  1. Kids (old and young) are so much happier with boundaries. An absence of boundaries does not equal freedom, despite how much we want to kick against them.
  2. One of the best street musicians ever.
  3. We’ve had a couple and user wise they are excellent saws. Very good power to weight. Premixed fuel is probably best to use in it as the auto tune tends to be a finnickity. If you liked the 550 you’ll love the 560. Hope it serves you well.
  4. Guys getting out of the truck at the chip site and leaving the doors wide open......
  5. We have learned to only safe bet in an environment with lots of people coming and going is Motomix/Aspen
  6. 20ft wide conifer hedge reductions, that ‘didn’t look that big when quoted’ that get booked in on a Saturday so you can have an ‘early’ finish. 4 tanks of fuel later and still cutting [emoji30][emoji30][emoji30]
  7. Or turning up on the job (that you weren’t that keen on doing in the first place) and finding the gate has been left unlocked.....,,,,
  8. I wonder if anyone on there has ever had the temerity to solicit recommendations for foot spas?!
  9. Sounds interesting MrJ... do some of the more accomplished and respected ones shoot GoPro footage of their work while sat at their desks? I bet it’s enthralling to watch. I bet some of the threads get heated too.... Quickbooks v excel spreadsheets...... Best calculator??
  10. I actually enjoyed the challenge of a big monkey puzzle. We did have a mog and a big chipper to deal with it then though. Stuff I hate.... Big wide overgrown conifer ‘hedge’row reductionism can become tedious. Brittle ash in the winter (when you’re just not quite sure about your anchor point) Holly. Re-re-reducing rotten pops. Any tree that you ‘wished you had rigged but decided to cut and chuck’ while driving down to the roofing/glazing/fencing suppliers.
  11. I understand what you are saying and I agree, but I struggle to believe that was the motivation behind his incarceration. I would love to be proven wrong on this mind. https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/12415/british-media-lies
  12. 70’ multi stem sycamore in a tight spot, no fewer than 7 sheds with fragile roofs underneath, thankfully there was one air raid shelter with a concrete roof which served as a landing pad . Not massive but just about every single piece needed rigging. Really felt my age at the the end of it.
  13. Same here, mines back on. Thanks, Steve.
  14. Yeah me too.... any idea if/when it’s going to get fixed?
  15. Well worth a listen..
  16. The Boy Scouts are in trouble again. http://babylonbee.com/news/bigoted-boy-scouts-welcome-girls-but-still-exclude-all-49247-other-genders/
  17. 1: getting up a little earlier in the morning and having some quiet time with a big cafetière of strong coffee. 2: long weekend away somewhere nice (and not too expensive) once every 3 months. 3: Got given an old pair of Castle speakers and a Marantz amp recently. Every now and then it’s nice to blast a couple of tunes out. Great thread, by the way. [emoji106]
  18. When it comes to ‘free from’ and gluten free stuff, the UK is about 15 years behind the curve. The US has been doing this a lot longer and they have really developed the manufacturing, baking and marketing for this stuff. My American mrs has a gluten allergy plus others as well, she laments the lack of free from stuff over here. She bakes cakes, cookies and other free from stuff for The Rising Cafe at Coventry Cathederal (shameless plug) and it is not just ‘as good’ but better than the normal stuff.
  19. I like the neatness of e2e. ‘Tis pricey though.
  20. The grippy-est hitch cord I’ve ever used is that blue Stein stuff, think it’s 8mm, comes in e2e lengths
  21. I get the poundshop glasses too. Keep meaning to go to the opticians but it keeps slipping down the hierarchy of things to get done. X 1.5 magnification is perfect for sharpening and doing LOLER checks.
  22. This thread should be re-named. Show us yer gripes .....
  23. LOLER and home made splices on PPE climbing ropes. CE marks on kit after Brexit.
  24. Nice set up Mick.
