oh man! how do you pick your nose properly with that? youll have to learn to use the other hand.

i forgot to mention the cost of monthy subscription to the enthusiasts magazine
-
if youre buying a bicycle have you considered all the additional costs? youll need some obscenely tight lycra shorts for waving your arse at motorists or "evil planet-killing infidels" as i believe theyre known in cycling circles plus youll need to find some other enthusiasts of tight shorts for them to ride alongside you at 10mph in rush hour on major roads dont forget youll need to find a massive chip to go on your shoulder luckily youll save on parking, fuel, MOT, service and maintenance, road tax, fuel tax, congestion charge, ulez, and the need for a proper religious service when you inevitably depart this world since you will become a soulless inhuman creature once you venture forth into the cycling world. but not to worry, you get to turn up late and sweaty to every social and business meeting, smugly proud of doing your bit to save the planet.

seems fishy

no tree advice but i believe it smells nice there
-
should be a date on that yellow label im sure
-
not seen it but i could prorbably be onboard with crop reasoning. i just dont like pollards and im bored of trying to fix them into normal trees
-
and you come across like a stalker a blind mad one who likes pollards i spoke to someone at a show got a job doing what i said, its where the idea came from. he sent out emails, made enquiries, got bored, went out and found one of the tree firms he wrote to and sat there waiting for brew time. they took him on. said they were impressed with his attitude. pollards are ugly as shit on stick and not particularly good practice. i suppose urine favour of lopping and topping as well are you?
-
not scary just plain ugly. and Mick with "Pollards can be pleasing to look at." yeah sure but only with your eyes closed. or if youre mad. or its dark.
-
f*cking hate repollards. just plain ugly and lazy.
-
"Just repollard them, home in time for Steph’s Packed Lunch with a days money." just means im obviously better than you both, they called me in to fix the bollocks one of you made of their trees last time. *smug face*
-
my future work is often fixing the mess someone else previously made by pollarding something
-
pull on your big boy pants, approach with a ladder and put said ladder into each stem as high as you can go, then use 2 loop slings girthed around the trunk as footholds/handholds, tied in as appropriate. alternatively, cry off sick and never get back to them.

if you dont like the wages ask for more if you dont get more you must be shit if youve got the skill for the job and enjoy it you do the job and get what youre worth

chuck norris. its just his piss bottled.

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?"

personally i think its admirable to see people are trying to train chimps to use a chainsaw for felling

poachers Problems with Trespassers, Fly tippers & Poachers?
manco replied to Johnboysevern's topic in General chat
the unreported side of fly-tipping is the preventative measures against fly tipping make good dogging spots really hard to find -
this is why they make chainsaw trousers in shades of brown
-
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.

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?
