I never went down that route in the end. I did the course because i was going to do a bit of self employed groundwork on a part time basis and in the end went back full time with my other employer. That said i don't regret doing it and I use a saw for my own firewood etc so it is handy. I can't see how it wouldn't show commitment though because it isn't/wasn't cheap. Why are you doing it just out of interest? Dan

Yep i have done it, it was a weeks course with the test at the end. The test was quite intense (well for me anyway). Maintenance part was quite straightforward but the bit in the woods was more involved. I had to fell a tree using a cut that the examiner selected(split level in my case) and get it hung up in another tree, then get it onto the deck, sned it and cut to length. I had a hell of a job because instead of rolling it out the easy way i had a lapse of concentration and did the cut the wrong side which basicly meant i had to roll it through the tree it was hung up on. Remember to always use your chainbrake before you take a step in the woods with the saw, i think they said if the examiner saw you take one step without it on you would fail. I was the only person on the course that paid for it privately the rest were all sent on it by their employers. Dan

Does that mean you could make the 28th? Sorry i get easily confused! Dan

I had a look at the site. To be honest i didn't understand the schedule but based on the dates you put i propose we go on the 28th. Anyone else? Dan

Here Here. We still on for tomorrow night Graham? Dan

Nothing like planning ahead huh, as long as nothing comes up in the meantime I am up for it, it was good fun last time. Dan

Cool i vote for the Goat I hate to think what DVDs you carry around with you Dan

Sounds good to me, the problem with us lot is we are not very good at arranging anything. Pick a date Pete as a starter. Dan

Yep weather looks interesting at the mo but plenty of time for them to change their mind yet. Dan

I am up for it, Adi you coming along? Dan

Sealife centre in Yarmouth is Ok but a bit pricy. Some good pub walks around North Norfolk. Billy Bells skeet range is in Yarmouth, bit rough but after nearly 2 weeks in the caravan with kids you will be gagging to go. Difficult to say really it depends on what you like doing, there is a reasonable train link from Yarco to Norwich etc so you could explore Norfolk by train? Dan

Hmm not a law expert but he must have crossed that line already surely. Sometimes I wonder if this country would be better ruled by the monarch directly instead of via a parliament which thinks so short term because of the length of their government term. How many difficult decisions get bumped back again and again because its an election year/fear of offending or annoying an element of society etc. Dan

how old are are your kids?

Well the price was good so as long as the bill reflects what was said sorted, he sounds quite relaxed about these things. Dan

Yep he was bloody good cheers. Mind you I haven't had the bill yet. Dan

arrr no, no and no. Ask my wife a post on PW is as good as it gets! How are you anyway, cheers for the number of the digger hire? Dan

Just wanted to say thanks to Graham for taking me rabbit shooting on Sat. I had a great time and although i used to do quite a bit of target shooting about 10 years ago it was a new and enjoyable experience. Cheers dude! Dan

wow unbelievable. Its time Britian grew some and sorted this out i.e. make it very clear that people are welcome to share our way of life but not to change it. Dan

Are there any links for the story? Dan

I not sure I see the need for a shooting photo section at all. Why do you need to take a photo and share? Dan

Anyway you started it, i have no idea what i did to provoke you. Dan

i did wonder, i take you had to clean it all up then. Looking forward to whaever you are brewing..... whatever that means

For the love of god don't fire this one up again. Dan

Didn't Iceland go broke? They are all still there so the people or internal trade doesn't disappear. I guess you can't borrow at a reasonable rate for quite a while?? How can we defend ourselves physically if we are broke? - Don't see why not. Is there a **** or bust final card to play or have we already played it? - put it all on red? Dan
