  1. Go private mate and send the bill to your employer.
  2. Local opposition is to be expected given the limited amount of information they have probably received from the local authority. ‘Councillors received advice from a tree surgeon who said the roots had become infected with a fungal disease’. That in it self sets alarm bells ringing! The key to cases like this is information. If the public are given the correct info in a format that they understand then I’m sure any reasonably educated native would understand and respect the councils decision. As said previously, imaging the headlines ‘Tree Kills Family Picnicking Under Oak Tree’. Imagine the uproar – If I was the local authority T/O I know which headline I’d rather read. I just wish people would accept the fact that trees don’t last forever. The urban landscape is ever-changing and evolving. If the tree is unstable, fell it and plant three replacements for future generations to enjoy.
  3. Haha, I've just booked in for Friday night - The Hancock is having a night away -How exciting!
  4. Whats the plan then..? A good p*ss-up Friday night?
  5. Its £55 per night at the lodge - I thinking of maybe buying a tent - I've got one for future get-to-gethers then. Can we camp on site?
  6. You could do with fitting a slick rear tyre on the bike David, a couple of large industrial fans would be useful too! You'll know what I mean when you start using it.
  7. Mate, its simple- you cancel the golf comp (silly game anyway)
  8. What’s the secret to a successful marriage…?!
  9. Fair play to you David for giving it a go! Did you compare the costings of a fell and re-plant compared with the fence re-erection? Are you planting a replacement anyway?
  10. I like it how you put the felling cut in, then stop and take a pic – What’s known as the ‘Arbtalk Effect’, know it well..lol
  11. Why is it when you look into the light, it can make you sneeze?
  12. They do have a 'short list', give them a call and ask to be put on it if I were you.
  13. I might join you in a pair - How much were they??
  14. As said previously – I’m there on Saturday. What does every one think of the idea of a group photo of all Arbtalk members on Saturday. I was thinking along the lines of all of us meeting at a given location (perhaps Jonesie’s stall) at say 12pm. It’ll be nice to get us all immortalised!
  15. I think people like that are what makes our country and culture so diverse. I wouldn’t knock anyone for being themselves – long live individuality!
  16. Cheers David, looking forward to Wednesday – I’ll bring the camera, maybe we can have a group mug-shot of all the Arbtalk members. I’m sure the Wednesday lads (and ladies) will be a lot more photogenic that that Tuesday rabble.
  17. Looks like you’ve got the ‘kissing disease’ mate, hope your behaving yourself at that private school.
