  1. How about this one Don? If it's good enough for Beranek........ [emoji30][emoji30] Timon.
  2. Your set up is one of the best I've seen, Dave. Especially the remote controlled crane picks straight from the tree into the trailer. Timon.
  3. We did a job with a flatbed transit (borrowed from our landscaping crew) as our chipper and truck went down at the same time. We went and did a couple of small jobs with it, medium conifer removals and some ash reductions. Left all the cuts quite big and tied everything on. Was a lot easier and quicker than I thought it was going to be. Wouldn't like to work like that every day but realised that it's easy to complicate jobs and business. Timon.
  4. Gutted for you. Hope you can get it back in one piece. Timon.
  5. Like Marc says. Stretching it really helps. I tie one end round a tree walk the reel out and tie the other end to a stick and stretch it, spending some time doing this will help. There should be a loop in the cube to tie the tail end of the line to as well which should help a bit as well. It's horrible when the tangle fairy strikes! [emoji37][emoji35][emoji36] Timon.
  6. If Harrods did trees.......... Timon.
  7. https://www.google.co.uk/amp/www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/07/16/john-mcdonnell-insists-jeremy-corbyns-election-pledge-wipe-student/amp/ I wonder if any students who voted for Corbyn feel mugged off yet?? Timon.
  8. For a Mog to be a viable solution you have to be pretty good with a spanner to keep it operating, or have access to a good mobile mechanic. If you have to send it away to AV or ACP on a flat bed to get it repaired, the bills and downtime would prove to be prohibitive. Don't get caught running it on red while doing domestic Arb either, HMRC seemed well up to speed when they dipped ours. Thankfully we were running on white and they went on their way with no further questions. Timon.
  9. Don't worry MrJ I heard Corbyn is on his way there right now. Dianne Abbott calculated his ETA at half past Thursday. Should be able to capitalise on some bad feeling by showing how Tory flood defence spending cuts are to blame. [emoji849] Timon.
  10. Looks like the natives have adopted the practice now. Timon.
  11. Some more "benefits" from Obama's foreign policies legacy. What a great idea it was to "reach out" to the Iranian government. Looks like it's going pear shaped already. Didn't see that one coming. [emoji849]. Forcing the Israelis into a preemptive strike on the Iranian reactor is surely not the smartest move an American president has made in the Middle East [emoji107] https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/10695/trump-iran-nuclear-deal Timon.
  12. Dead sycamore over buildings. Used a pre-tensioned line with a floating anchor for the lowering which was pretty much every piece. Timon.
  13. Totally agree mate. [emoji107] Organised crime can be found anywhere and everywhere in this very sick world that we live in.., Timon.
  14. You don't really know what my stance on multiculturalism is..... I like the fact that I can go into town and eat a meal from just about anywhere in the world and enjoy the benefits of various cultures. I love people from all nationalities and cultures, I just don't believe that we should accept some of the worst excesses of some of those cultures and ideologies blindly under the banner of political correctness and multiculturalism. The organisation I work for has a presence in over 100 cities across the globe bringing the many benefits of our "faith" to troubled people who receive no help whatsoever from the various governments where they are. While we're on the subject maybe we should outlaw the Labour Party? http://www.ukcolumn.org/oldforums/index.php?p=/discussion/6334/apologists-for-paedophiles-how-labour-deputy-harriet-harman Timon.
  15. Typical left wing bigotry. Tar all "faiths" with the same brush. Anyone who doesn't fit in with your beliefs is legislated against. Bit like saying all gypsies are thieves and should be locked up. [emoji849] Timon.
  16. It gets no better the further south you go....,, http://www.breitbart.com/london/2017/07/17/uks-first-state-funded-muslim-school-taken-over-by-gov-after-pro-rape-books-found/?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_term=daily&utm_content=links&utm_campaign=20170717 Timon.
  17. [emoji857]🤥🤥🤥[emoji848] Timon.
  18. Timon.
  19. Yep.,,, [emoji106][emoji106] Timon.
  20. My other sticker is funny..... My other car is a whacker plate. Etc.... Timon.
  21. Paying the hot water bill is a bit of a mission! Timon.
  22. Thanks Mick. Saddest thing is for all the kids waiting for families. We've now got 20 (sort of... adult) kids. Never a dull moment [emoji106] Timon.
  23. Groan!! [emoji849] The Black Country has to be one of the worst places in Britain for this kind of thing. A few years ago when we lived in Oldbury the Mrs and I went to enrol on the adoption process after suffering a miscarriage. We went to an open evening hosted by Sandwell Council. We were told by the head of adoption services for Sandwell Council that our Christian faith could be a barrier to us being accepted. The fact that I used to be a heroin addict and convicted drug dealer wasn't seen as a problem as I had been clean for over six months! (Yeah....six months!) If, however, we belonged to the LGBT or Muslim community (etc..) ..... we found out that they were especially keen to hear from applicants from those sections of the community.....,, There are thousands of kids in the UK stuck in care crying out for loving families basically held hostage by women like this and the Wolverhampton MP and her ilk because of their own petty political agendas. I can't tell you how heart broken my Mrs was driving home that night. I'll never forget it. VIVA Breitbart! Timon.
  24. Out of 5 Sugihara bars purchased 2 years ago, 4 are still going strong. The nose sprocket on one 12" bar disintegrated but apart from that we've been happy with them. [emoji106] Timon.
  25. Yeah! But christians and Jews don't count because the their not included in the liberals inclusive club. [emoji849] You will rarely, if ever, hear of a liberal or alt left person stand up and protest against the persecution of Christians. That in itself tells me everything I need to know about them. [emoji48] Timon.
