  1. Past hour
  2. And so it goes on. An on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on... Game over now for working the job.
  3. I nearly tagged you when this post went up!
  4. In the summer here the guys go dog poo path strimming.... In the winter they work in the road..... I wouldn't bother...
  5. Tip bashing today. Two loads to dump then rake and mow up to finish the job.🥵
  6. I could drive around fine thanks. I seem to remember cruising past your stuck ranger then driving around the bit you got your avant stuck in trying to tow you out without getting stuck … I’d say they are pretty good tyres 😉😂 and yes the Eder winch is a fine thing. Was using it on Friday winch out some decent sized windblown in the woods. Very handy tool.
  7. Today
  8. Morning, finally got a long lie! Dry here after some rain through the night. Off to flail some wader scrapes!
  9. I'm in, office day today. Fur, Bet, Terror, Worse
  10. Morning Lovely start to a day of collecting felled Euc. Split and stack. Have a great one.
  11. Yes Badgers do peel hedgehogs . Have seen it myself .
  12. Wordle 1,004 4/6 ⬜⬜⬜🟩🟩 ⬜⬜🟨🟩🟩 🟩⬜🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 In fairness to me, three was a viable answer, so four is ok.
  13. Wife did it in three as well, bloody fuming’ I am!
  14. And as to hedgehogs-which struggle of course-leaving aside the road carnage.I know of only 2 animals that are effective killers-tho there are possibly more.A terrier will watch and wait,as soon as the wee creature eventually re-opens its body,they pounce,again and again etc.The best killer tho is the badger,I work at a property with a huge network of setts,its fairly routine to walk the woodland paths and find hedgehog skins inverted and tossed aside like discarded banana skins.Whilst I'm not into the lets kill badgers coz of tb gig,They are like us-opportunists/omnivores.Curlew /pheasant/duck nests-all eggs gone.Really big lamb bodies in the woods completely beheaded-they just take the Brains-best bit.They dont mess about!
  15. I'm starting to rant here-but if I spend 20 odd mins on my knees painstakenly planting say,100 lettuce/salad plants at a customers then find nxt morning they've been scoffed by adventurous,bold molluscs-I'll not be a happy bunny-in fact I'll be something like an extremely pissed off were-bunny,and slug pellets will be used albeit sparingly.Ive been schlepping around gardens/veg patches for many/many moons-I've yet to see a single bird/hedgehog imbibe them.On the other hand, I've picked up literally dozens of broken-knecked birds outside conservatories.Not noticed any popular movement to start ripping out the pvc monstrosities yet tho?
  16. And of course,this IS the issue with being environmently friendly-everyones into it until their ethics collide with their pockets,wants needs,etc. I look after a few mansions/farms etc with extensive grounds.Many of which have extensive gravel drives/turn arounds etc.Some owners mention their ethical concerns with me 'spotting' these hard surface areas with glyphosate treatment.So here's your choices then,would you like me to spend my entire morning visit on my hands and knees (in an effin rage)and I'll not be back matey/or shall I call up my extensive team of victorian urchins who given a shilling an hour will fall to this menial task with much gusto?Or,shall I spend 10 minutes spotting your gravel areas which will keep it clean for approx.A month 🤔🙄
  17. Yesterday
  18. Still-tho its not entirely fair,I DO think its up to us 'pro's to attempt to educate them-they know the score ok-and dont wish to look 'uncool',they know-we know its their issue-not ours tbh,I find its easy enuff to shame them.My line is-do you really WANT to make 4 or 5 barely fluffy helpless Song thrush chicks starve not 5 metres from your kitchen window?Do you,Do you REALLY want that to happen-honestly? 🤔
  19. I have a Timberwolf 150 this is the shaft where the hyrdrolic pump is is there a spacer missing 1 mechanic says there is one says there isn’t ??
  20. Absolutely,you respectfully point out the 'recommendations',which most customers 'get',on the other hand some of my customers completely freak out seeing an inch of growth on their usually extensive privet hedges.Its like the 'omg-there's yellow blooms on my lawns',the day after you've just cut them!O.c.d issues I fear-how DARE stuff grow 🙄
  21. trouble is you say you cannot cut the hedge till the beginning of august and tell them why they just get someone else to do it. the ordinary household just want it cut.
