I try and sell a lift and thin with a few tips tickled rather than a reduction where possible.
-
I bloody hope so but I dare not post any reductions of my own on French pages and my French climber is reticent about doing them. I troll back by suggesting that French climbers are just unable to reach that high...
-
In France, there is a strong movement against 'reductions' Thinning, deadwood, branch removal and lightly reducing the sides. Reducing the height is considered bad practice. Starting to see alot of lolipoped trees... Stuart

Farmers and independent transporters mostly from the groundworks sector are blockading a refinery in Brest causing panic buying leading to shortages. Diesel has to dropped from €2.20 to €1.95 locally. That is all.

Where will Putin strike next?

Local authority work prepping for fibre optic cables. Siding whatever is marked pink for 'fck up' or orange for council workers firewood pool. Then later in the week repollarding 8 limes in Fougeres Nothing exciting but easy and profitable. Frankly, I'd rather a decent days take down than hours of bob bobbing for bamboo sized canes of lime, murder on the legs and shoulders picking all that McShit up.

There was a Brit arb here in Brittany and on this forum, who used to chat shit about his time with the special forces. He disappeared off the scene and retired from social media after getting outed as a complete Walt. Of course, he could simply have actually been telling the truth about his Bit Coins and moved to a sunnier climate. I did wonder about trying a cheeky email enquiring if he was signing up to fight for freedom...

They should use the Meerkat's to their advantage in making adverts denouncing the war, make one Ukrainian.
-
War crimes eh? Seemed a far away irrelevance when it was Syrian towns being bombed. Brings it home when a real war is only a couple of days drive from London...
-
If Brest receives a hit, I'll head for the channel islands. Assuming the authorities wave visa requirements of course. The UK government is being very slow to process my wifes visa. received_661457001571013.webp

BBC reports are Earl Grey tea to the French black coffee. French camera crews wiping dust of themselves as they film the immediate aftermath of an explosion. Anyway, nothing is quite like an Aljazeera report from Iraq showing giblets strung from a lamp post. Here is a FB page of interested: https://www.facebook.com/UkraineinCrisis/

The French journalists are very much closer to the action. The BBC reporters do so at a distance. I've French t.v and watch the BBC live reports via internet.

You're not fat Mike, muscle, keep yelling at the mirror, muscle!
-
Is this still a thread about Ukraine? If so, the French media coverage puts the BBC to shame. That is all.
-
Gingers do that...
-
And Algeria moving on the Western Sahara. It's been goading Morocco for some time. Russia might just trigger a host of other land grabs world wide.
-
You got me too on that count...

Double sciatica, hernia, thundering bad temper, massive urge to chip each client, debt, fear of a major tax investigation...

No-one is attacking you Eggs, you created a thought provoking thread.

Oh my, 106 stumps done in under 4 hours with a coffee break. As a comparison, it would have taken me 20 hours with the FSIB20 and I'd be +4 times more expensive. After lunch we did a couple of others which I filmed or timed for reference. Now I have a measure of just what it can do. I'm in awe of the machine and very happy to have found a motivated grinderman for my larger stumps.

Prepping my own future stock for 2024/25. I normally loan the splitter out to clients as a sweetener but this time it is I putting in the hours with this leylandii. The machine cost me around €1300 plus vat with a Briggs engine.
-
I started with a Kangoo, wee chippette and trailer. If he is hungry for work, he'll be moving his kit on before long and asking on here about tippers and road tows.

Gypsies of all creeds are themselves vile racists and carry more prejudices than a hardened Arbtalk member posting about a stolen Transit.

I find the blade life at around 15-30 hours for our Chinesium whilst the GM CS100 was up to 40. Blades though are less than half the price of GM's
