  1. Fantastic specimen,looks healthy too
  2. Pink tulip tree or dawson magnolia
  3. Great pictures mate. Good result all round
  4. Theres very little difference in temperature between the two.I have pfanner gladiators type a and c,the a 's have zips at the back of the thighs to open and allow air in for ventilation. To be honest if its above 10 degrees your gettin sweaty bollocks no matter what trousers you wear.One of the joys of the industry along with condensation on your helmet...thats the helmet on your head by the way
  5. Shinny pads i think you'll find mick
  6. If my employees werent looking after there equipment id be going down the route of discaplinary proceedures. To many ifs and buts in asking employees to bring there own saws imo
  7. As per usual with these things people are passionate about theyre opinions and views,i dont mean to offend anyone and i know others participating in this discussion mean no ill to others aswell. Also it seems we have veered off the track on this one (as per usual on arbtalk) and ended up discussing gun laws on the states when the OP was about the shootings goin on today and yesterday. I really hope the shootings stop and people can investigate these trajic events. My best wishes and prayers goes to those families that have lost loved ones
  8. Wouldnt it be fairer to put the gun law issue to a democratic vote rather than simpley denying the problem and denying the American citizens there right to have a say on the subject. I find the fact that you say way of life,as in weapons are a way of life for americans very very scarey. What about they people who die each year from gun crime? What about theyre way of life ?what about theyre rights? Your attitude is unfortunatly indemic to the american psyche and i think it stems from a culture that has evolved around weapons and there use.
  9. And what does the back ground check entail exactly? The simple fact is guns are being used by people to go into schools,kill people on the streets and attack police officers. If you or anyone else thinks that this is acceptable you are deluded. How many times has president Obama pleaded for gun laws to be reformed after yet another attack on the innocent people of America but has been rebuffed because the big gun companies in the states hold such an immence political power and influence. As for purchasing firearms in the UK it is illegal and therefore more difficult to buy firearms over here than stateside,ok,anyone who is determined enough and who knows people who would sell firearms can purchase firearms but the point is its a hellava lot more difficult to obtain firearms if they are illegal rather than just someone walking into a shop,passing a background check and walking back onto the street armed and potentialy dangerous. To compare UK gun laws to Americas is irrelevant,we havent had any mass shooting in a very long time as our politicians made it very difficult to purchase weapons in the UK. The problem as i see it is Americans are so used to weapons and the ease at which they are purchased they genuinly dont see carrying a weapon or the use of a weapon as a big deal,its written into the 2nd ammendment,its seen as normal and that in my opinion is the problem.
  10. America needs to change its gun laws,is it any wonder people and police officers are being shot when anyone can walk into gun shop and purchase an AK47 with very little checks being made..seriously something must be done,how many gun related shootings or fatalities have they had in the recent past in schools or education facilities. Shocking
  11. Its difficult not to see this as another cause of a race war as some civil rights types in America will no doubt turn it into anyway. I saw the video clip on social media before it was taken down and i have to say it was shocking,the police officer had no right what so ever to shoot that guy. Lets not forget he had a child and his partner by his side..surley any safety minded individual would absolutly not fire a weapon into a car where a child and innocent passenger were sitting. I really think we are seeing the start of something awful happening in the states and its gonna get worse before it gets better
  12. How are these officers being trained with use of weapons,its seems shoot first ask questions later
  13. What the hell is goin on in America?? First there are news reports and a video of cops shooting black guys who are posing no threat,one of the guys was getting his ID out at the request of the police officer and got shot anyway,then another who was under restraint got shot in the chest. Now we have people protest marching,confronting Dallas police officers,snipers shooting white police officers. Its mayhem
  14. I think he was refering to you being big boned
  15. I used to use a distel on my lanyard,8mm stein copious eye to eye cord and 8mm teufel berger eye to eye cord.Both were good but i found the distel locked up and was hard to advance or disengage when wet. Ive also used the distel on the hitch climber setup- 8mm boa and 10mm(i think) marlow viper. It was great hitch but i progressed to mechanicals,zigzag and art positioner and havent looked back.Ive had other lanyards and setups ive mentioned previously.Distel with 4 turns. VT, shwabish and knut are others ive played around with
  16. I find being scottish helps fight pain,when your constantly moaning about the weather,how crap your job is,how the english government have screwed us over for years...pain just gets ignored. So theres your answer grow a ginger beard, wear a kilt and dine exsclusivly on deep fried foods..stereotype!
  17. Just realised im talkin funny...srt vt zz rw bb ddrt...ive lost my vowels
  18. So is it true this srt thing is catching on...
  19. I used to chug a protein shake after the gym,or the morning after a workout day,but never used it after a day at work. What i will say is gram for gram cooked fish has the same amount of protein as whey,is digested just as quick but is usually around 50% cheaper,fish also has the benefits of being high in omega fats. If your hugery after work id say take on more simple carbs throughout the day to give you a good constant energy source,nuts are also good in moderation,lots of protein and healthy fats. Just summit for you to concider
  20. Cant think of anything constructive or helpful too say so i l'll just say that setup looks yo modern,shiney and gay
  21. If it goes to court i'll deny it..
  22. Get the stihl vent plus if thats what you want,sod the tree police
  23. It aint all bad Mr cynical haha.There are some people who just post mundane bollocks,on the other hand there are some very interesting people who post beautiful pictures. It is what it is and if it not your thing ...fair do's
