What the most unusual thing you have found in a tree
Mike Hill replied to Henry218's topic in Climbers talk
Thanks! -
Do you give a discount for taking away the wood and branches? I know how much you get selling them to B&Q
-
I don't understand? If you paid the money upfront,what was your guarantee that he would even show up,let alone inspect it?

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. -
Or He was afraid you were a rank amateur and you wouldn't pay if he refused to sign off substandard work? I have gotten this with tree reports. If what I recommend goes against the wishes of the client they kick up a fuss.

Oh ok So....who would make up the coalition and how would they get to Egypt? Do your coalition forces have a history of military co operation. Where would they land in Egypt? Fwiw Egypt dosnt give a flying toss about Palestine, so your coalition forces would have to conquer Egypt first. After somehow sailing up the Med or the Red sea,crossing Africa or Saudi.... Be quite an operation...possibly unprecedented,have you considered applying for Sandhurst?

Who...um...would make up this " coalition force" and how would they get to Palestine? Also China has historically the good sense to not meddle in the ME. So if it started now,what would be in it for the CCP? * adjusts mirrored ray-bans,re wraps my keffiyeh,lights a roll up while wistfully gazing at a Yassir Arifat picture*

Word. Power to the people comrade. Are you off down the student Union for half price pints on Friday, revolutionary themed poetry evening tonight? See you there like a Peppermint square!

@Mark J " The Fash" seriously mate! Sounds like you got a bit carried away singing " The Red banner" at last night's CND rally ,you " Hip Cat " you. Signed Mike "Peppermint Square" Hill * thrusts clenched fist skyward,adjusts beret*

Put 25% on top of what you can expect on your own jobs. Then if it becomes regular,start a crew that just does that contract.

Sure Just like,well....practically everywhere else on the planet. Sound system it is too,keeps the bludgers out. I have never had recourse to public funds in any of the four countries I needed a work visa for.

Working in Germany I found plenty of bullets. The Armour piercing ones,ruin your chain.Berlin there were roof tile chunks in most of the old trees. Once in Bergen by the Docks , I felled a tree full of shrapnel. When we were working on lowering the stump and cutting around the splinter a German guy asked what we were doing. As the chunk finally came out I gave it to him,he was over the moon. Considering the effort his fore fathers had gone to in order to get that bit of metal to Norway in the first place. -
Yes,yes you can. Norway you Brits can rock up,start working straight away and get permanent residence after two years. Sweden it's a bit of paperwork but not much.Probably a bonus to employers since the applicant will have to show a bit of drive on their behalf. Finland has a seasonal workers permit that would suit the op perfectly. So in short,if you want to stuff holes with tree's in Scandi-wegia then off you go.

I don't know why you two just didn't meet up for a oil soaked wrestle? Would have saved terabytes of total wankery over several years. I mean France isn't that far from Denmark. You could have held the joust in say,Sweden. Neutral at that point too.

Honesty I was hoping that Mick would stay out of Johnson's lane. Now we are risking a repeat of the endless circle-jerk that was the Mick/Stig Circus over at " The Treehouse".

Last sentence absolute gold. "With trouser creases so sharp,they slice the air with every stride"

Total bollocks Steven. Do you think the current mass ,unvetted immigration is a positive gain for GB or a negative? Here is another example. You and your mates are out for a winter ramble,a storm comes in and your soon soaked,bordering on hypothermic. You look on the map and make a B-line to the closest shelter that happens to be an Army base. Freezing, you plead your case at the gate. Do you A: Get given a grey blanket each and a cup of coffee while sitting in the back of a 4 tonner while the kindly Sergeant calls a cab Or B A pass to allow you to wander the base,use the ablution block,Naafi,Rec room,mess and Bar until you feel like leaving? Which of the above scenarios is more likely and why ?

So @Steven P If Caucasian Kiwi Shepherds were the most prolific sex offenders,would you recommend continuing to grant them residency in the UK? It wouldn't be fair to exclude all Caucasian kiwi shepherd's, so in which case would they have to be vetted in their country of origin ( New Zealand) Also if tens of thousands of Caucasian kiwi shepards began to arrive by boat,but said they were infact Aussie Horticulturalists should you just let them in,despite them having their undies stuffed with wool and sheep dung on their boots?
-
Imagine if most sex pests and rapists were,I don't know-New Zealand sheep farmer Caucasians. Then if you stopped letting New Zealanders into the UK,then deported all New Zealanders and their families. You would reduce the sexual offences hugely. It's not hard when you shift the decimal point.

How would you classify white Criminals as "Christians?" Your " whataboutary" is off the charts. I do earnestly believe liberalism ,when it reaches the fever pitch you ceaselessly display Steven is then a mental illness. Please talk to a professional.

Why do you need to dry it? If you get used to using wet kit,then dry gear is just a bonus.

I think that on the Britt side,it's " hip" to be decisive. However those who choose to be so,would be silenced if the minority they defend ruled. Cray - zay

Housing shortage, so what’s going on here then?
Mike Hill replied to Steve Bullman's topic in The Lounge
What would the average price be per house there Steve? -
I can't understand the apathy honestly. 200,000 people turned up to watch fatboy slim play on Brighton beach but 50,000 can't camp at Dover to arrse the immigrants back into their boats?

Re the "Migrant" scam. Imagine if a group of random people managed to climb into Starmers back garden,knock on his conservatory window and ask for a bed. DPS would crash tackle the lot of them,have them handcuffed and placed under arrest,every effort would be made to establish their identities,them being detained untill that was known, if not they would remain in custody under the PACE legislation . They would almost certainly be trespassed from his house and you know that process would be dragged out for as long as humanly possible Investigations would be made into how exactly those randoms made it into the garden and potentially disciplinary action taken. Yet tens of thousands of mysterious people are being accommodated and disappear but the UK public dosnt have the gumption to protest about it? Its all your own fault.
