    When I was taking exams I could not find a decent winter twig ident book, or fungi ident book with decent pictures and explanation of decay relevant to just trees.

    Fill a garden rubbish bag (thicker than bin bag) with soft stuff and wedge it right up there.

    I bet the old boy was an engineer. I looked at a Silver birch for a retired engineer that had Honey fungus, (the tree not the engineer). He had researched Honey fungus thoroughly and bought enough armillatox to fill a swimming pool with. The quote was accepted. When I went to take the tree down he had completely excavated, undermined, and severed every single root because he wanted the lot gone. The tree had an exposed root ball basically. I aired my concerns about the stability issue the tree now faced. He explained that as he was an engineer the tree was completely safe to climb. Ooooookaaaay. So if I undermined a bridges foundations it would still be safe to cross because I am a tree surgeon????

    The Astra van is good. Driving non conservatively I got 500 miles to the tank. Plenty of room in back for kit and some have a fold down bench seat in the back.

    No heave around the root plate, does the owner know when it gave up the ghost? Give it the old kick test with a funkin' sledge hammer, do your usual pre climb inspection, rope into something chunky, make sure all your saws are sharp, and concentrate Jedi! Good luck clearing up. Looks like 2 loads of rakings, saw dust, and smashed to pieces dead wood that won't go through the chipper.

    I was taking a scenic route the other day in the car and found myself driving down a dead straight road lined with Wellingtonias at least 90' tall and at least 160 in total. I only know this because I was in such awe I had to google map it and find out!! Lo and behold the road is called Wellingtonia Avenue B3348!! Any one else know of some big funky tree stuff like this??

    Each to their own, when they're not working with me. Chainsaw trousers will help protect you from your saw. But when climbing over branches and kneeling on uneven rough surfaces they offer more comfort than a pair of jeans! Funny how people wear goggles and not trousers though, why don't they just close their eye's or look the other way when cutting????

    During the exam how many double entendres did you make. I believe there was extra marks for such comments as, serious visible burring and abrasions on the ring.

    Well I got a caning at the Tech Cert refresher course for even thinking about reducing a heavy limb, to reduce leverage and end weight, that was growing across a drive way. Why do tree officers agree to reductions then? Thin, fell, or leave. Sometimes a jolly good crown clean will do.

    Should have Maveric and Goose written on them. Slam the chain brakes on and he'll fly right by!

    My 4 year old son has one of those mini diggers, he eats his dinner with the same attachment. I keep telling him knives and forks are the tools for the job but he won't have it!

    Comfortable, light, haven't slipped off my boot yet! Mine came with longer gaffs than I would normaly like. Anyone know if you can get smaller one's?

    Jokes???

    bumble B replied to brownie1964's topic in The Lounge

    An aeroplane has just arrived at New York airport from London. The captain has just done his speech to the passengers and has forgotten to turn the mic off. His co-pilot says "Jim what's the first thing you are going to do in New York"? Jim says "first I will have that massive **** I have been holding in since half way across the Atlantic, then I will shag that new air hostess with the big tits"! The new hostess and all the passengers heard this, the hostess goes steaming towards the cockpit to confront the captain but trips over an old lady's hand luggage which sends her flying. The old lady leans forward and says to the stewardess "There's no need to rush dear, he has to have a massive **** first"!

    Creatine

    bumble B replied to Mark Bolam's topic in General chat

    Creatine reduces recovery time. You might be feeling good not listening to your bod' and overdoing it a tad. Muscle strength is alot quicker to gain than strength of tendons. Muscles=months tendons=years. Try a good diet and a black coffee before training it's cheaper.

    Zma?

    bumble B replied to Climber85's topic in General chat

    ZMA gives better quality sleep ie deep sleep so that's why you get funky dreams. I find because of the good deep sleep it is hard to wake up early, nothing new there.

    Well said. Go the extra mile on the day but get paid for it you, bet the guy giving you the work is. Your wage should reflect your experience.
