Whats your multione loader doing today ?
Mick Dempsey replied to digaholedumper's topic in General chat
Got it working now. I think I’m in a position to review all of the arb grabs once I’ve used this for a week or so. Fixed, knockabout and rotator. IMG_2055.MOV -
Nurse! He’s got out of bed again and is wandering round the ward.

Bit uncalled for wasn’t it? No need to call him that!

Of course, one of the reasons people can be cheaper than you is that you’re too expensive.

How much were they Chris?

I think there is a tendancy to believe anyone cheaper than you is a cowboy or a busy fool and anyone more expensive is a rip-off merchant. (not related to the ash or ironmike btw) I have been in trouble with clients where there is limited space to remove material. Suddenly you realise that in order to get the stuff through the doorway/round the passage you’re going brush the walls/doorframe. But to get the job done in a day you need to get a decent armful out every time. So every journey you run the risk of damage, and you also have to watch the groundy who doesn’t care that much (sometimes!)

In order of preference. Germany. Scandanavia. Japan France/Italy/Uk US (in spite of the stupid screw threads) After that it’s pot luck.

Let me explain my post Stubs…

Strange how this thread fizzled out. I mean a few Putin/Russia fan boys might be rethinking their positions, or maybe not.

You’ll laugh about it someday, just not today!

Honestly, if that is all staying in there, it’s a days work for two guys, max. Easy rigging. Worst bit might be metal in the trunk. £1500 is bonkers.

According to this guy, yes.

Nightmare fuel!

Lawn is taking a bit of a pasting there!

Meh, I’ve heard all this before, I don’t doubt we’re on a runaway train heading for a huge wreck at some point though. I predict a decimation to a few million survivors, eking out a subsistence living on radiated earth. Another species, perhaps apes, to take over, wise Orangutangs, clever chimps and warlike gorillas living together with us as a wild animal raiding their crops. Loincloths, there has to be loincloths of course..

A bit, but it’s not exactly a gotcha is it? No laws broken, no deception.

Just got home and checked. Apparently a Non-Dom can live in the UK all the time, but for tax purposes it is considered that their main residence is abroad.

So I read the article. She’s an Indian citizen, as an Indian she cannot hold dual nationality, she pays tax on her earnings abroad and she pays tax on her earnings in the UK. What is the issue?

As you reach the end of your working life, you realise that everyday where you wake up, go to work, face challenges and overcome them using your experience and equipment you’ve paid for, have a laugh, eat lunch, drink tea, finish the job, get paid, put the stuff away, go in your home, have your dinner and have a drink, well… It’s bloody magic!

I remember that one Dave, Nasty. My worst one was 6 broken ribs falling out of a tree in 2012. I was 49 at the time, out for 8 weeks I think.

tree surgeons are 'too old to go up trees'
Mick Dempsey replied to WirralBoy's topic in General chat
When you see the money the councils are offering it’s not much surprise that the younger guys are going to the private sector. -
Those cast aluminium fins used to lose bits a lot, the problem can lie when you don’t realise it, not notice the extra vibration, different noise etc. Goes on for months and it causes other issues. Mine lost a bit off the fin a couple of years after I bought it, then again over here 5 years later. As Swinny says I thought they’d made an improved aftermarket replacement.

Grinders are nasty. Every time I use one I remember Aspen Bob calls Angle grinders, Angry Grinders. There are as well. Best of luck with the recovery, hope you can get back in the saddle.

Meetings with remarkable trees, the Arbtalk version
Mick Dempsey replied to Steve Bullman's topic in Picture Forum
Agreed, big but not massive, every branch in decent nick, minimal deadwood. Approaching it’s peak. -
I see where you’re coming from, but I cannot reconcile that bark with any ash bark image I can find on google images. As you say, might be wrong though.
