  1. Past hour
  2. Pick all the squares with presidents:
  3. You need three things, fuel, air, spark. If one is missing, it will not work?
  4. Is that because they don't have a qualified instructor in, cpcs or forestry machinery certs.? Or are they npors We have a tracked dumper , its still covered on site as a tracked dumper. Is this npors or lantra that did a cert?
  5. I strongly suspect 4 is fine to pay the bill to have the evergreen ones reduced to under 2M if necessary. Those aren't the concern, it's the deciduous ones next to them which they're much more protective over. It appears to be much sensitive with those. Personally i'm fine with that approach. Again i'm just not certain which way the council will go with this one. Hopefully the deciduous ones dont get affected too much. 😞
  6. Curtis Yarvin - Wikipedia EN.WIKIPEDIA.ORG Like Cummins on steroids. If you want to know why America has turned into a fascist state, look no further.
  7. High Hedges bring out the worst.
  8. Yes, that's possible - all depends how they get on with the neighbours generally. I guess we get a slanted view of the world here with so many threads along the lines of "having a dispute with the ass of a neighbour, what is the legal position, what can we / they do / can't do"... but some neighbours must be friendly somewhere?
  9. I'll have to check. I know the amounts that could be felled without a licence changed, before I started work, with the 1967 act but I thought it was a later act that prevented conversion of forestry to agriculture. The reason I remember is that I worked with a couple of chaps with a Cat 951 that cleared such land and I would have the wood, for selling as pulp. The Cat would push them over and I would knot them out and cut off the root. That came to an end because of the change in the law. I was nearly killed on one job, creating a pony paddock beside a manor house for new owners, the agricultural land all having been sold off to a neighbouring farm, I was working too close behind the cat snedding a birch when the back edge of the power fork caught another birch as he reversed and turned, the top landed on me
  10. Today
  11. Always found it cheaper to buy a new saw rather than rebuild cutoff saws just get too much abuse
  12. Sorry to be a pain , but have you got the right legislation there? 1986 Act only allowed for restocking on conviction.
  13. I don't know because I didn't get a gun of my own ( a webley and scott bolt action .410) till about 72 and I cannot remember how I got the licence but it didn't involve having to see a policeman.
  14. Just been into a site today no certs required for tracked loader or carrier if you don’t sit on it with a seat belt if you stand up it’s a wheelbarrow thats not to say shouldn’t have some training we sent the manual for mine to our local training company, they came out and we spent a afternoon showing them how to use it, they then gave us a certificate
  15. Yes there's been a gun license atleast as far back as post WW2, I was told by grandad buying a shotgun at auction and told he'd have to pop to the police station first. He remembered it well, as the license cost more than the old hammer action side by side shotgun.
  16. Bought from a catalogue too if I recall , I had a mossberg slugster 8+1 that had to be crimped when the regs changed.
  17. The phrase "simmering resentment" comes to mind. No-one likes a freeloader.
  18. That's beautiful - well done!
  19. I see you have double posted Egger . In the other thread is the white piece of paper I was remembering .
  20. In 1968 leaned up against the corner in front of the dogs bed was considered secure . I seem to remember having something I got from the Post Office . It was a small white piece of paper . Could that have been it . It was 17shilling and 6 pence . Or was that a dog license ?
  21. Got any Os . What garden Os , pantie Os ? No letter Os for me gate . Mon Repose .
  22. First attempt at dining table. My wife has been busy with the Tung oil. We used the Lucas planer then the Lucas sander both worked well and were easy to set up. Having trouble deciding on the legs. Initially tried three X shaped black metal but they looked too much like a trestle table, sprayed them gold, better but not right.
  23. From what I've read it's Charlie Kray's stepson who is selling them off after his mother died, might take a mooch over to the auction, not that I'll buy anything.
  24. billhooks!
  25. Versatility and taking away a hassle for others to learn the software - always a good thng
  26. Not sure of the legalities, but if you had to split the remaining costs 2 ways and not 3 how would that fit in the grand scheme of things? OK not perfectly fair but if you all get a reasonable outcome and still talk to each other a few hundred ££ each to cover that other 1/6 might not be the end of the world. If you look through the posts here the common consensus is conifers reduced in height look a bit pants - take them out which should be the cheaper option, over time householders can trim the laurels back themselves. Number 4 is making a reasonable start - could go with "you want them reduced, you pay" - and if you can all agree which trees to keep so much the better.
