Facebook drivel about Oak trees and flooding
Mick Dempsey replied to wills-mill's topic in General chat
I love FB, it's just the other people who ruin it. -
An estate agent who works for the same company as my wife took this at a clients house. Seen from the fireplace looking up the chimney.

Don't get me started on FB nonsense, the amount of posts I've written and then erased realizing I don't want to get into it with someone. I just hide them, saves bother. -
Ha ha! when I had a LR I bought a few of the plethora of glossy mags available for sufferers of this particular fetish. And yes, seen one, seen 'em all.

Sorry Roy, missed your post. They're the things you slot through to lock them a certain height. I don't think anything more complex than a shelf is needed for storage. Security wise I've seen a heavy duty chain through all the handles.

Any excuse.....

Very nice, are you going to fit a grab of any sort? Or is it compromising the arm weight too much?
-
Usually when it gets cut with your saw/silky and becomes too short. Probably just me...

Of course I understand the concept. The kid asks about ideas for improving his business and gets told not to be a breadhead and become life rich. I think that's nonsense that's all. Like a feel good meme on FB.
-
I don't see it like that, building a business and improving your earnings can be more fulfilling than becoming "life rich" whatever that is. It's too cliched to say "oh he works hard, he must be unhappy and stressed" Or "look at him playing football in the back garden with his kid how life rich he must be" Lazy stereotyping.
-
Oh come on! "Life rich" or "rich" the two aren't mutually exclusive.

Nothing wrong with a bit of ambition, fella wants to get on, more power to his elbow. My advice, start getting some machinery, splitter, small tractor, advertise, build a client base. Good luck to you.

Whats the worst thing you've done to your rope?

Put it through a chipper. -

Mick Dempsey replied to stihlmadasever's topic in Climbers talk
Most of the above. Using horse power on a rope to pull out a stuck machine is really naughty. Light lowering off the end I'll do most days. -
Why not put it on here, post some photos, pretend to ask if anyone knows any sites to sell it, see if you get an offer?

arbtalker's arbtrucks thread is where your itch can be scratched.

amenable to what?

Never had any problems, but there you go.

53 plate transit crew cab tipper....any issues!?
Mick Dempsey replied to Big T's topic in Arb-Trucks
90 bhp is gutless by modern standards, and will embarrass on a motorway when loaded. But..... I've only just scrapped mine after 14 years for a newer one with more power. Was a great money maker. My 2cents, buy it, keep the hilux to pull the chipper and tools around. -
It seems to me that both trucks have a good reputation, no inherent problems, and the differences are minimal. It's really down to your gut instinct as to which you feel is the better condition truck.

Lovely powerful saw, build quality poor, I'm sure the next one will have ironed out the problems.

Climber / Groundsman wanted for January ( Reigate )
Mick Dempsey replied to Bentonarb's topic in General chat
This sort of Ariel rescue? -
As for the 6wheel Landy, you're 'avin a giraffe!

I had a look at getting a Yankee truck, a few things put me off. 1: fuel. 2: when they go wrong getting someone to fix them can be problematic. 3. Dollar is strong against the pound and the euro.

That was my old ranger, the Mazda one. But I'll bow to your knowledge. Might of been 2005, thinking about it.
