  1. FWIW that’s the most pleasing thing I’ve seen on the internet all day, and I watch a lot of ‘dogs reunited with their owner’ vids, so it’s a crowded field.
  2. I think he mentions the client was going to get a sculpture done with the stump.
  3. I hate strimming with a blade or line or whatever. Hard on the hips and everything else. Haven’t you got a flail for the alpine?
  4. But your point about how the French system is a better experience is valid.
  5. Just to qualify about the 70%, it’s not the state’s money, it’s the taxpayers (ie yours) Edit. Did you amputate your own finger?
  6. I reckon there are guys who make a living out of that in the UK, but you need to build up contacts/regular clients. May have to hold your nose and do a few reductions on the way! We all have to do the less glamorous stuff from time to time to keep the scoreboard ticking over.
  7. Nice Don, scary place to be, so low and tied in like that.
  8. #things you can say in srt and on Hampstead Heath.
  9. @finchyo has a skid for sale @Mark Bolam PS. A grab like the one pictured is better for tree work, as you can get larger pieces through narrow gaps.
  10. I had some success using petrol with a rag to get sign writing off. Still fiddly, but it speeds the process up.
  11. Looks like a silverside husky in the box.
  12. We’re all one false move from this stuff. Hope you’re back to work ASAP.
  13. Cancel your subscription then.
  14. It’s a brave man that puts a reduction up these days!
  15. I didn’t know! Since I left the UK there’s this thing where you burn your shit wood in one container to dry the good wood in another, the government pays you apparently, kiln drying isn’t it?
  16. I’m devoted to her, I don’t care who knows it. (except the wife, prolly best if she doesn’t find out)
  17. Well, have a look at the recruitment section of various sites. No offence, but you’re clearly a groundy, not a climber. Where are you based? What are you on atm? What sort of work are you doing? Sounds like Sunday night grumbling..
  18. The document is on page three of this thread, but here you are..
  19. Did you read it? Not being knocky, just asking
