  1. One day when the doo doo hits the fan, we'll be going back those old skills...
  2. Keep your tree stock nice an healthy, the less pruning the better, make sure the trees get good drainage and mulch wherever possible
  3. I heard on the radio , they are influenced by The Fall, I'd say by the B52's and Talking Heads as well... Another of my favs..... [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OMcLAsAzCmM&feature=related[/ame]
  4. I have had something in the pipeline for months, not a cure more a slowing of the canker, cure is a big word in my books. I'd be trialling now , if it wasn't for all the bureaucratic BS you have to go through, you just imagine, when dealing with chemicals!

  7. Decompact and mulch, remove dead wood as and when, reductions of any shape or form only add insult to injury imo..
  8. From what I gather mate they want to restrict our right to roam the coastline too, no catch and release either....

  13. Looks like we get Mr Gummy sharks cousin over here, Mr Smoothhound, they share the same latin name, they get to about the same size too, teeth like Les Dawson or lack of , and eat the same tucker.. I caught one last year on a boat the hottest day of the year, skipper didn't have any ice [what a plonker] i'll take my own ice next time and flake she shall have..
  14. I think we should have a cheese and wine evening, soon! P.S your cod are in the freezer, we had a couple last night grilled, very nice even if I say so myself...
  15. So lads and lass's, what cheese and wines are you into at the moment, me I'm into south African reds shiraz... My favorite red used to be an Italian wine called Montepulciano, a very robust red great with red meats and hearty stews, the last few years though it hasn't been that good, bad weather or something has affected the grape who knows And for cheese I can't get enough room temp ripe runny Camembert, I like this brand at the mo http://www.presidentcheese.com/ourcheeses/brie.html Anyone from up Hartington Derbyshire way? send us down a kilo of cheese lol, seriously wow what a nice little Stilton cheese shop, let me see if I can google it. Here it is what a gourmet delight, you haven't tasted stilton unless you've had some from this little shop, and I don't say that lightly, I love winkling out little local foods when working away lol, I'll work for free to get the chance to go to Arbroath and try one of those ''Arbroath smokies hot out the smoker''.... http://images.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=http://www.peakdistrictcottages.net/Images/Hartington/h000a003.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.peakdistrictcottages.net/h000a003.html&usg=___b-9fYjWDkgIoIhSB5PSD50WMxw=&h=384&w=512&sz=22&hl=en&start=2&um=1&tbnid=WFastgV2xPA0ZM:&tbnh=98&tbnw=131&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dhartington%2Bstilton%2Bcheese%2Bshop%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26lr%3D%26sa%3DN%26ie%3DUTF-8
  16. The voice of the industry [AA] speaks on our behalf thats why.....
  17. My wife loves flake ''rock eel'' as they call it over here, its not an eel at all, its a shark, spurdog, bull huss species.. Do those Gummys need bleeding?
  18. Do these gummy sharks taste nice? just did a google ''flake''
  19. No mate just don't want the fishing fraternity getting too familiar with my face, I'll only end up with hordes of wannabes asking for my autograpgh....
  20. I've got an Atco Royal 30'' cut excellent condition open to offers if anyones interested, they're about £2,300 new Just been serviced, new grass box, sharp blades http://www.mowers-online.co.uk/itm00436.htm
  21. I'll have a crack, I'm not exactly rushed off my feet..
  22. Thats if they can buy one first, my local saw supplier's , won't sell top handle saws to the general public, no ticket no saw around here!
  23. OK sorry I inappropriately used the word illegal, what I meant/should have said is, it's against HSE AFAG guidelines, the last time I bought a new top handle saw, I had to show proof of NPTC units,not so for this little saw? what happens to me if an employee injures, causes damage or whatever whilst using this saw on the deck? is it ok for landscapers to use a topper on the floor, will there insurance cover them? My point is this Hort week, shouldn't have published an article , suggesting a top handle saw is OK for use by a landscaper doing some decking or what have you, Stihl make it clear in there brochures top handle saws are only to be used by trained personnel, it seems to me Makita a marketing this saw to gardeners, landscapers and carpenters.. If you're and emplyer, will or do you allow your staff to use a top handle saw on the floor, lastly I seem to remember a few years ago an employer was fined 2k for letting a staff member use a topper on the ground, it's all very confusing if you ask me..
  24. welcome Jim
  25. Ahh, so yet again one of those grey areas...
