Exactly .. In some sort of perverse way it was a level playing field . How on earth do they work out the standings now going back to 1999 ? Do they give it to some non descript Spaniard who's credentials are probably less than honourable at best ? Does anyone really care now ?

USDA are beheading an American icon who took on the rest of Europe against all odds , died three times , got dropped by his team when diagnosed , and went on to win the worlds greatest cycling event 7 times in a row . The mentally strongest athlete possibly has never existed or we shall see the like again ...

Should've let it go.

I agree ..

I just knew this was gonna rear it's ugly head in here sooner or later.

What do you think Mick ?

Yeh , he only walked on the moon for goodness sake

He was an outstanding pilot and according to all his colleagues was THE man for the job .... cool as a snow leopard on the mountains of Kilimanjaro

Its with great sadness that such an iconic sporting hero , 7 times Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong is being stripped of his titles . In one hand its just desserts for some but i'm gonna wear the livestrong brand with pride no matter what .

How much experience do you need to do this?

I have only passed my CS38/39 in the past couple of months.

You could always phone them and ask to speak to the trainer . DR G 's right .... £465 even better

actualy just done a quick net search and thats quite a distance for me from newcastle - maybe by the time i add fuel , overnight stay and of course the most important item - bait.

 

says £465 on the site by the way

 

will look closer to home i think

To give you a comparison the Barony college Dumfries are looking for £500 cs 40 training only, 2 days ( assesment later ) . Cs 41 £700 again training only 2 days, assesment at a later date . Eastec are doing all this including assesment in 4 days Tue - Fri for £495 real good value no matter where you are coming from

Lets see one of your fells born2trot...???

??? Why ?? Would it give me more right to comment ? Would i be gauranteed to get your approval then ? What if someone didnt like it and posted something negative , it may hurt my feelings ? Why pick on me and not of the other posters it was only an opinion . You never gave your opinion on it ? Would you like an Arbtalk grading system ?

I'll post something when i like not when some stranger tells me that okay Mistahbenn .

If you wanted to be really picky it was a bit of a long beard on the hinge but hey, I would be really chuffed if I could do as neat a job . Don't think he posed at all . you need the axe to hang on to so you want it in the most convenient place . Good job I thought .

The axe was all over the place , above him then below him though ?

How do you stage the scenery?

I'm not denying the scenery was stunning , the camera was placed perfectly and it was a well staged video . All i'm saying is i prefer the vids from the canadian arbtalkers it really is as simple as that .

OP means they will not buy kerro,but fall back onto using more logs,ie buy more logs,simples.

You know we like to complicate the simplest of things on Arbtalk

I thought your logs sales would INCREASE

I thought he posed about too much .. seemed to fart about with the axe alot without it being actually of any benefit . The saw kicked out enough powder to re lay a horse arena . The ' dramatic ' scenery was just too staged for me . Much better reality vids from the crazy canuck arbtalkers imo ( sorry to burst the guys bubble )

Thats a big old pine , should have sent an invite out to fellow Arbtalkers Looks great

I,ve got myself on this course £495 the lot !!

Any fellow Arbtalkers on it ? I think there was one space left , grab it !

Excellent :lol:

Sounds a cracking horse but could it carve?? Lol

:lol:

Best thing about them is the big ' MADE IN BRITAIN ' stamp

Home of the legendary Iain MacInnes 6th generation horse logger and forester . He had a clydesdale that would let the timber run between its legs going downhill and ride the timber ' toboggan style ' lol !! Sheer class ..

I'm positive you could stick a plumbline down the first one

The groundy should have downed it with the big shot

Only the hedge has been trimmed about a month ago by the gardener. The trees are untouched.

Crikey , i could have sworn by the pictures they had been sided up

I would agree especially with the harsh ' siding up '

Two days of thick haar . Windy and rain coming down like stair rods . Never known anything like it .

Hi folks ,

Have any of you chaps went through the visa / work permit process for America ? Am i right in saying the said company must sponsor or file an H-1B visa application . What is the approx time scale for this process ?

Any advice warmly received , thanks ...

PS... this includes temporary and permanent applications i believe .
