  1. Nice work mate,i always like seeing other climbers using the throwline.Beautiful Copper beech and glad too see you using the silky...i thought most were seduced by the 150 now
  2. Buy an older 261, got a 2011 model awhile back and its an absolute dream..no issues
  3. Anyone ever forgot to refill the chain oil resevoir yet...or to tell the groundie your cutting...they are really quiet. Luved the stihl battery saw after using it only once
  4. Ballsey move on the wires...i likey!
  5. Personally,i wouldnt trust anyone who "lost" there skills cards and certificates.Its not difficult to put important documents into a safe place at home. If thats his kind of mentality whats he gonna be like on site...oops sorry boss forgot my boots...oh sorry mate forgot what time i was supposed to start today...the van??? I dunno...um... i parked it...somewhere.
  6. I used to work removing asbestos so i know the type of asbestos used in roofing.As mentioned before dont drop anything on it as its quite brittle and could break. As long as asbestos is left intact its perfectly safe,its only when its broken and the dust and fibres are airborn that its dangerous. I wouldnt even bother with a facemask just leave well alone.If by chance some cuttings do fall onto the roof then id say take precautions with a face mask. The chances of inhaling dust and fibres while out in the open air is miniscule anyway infact breathing in petrol fumes and wood dust all day is actually just as bad for your health
  7. Treemotion or sequoia for me
  8. It'll be an intresting last couple of games if spurs win tomorrow night at stoke and put more pressure on the foxes.Nice to see the hammers in contention for european football,billic has them playin well
  9. Subtle as usual bolam
  10. I can scamper along branches like that without spikes.... and 2 grand f#@! that
  11. No...fill me in
  12. Thanks rye i'll pass that on
  13. Hi all, I was just curious as to how many of you guys and girls use stihl 2 stroke oil in your machines. Ive never used it and not had that many issues with my stihl machines,stihl do recommend you use there own 2 stroke oil. The reason im asking is a mate has problems with a newer stihl chainsaw,he returned it too the place he bought it to be told the saw would not be fixed under warranty as he didnt used stihl brand 2 stroke mix... Im of the opinion the seller is playing silly buggers. What do you think...
  14. Totally agree,unless im gettin paid i aint climbing, especially 200ft
  15. Just after 2...
  16. Treemotion or sequoia will fit you perfect,im 30-32 waist and ive used both
  17. I was taught to back cut above the gob 1 inch or so
  18. Im unsure if the public were warned or the situation was explained to the people who complained.The monolith in question was in a park,so a high amenity area,and i understand peoples concerns but it seems to me that LA's seem too concernd about complaints being made,tarnishing the councils reputation than actually doing whats right and promoting a more diverse ecology in woodlands and in this instance parks
  19. Although i agree with the concept i have to say that as an LA employee we do try to ensure our urban landscape is maintained,safe and pleasing to the eye. It is the latter however that can prove problematic- for example a dead stem was left as habitat for various wildlife to enjoy but had to be removed due to the constant complaints from the public. Unfortunately aesthetics are more important to some than promoting wildlife ecology.
  20. I admire your passion but,no offence intended,just too long winded for me too read through.
  21. Ur just showin off lol
  22. The wife was at the doctors couple of weeks back with tennis elbow,its basically tendonitis,she was advised to rest her arm as much as possible and take anti inflamitories. Its still giving her problems...
  23. Guarenteed champions league football next season after there result today. Id love to see them win the premiership with players bought for a fraction of the price the big clubs payed. As mick said above some players will be cherry picked by other clubs kante,mahrez,drinkwater,huth to name a few but its great for the foxes fans...and gary linekar of course
  24. Pushing your toes down or raising your heels of the ground will engage your calf muscles.Calfes are made up of slow twitch muscle fibres which means they are designed for endurance work not lifting heavy loads. Look at how your lifting the load and adjust your feet to put the weight on your quads,glutes and hamstrings ie flat feet,knees slightly bent with a neutral spine. Your calfes will get stronger with time its just painful at first as they are not used to the type of work you are doing. In the mean time try taking on some protein at meal times to help repair the damaged muscle tissue.
