Ensuring I don't damage tree extending a path (and tree identification)
sime42 replied to BobUK's question in Homeowners Tree Advice Forum
Good to know I wasn't the only one to enjoy that series of understated comedy gold. Unless I've gone a bit American and missed some sarcasm here. -
Go on then, let's see your best fishy anagram.

It makes you wonder why they all even bother with the pretense at all. Surely no one actually falls for it. Here's an idea. How about a wealth/income eligibility bar on all prospective Prime Ministers? Say £10 grand above the national average, or maybe £50k if we're feeling really generous. In conjunction with a CV that includes some real jobs that require actual real work. That ought to clear out all the rich Oxbridge PPE degree weilding parasites. Just a thought.

Nah, you missed the point again Bud. I'm just amused that he also claims to be a "man of the people", but clearly has no empathy for normal hard working people either. Deja Vu. I'm not at all jealous of anyone who earns a few quid ND. I value free time over money, it's all about quality of life for me. As long as I've got enough quids for everything I need and most stuff I want that'll do me. (Wrt Employment StatusGate - My main motivation for being self-employed was more free time. I miss that now that I'm employed, I'd happily take a paycut to do a 4 day week if it was permitted)

So, they're worth £651m to be precise. He had a tough childhood though, he even had to go without SkyTV! (Hell, I had to go without TV altogether, not sure how I survived such hardship). Rishi Sunak: I went without Sky TV as a child WWW.BBC.CO.UK The PM says he sacrificed "lots of things" as a child as his parents prioritised their education.

We could/should have lit the fire last night. Ridiculous for June.

Yeah, that's the general idea of "Adult Toys" - to fill a niche, or two.

Thanks, I think that's the first time you've ever answered questions. 🤷♂️ Can we all move to your area please? It sounds like you've won the Jackpot on the old Postcode Lottery! Either that or the rest of the country have got it wrong; there are no problems with catastrophic biodiversity collapse local services or sewage pollution. 🤷♂️🤷♂️

I know, I know, it's a wooden Rampant Rabbit! It was pointed out to me once I'd finished it. I really didn't see it at the time. Not exactly hygienic anyway. Though actually, it is Beech so maybe it would be

I whittled these, and a few more years ago. Lots of wood turning too. Not done any for a long time now, it's just finding the time .........

Ah I did wonder. Angela Rayner without a shadow of doubt. She's got some principles and a good deal of fire about her, (redhead?), unlike insipid Starmer.

I'd say I'm pretty low on the deluded scale. I don't go in for Conspiracy Theories and suchlike. Who is the Fishwife?

Sweepstake on how much old Nige, man of the people, paid this guy to throw stuff at him? Nigel Farage: Objects thrown at Reform leader while campaigning WWW.BBC.CO.UK The Reform UK leader says he will not be cowed by the incident, which was caught on film.

It's all very well bragging about the amount you earn and the crazy hours you work, but what's your point? Are you trying to identify as ordinary hard working folk? No way. The average UK earning is rather a lot less than 20k a month I think. Most people are struggling at the moment, in one way or another. Have you recently;- Noticed much biodiversity in the UK? Tried to catch a bus or a train anywhere? Tried to get a GP, Hospital or Dentist appointment? Tried to swim on a beach or in a river? Tried to find a local library? Tried to get a mortgage? Etc etc etc Nothing works properly anymore. Coming back to this country after a couple of weeks abroad brings it all into stark perspective. In a lot of ways China for instance seems like a much nicer, easier place to live at this point in time. (I'm not suggesting in any way that that's a good way to govern a country btw, to prevent any misunderstanding again.)

Dr Michael Mosley Long before his time. Sad news. A nice guy, always positive and a great advocate for ideas on how to achieve and maintain good health.

I'm just wondering why someone's employment status matters so much. It seems to have become this months burning question. Employee, self employed or business owner - what's the relevance? Apologies for the lack of marine life. Maybe I'm not fully a-hake yet.

Worth a try at this point. Except that they're dropping like flies at the moment.

Thinking on from the last two posts;- we really need to rethink our voting system, the current first past the post thing isn't working for us. Suggestions?

It's like Jousting, you do it on horseback.

Jolly good, lucky you. You seem to be oblivious to what's going on in the lives of ordinary, hardworking folk. The UK used to be a civilised country to live in, that's rapidly becoming not the case. Which bits of the word salad do you want me to cook and then puree, for easier digestion?

I thought it was his wife with all the moneys? Maybe both. Yeah, it's odd that he took the job. He's definitely not from the same mould as his two predecessors. I predict that he'll very rapidly fade into obscurity in a few weeks, and not hang around for years afterwards trying to worm his way back into power.

Andy's Man Club | #ITSOKAYTOTALK ANDYSMANCLUB.CO.UK ANDYSMANCLUB are a men’s suicide prevention charity, offering free-to-attend peer-to-peer support groups across the... We had a guy from this group come into work to give us a talk recently. They sound like the business; free, down-to-earth, no pressure, no money, no pretense, just talking about any shit, if you want to. Just a load of blokes meeting up once a week I think, to chew the fat. Not sure where you are but they have various groups all over the country, more in the north and Midlands. Other than that; pills initially to get it in check, and then hard exercise, good diet, social contact, green spaces, blah blah blah. Good luck.
