Maybe he had a Booty Call from Chiswick. Can't really blame him if he'd just come out of prison.

Where are those centre points taken as? Is/was there some kind of standard, like the post office, or church or something?

Hang on, hang on. Is this some kind of trans-universe version of Arbtalk; where Men are Trolls, and Trolls are Men? Confusing. It's time for The Great Reset.

Must have been some serious beta-blockers.

I'd like to think I'd do it. With gritted teeth and arms wrapped completely around the ladder. Until I got to the sting in the tail at the top that is.........

I know. Some kind of new fangled coconut husk concoction I think they were, last minute purchase. They did the job though to be fair.. Response #2

In fact, who needs ropes at all?! Another very old school clip for you. Frightening!!

INDIAN BEAN TREE (Catalpa Bignonioides Nana)
sime42 replied to Porscheman's topic in Tree health care
Catalpa grafted on to a cherry root stock? Sounds an odd combination. -
Making the most of this fine weather. Only slightly marred by a couple of annoying, persistent little wasps.

Got a big black permanent marker in the van?

I don't think you need to give it any winter protection, they're hardy enough for our winters I'm sure. There's plenty growing outside all over the country. Re. pruning. They are big trees naturally so if you want to keep it small and well shaped then yes, you'll need to prune it regularly. Annually, if not more frequently I'd guess. Just bear in mind that once you start you'll be into a never ending cycle as they, and most other trees, over-compensate with regrowth once cut. Also, you'll probably find that the leaves are bigger when it grows back after pruning. Some people like that as it makes the tree look more spectacular. I wouldn't worry about the leaf damage. It's only slightly in those photos. More likely caused by weather than pests I reckon, maybe wind damage, or short-term drought or heat stress. I'm sure it's only a transitory thing. -
Mornings all.

Thats a Friday on steroids!

Nice. I was doing the same last night for a load of plums that we picked at the weekend. When did you stone them, out of interest? Stoning damsons is a right ball ache. I gave up trying to do it pre-cooking and just picked out as many as I could until bored once they were stewed down.

I think he's been watching too many of those Andrew Tate videos, and other nonsense from similar influencers. I mean, who uses a word like "Cuck" in seriousness?

Yes, I've seen those circular type wedges as well, normally on tools in continental Europe. I'd be interested to try one, as they look like they may be better, but I've never seen them for sale here in the UK.

This is an understated aspect of the immigration debate I believe. Just look at how many top class athletes are mixed race. The same happens in the plant kingdom, Hybrid Vigour.

🤷♂️🤷♂️ Well, there are a lot of Multiculturalists living in Brum, probably lots of those Illegal's as well. 🤷♂️ It was bound to end in tears wasn't it? The range of foods available is amazing though, cuisines from all over the world. You get almost anything you fancy.

Set fair and warm, hot, again here. Bit of mist earlier on but it's burning off fast.
-
I thought the idea was to use one big wooden wedge and then 1 or 2 small metal ones across it at right angles. That's how I've always done all wooden handles anyway, and they've never come loose.

No mate, you've completely missed the point again. It was nothing to do with your rainbow nation of work buddies. It just seemed like a glaring irony for you to use the words tolerant and open! Made me chuckle. Did anyone else get that, or was it just me? No biggie anyway.
