  1. Works steady at the moment, so its job and knock. Dont see the point of finishing à job at 2 or 3 pm say , and starting another. At least this way Were out 5 days a week and people see you out there.
  2. Iv Still got plenty of dry wood ,so got mine alright , and its free.
  3. Still got ours going, saved à fortune in heating oil.
  4. Iv alWays had cramp in my forearms and hands, only on the big trees when your in the tree all day and lots of climbing involved. I just stretch and work through it, not very Nice though.
  5. Here are à few pics from à local church ,the propt yew is suposed to be about à thousond years old. The interesting thing is about 200 years ago they dug à pit around it and moved it 50 ft on rollers, so they could exstend the church. The dates might not be exact .
  6. Just to strengthen stihls position here in the south east, 7 saws ,2 longhandle hedge cutters, polesaw, 3 strimmers, and a blower, all german.
  7. If you go onto YouTube there are plenty of vids of professional splicing and they show how to put lock stiches in, i just use insulation tape round to tidy,to make it look more professional you could use heat shrink.
  8. Ok thanks for that
  9. À message to GTR tool repairer i also live in dover , and all our saws hedge cutters are stihl, which i gather you prefer. If we get any trouble with them would you be able to have a look at them for us.
  10. I thought it was à reasonabel question as i no nothing about aspen.
  11. I live in south east kent , never seen à red, but over run with grey, they do so much damage though.
  12. Can someone tell me the benefits of useing aspen as all i read about on here that people are having carb probs.
  13. Why do you think the Same clubs are at the top year in year out, is it that they can afford the best players. And the less wealthy clubs cant afford to hang onto there's, i think there is more skill involved trying to stay in the premier. Man u can spend 100s of millions on players, there bound to have one of the best teams.
  14. Your The idiot if you think footballs more important than paying your mortgage. Idiots line there pockets. 45 pounds for a shirt that cost pennys to make, then they keep changing them so you keep spending, it use to be à working mans sport but most cant afford it any more.
  15. À fisherman's loop is à attachment knot for carabiners etc, you can tie it so it à snug fit on the carabiner, when its loaded it is unlikly to come undone but i always put à few locking stiches in the tail then tape them to make them look tidy.
  16. Iv climbed on his e2e vipper and they are fine, but the other week à brought some beeline and tied my own, Nice supple rope, cheaper and does the same job.
  17. WHO cares, got more important things to worry about, like making sure iv got enough work coming in to pay The mortgage etc I use to like football once, but the moneys riuned it, the over paid arseholes get more in a week than i earn in years , they are all actors and whimps. They roll around on the floor like they have been hit by à bus then à moment latter there running round like nothings happened. They all need à reality cheek.
  18. Better of buying some beeline cord and tieing your own with à fishamans knot,
  19. Iv been climbing for 20 years plus, keep it simple, it looks over complicated and bulky , it looks like theres more to go wrong imo.
  20. Had à look this morning and the plate said 00 so that must mean thats à 2000 model.so not the oldest.
  21. Nice, we had à démo on one a the saltex last sept, great chipper, but funds arnt there at the moment.
  22. When i get back into work tomorrow i will have à look and let you know.
  23. We have a 150 with à lister petter engine in so its got to be before 2000 because they swaped over to the duetz in 2000.
  24. Iv been up in a 36mt bronto, i thought that was impressive.
