  1. I'd donate a kidney for one of them forwarders . Had a bit of a morale dilemma to begin with over them but you just cant argue with that . Well some would i suppose
  2. I'll have that beat just shortly Great start jammy
  3. Great idea having a monster tree thread , i seen a monster beech in Huntly today i'll definetely go back and get some pics
  4. The windblow course is not in the classroom for one . Its a very much hands on practical course to make students aware of extreme compression and tensions windblow trees come under . Great if youve tackled such things at a young age and developed a feeling for this but many people have not had this opportunity and I'm sure they would come away alot more initiated for want of a better word for attending this course .
  5. NEVER EVER assume a root plate will sit back up . IT HAS TO sit back up .. You will be killed if you dont tension the top side with a winch or something , no question .
  6. George Foreman for me was/is the scariest heavyweight of all time .
  7. Principles of Tree Hazard Assessment and Management by David Lonsdale is excellent ( In depth for me btw )
  8. Pity you couldnt get some views of the lake there would have been awesome for us ' on the other side of the pond ' to see . Still a good vid though and a place i would love to visit
  9. Would like to hear your views on these two reprobates and their forthcoming bout . Is this a sporting freakshow for likeminded louts or is this way too cinical ?
  10. I absolutely concur with that Pete ....
  11. Film on BBC 2 tonight , dont miss it ...ladies and gentlemen the incredible ' Flying Scotsman ' Graeme Obree .
  12. Cant believe this thread hasnt floundered yet..
  13. You could try and organise a ' Rec ' climb , which seem to be the rage at the moment . There must be a few weegies on here willing to show of their bling . Seriously though a good way of meeting fellow arbtalkers .
  14. Normally things of beauty driving them
  15. My o/h has the small hi-flex trousers and haix blue mountain boots , theres £350 gone already
  16. Someones gonna find themself in deep water here ...
  17. Tdci must be an incredible motor then because one of the best things about my 90 td5 is the beautiful tickover of the engine , its just got that sound of quality. Would like to take Mendips advice and chip it though but too much still to do to it first ( blingy stuff )
  18. Hello Simon , i burnt out a large dead beech stump a few weeks back there after it being discussed on a thread here. Although it would have worked well you need to get a REALLY hot fire going . The problem i had was i couldnt keep my eye on it 24/7 ( it takes a long long burn for a huge stump ) . I had the stump glowing extremely hot .... so extremely hot it wouldnt extinguish easy even after copious buckets of water . Too time consuming and dangerous imo . Try and get mechanical removal would be my shout .
  19. Could be worse buddy ... Roy Hodgson could be manager I better get out of here
  20. Dont aim it at Aberdeen i was only joking !! ( mind you if it destroys pittodrie there wont really be any harm done )
  21. Sure my wife didnt reverse into it ???
  22. Hey guys you better watch a guy got banned earlier for talking only slightly less nonsense than this ( mods are sharpening their axes )
