  1. Playing Devils Advocate - as an employer you are spot on, doesn't matter how nice they look or feel, if the faecal matter hits the oscillating device - the above from Treeman is what will be asked by HSE, not how fashionable the reviews on Arbtalk were. Russ
  2. My 350 YPVS made me smile a lot! Get to 11000 RPM and I reckon that's where Buzz Lightyear got his saying from...... Russ
  3. Steve - one thing not mentioned (at least not whilst talking about dim lit dance floors) how does the heel plate relate to wearing spikes? Russ
  4. Religion & Politics.........several millennia of "that hurt" Russ
  5. What he said - tbh it was also said with far more pc protocol than you deserve. Russ
  6. 3rd gen family business getting ready for set up...... Big man hug (in a non sissy way) Russ
  7. "best brands in the industry that I'm sure most of you use." More information please? Russ
  8. First thought on seeing that photo was HANGERS!!!!!!! Russ
  9. Vasaline the 0 rings - really helps. Save money on the kits sold with spares by buying in latex O rings. Latex last longer. Russ
  10. A pint of cold Double Diamond in a dimple glass after baleing all day at 14...... Proper grown up :-) Russ
  11. Good points - thanks Russ
  12. Regiment Timeings stipulate on time is 10 mins before agreed time. I've been out 18 years and I'm early for absolutely everything. Does my head in sometimes............ Russ
  13. 49 tomorrow, but still 28 in my head. SO only 22 years to go before I get to officially be eligible to post on this thread....... AGE - it's a head kind of thing....... Russ
  14. To be honest - as much as you'll get good info / advice on here, the training provider (TP) you booked the course with should give you all the information you've asked for. The fact you've had to ask for it would really make me look at why you haven't been told this by the TP. Russ
  15. I've a customer wanting to buy a Silver Birch for planting, he wants it around 10 to 12 ft. Rather than pay Garden Centre prices, anyone know of who I could refer him to? Ideally it would be delivered. Site is in Lincolnshire. Russ
  16. Cheers Dan, got any more feedback 're what you've heard from others? Russ Just realised my auto correct on the first post put Greenwich!!!!!! Doh
  17. Folks - I'm in a position to buy either the Timberwolf 125 or the Greenwich 130, the price is similar and it will be a new purchase. Any feedback on preferences would be appreciated. I'm liking the 6 inch feed on the 130 v the 5 inch on the 125 but beyond that I'm neutral at the moment. Cheers Russ
  18. It's my understanding that the PA 1&6 req 5 yearly renewal. Russ
  19. Paul Peacock at Treetech covers your area. Highly recommend his service. Russ
  20. ARBORISK - Got my vote and they are personal to deal with. No "Muppet Call Centre mentality. Came via recommendation and would do same myself. Russ
  21. Got chatting with a mate at work with a similar vehicle re renewal time on the pickup. Used to be with Adflux for my modded surf-bus and motorbike and found them the best and so used them for the Arb-bus. I'm 48 (still looking good thou!!!!!) full no claims and paid last year £485 for a Ford Ranger / Thunder Supercab on a 58 plate. This year? £205 with a £150 excess / fully comp / with business use pers use mix / hazcem (herb' & pest' cides) and the missus as a named driver with which company................................................................?
