's it, yes the money is coming from the bill payers as the average bill is 25% more expensive than the mainland. Plus it is state funded so in a way your paying twice. As you say there's plenty of work you see them everywhere. Sent from my aye phone using Tapatalk
  15. There is loads of subbys at it, but it's all for the NIE but there changing or changed there name to something like power systems or something. Sent from my aye phone using Tapatalk
  16. Was going to post that the other day, interesting yes but can't seem the get it's point. Wonder what it would be like to drive. Sent from my aye phone using Tapatalk
  17. That would be my worry and a big one at that. Sent from my aye phone using Tapatalk
  18. Am all for respect in all aspects of life Dean and it is lacking badly I think everywhere. But it has been pointed out the some graveyards are hardly ever accessed and they can be a bit unkept at times. That's some not all, but dog walking shouldn't be banned just should be kept on leads. And common sense should prevail as far as letting a dog piss on anyones headstone. It's just a shame that it seems there is a glut of scumbags own dogs, and every town in the country has them and it's them that ruin it for the good owners.
  19. Try and not let your emotions run wild. Or you will start to sound like this, a good example [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aBCkm9-LvRg]Burn the Flag - YouTube[/ame]
  20. There is a few listed on google here is one try them. Newcastle upon Tyne Coal and smokeless fuel merchants and distributors, wholesale of solid, liquid and gaseous fuels and related products
  21. Oh no, not good for the bar or chain but the saw will live. Lesson learnt don't lend people unless trusted your gear. As they will never have the same love for it as you do if any at all.
  22. If I personally was going to my child's grave with flowers and god forbid I will ever need to. And saw a dog owner allow his dog to piss while on a lead I would kick his and the dogs hole. If the dog was off the lead then the owner would be told to have a bit of respect. And have more sense, then it all depends who is walking the dog if it was a kid then sometimes they just don't think. There is no harm IMO in walking your dog in a graveyard as long as you are responsible it's a public place after all.
  23. No problem with people walking there dogs anywhere i have two and enjoy walking them everyday. It is wrong when they don't pick up after them that was more my point.
  24. That's just wrong in ever sense, it wouldn't happen over here they would go nuts. Mind you every now and then there is a bit of headstone wreaking goes on.
  25. Thanks for that, couldn't download from there site this morning working fine now.
