  1. Boris resigns.. I knew that prick couldn't help himself if a leadership election was on the cards.. Good riddance to bad rubbish..
  2. Most weekend warrior tree workers have the sense to say no when it comes to chopping the odd tree, explains why there ain't hundreds of accidents every other week.. having said that, I think most people who attempt tree work for the first time soon realize whats being taken on after they cut the first lower branches.. nothing like cutting off a branch that looks like it might weigh no more than a bag of sugar to suddenly realize a heavy sack of scaffold couplings has just missed your head..
  3. He's got a wait on his hands, Theresa May said she's gonna do a Corbyn if that what it takes... The question is is there gonna be a leadership contest, and if so will Boris be able to help himself and join the fray. something else to consider, if May has the backing of enough MP's she can dump all the brexiteers and use the rest of Parliament get her brexit plans through the house.. and those brexiteers know it..
  4. David Davies resigns... Oh what a summer this is turning out to be.. Come on Mr Fox, I need you gone as well.. Boris, how long before you get a back bone?.
  5. You do realize we're on the internet and its the internet age.. No one gives a fk about your spelling conventions anymore.. or gives a damn about an ellipsis.. I/we, would like to see what you're trying to get at, and thats it..
  6. What are you blathering on about, don't you think the police would of given her the run around if she wasn't a plausible victim.. they do that a lot as well.. In this case they obviously thought she was speaking the truth.. So, she's a good liar or telling the truth.. you take your pick and makes your choice..
  7. I did read the link, most of it anyway.. I think everyone there saw what happened but didn't want to get involved, and those that sided with him stuck up for him in any way they felt they could.. I wouldn't take any note of conflicting statements as well.. its been proved that everyone see's something different if asked to describe what took place ten minutes previous.. Thats why eye whiteness statements don't hold the same weight as they once did... which is why in this particular case its one persons word against another....
  8. And its the job of the police to figure if they have plausible witness/victim.. they decided they did..
  9. I don't know, what evidence are we talking about when it looks like its one persons word against another... thats how these things turn out, sexual assault isn't done in plain view of other people ordinary..
  10. Its the job of the police to determine if a crime has been committed, and if they think one has then why would they do the work of the defense?.. In a case like this were no one wants to get involved, witnesses who might be willing to turn a blind eye, or imagine she'd overreacted to a bit of horseplay.. its even more likely they'd let the defendant pay for his own defense work..
  11. Those climbing thingis look like a good idea, where do you get em from I might try it on my practice tree..
  12. Pity Scotland weren't there then, goin off that they'd piss the final...
  13. Come on ENGLAND...
  14. LWH..........2100, 750, 1400.. weight 315KG.. 24HP enggine.. global recycling...
  15. Read it, I think the fella did grab her when he was drunk.. or otherwise intoxicated on drugs.. And, what kind of person has a party as well... I mean a grown up person and not a half witted teenager. this bloke definitely did something creepy, if you're asking me.. Think about it, why would someone out the blue accuse a man of groping her for no reason at all?.. why did he invite her to a party ?.. why was he texting her beforehand?. No, this fella set a trap for her, then pounced when he imagined he'd got the nod, or lost control of his emotions.. If your asking me he's trying too hard to paint a pic of saintly innocence, not working on me, he's a creep of sorts for sure..
  16. Yea they ain't cheap, you could make your own if you can weld.. but as someone on another thread pointed out, by the time you've faffed about you'd be as well buying one.. think of it as part of a good toolbox, chainsaw chipper and arb trolley.. your not always gonna chip under the tree as well so the arb trolley can be used to move the branches to the chipper on the drive.. Its like most things that cost a bit but are really handy.. once its bought, you'll soon forget about the price..
  17. I'd say you might be better off with a reg coats arb trolley as well.. cost about 4'50 mind but definatly more versatile.. you can put a small dumpy bag on it for blowing chip into if you want.. won't break in half in the first week of use as well..
  18. I recon if the link worked I could comment on it.. how much is it?..
  19. Look on Utube for stealth camping in a camper, lots of advice on there..
  20. If Micheal Gove is looking at woodburning stove's with a view to banning them, then you can bet others are as well.. I'll give it a couple of years and then they'll bring in some law to get em banned one way or the other..
  21. I'd like to see the stats on failing your tree tickets.. I expect the failure rate is close to zero.. so I wouldn't be worrying about failing those.. So all you have to do is think about your chipper tipper combo and how you think it makes sense to you.. as I see it you end up trading convenience for time on the job.. be quicker with a bigger chipper to get through the waste, but be easier to run a smaller chipper into the back of a van.. plus its out of site from the thieves when its in there.. something else to consider as a plus..
  22. No idea.. but I have considered ever possible alternative of doin tree work.. including what your suggesting.. chipper in back of van, chip into tipper trailer.. do that with the small jobs, and hire a grab wagon if the jobs on the big side.. being a one man band one tends to have to think out the box...
  23. Sounds like a good idea..
  24. Phew, that was dangerous making that prediction just as England missed that penalty...
  25. I told one mon England were gonna win the world cup so they better get these penalties in..
