  1. I'm positive you could stick a plumbline down the first one
  2. The groundy should have downed it with the big shot
  3. Crikey , i could have sworn by the pictures they had been sided up
  4. I would agree especially with the harsh ' siding up '
  5. Two days of thick haar . Windy and rain coming down like stair rods . Never known anything like it .
  6. 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 .
  7. Too tall Rover not too big . Your right what you are saying about the show fraternity and overseas market splashing out silly money for anything over 18.2 . I have a Dales pony and he is immensely strong for his size . Commercial unthinned woodlands , the norm over here , yes they are ideally suited BUT .. when large diameter , real big logs are involved as cousin jack says you simply need alot more weight to pull it , a horse in the 750 kg + . Hitching a pair ( or more ) would be the ideal then , but there again why not get a horse of sufficient size in the first place ? In saying that would i swap him for a shire or clydesdale ? Never in a million years
  8. Thanks Jamie , i was actually kicking myself a bit for not asking which one is most suitable but youve answered that anyway . Cheers mate .
  9. Nothing to do with being libellous or not with me . As a general rule i dislike swearing , even more so on a public forum . There are other more subtle ways of expressing grievances PS .. I'm getting on fine with the lanyard ( i like the odd rant now and again )
  10. Ask Mr Bullman who's taking the fish
  11. Are you sure Hodge ? After all he was taking down 70 ft poplars himself last week !!! I do like his humour though
  12. Saving all your blushes from Mr ATC Trying to anyway !!!!
  13. Got to hand it to ATC , still reelling them in .
  14. I would concrete them all in one at a time . Make sure the stones face south . I cant remember why , someone told me i think
  15. No need for gear at this stage . Free climbing is the in thing . Set of ladders tops , good luck
  16. The breeds you have are very commonly used for carriage driving . You can make it as cheap or as expensive as you want ( i built my own two wheel cart ). £200 tops will get you started . Go along to your local carriage driving events and get talking to people , i'm sure they'll be more than happy to show you the ropes . You never know it could be the start of a great partnership ! ( horses )
  17. Its the new landing lights for Heathrow .. cutbacks .
  18. Absolutely dont have to be Shires or traditional heavy breeds . Its whats between their ears or temperament thats critical . Its just that these traditional heavy breeds have been bred for centuries for work so makes sense if your serious about it to choose something of that ilk . You dont say what you actually have which makes it difficult to say what road to take but i would bet leasing out to a horse logger a poor choice for various reasons . I would loan them out to a trustworthy rider or get someone in to keep them semi fit and doing something . Carriage driving may even be a better option ? You could easily learn that yourself and is good fun .
  19. Never new i'm a closet diving fan Seriously what those guys have to go through to get a medal was a real eye opener . Three rounds of six dives , with the slightest mistake heavily penalised this was THE closest of competitions at the olympics no doubt about it . Tom Daley was simply sensational so that tells you the standard on offer tonight . Brilliant viewing ...
  20. Sorry , cant think of any forums at all
