  1. Past hour

  3. Serious question 🤷‍♂️try answering for a change. I know you tend to be very sensitive about how you make a living but having spent my entire life post armed forces being self employed I stand by my comment.
  4. If you compare to say construction or farming, not so bad, but if you were to compare to the population as a whole it is on the worse side. However in all men tend to try to continue on regardless, until they snap, again going back to the OPs point, never let yourself get to that point, physically or mentally. One thing on the mental health side, it is OK to ask for help.
  5. Thats an interesting one!
  6. depends which parts of the forum you read
  7. Is mental health that bad in our industry?I know construction sites are bad but I didnt think arboricuture was worse !

  10. Today
  11. ah yeah, but without money you can't buy health - health needs paying for with hard currency. Good food and good medical care all cost money. Money is the most important thing. The Beatles sang 'money can't buy me love', but love can't exist inside a dead body and it's money that keeps the body alive
  12. This 40 year old cedar was planted by the current resident. I have never seen anything like this before. On the left side of the photos the root buttress sounds a bit soft/hollow but otherwise the trunk base sounds pretty solid when knocked with nylon head hammer. The fact the tree has a fair lean towards a neighbouring house, and the dubious buttress is the most critical to counter the lean, the owner want the tree down. I think this is the right decision. The crown is not showing any obvious signs of distress/needle loss. Anyone any thoughts on the diagnosis?
  13. I want to get out to German/Austria to find climbing work before cutting season ends. I have all kit an necessary tickets plus 10 years experience.. any suggestions or contacts for companies to approach would be much appreciated.. TIA

  15. Feckwhit, a serious topic and you are lowering it all to have a personal dig. Mens health is important, it is often ignored "will just carry on, nothing wrong" attitude until you end up in a hospital bed... which is the point the OP was making. If you are unable to 'read the room' and understand then do not comment.
  16. Which is my point, apart from having an accident, your health should never get to a point where you need to go to A&E, should be getting things checked out well before then. Got to look after your health.
  17. They're pretty simple machines. Mine jammed up the other day when a fork went through it but the overrun clutch on the PTO shaft saved the day. The product is fiddly to burn but you can really fill a stove up and it goes for a long time. It gets choked up on brash but it's a decent way of reducing bulk if you don't have a chipper
  18. Had a great vat of curry for old folk and sister last night, good catch up and question old folk on things of the past but Mum's dementia mean she can be pretty rude about stuff from the past - "his father was a dirty old groper, always grabbing girls arses and he was a noise in the Weslean Chapel too!"....... Going to aTaunton for something to do and possibly another walk along Charmouth later. Found a huge seam of Copralites along the beach - 95 million year old Dino pooh! Be good at work and get ready for the storm! Art, Hitch, Oak.

  20. Happy bin day to us Wordle 1,566 3/6* ⬜🟨🟨⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟨🟨⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
  21. Morning all, Domestic chores today, and getting ready to head north. Going to daughter in Glasgow for the weekend, she and my wife will run the 10k. Then further north to stay with daughter’s in laws, doing some pruning for them.
  22. ? Public sector office workers or self employed 🤷‍♂️my money is very much on the latter
  23. Morning, dry here. Heading to physio for the first time in about 3 months, I’m proper seized up and then going to try take it easy till Monday, walking is the best medicine for me and the dog has been feeling neglected. Unless storm Amy brings in work.😂
  24. Took the words right from my keyboard. Kram, on a serious note. The course will teach you something but it is of course a paper exercise for the employers etc. You will get as much out of it as you can if you go in there open minded and don’t try and tell the instructor he is doing it wrong or you know a better way to do it. There are many ways to skin a cat as the saying goes. But if your on a cat skinning course then listen to what the instructor is trying to tell you.
