"Yeah I know"
-
The lad that constantly reminds you what time it is (running up to break time). Or the lad that exaggerates the time when asked, so I come down earlier than I needed to...
-
Jaw clenched throughout the day then vent it all on road rage on the way back? We should work together sometime!
-
Not always. When oncoming traffic stop to allow you to turn right it's the passengers job. Always.

Used Marlow rope is worth approx 5x less than any other brand of used rope.
-
Hahaha that's one of your bad ones? Truly sympathetic compared to some of mine! I'll start photographing them.
-
If I put one up that would mean I can't smoke in the truck surely...
-
Yup, guys clearly not done production work.

They're like wearing a pair of slippers Paul. The memory foam is ace.

Yes, they'd be perfect for that. In full time Arb work though, they don't tend to last more than a year anymore...
-
I could understand the delay if I'd called and asked for that...
-
Haha what position in the industry are you in mate? Employing multiple people? That ladder incident was just an "accident" was it?
-
What does pepper spray taste like? Seriously though, I hope you sued the randy cow.

This and this. I'm an employed TL for a small firm. I used to think I was hard done by when I cocked up and was suggested to pay for the damage. I soon learnt though. Now I lead by example. If I cock up in the tree and a fence takes a whack or whatever, I'll offer to sort it. I expect the same of the blokes I work with. Obviously this only accounts for damage caused by stupidity or absent mindedness, but when the alternative is disciplinaries my guys are happy to put their hands up.

Next time swerve into the wankers, the reflection of the sun in the lens temporarily blinded you. I hate them too, it's not what they're doing particularly, it's that it's a bunch of over the hill retirees with nothing to do and this gives them a sense of purpose/authority.

Fill your boots, my local Seddons referred to a 20" 3/8 chain as a "speciality item" before saying it would take a week to order in. You're in no danger of losing my custom mate!
-
Haha get in! Not a total div am I!
-
More pertinent: We're any alternatives to felling considered? Relocating the road and nearby houses perhaps?
-
No issue with the pinto top tie, other than if you leave the butterfly loop too long you can get abrasion on that part of the rope on retrieval.
-
Under the top handle is a white plastic cover on the rob body of the saw. Remove the sprocket cover and this will pop off. There's an earth connection underneath. Clean it and then try.

And you'd have lost out to me Timber stayed on site, done by 3. Would have been out of there earlier but the village hall were serving homemade meatball baguettes with rocket and Parmesan...
-
Had this Scotty to dismantle over a house today. Someone digging footings had severed two of the main roots. Only had one man on the deck so set up a controlled zip line and then felled the timber out in 4m lumps.

Is this just an exercise in spending money?

I feel like I've been cuckolded... -
No offense but he's right. If you want to work your arse off for £100 a day (if you're really good) thats grand, but how long would you last? Sometime you get answers you don't want to hear. Having a tantrum is a pretty good indicator to prospective employers about your personality.
