  1. Having read enough of his posts on here I'd say he does.
  2. That's a story KKKriss would be proud of.
  3. You'd be scared of them too if your shithole of a country wasn't too waterlogged to be worth them invading!
  4. I managed to blag a few epi pens from my doctor for that exact reason. I don't want to find out the hard way.
  5. Fair point though. A crap tree surgeon with a well written quote stands a much better chance of getting the work than a decent lad who doesn't present his business well.
  6. The daughter of the client was highly shaggable and very interested in the hero strapped to the tree. Annoyingly both times she visited i was up in the tree so she couldn't witness my debonair personality and rugged good looks. More annoyingly is that I'm in a committed relationship. Life can be unfair sometimes.
  7. I took a different tack. "I won't moan about the tree if you don't moan about the phone lines" The manhole cover was just belt and braces to illustrate my point.
  8. I'd genuinely rather be on spikes free falling that than clearing the unholy mess on the ground.
  9. Good man. One slinging one cutting? I had to read "pick riding pic" a couple of times.my mind went straight to the vulgar There wasn't a lot of holding going on, hence the collateral. I'll climb them, but I'll draw the line at limb walking and chucking over phone lines. That's why i keep BT junction boxes in the van.
  10. Turned up to this horrible thing today. I expressed my displeasure by doing 3 phone lines and a drain cover.
  11. I remember that. Some people will do anything for free stuff
  12. You checked Jacamo?
  13. Itd probably be way more comfy for you these days.
  14. Ostrich tactics. Why not?
  15. You can have good, or cheap. You won't get good for £70 Look at army surpus bergens if you don't need arb specific gear.
  16. He'd sure as fuk have one though!
  17. A mate told me now in the army the recruits get to hold up a yellow card if they feel like they're being mistreated or bullied in training. No wonder Russia isn't worried about us. I had to replace a tele in lockdown after i launched the controller after being killed on a buy station for the umpteenth time on warzone by some thirsty little basement dweller. To add insult to injury i forgot that the controller was attached to my head with the headphones.
  18. THIS ADVERT HAS EXPIRED!

    • FOR SALE
    • USED

    Selling my Spud Ported 357xpg as it doesn't get used enough. Real head turner of a saw. Anyone i let use it ends up grinning like a loon. These saws are hard to come by these days, especially in good condition with heated handles never mind ported and exhaust modded. No auto-tune to go wrong. Runs better than new with no trouble. Comes with an 18" sugi bar with a narrow kerf .325 chain which flies through the wood. Can send videos of it working if required. Collection from Midlands preferred but can arrange postage at buyers cost. £600

  19. I'm not too far, drop me a message with your company name and details. 07724387547
  20. Congratulations, you can use Google. Did you actually bother to read it though? "This is not reasonable, in terms of current case law precedent. In severing these roots on the tension side, the line of trees were left at significant risk of windthrow." If by pruning roots or branches back to the boundary you cause the tree to become unsafe, you could well be held liable for the removal/replacement or any damages caused should the tree then fail. It's generally better not to give advice on matters you don't understand.
  21. Man's chatting bare shit, fam.
  22. Exactly. I'm capable of doing a nice pruning job, but I'll save it for the customers who appreciate it. I'll generally try and advise people what will look best/ be kinder to the tree, but if they want it walloping I'm not wasting my time with a silky. As a freelancer if i turned down every spec i disagreed with my kid would go hungry.
