dangerous yet? Question from the Czech Republic
Mark J replied to Dances With Snails's question in Homeowners Tree Advice Forum
I've found that Czeck people are generally trustworthy. If they've made a promise then they stick to it. -
Lantra PTI Course Re-take Availability
Mark J replied to Treespasser's topic in Training & education
Brushing up on VTA terminology is a good idea eg compression forks, axioms, t/r ratios etc. As for the legal based side of things then all I can suggest is you just keep re-reading it and maybe make notes. You've already sat the exam once so you know what you're in for. Don't worry too much mate. If it goes tits up then you can always do it again. -
Lantra PTI Course Re-take Availability

The syllabus hasn't changed much. Just brush up on what you missed last time. I failed the first time in 2017 as I got some fungi ID wrong. I recently resat it and had no problems. -
That sounds a little bit anal on their behalf. Did you draw a plan of sorts too and submit photos?

Ha ha ha. He wants to become a refugee and claim political asylum. Haha what a melt:
-
Goosed tree, No dropzone to speak of. It was my mate's job, I ran the ropes.

10 years. Northern Inuits. Fit as fiddles. They'd had a few pints.

That first shot was from the other night.

Back on track. A good climber with the right kit can speed things up massively. But you do need to be prepared to deal with what comes down, as it may come down faster than you're used to. Ideally you need a crew who know what they're doing on jobs like that. Thanks to @MattyF for that one.

These are my occasional groundie's dogs. Met up for a pint today.

When I come across trees like this, I get try to get the best climber for the job. That's usually not me, I could do it but it would take too long. Get a speedy climber in and and a competent groundie on the ropes. The rest is dealt with by either manpower or a misrerable (because he no longer smokes 60 a day) Northumbrian in a JCB. I'd be inclined to add a fair bit of 'just in case money onto the job', ontop of top of your usual calculated fees. If you don't need it then it's a bonus.

Why did he latch onto it?
-
Aye, it's good rock armour. Freedom of speech is fine, just don't jeaopardise prosecutions in the process.
-
I have a working Cambois Ferry if that fits the bill. He's a media whore, he doesn't give a fuck about the victims of these cases or he wouldn't have went off jeopardising the potential conviction of the scum responsible.. Newbiggin here so we're practically neighbours.
-
He didn't flag it up. See above. It has been flagged up for some time. Aye, we do need to shine a spotlight on the people in every communty who allow shit like that to go on. He's a coke fiend who can't even throw a proper punch. If you believe in Lennon's sincerity, I have a bridge to sell you if you're ever in the north-east.

Reet. My mates work in the social care sector. They'd flagged up grooming gangs over fifteen years ago and it wasn't followed up because the coppers essentially didn't believe that kids in homes etc were capable of telling the truth. This is Newcastle UK. Yaxley Lennon is a shit stirring fuckwit, he's purely there to get people worked up. Seems to have a worked a treat on yourself. He hasn't drawn attention to the white nonces. And aye, it is apparent that there is a problem in the Asian community, in that their peadophiles are also racists.
-
In a funny turn of events, there's a very real chance that he'll be on the 43's with all the nonces he 'exposed'.

That looks more like Chondrostereum purpureum from here.

They're probably too interested in Liz Hurley's fat thighs this week.
-
Perhaps it will. Balanced, honest journalism would go a long way towards giving people the facts for themselves. Then they could form their own opinions. I realise that we passed that fork in the road some time ago. I'm completely against racism in all its guises. I'm proud to be anti-fascist. The media distorts things to our detriment. Shalom mate.

It appears to be absolute shite to me. They're after Corbyn and clutching at straws. https://blogs.spectator.co.uk/2019/05/is-jeremy-corbyn-really-anti-semitic/ You have De peffel or whatever he calls himself calling people in Burkhas Letterboxes, and the media, which is owned by a fewpeople that stand to lose the most when their tory mates eventually get turfed out, raise no fuss.. Plain to see what's going on. I lived in Bensham in Gateshead for a few years. Bensham has a massive Jewish community.They all voted for Labour. Work that out...

Absolute shite. There may be some anti-semites at the fringes of the major parties. Corbyn, and Labour don't represent antisemeticsm. This is the only source I could find without searching far:

A fleet of staffies.
