  1. Exactly. Going back to DdRT is purgatory and it was obviously invented by a sadist! I hope no spiderjackers read this or there'll be another Arbtalk bun fight! 😂😂😂 Sent with my iPhone from me, to you!
  2. I wouldn't worry about it breaking down because of this oil mistake. It's a Landrover so it'll soon break down for no reason at all anyway! Sent with my iPhone from me, to you!
  3. Airstream. Because they are most comfortable on my feet. Sent with my iPhone from me, to you!
  4. Wow 43 posts already. I knew this topic would raise a stink!!!! Sorry. Sent with my iPhone from me, to you!
  5. Apparently my giant cup cake has had new icing (spark plug plug thingy) and is now just waiting for sprinkles (full throttle). Hooray! Sent with my iPhone from me, to you!
  6. I wonder how my giant cup cake is 'baking'? Sent with my iPhone from me, to you!
  7. This is what happened: I provided a quote and the client accepted by email. I replied with a work date and requested that a 'dog poo free corridor 10ft wide is cleared between the tree and garden gate please'. The client replied with 'What discount can you offer if I clear my dogs poo?' Oh how I laughed!! Sent with my iPhone from me, to you!
  8. Unless they give you a serious rash and the smell literally makes you puke, they don't need washing! Sent with my iPhone from me, to you!
  9. Now that would really worry me. I do domestic work so I'm always over Groundie, house, shed, greenhouse, etc. Sent with my iPhone from me, to you!
  10. I wondered the same Ger. But then I ascended a Cedar today, DdRT style and then found that it was actually easier to throw my rope as usual but instead of clipping it back to the bridge, I just chocked it up to the branch and ascended SRT style. So it was exactly the same process, throw rope, ascend to it, lanyard in, throw rope, ascend to it, etc etc. The thing that stood out for me was that it was slower to try it DdRT style and more work. Having said that, I'm on a HH which was designed for SRWP. To prove the point to myself I then tried a little work DdRT and oh my, it was awfully hard work and slow. I just can't do it that way any more, I guess the retraining is now complete! Sent with my iPhone from me, to you!
  11. I love it but I would prefer that they spent less money on each episode so that they could have more episodes. Oh, and more hotties in the crowd and everywhere really. Sent with my iPhone from me, to you!
  12. That's the only intelligent post on this thread. Mine was the stupidest, nearly. Sent with my iPhone from me, to you!
  13. I think that's tosh. Sorry. Employment suits some and not others. Sent with my iPhone from me, to you!
  14. Does she look good? Photos! Sent with my iPhone from me, to you!
  15. That looks really really good for me because after years on a Lockjack I love mechanicals. Really love my Hitch Hiker though. Sent with my iPhone from me, to you!
  16. Employ someone to kneel down for you. 😂 There are also other types of websites that promote such acts, apparently. 😜 Sent with my iPhone from me, to you!
  17. £200 - £1000 depending on how elaborate. Sent with my iPhone from me, to you!
  18. You're not asking for a Stihl product though. Sent with my iPhone from me, to you!
  19. So long as there is a tooth on each side, it has life in it. If both teeth are on the same side it's a perfect chain for carving curved things.
  20. When I'm using my 540t to prune a tree (the purpose for which it was designed) I find it hard to find a branch that is thick enough for a 5 minute cut!! Therefore after it stops spluttering from a cold start I rev it on full throttle until it sounds smooth, about 7 seconds, then get to work.
  21. Very nice. Sent with my iPhone from me, to you!
  22. I'll be 60 in 19 years but I reckon if I just buy more and more gear and gadgets climbing will get easier. Sent with my iPhone from me, to you!
  23. I don't fancy running my 540t through a log for FIVE minutes!! Sent with my iPhone from me, to you!
  24. I'm not sure if I can believe that because m Stihl dealer didn't tell me this when I asked him that question in Saturday. Hahahaha! Sent with my iPhone from me, to you!
  25. It seems that mine is the only one not to oil the bar. If my ageing MS200t blew tomorrow I'd replace it with a 540t, defo. Crack on aspen! Sent with my iPhone from me, to you!
