You're a braver man than me Maxwell!

No, she's good girl. Bark definitely worse than bite. And while we're on the subject of bravery, you're a fine one to talk. You're halfway into an adventure involving a knackered horse, a flatulent frog, a sea captain with a fatal attraction to waccy baccy, terrible conditions at sea, etc.

Ps. The wench here is in stitches over every installment, so keep 'em coming.

I need one of them. So bad.

My wife is very switched on like all women. I have to wear her down

Over time by constantly telling her I need things. Sometimes she give in but not very often

Someone once told me that it's a lot easier to apologise later than seek permission first. Obviously you have to be selective on what situation you apply it to but in your case, Countryboy, it might work a treat. Works for me when getting new kit past her indoors.

6 foot nowt and 14 stone.

Nice one Dean. Wish my boss would let us be that creative!

We use these at work for all thorn and bramble clearance. Absolutely brilliant. We get them from Baca Safety in Northampton.

My Landcover guy uses a company in Luton, they specialise in LR boxes.

 

A

Ashcroft transmissions? Good people.

Fashion must be put before safety, Metsaman. This is very important!!! By the way, I thought both videos were very good, what other treats do you have lined up for us?

The new project

What a beauty! Are you restoring it properly or just getting it going?

Thank You, I just bought new trousers, with this old trousers I have make lots of forest works...

Ok. I'm glad you have new ones. Have to look good, Metsaman!!!

Metsaman, you need to come over to the Arb Show and get yourself a new pair of chainsaw trousers! Would love to meet you.

What do you look like as I have never met you Jon

I believe this is he...

I'll send you over a keg of my lovingly tended home brew- 'Numpty's Nectar'. It is virtually indistinguishable from diesel.

I drink gallons of the stuff . Only down side is you can't enter central Londinium, and I did once make the mistake of attending a candlelit midnight mass after a good couple of jars and healthy portion of Mr's Idiots sprout medley.

Just as old Mrs Crabapple had finished teasing the opening chords of 'Hark the Herald Angels Sing' out of the

reluctant church organ, I let slip what I intended to be no more than an ephemeral gust to drift gently down the pews unnoticed. Unfortunately I had underestimated the incredible chemistry occurring within my stomach as well as my proximity to one of the many hundred flickering white candles.

The church is now in a fairly sorry state having had it's congregation halved overnight and struggling with a window repair bill of biblical proportions.

Luckily I escaped with almost no injury due to the fact that the devastating blast zone was entirely behind me. I picked my way through the debris, muttering consoling words to the wounded about the mysterious ways of the Lord, found the opening where the 3ton solid Oak door had been, and left feeling pleased with myself that I had fulfilled my duties as a Christian citizen for another year.

Why are you not writing full time? Absolutely brilliant, yet again. The wife is looking across at me with a mix of curiosity and disgust at the sobs and snorts I am inadvertently emanating.

Nice one. Big buggers aren't they!

Happy birthday Jon. Day off today?

Crike the forwarder driver's going to be busy!

Interesting find, TCD. Thanks for posting.

Hi all I've had a PM FROM SOMEONE it's very interesting thanks all Jon

Go on Jon, spill the beans. How has your idea been received?

Thuja dismantle last week.

400ft up in the clouds working on a Telecoms tower in Wales!.[ATTACH]144812[/ATTACH]

Awesome pic. Love to climb summat that high!

As Dean says (and a rule to which he does not adhere I Note!)

 

It's no good without pictures!

Here ya go....

Because I can see that I am never going to convince many of you that just to have an unattached fast rope option is a good idea, perhaps it would be more interesting to have another Arbtalk survey.

 

Fast rope down from 50 foot

 

Who would you be prepared to do this for on a promise?

 

Monica for me, it is hard to believe that she is fifty years old (youngster compared to me!) but has matured like a fine red wine.

Just think, all that experience!

Holly Willoughbooby....

Missing a pic?

Yes :-)

Bloody hell Steve, have you had a night at a crack house?

No, but someone definitely pissed in his cheerios...

Have you thought of testing Chinese chopsticks no one has ever tested chopsticks and it is important to know which ones handle the best

I'd find that very helpful, good shout.
