Does anyone else have problems with SatrakUK today? My tracked chipper is immobilised and can I get the shower of shit at SatrakUK to answer my desperate phone calls? Hell as like can !! I’m that pissed off with them I think I may drive over to their office.

It did make me chuckle, I was also amazed that my reply to the post offering advice on getting together for a friendly beer vaporised into the ether also. [emoji173]️ to all fellow arborists.

That post has been shortened dramatically.[emoji23]peace and love.

Probably not, but it most possibly wasn’t peddled to them as a prime site with planning consent for a mobile trailer/ transit park. There was a bloke in our village who tried it on for years, alas he ended up in side for an unrelated fraud. These lot have a total and utter disregard for any laws or rules. Yes everyone should have a right to have a place called home, but the traveller community do not as a whole stay in one place, they are called travellers for an obvious reason ! Partaking in this way of life does have its benefits though, generally they are untraceable and so is your precious kit when the scum bags carry out their communities ancient right of taking whatever they want from you.Then whilst they’re at it trespassing on your farm land they do their utmost best to devoid it of wildlife with dogs (in particular their penchant for Hares) and make some illegal betting monies from it ( it’s worth a frigging fortune to them just like your tree kit is) We are over run by them at this time of year, on their way up to the thieves convention at Cumbria, it will be interesting to see if they carry out the age old traditions of doing whatever they wish and carry on regardless at Appleby? If they do I bet the spineless law enforcement agencies will be shit scared to do Owt, they’ll be too busy pulling over the Gorgio for either speeding or to see if their journey is absolutely necessary.They are a scourge to society. It’s stunts like this and leaving shit and rubbish on private and public open spaces that give them a bad name. Other than those few points I can’t say that I find them a problem at all.[emoji269][emoji237]( I cant find a caravan emoji, it’s probably been classified as racist.)

Blimey it’s been years since I did my qtra training, you were bitching between each other then, nowt much has change in the intervening years then. May be it would be better if you all got together and had a few beers and a nice chat about it all, in reality it’s not really worth getting so wound up is it? There’s a lot more pressing issues to worry about in these trying times. Peace and love gentlemen.[emoji481][emoji173]️

We recently went over to wharfedale to do some river clearance work, the dale is been decimated by ash die back, I would say at least 60 % of them have got it and showing sign of developing it. Come back over in to Nidderdale and there’s very few trees with it.

How about my little set up, lift the rounds onto the table with the grab and slide the wood on to the splitter running off the loadall front service, if it doesn’t split it will cut through the timber. I also have a 3 phase splitta wood processing unit for the smaller rounds, it fills a bulk bag it 4 minutes.

My thoughts exactly, I believe this virus will eventually lead on to much bigger and more dangerous situations, the Chinese with its ever expanding population will be pushed into some sort of offensive/ defensive stance by the American idiot.

Typical comment of a very salty communist loser, will they ever get over the worst labour defeat in history? I’m so glad we ain’t got comrade Corbin in charge of the country at this time, we’d have the Chinese military assisting us with control of the lock down.[emoji379]

If it’s lower than 20% then it’s good to burn.

Stick your logs in empty Ibc cages, the air will get through them , I store my wood in the outside .

David I was based at Poole for a while, I used to go to the holiday camp next door for the disco at the weekend, was it called Rockley sands? It was an awful long time ago.[emoji23]

Harrowing story that, you often find that people from that time didn’t want to tell their experiences, you were privileged for him to share them with you. When I was a paramedic I got friendly with a little old fella, about 5 foot 6 called Ernest Tolley, you wouldn’t give him a second glance if you saw him.I got into a conversation with me in the back of the ambulance on the way to hospital, he asked me what I did before I was a paramedic, I told him I had been a Marine, at this point he told me a story that absolutely amazed me and made me realise that I was in the company of an incredible person. He had joined the Army as a boy soldier at the beginning of WW2 and had gone on to serve with general Wavell in the long range desert recon group , he then meet Donald Sterling and became his personal driver and body guard. His wife told me that his medals are at the SAS museum at Sterling lines Hereford, she also informed me that he had never spoken to anyone about his service other than to her and his fellow colleagues. I felt very privileged that he had shared his past with me. What a bloke. I met him on a few more occasions and he told me some amazing dit’s about raids that he had been on. This was in the early 90s an he and his lovely wife will both be long gone now but it really touched me that he wanted to share that amazing part of his life with me.

Billhook that a fantastic dit, there were some absolutely amazing hard characters in those days, and some extremely luck souls. Thanks for sharing.[emoji106]

David that’s good to see and thanks for sharing. Royal has many stories to tell like that, the lofoten isle raid to destroy the nazi glycerin factories, corporal Tom hunters VC attack on a german machine gun post accompanied by SBS commando Major Anders Lassen VC both who made the ultimate sacrifice, the raid on top Malo house in the south Atlantic campaign by the artic cadre to name but a few. Lots of countries around the globe wish they had a force like the Booties, some have tried to emulate them , but only the Norwegian and Dutch have got anyway near to them. Being a royal has certainly help me through my life.

Diane Abbott is in a completely different class to her.

Mike this is my g grandfather his name is on the pic, he served in the African campaign and the boer war, he was demobbed and joined up at 35 years old in the Great War, he was a Sarg’t major, he was posted to a training unit in Kent, but volunteered to go to France , he died there and was never recovered he is commemorated at theipval. My father was a commando and so was I. Respect to all people who serve the crown no matter their job or rank.

My family are all military up to me, my great grandfather was killed at the Somme he was a career soldier in the Cameroonian Highlanders he also served in the South Africa campaign and the Boer war. My father served in Aden and suez, I served in the Royal Marines. My son has no interest whatsoever in being in the forces, to tell you the truth I don’t blame him.

If the bolts have Sheard is there a rough edge of the Sheard bolt protruding out of the side. If you have undone the bolts it should just lift out, have you got a device like an engine lift to assist you.

In times of crisis your dogs will always be your best mates, my GSD goes with me everywhere, cherish them because they ain’t with you for a long enough time.?

Nice looking dogs

my big boy and my right hand man. Always near to me.

Predictive or productive?

You look very busy! We are up your neck of the woods tomorrow, we’re going swimming in the swale and it’s tributaries.[emoji1340]‍♀️
