  1. Came up with this nifty idea a while back and thought Id put on a few pictures and gain abit of feed back. Im looking for ideas on a brand name, maybe a slogan and even if it takes off one or two arbs to act as models/sales reps. I doubt the benefits need to be pointed out as im sure they are more than obvious to all of us that are used to the heavy clumbersom restricting clothing that we all struggle with on a daily basis. Maybe if it goes global Id take on a partner but then Im just in the early stages so not going to run b4 I can walk.
  2. Yep they get my vote If your not happy run it past Patrick at multi tip he's s top chap
  3. Washing powder works for me
  4. A radio controlled aeroplane, horse shoes, shears saws and secateurs. Weirdest find was when working at a night club I spotted a bloke at 3 am who had climbed 40ft up a poplar tree trying to get a signal on his mobile to call a cab.
  5. Cheers Not sure if I would ever get back into the mobile patrols and static guard I used the dog for, night clubs private functions and a couple of other ideas are more my thing.
  6. Did the same in my late teens early twentys had my own alsation dog. Dropped it all but going to get my ticket as a mate runs the doors on a few of the local pubs and works been quiet.
  7. Cant seem to get in chat with the s3 any ideas ?
  8. I converted a 25 I had a few years back, might be worth seeing if the same can be done with the 26.
  9. A pint of ice cold larger shandy
  10. Removed a large thicket or hawthorne once with bags or dog doughnuts hanging like little wrapped chocolate babies dropped by clumsy stalks on chocolate baby delivery duties. Once shiton twice shy
  11. A mate bought 5 litres of stihl chain oil off eBay last week and it to was runny, according to the seller its normal. As for the bits I aint got a clue
  12. Stingham & Chargemoore
  13. Women are snakes with tits.
  14. Stainless or aluminium
  15. I stripped mine down yesterday and found that not all the husky low smoke is burning and a sticky residue was starting to build up on the exhaust. I recon as with the 017 &018s making sure the exhaust is clean will be a good starting point if the 150s start to play as we all rack up the hours.
  16. The problem is all trades are quiet so most are thinking along the same lines. Like you I have specialized but now thinking of going back to door work to bolster my income, also looking at tools and equipment thats not paying its way with the view of moving it on. The grass root problem with our trade is the tools we run with nowadays compaired to 25 years ago mean were doing twice as much a day for the same money, higher running costs and all the add on s like the net mobiles insurance keeping tickets up to date and ppe are all an added drain.
  17. Thats a cracking picture Mick
  18. Im booked bringing the kids and the controller, aswell as a selection of ales.going to be nice to put faces to names.
  19. I have to charge for services like that:D
  20. Well you know where I live now so if your passing drop in and Ill make you a cuppa.
  21. No thanks Tractorboy, Ted drove me last time he was over and Im still getting flash backs and nightmares.
  22. Neither of the vans have been out today,decided to extend my weeks holiday to 2, things are quiet down here atm, hence why im out shooting rats.
  23. Ill be there Ted and might even bring my ELH so we can have a dual with 2 pole saws at full extension, one hand behind our backs Show these younge lads with dodgy shoulders what they,re missing
