I believe you can but I'm not sure if any courses will be starting until September, the new college year, I could be wrong it's on my to do list for tomorrow to find out. Thanks for the reply.

A bit of news (only time will tell good or bad). After two weeks at home and a lot of hard thinking I decided not to get my flight back to Mallorca. The reasons not to go back - money - accommodation - not learning anything - un safe at times - boredom - not enough work Out weighed the reasons to go back - the weather So now I am unemployed:sad:, looking for work and saving for my much needed first NPTC ticket. So if anyone in the central Scotland area has a days work for an eager, energetic, hard working, reliable and honest trainee I am the man for the job! Also is anybody aware of any grants/funding available that would help me towards my cs30/31 ? Any advice on the best way for me to go about getting employed or more employable would be greatly appreciated. Regards Deeco

Today's job was a site clearance! Had a new groundie to put to the test 1 fell down the driveway, and all the waste was left on site. All in all a good job, the newbie wasnt up to much though... Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

just back for a holiday OMT work is dead in mallorca so thought i would visit and make some decent cash. 2 weeks and i'll be back across the water.

I really like the look the look of your new gizmo silky ! I think it would need to be the iPhone for me though for the simple reason that I have an iPad and an iPod at the moment so it would make sense to have something that incompatible with them. If I didn't have any apple gear I would definitely be going for a note 2 it looks like a step above the rest

Well done !!

I may have to look into this further, this would be perfect for some of the ideas that float around my head on a daily basis !!

How long does it take to recharge dean ? I like it a lot ! Was looking into one of these recently as they can be driven on a moped license but at 3-4 grand I think I'll wait a year for a van ! Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App

It is a real shame everywhere you look there are dead palms. It's not a nice part of the job cleaning up after the beetles.I like to look back on a day and think of how much better the trees we worked on looked and how healthy they were, turning up to jobs with rotten stumps and grubs everywhere is tough to take. With all the trees dying its means less work to go around and there are only going to be so many stumps to take down after that who knows what will happen.

Some areas of the mainland have been hit not sure about the surrounding islands.

Another victim of the read nosed beetle clean up and left to dry out. The beetle has been on the island for alomost ten years but has only reached the south in the last few years. Over the last ten years Mallorca’s palm trees have been suffering from an invasion of the Picudo Rojo, a weevil or snout beetle known by its Latin name as Rhynchophorus ferrugineus. The beetle is a quite attractive looking insect but in its effect on palm trees from the Phoenix canariensis to Phoeniceae and Washingtonia, it is quite devastating. One can rarely see the beast as it is deeply burrowed into the heart of the palm tree. When one sees that the palm tree has dead and dry leaves the damage is already done and the tree can not be saved. Sadly, no remedy is known to prevent the disease from spreading. Some experts say that in twenty years time there will be no palm trees left in Mallorca. Very disheartening. All treatments on the market are not guaranteed. The best way is to treat the trees is to pour a solution into the centre of the crown. There are lots of different types of solutions and nobody really knows which is best. Other people drill into the trunk of the tree and inject chemicals. A company has been taken to court for doing this because they used to much and killed loads of trees.
