Superb darts , has mvg got the killer instinct I wonder .

Sky 401 get the darts on or failing that turn the bugger off like I did all day Christmas day and boxing day which I have to be honest I thoroughly enjoyed .

I work in parks and open spaces and I have to be fair 90% of the people pick it up but there's always the minority who dont , the worst part of my job ( on overtime ) is emptying the doggie bins especially after heavy rain and you really do get covered in splash backs but at least I'm getting paid time and a turd .

here is my woodburner in a victorian fire place and i made the surround out of a nice piece of oak , its superb.

Dad I will arrive tomorrow for several loads if that's ok ? .

Nice stoves , have a look on what stoves good reviews .

Stihl 026 or 260 we use both , the 026 had her 16 th birthday a few weeks ago .

Mountains of it , at the end of the day 90% of us in here are in the tree game so it should be free for us , crank it up and chuck it on , strip off to your y fronts and enjoy it .

Mine arrived today , fantastic service from Amazon.com .

I just bought the axe and hatchett for £70 all in from Amazon , superb deal , I was wondering why you buy a sharpener I was always led to believe a blunt axe was better for splitting timber .

Army goretex is incredible stuff in my opinion .

I've been burning some lovely dry elm but another that's really impressed me is hawthorn .

Some of you on here talk if us council workers dont pay tax or council tax , my comments yesterday were tongue in cheek , thats why i referred to going fishing , the good old days have long gone , cut backs are that hard now you would not believe , we have also had a pay freeze on our wages for the 3rd consecutive year , its all ok by me as long as there are no job cuts , on our department if you cut any more there would be no one left ..I can under stand peoples frustrations about councils under cutting them as you say but in many circumstances i can not see how , take our department every thing is leased so you have to pay for that , you have to pay the gang for doing the job 3 mens wages x £26 an hour , secetarys wage , supervisors wage , managers wage , councillors wage , there are just to many on costs in my opinion ..also if you were any good you should be winning these jobs i sense alot of bitterness of quite a few of you , dont blame the man /woman on the tools blame top brass in the ivory towers , good luck all , be safe .

£500 cash earned , no tax paid , no stamp and now off to the club to flitter it all on betting and drinking , Cmon Wales ........or i might just go fishing .

I work for the council and i am off into work this morning to borrow the van and chipper to do private jobs as you call it and make about £500 on top of my £21k plus £6k ( stand by ) plus £10k overtime all for leaning on a shovel as some of you put it , 20 years plus experience and passionate about trees and horticulture but has no idea about jack as some of you say , Carwyn Jones made a statement that if we dont find work we wont have any so basically get out there and fight for it , i will be fighting tooth and nail , good luck .

How about Elm and Alder as i have tons of it ?

carp fishing .

Elm and hand fulls of tulip tree wood chips , burning lovely and the smells amazing

Although they are on rougue traders they still get pleanty of work , not every body sees these programmes so they dont know , these guys also do drive ways , fencing , garden maintenance , building work , i know because they live in the same town as me .

Windy out here today as well , im on 24 hour stand by for the council and Tuesday night we had a fatality where a car crashed into a tree now things like that stop me moaning .

He could of gone and studied to become a teacher and had the time off that the teachers have , good luck to them , my wifes a teacher and the stress levels are very high .

My advice would be ask them if you can see the risk assesment sheet for that day and also what are there risk assesment criterias for there work , also if the operatives are trained in risk assesments and if so can you see all the relevant paper work , if you smell a rat ask them if you can see the risk assesment book for the last 6 months work , no council in this country saves them i would be very surprised if they did , good luck i will try and get some inside info for you tomorrow my mate works for a council insurance department i shall seek his advice.

Horrible stuff , the other 1 that always gets me is pyracantha .

Wrigleys chewing gum on a cracked fuel tank on an old 020 , worked perfect for a very long time .

I got the jotul f100 awsome wood burner , you wont be dissapointed .
