Absolutely, don't want to accidentally kill it, do you.

I didn't claim they weren't, just to make sure your insurance covers you. That's fair enough though, you've probably got a marathon to run in training for tomorrow's laurel hedge.

Whilst it's true that insurance and tax is more expensive on a commercial vehicle, you know you're definitely covered. Buy a car and put it on a standard SDP + Commuting and you'll probably find your not covered in the event of a crash when you've got tools and fuel in the back, so you've been paying for nothing. Not really cheaper then is it. Having your 2 stroke tools and fumes seperated from you with a bulkhead is nice too.

It works fine in any clime. When you cut out carbs your body resorts to burning fat as a fuel source, so you need a pretty high fat content to maintain body weight. Burning fat also keeps energy levels pretty constant as opposed to the energy peaks and dips with burning carbs. Your insulin levels are pretty constant too which is a great benefit for diabetics.

A van will be 100 capital expense. All the associated running costs too.

A lad i know is selling a 1 year old CELA DT25 complete with trailer and radio package for a decent price. Bigger spec than the leguan at 25m upreach and 12m outreach. Narrows down to 800mm for access. Could be a deal to be had if you're willing to drag it over the channel.
-
Nothing wrong with a high fat content though. As i see it a high protein, high fat and low carb diet is the most natural thing for us. Carbs should be unprocessed and protien/fat should be animal sourced.

I used to run an old pickup. Changed it for a 17 Peugeot Partner. The pickup was way more fun to drive and comfier, but the van gets 50mpg without trying, is clean air exempt (euro 6) and saves me £500-1000 every mot. Kit is way more secure than when it was in the truck, and the fuel savings are literally covering the repayments. Its basically a free van. The cab is a tardis too. Storage for days. I had i child seat for my daughter, seatbelt one as no isofix. She's in a booster seat now. Mine is the 3 seat version. In hindsight id have gone for the 2 seater and taken the extra cab room. 3 people up front is a desperate measure.

How much time do you want to spend on a saw that cost £300 when you bought it 12 years ago. Chuck it in the spares bin and replace.

Modern diet is genuinely interesting to me. Its only an argument when people can't keep things constructive. I was attempting to debate.
-
Take your humour elsewhere Dempsey. There's a good old fashioned Internet argument going on. How many beers did you buy him after work?
-
It's not happening though is it? How many people can you point me to that live entirely on fruit and veg? They all substitute meat with something, wether its pulces, or worse a heavily processed products like tofu. Meat avoiders usually eat a very carb-centric diet too. I don't believe that can be healthy. For reasons I've already mentioned.
-
If you can't be bothered to go back to read my comment for context then there's not much point having a discussion with you. If you do find the energy then you'll notice i was referring to during the paleolithic era. I also explained this in the reply to Peds' comment that you quoted. Perhaps "wasn't" would've been clearer than "isn't". If you want to have a discussion, don't be lazy and read the comments carefully. If you're just looking to argue then I'm out.
-
Read my above post.i haven't said that at all. You're skim reading my comments and replying with disparaging remarks.
-
You're not reading my posts properly mate. At no point have i claimed that. I've said that in the hunter gatherer era it would've been impossible to survive without meat being the primary part of our diet. Why on earth would i try and argue that with vegetarianism/veganism being so prevalent today, regardless of how healthy i think it is?
-
I'm not denying that we ate other things 🤣 you couldnt thrive on a diet of veg in those times though. It was supplementary to a carnivorous diet. We were purely opportunistic. I'm not sure what you're trying to prove mentioning other herbivorous species. That's entirely irrelevant.
-
Not to mention that we existed as hunter gatherers for the overwhelming majority of our time as a species. We've only been processing food like grains etc for a small percentage of that time. I wonder how many diabetics/celiacs etc they're were before then.
-
Indian vegetarians has nothing to do with the paleolithic era we were talking about. Vegetarianism has only been an option since we've learnt to cultivate our own produce. Your doctors opinion or diet bears absolutely no weight with me. Doctors over the course of history have pushed many terrible agendas, through misinformation or corruption. You're honestly trying to tell me that a diet based on good quality meat and greens is worse for you than eating mainly processed carbs?
-
At times of the year, yes. Berries and fruit etc are seasonal. What else were they eating in the winter? Fruit and veg isn't (should say wasn't) nutrient dense enough to sustain people. The vast majority of our food was meat.
-
If meat was bad for us we wouldn't have survived past the paleolithic era.
-
You'll need a rescue climber. Best pay me to be there too. Honestly it looks like an easy day for a cimber. I'd be pretty chuffed to be booked in for that. Job and knock by elevenses

Reckon you'd have to time a phone call to Dempsey for after his birthday blowjob to catch him in a good mood.

Where abouts are you based?

Some people on here genuinely think tree work is like trying out for SAS selection. Its not hard, turn up on time, be polite and reliable and if you really want to impress, bring your own lunch in with you. Tree work has never been easier with the range of labour saving kit available to us. I'd suggest you avoid working for those who expect you to do pelvic floor excersises to avoid blowing your rectum out on a daily basis.
