Its not the normal done thing in the building trade. Maybe because its work that the electrician has not completed himself he is being wary.

One of the few good things about coming home from holiday. Look at those figs. I don't know where they came from. I've never seen them as big as that even in the Med. Really sweet as well.

In Stoke on Dope?

Fergal is very good and absolutely spot on with his thoughts - hats off to him.

Cut off the ripped limb to minimise the bark peeling off, as that will only make it worse. Theres not much you can do for rot, perhaps get as much of the soil out as you can. Looks like a very substantial part of the tree ripped out. Do you have a photo of the rest? Apple trees are very commonly in bad shape, most I have seen are rotten.

I strongly suspect an element of tongue-in-cheek with that remark. As log burners become the must have fashion, the stuff folk were happy to dispose of for free has become a valuable commodity. Round here, ready to burn logs are £165 per cubic metre, so the DIY version must now have a value.

Not since my inherited graphite spray can lost its propellant. I also have a huge tub of Rocol Moly disulphide tho I wouldnt put that on or near climbing kit, just incase it reacts in some unexpected way.

Not having much luck at the moment Pete.

Seems VDL and the EU came running when he snapped his fingers.

It's the threads of mine which would potentially wear out first, being aluminium male and female. I have a mix of aluminium and fibre glass poles (for utility work) but nowadays as long as not working near electricity I would probably replace with carbon fibre tubes.

I do indeed 😄

Do you give a discount for taking away the wood and branches? I know how much you get selling them to B&Q

Well there's obviously some correlation between tree size and root spread, so in theory yes - but there'll still be roots in the lawn, unlikely to do anything structural though. People seem to worry about roots much more than the actual problems they cause.

Put a picture up please. Guns with a story are much more interesting. I have one that I bought years ago from the son of the first owner,who after surviving WW1 died a few weeks after coming home by falling off a horse.

A broader sweep of the trees (picture wise) might help.

Mark have you read some of the stuff that’s being posted in the Potus thread ffs radicalised, who me😂😂you kidding me. Now as for some others here they might very well find themselves on a secret service watch list the quantity and content of the posts they put up🤔. You got a daughter or kids mark ?? I’m not sure if you have or not, but put it to any of your friends who have a daughter in the same way and use the same language and insinuations that SP has done on more than one occasion and see how they react. Im no angel Mark, far from it, and will absolutely fight my corner but there is 100% a line I won’t cross. As another said, he should be ashamed. As I said thanks for your “concern” but the biggest run in I’ve had with the law since 1990 is 3 points for speeding ( in an HGV ) on the A1 at Berwick that year.

Good man, I respect him all the more for it. Wish him well from me.

I agree with that. You will probably struggle to get permission due to health and safety etc. No one is really going to grant permission to go and climb as they would get sued to death if something bad happened. I did a bit of rec climbing in the local woods while training in college, just make sure you have someone to spot you at the very least.

I was never into his music but he was a funny fcker and a right bit of a character. RIP

Did it earlier

dvla have always been problematic,you could phone on ten successive days, ask the exact same question and get a different answer each time. I recall one instance when you had to surrender the old tax disc to got a refund for the remaining duty, they asked for "recorded delivery" with a signature upon receipt, which I duly complied with,over a month passes and I have yet to receive my refund, so I phone them, 3,1/2 days later somebody actually answered the phone and informed it was lost? "But you signed for it, so it wasn't lost in post at all was it,?" a brief silence ensued,, she then said,, "no it was lost internally" "Ok, what happens now?" "no disc, no refund I'm afraid" wankers!! now they have a different scheme whereby the tax cannot be transferred with change of ownership of the vehicle. and the present owner gets back any full remaining months duty, and the new owner has to tax from the beginning of the month he wishes to use the vehicle from, the current month has been paid for already by the previous owner, but if new owner needs to use the vehicle immediately he has to backdate it to the beginning of the already paid for month. and your refund is calculated from the date they deal with it, so if they "lose it" that's never. I told dvla long ago ,I usually like being kissed when I'm getting fecked.
