You can't even spell the word correctly. I've only ever seen justified criticism of Fundamentalist Islam and Islamist terrorism on this forum (lounge) as well as free and robust discussion on all kinds of contentious issues of the day. Stop being so childish.

Never let your daughters hang out with scum like this piece of human filth

Re food shortages..if you think the French producers will stand idly by whilst they are made bankrupt as their produce rots on the quayside..you don't know French farmers.

Form looks like typical hybrid black poplar but couldn't be 100% sure. Prone to splitting yes. Is there an ongoing HSE investigation? Who was the company?

Never become complacent when your site involves removing multiple trees that involve both felling from the ground and climbing dismantles. This guy's thought process seemed to be trapped somewhere in between these two mindsets which means he never fully committed himself to climbing that tree properly ie anchoring his lifeline high up in the taller, more upright left hand stem to carry out the breakdown of the whole tree as you would usually expect when seeing a climber approach a tree like that. PS if you're going to be felling out huge stems or branches from a climbing position within the tree you seriously need years of prior experience working up to the big stuff and a sharp 60cc+ saw. Tragic video, hope the guy makes a full recovery.

NOT a real Parliament

unbelievable looking heights there Reg, topping out cuts at 180ft +? Some place. Long day on the spikes right enough Well done.

Bill, the gaffs on the geckos sit considerably higher on the shank than the kleins. That's bound to make a difference to your spiking as you're 10 years+ on the kleins, could be worth considering buying replacement pole gaffs for the kleins then adding on the Klein hydra cool pads to improve comfort. Get another 10 years on them.... https://www.kleintools.com/catalog/pole-tree-climbers/hydra-cool-climber-pads

Bill, post a pic of the Kleins, the whole spike/spur set up including shin pads not just a close up of the gaffs.

Used slight variations on this many a time over the years. The fundamentals here are the best way to do it. I wouldn't be dropping timber onto a pre-tensioned speed/zip line.

Most decent tree surgeons want to give their clients a Rolls Royce standard of job, but most clients will only pay for a Ford Focus job. You need to remember not to give them a Rolls Royce when they are paying for a Focus.

Not bad for YTS boys

Nice one, good luck with the chipbox/tipper

Nice duallys what's happened to your old tree truck?

Islay is God's country Mick, plus eight of the finest whiskey distilleries in the world. So even better for the sheep.

ok, never saw the blackface ram pic, thought it was just the wild goats and the deer. Cant think of any landowner/farmer allowing that to happen unless they were paid a lot of money as they must've known she'd post it on twitter and they'd receive bad PR from the Islay locals and wider public.

cant see what the problem is here? more fake outrage. https://www.heraldscotland.com/news/17005176.anger-after-tv-huntress-larysa-switlyk-poses-with-dead-goats-and-stags-in-scotland/ https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-scotland-politics-45967845

Worked so well in the case of Hitler didn't it.
-
Without the British Empire, Churchill's strategy of defying Hitler and his allies would have stood a much smaller chance of success.

Would the world now be better off if the British had lacked an Empire in 1940?

Vesp, I know it's counter-intuitive to your habitual trolling but try concentrating your intellectually retarded mind for a moment. Post traumatic stress disorder in soldiers returning from combat is a very identifiable and verifiable form of psychosis. These men are changed individuals and their identities are altered from the time they were subject to the psychological rigors of warfare to returning back to a normalised life. Some have the resilience to adjust their personalities back to a somewhat normalised state, others sadly do not.
