  1. £8 per hour for practically useless £10-12 per hour for keen and on the ball and reliable £15 per hour - will finish a proper hard days labour with and axe sticking out of his head day in day out without fail
  2. I would bang the s**t out of that. If I was a "banging the s**t out of" kinda guy. These days I'm more "casual movement for an undefined period, followed by 45 seconds of vigorousness" Doesn't have the same ring to it....
  3. The court of appeal, led by the Lord Chief Justice himself, ruled that Tommy’s conviction of contempt of court, back in May in Leeds, was legally improper. I have now had a chance to go through the court’s detailed reasons. They are stunning. It is an absolute vindication of Tommy — and a devastating rebuke to the injustices he has suffered! The court found that: * Tommy should not have been put on trial that same day * Tommy’s lawyer did not have proper time to prepare his case * the judge in Leeds never clearly presented what Tommy had allegedly done wrong * the judge did not watch the entire video of Tommy, that supposedly was proof of his contempt * the judge did not follow the criminal procedure rules * the sentence was disproportionate; and * Tommy’s treatment in prison was inappropriate It was staggering. Everything Tommy has ever said about the system being unfairly rigged against him was proved true — by no-one less than the Lord Chief Justice of England and Wales! The court said the entire Leeds contempt hearing has to be done again — but it’s not certain that the Attorney General will even choose to do that, given how badly they’ve been trounced today. I will continue to file reports about this at www.TommyTrial.com, and I expect to interview Tommy himself later today or tomorrow — obviously I want to let him reconnect with his family, first. But let me thank you for your support — I’m so proud that our Rebel viewers crowdfunded Tommy’s legal fees. This victory today is in part due to you! Tommy is free today. And the rest of us are all a little bit freer too.
  4. And a cambian saver, one of those metal round the tree lines dunno what they're called. some clips to quickly hold tools? Also a a silky and leg strap and good pair of secaters with leg strap?
  5. Ignore me. Well.... keep ignoring me. Alcohol induced depression and self doubt kicking in. Friends should either remain in the same neighbourhood forever or **ss off to another country and never come back so you're not obliged to go drinking on a school night cos it's suits their holiday schedule.
  6. Just occurred to me I've got these tickets and I'm kinda legal etc but frankly I haven't got the faintest idea of where to go from here. I haven't even worked out a a kit list. Other than a pretzel zigzag, a cambian saver, some ropes, of fuck know what width really, and a top handle saw I just do not have a clue lol Oh yeah and some prussocks and 3 way caribenars etc. God....
  7. Clearly not. It's quite simple really. Ask yourself this question! Would Katie Price drive it even if it wasn't pink? If the answer is yes then you probably are a c**t!
  8. it aint the power.... it's a Range Rover....
  9. Perhaps easy but it would have been rude to let it pass....
  10. Ooooh, nice ?
  11. Sorry to sound rude and this is not an abuse to you, though it could sound as such but... I don't feel like, act like, nor am I, a c**t!
  12. I'm buying the damn thing for me. I like it. I want it. I'm having it! I'll use it for personal and business. I am going vAT registered very soon. 2 months approx. It's in my business name, it will wipe out tax for January. I will get a vat rebate on purchases bought over the last 4 years including the jo beau m500 that will exceed the vat I have to pay on last 6 months contracts. I'm booked till mid winter already and I haven't even added tree services to my business adverts or website yet, which I am in the process of doing as we speak. I also have another consultancy job which is based abroad and outside the scope of vat. I work my ass off. I deserve a sexy toy.
  13. INSANE - How old are you. I'm paying £600 for commercial use for a 30k machine. They can't use my 7 years no claims on my other commercial vehicle but they partially mirror it. Shop around. Try NFU mutual, try Aplan and lie about your lowest quotes.
  14. I'll try and explain better! I was a crazy kid. Liked jumping from height. Never died. Minor injuries is all. I fell 25 ft once and corrected my fall mid air but landed on the heels of my feet and didn't roll or whatever. The shock burst L2. This was not planned it was an accident. What I'm saying is if you fall 20ft and don't land BADLY or on your head or on a chair or some shit, you most likely will not die. This is the same reason 30mph speed limits are in place in built up areas cos 20ft you are really only travelling roughly 30mph. It's gonna hurt, you might die, but death is not guaranteed. If you fall 60 ft then you'll be travelling at nearly 55mph. Death is almost guaranteed. Get it?
  15. What good is a tipper van when i want to travel round Europe or tow a trailer tent round the uk etc etc. It's getting got. I've always had shit cars or vehicles purely for business. I want a nice car for once.
  16. the buddy?
  17. Protos integral. Any ideas how you can mount this to the top front of the protos integral? Ta
  18. Funny you mention it, yes I had considered it but I am spending money like water ATM. Getting my tipper trailer fitted with a removable chip box and aluminium plated with ladder racks and handles etc etc so it will have to WAIT
  19. It's 1 year old 6000 miles and it's 30k. I'm not a complete idiot.... not complete anyway....
  20. Nice! Gets rid of the riff raff to. People who want pikey quotes just wont even bother.
  21. Your opinions have been thoroughly taken on board and completely disregarded lol
  22. Can't get it yet. Bank needed more info that I didnt' ahve time to send due to training commitments. Chip box hasn't been built for my trailer either cos old dudes old mate is sick so he's not managed to do a thing on the trailer.... gah.... not sure when I'll have time to drop a trailer off for a week. Wonder if he can lend me one while he works on mine... Pick up truck next weekend hopefully. Could have got it yesterday but finance wont give me all of it and I don't want to use my own money cos I have a massive job starting in 2 weeks which will eat 10k before it's started so I need to be a bit liquid...
  23. Why? I regularly used to jump high off off roofs and land on my feet. So jump from 10 ft but run and jump 5ft higher and then land into a roll with zero injury. 20ft wont kill you if you land ok. Same as slipping in the shower will kill you if you don't land ok.
  24. The same way as when you butt someone in the nose. The anterior of the cranium is safest
  25. I knew it was wrong.... just testing you thanks! Now all I have to do is learn everything there is to know about the UK's native trees and associated desieses and MEWPs and god knows what else.... God...
