  1. we the willing....
  2. homeowners going with the cheaper work because they dont realise in advance how much it can go wrong or be done wrong by someone who isnt properly skilled or just doesnt care about quality of work you get paid less for subcontract work because you havent done the legwork in it before getting up the tree. in theory you should maybe get it all on the ground then sod off and leave the clearing up to the main contractor (haha yeah right as if) "If you work for a living, why do you kill yourself working?"
  3. personally i think its admirable to see people are trying to train chimps to use a chainsaw for felling
  4. the unreported side of fly-tipping is the preventative measures against fly tipping make good dogging spots really hard to find

    could be. defo looks like it was meant to go that way. theyre working from there. stupid text strip is right in the way just when the action breaks. looks like a helmet and strap going right. surely nobody would try and drop all that top freefall with a building so close

    ive been him, its a wild ass ride. its roped too tight at the bottom, too many turns on it, ropeman didnt let it run. theres the hidden skill in holding a rope, knowing when to let it run free.
  8. but 4mix is still 2stroke. its something fancy but its still 2stroke. and it looks like all the other blowers only more squarish. and again youre all reading too much into a comment just (admittedly not very nicely/helpfully) giggling at someone who just fcuked their new toy. id say its easier to have confused the two aspen rather than to think the new machine wasnt 2stroke. but what do i know im just the man in the street with a garage full of machines getting told off by a bunch of old men who we assume never laughed at someone elses misfortune ever in their long long long lives?
  9. well apart from a mower and such, i cant think of anything thats not running on mix. all the handheld stuff ive ever used is 2stroke on mix. all the other blowers in stihl range are 2stroke. theres one hole for fuel none for oil. i feel people are reading too much into my comment and taking it (somehow) more as anger? rather than just pisstaking. unhelpful, and im sure not the most polite, but hardly a warzone.
  10. no not angry, a bit harsh maybe. not sure why anyone would think any blower or hand tools wasnt 2 stroke. plus i did say it wasnt helpful
  11. well i cant help but youre officially a dick.
  12. drive through in a toyota hilux with the doors welded up and a powerboat outboard on the back
  13. tell them its now 2300 euro for the extra admin and re-assessment
  14. that garage is toast! both birch trees. odd.
  15. i see you know all about it
  16. doggers spunk

    id rather park and walk in than give him the satisfaction of taking my money
  18. nissan micras f*ckin deserve to be squished. nasty horrible little cars!
  19. "pyracantha" you all with your posh fancy scientific names for stuff we call it by its common name: vicious vile bastardthorny little bugger
  20. bulldog ones arent bad
  21. growing mushroooms? you sound like a fun guy. bazinga!
  22. ewell axes sounds like theyre from yorkshire. maybe you could buy gum for it

    i agree, environmentally solid, but as far as i can tell ulez excludes only about 2% of vehicles that were coming in. so how much did he spend on it all to cut out 2% that were polluting. that being my point. similarly congestion charge seemed to assume people were driving in for a giggle not for work.
