  1. Unless you just crashed your car then it would be fully comprehensive is the best policy. Are you annoyed yet ?
  2. You lot need therapy.
  3. They left it like that because they know it pees you off Advantage is you can't fall down the ladder if you use it upside down;)
  4. Probably because he has nothing constructive to add, like us eh!

    Trousers

    Do you go that much faster in your new trousers ? I would compare Burtons to Saville Row for trousers I think
  6. Did you collect the mistletoe to sell at Christmas ? Nice video.
  7. That's what I thought and the picture at the end shows a back handle kick back warning Me too I like his tree work videos but that was a bit of a ramble.
  8. Have a look at it on the level.
  9. You are getting about double what my friend was getting out of his Rav4. He got rid because he struggled to get into the 20 mpg bracket.
  10. Opposite way round to the original but a chap I worked with put diesel in his old 1.3 Escort Mk3. He realised after about 1/2 gallon and just topped up with petrol. He was laying a James Bond smoke screen for the rest of the week
  11. A friend of a friend has had one for a few years and not complained about it so it must be o.k. as he does like to moan. I had the older model for about 5 years and it was fine but it was a petrol and a bit thirsty.
  12. Calm down, calm down !
  13. The blog is on about rear handle saws, I would never try to use one of those one handed no matter how small the saw. Top handle saws are a different concept surely.

    Tiny echo!

    It keeps him happy and doesn't cost anything, leave him alone
  15. What happened to them doing bob a job ? Is it Brexit again ?
  16. I get that with Birch and Ash trees growing in every available bit of soil in the shed gutter and garden.
  17. He probably thinks if you start doing the job you will want the pro climber rate. If you are supplying your own saw to run his business that's down to you, suppose it broke would he replace it or pay for a repair ?
  18. Page 8 of today's Sun there is about 1/2" column space saying that plans to fell about 60 Lime trees planted 1918 in honour of fallen World War one soldiers have been met with opposition. Bit late by the look of it.
  19. They should have gone lots of times, they were in the grounds of a nursing/old folks home.
  20. Common sense prevails, they will build another nest when they are ready to mate again. There used to be a rookery near here then one year they all just upped and left for no apparent reason and the site has been abandoned for decades now.
  21. I don't Never had one fail.
  22. It's probably that bloke in the hi-viz p!&&ing on it that's killed it. Don't they realise that if they go somewhere else and look at their place the tree becomes part of the view. If they kill all the trees off there will only be grass left to look at, where's the poetry in that. Trees Related Poem Content Details BY JOYCE KILMER I think that I shall never see A poem lovely as a tree. A tree whose hungry mouth is prest Against the earth’s sweet flowing breast; A tree that looks at God all day, And lifts her leafy arms to pray; A tree that may in Summer wear A nest of robins in her hair; Upon whose bosom snow has lain; Who intimately lives with rain. Poems are made by fools like me, But only God can make a tree.

    Axe/Hatchet

    This is the chainsaw section, try looking in the hatchets and axes section.
  24. I don't. I'm retired and have nowhere to go in a hurry. I love to see the driver behind drumming their hands on the wheel in 30 limits Our street is actually a 20 limit and if they ever set a speed trap up it would rake in thousands and result in quite a few bans. I might stand outside with my hi-viz jacket and a black hairdryer one day just to see their faces
  25. If you are hiring the equipment out and supplying the wood to cut surely you could throw in a beard
