  1. Would the same thing would happen if a pack of dogs killed the big dog fox?
  2. New powers to stop and search protesters added to ‘draconian’ bill WWW.INDEPENDENT.CO.UK Peers accuse government of adding ‘draconian’ amendments to bill at late stage of parliamentary scrutiny
  3. Do you reckon it'll go that far? I've no problem with pest control, or shooting or fishing, it seems like a bit of a pussy/pointless/inhumane way to kill something by setting a pack of dogs on it.
  4. Good news: National Trust votes to ban ‘trail’ hunting on its land WWW.INDEPENDENT.CO.UK Hunts will collapse or struggle to keep going, saboteurs predict
  5. Taxman to work from tax-dodgers property: HMRC to relocate to Newcastle office owned by Tory donors via tax haven | HMRC | The Guardian WWW.THEGUARDIAN.COM Deal is part of north-east regeneration scheme developed by property tycoons David and Simon Reuben

  8. Two hours travel each way to site (due to location) - 4 @ £25/hr = £100. Climb tree(s) and do the work = £250. Seems fair to me to venture into London, on a one-off job.
  9. It was the most astonishing sky I've seen.
  10. Last night in sunny Wallsend:
  11. Have you informed your house insurers of your concerns? It is unlikely that you will get consent to remove an apparently healthy TPO'd oak(s) without proof that they are the cause of suspected subsidence. The investigations needed to determine subsidence and any tree/building/drainage works which might arise from them will cost far more than paying the excess on your insurance (usually about 1K). Heave is only a consideration when trees predate the house and/or parts of the house. Phased reductions will do nothing to mitigate the risk of heave.
  12. It must crap to completely change your business model just to find out that they're dragging their feet.
  13. Howick has some really nice trees in it. Howick Hove is just on the seafront down from there, it's a really nice little bay. I worked with an ecologist who found a long eared bat that lived directly above the bell in a church, it must have been a heavy sleeper. The churches love swastikas.
  14. No, perhaps something has disturbed their roost.
  15. 30 MPs who could be affected by proposed consultancy ban | House of Commons | The Guardian WWW.THEGUARDIAN.COM As the Commons standards committee plans to review regulations here are the MPs earning money for advisory work
  16. I think it was 'Matelot' who last promoted eugenics on this site. I reckon that there is capacity to irrigate the world and feed everyone, unfortunately we're still in feudal times.

    I dunno, There's never really been a shortage up here in Northumberlandashire, it is now close to £1.50/l now, which is costly
