£10 from eBay. Is the solution elegant? Apart from its simplicity, not really. Does it work? Yes. Is a Petzl one better? Probably. Is a Petzl one at ten times the price ten times better? Probably not.

I’m a legally educated person and I completely agree.

I have a friend just down the river from you, Paul, who works as a trainer (different industry but similar gear and mileage costs and client bases I reckon). I’d be happy to put you in touch with him if you’d like some advice on the business side of things. PM if interested.

Very nice.

You bought the Land Rover. We did warn you.

When it’s good, it’s very good and when it’s bad, it’s horrid. Dad and I had to rip out all the carpets when mum’s last tenant went wrong and left us with a lot of cat shit, fleas, empty wine bottles and unpaid rent. I kept the fleas on personally for a couple of weeks afterwards.

The friendship isn’t over. It’ll keep you warm for a few years.

Does anyone hire out things to collect chip and logs
AHPP replied to Charleton Chips's topic in General chat
I don’t. Very rare that I get a job that anything gets taken away from but would be nice to have the option. I don’t know the difference between a skip that goes on a lorry as opposed to a skip that goes on a trailer but as long as you can walk into it, drive a skidsteer/mini digger into it and blow chip into it, I can’t see the downside. -

AHPP replied to Charleton Chips's topic in General chat
I (a)genuinely think it’s a good idea and (b)live fifteen minutes from you. A twenty or forty yard skip that could be left for a day or few at a job and filled with brash, logs and chip in my own time would be ideal. -
Kingwell are close to you and known for big equipment. Apologies for not actually answering your question.

If I had £50,000, I’d invest it in money bollocks and sit on the sofa. If I had £50,000 and was dead set on being a tree surgeon, I’d see what sort of finance I could get for buying the rest of a crane.

I’ve always thought roll on roll off skips that you can easily walk or drive into would be great for tree jobs. -
I think the x man uses Vs. He has a daily driver crane. On Instagram and probably YouTube.

It's not necessarily an acquaintance who done it but possibly someone who they've innocently remarked about something to. Or a postman, plumber, agronomist, vet, Tesco delivery, paperboy etc. It only takes one of them to carelessly and audibly blab down the pub that, "...so and so at X House Farm must be doing alright because he's got a nice car and he's taking the family to Majorca for three weeks tomorrow..." and it's out there. I don't allow photography in my house for this reason. As innocuous as a friend posting a picture on instagram of us playing Scrabble seems, god knows what the keen observer might spot in the background. I remain very sympathetic. Being done goes well beyond the stuff and money lost. I couldn't sleep with thousands of pounds of machinery sat around outside. My rusty van and a set of ladders in the garden is enough worry.

I've just bought some type C Yukons and am pretty happy with them. They're very soft, which I thought would make them drag but they're actually fine. The £150 type C Stihls I tried (I assume they're the economy model) were tougher material but didn't fit me. Too high in the crotch and/or too low in the waist.

That's gutting. They must have known you were gone for a while?

Petition for legislation for winter and all season tyres
AHPP replied to Big J's topic in The Lounge
Nothing will stop some people doing stupid stuff. There's already legislation that says it's illegal to crash into people and some people still do it. That's just life. But most people go about their lives not wronging others because they know they'll lose their house if they do. That's motivation. The point I've been trying to make is not to reach for the government to fix all problems (yours or others'). It just gives them the idea that they're capable and wanted, which they're not. If they did legislate on what you want them to, the odds are that tyre prices would go up, crashes would go up and your wife's breasts would shrink. -
Petition for legislation for winter and all season tyres
AHPP replied to Big J's topic in The Lounge
What I described doesn’t rely on common sense. It relies on wronged people suing those who wronged them and those who wrong themselves suffering the consequences. I couldn’t care less if people wear seatbelts. What business is it of mine if they want to take a risk of hurting themselves? Likewise, why should you care about people risking skidding. If they hit you, sue them and they won’t do it again. Someone earlier in the thread pointed out the sort of unforeseen consequence what you proposed could cause. Legislation having cobra effects is well known. It’s just a shit idea I’m afraid. Don’t worry. I’ve had loads too. -

How about people being responsible for their actions by law? Much like how it’s been since 1200 ish. -
Good luck.

Amazon delivered on the Sunday morning (31st December). I use shops where I can because I want to keep knowledge and stuff available locally but you can’t argue with one day delivery on New Year’s Eve. And they’re prolific tax avoiders, a major ideological bonus.
