  1. The tree predates the conservatory. I'd be cautious about recommending removal without site investigations.
  2. Yup. Those surveys would cost more than the 1K excess you're likely to have. It may be worth involving insurance.
  3. If there's no birds then crack on.
  4. It's probably tricky to quantify. I've only used a resistograph on 'suspect' trees which were compromised to such an extent that a wee hole or two wouldn't really make a difference.
  5. Job and knock. Get the job done in a timely manner and go home.
  6. The A406 is indeed a bastard.
  7. The devious Scottish ploy to give nurses a four per cent pay rise: how it works WWW.THEDAILYMASH.CO.UK GIVING NHS nurses a decent pay rise is the latest in Scotland’s long line of nefarious plans. Here’s how the diabolical...

  9. He was quoting from records. I'd even go as far as to say he was highlighting the word as something we shouldn't be proud of. How can it be unacceptable to say things in historical context? You can't just pretend that words don't exist. I'm 43 and casual racism was the norm when growing up, thankfully we've mostly moved on from there as a society. It's usually clear when someone has an agenda and I don't think our American friend has one.

    The tastiest one I've had was barracuda. I've only had it once, barbecued in leaves on an island near Thailand. It was lush. In terms of visual appeal it has to be the cuttlefish, which isn't really a fish, despite its fishy name. I've heard that time slows down with age. Can you confirm or deny this?

  12. Or, the police escalated the situation knowing full well that it would agitate the populace.
  13. There's two sides to every coin.
  14. Everyone's got a website it seems.
  15. If the account is true, then yes, they are lucky it didn't go further.
  16. Kev, I'm not sure that Antifa have a website, given that they're not a real organisation
  17. I haven't been watching the news and wasn't aware of riots in places. I was commenting on the general state of us-vs-them. Civil unrest is inevitable if things keep going the way they are. Perhaps that's why they're trying to legislate their way out of it. Tin foil hat here, but if I wanted to put a controversial piece of legislation through and I had the resources to do so, I'd like to think that 'rent a mob' could be hired to enhance my position. It's already legal for a copper to lie to you and form a relationship with you in order to gain intelligence. It's not beyond the realms of possibility that the powers that be have stoked just the right amount of discord to get what they want. The Cambridge Analytica project shows just how easily demographics are manipulated. .
  18. Aye, the change to trespass is a big concern. It's a tricky situation. Magistrates are generally wankers.
  19. Therein lies the rub. If protesting against silly things like HS2 prevents the contactors going about their lawful business, then the fuzz are free to go in mob-handed, whether they want to or not. Which is worrying.

  21. Thanks for clearing that up honey, It's good that people from across the political spectrum agree that the new 'Police' bill is a cause for alarm.
  22. Ah, so it's alright to be a cohort so long as the 'cause' is a racist one? EDL/ National Action/BNP/Combat 18/Britain First etc.... It'll all be a thing of the past if Patel and her lot get their way: What is the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill and how will it change protests? WWW.BBC.CO.UK Public protests have pushed the government's controversial new police bill into the spotlight.

  24. I used to get the pfanners with the extra 7cm leg. I'm 6'2" and they were easily long enough.
