    Did this discussion start elsewhere?

    30 Feb next year, a reliable source tells me.

    Do you have plans to host these elsewhere in the country? Would be interesting to come along to see clearly what is proposed (and occasionally comment that two rope working is a load of bollocks).
  4. Joe Newton
    Knut or vt on my short line

    Are you denying that desirable jobs are paid less in general than less desirable ones? I wasn't for a minute suggesting that the you don't know your job etc, but simply put, you'd have to pay me more to deal with human waste than for me to drive a shiny fire truck.

    That doesn't work with feckless 20 something year olds who will do á little as possible in a day. Yeah but people want to do tree work because of the glory and bitches. Pretty simple really, jobs perceived as fun or heroic are undervalued by the volume of people looking to get into the trade. That's why arbtalk's resident poo-shifter is doing way better fiscally than the majority of us.

    I spoke to a mate on the phone earlier. Just so you all know.

    Stop sending me photos then!

    I've always liked the under armour heat gear, but these days my figure isn't as trim as it once was, and if cyclists have taught us anything, there's nothing more tragic than a fat cvnt wearing spandex.

    The 880 that I've used was no faster than my 660 on a 30" bar. I think they only prove their worth on the really long bars. I wouldn't even bother with the 660 for that though. Why do you need a bigger saw?
  11. Joe Newton
    Yeah I'll get a couple ordered. What woolpower base layer do you have?
  12. Joe Newton
    Holy Thread Revival! I've just chucked most of my base layers and work shirts away as they either stink or don't fit me any more. Looking for a a couple of base layers for the winter (probably going to go with woolpower) and a couple of general work t-shirts. Are pfanner still top rated?
  13. Joe Newton
    I'm definitely in the latter camp there, my handwriting looks like a special needs kids.
  14. Joe Newton
    But that's only for a couple of hours from your shed.

    Are you qualified to write up a lift plan? I'd be cautious, anything goes wrong and your insurance will try hard to find a reason not to pay out

    How good is your blower? 😁
  17. Joe Newton
    Backpack blower, into the flowerbeds and fence

    It's not rude, he's trying his luck is all. How much do you want the work?

    Bullmans rule of thumb about people posting from behind a pseudonym and their credibility seems pretty reliable.
  20. Joe Newton
    He's saying the 3 knot system isn't suitable with your rope. Rope for tree climbing should be 11-13mm. It tends to be way more static than the fall arrest line you'll be using too.
  21. Joe Newton
    Yes please.
  22. Joe Newton
    Lad I occasionally sub to has had one for a couple of years. That whole ash went through that chipper 🙄
  23. Joe Newton
    If you are looking for a shirt that gives you an extra portion of energy while working, training or even competing, the fresh swell long shirt is the right choice Finally I can stop taking cocaine at work!
  24. Joe Newton
    I feel that anyone not using a file guide is missing a trick. I don't get why more people don't use them
  25. Joe Newton
    I am really bloody smart to be fair.
