    I have tried a few times to move yew with no luck, even with as bigger root ball as we could handle. I reckon the key is to keep them well watered. The last one did about 3 or 4 months then went brown on the last dry spell, I reckon you'd have to setup a leaky hose irrigation system to do right

    After waiting about 9 week for the sign writer, I decided to do it myself. Just made a start, I need to put on about log sales and something about being an electric vehicle

    Predictive text .....Which is another reason half the nurses are illiterate, I kid you not, many are terrible at spelling, yet the entry requirements ( depending on the course ) were 5 gcse at grade c or above. How did they achieve this if they can't even write legibly

    It's not about that Dave, you only have to look within the NHS to see what is happening, the degree pass threshold is so low, many of the nurses getting through are thick as pig shite and shouldn't be in the job You,d be surprised how many can't do simple maths, quite an important attribute considering they are calculating how miles to inject into you. This is one of the reasons they have had to put in fail safe measures such as a second nurse checking and signing off the first nurse and then we may as well have a third nurse checking the second nurses decision. All this adds up to wasted time through measures to prevent thicko,s that should be in the job making mistakes, all the nurses running round checking and double checking each others work

    300,000 took A Levels 98.1% pass rate. We are either evolving into a super intelligent race or the pass threshold is far too low. I'm thinking unis need the turnover of students otherwise they'd go bust Somehow a "degree" doesn't have the same ring to it nowadays

    Didn't know what was in there and there's a fence going in where they have to dig down two foot, they wanted as much out as possible. Also the wall belonged to the neighbour and we weren't even allowed to put a foot on it

    Some of you have had your whittybix this morning I don't actually know the pulling power on it as its not marked up, but it's very handy albeit slow. It's good for getting some pressure on it while you dig round on the bigger stumps while smaller ones just pull out. I managed to bust the Jack on it today so I'm going to have to measure it up and buy a good quality equivalent

    Today, needed vertical pull because I didn't want to move next doors small retaining wall, plus not a foot to be put on next doors land. Does the job a treat although a little slow

    Once I have success with Yew, that was going to be one of my next questions

    I've binned the leds and replaced with t5's. I've also added a water heater to keep water at 24 degrees about a week ago. I'll start taking lid off too and keep fingers crossed

    Three weeks on and nothing showing root wise, to be honest I don't know whether there should be yet. Cutting are still looking ok but one or two are going a bit brown and droopy but that's because they are in a blind spot for the spray heads.

    Stick to your guns...I'd rather sit at home and earn nothing than do a day and a halls work and earn nothing

    It took me half a day to find 30 cows in a 50 acre Wood on a Honda 650 off road bike, once located it took me 20 minutes on my own with the bike to herd them a kilometer from one end of the wood to the other into the field Best days fun I've had for a long time

    I should have kept back and video'd it

    I once let a fully inflated quarry dumper truck tyre go from the top of a small mountain. There were a few of us watching it. It hit a flat area halfway down and bounce over an entire woodland landing on the other side of the valley bottom. Never seen anything like it in my life since. I would estimate the distance it bounced was near 400 metres, if it had hit a tree it would have wiped it out

    We have a council salt bin at the top and bottom of a steep incline on the road to my yard, people come from far and wide to help themselves then when we need it there's none left
