Uh oh. It never ends well when "truth seekers" get brought into the rant as well, cited as some kind evidence or proof. I bet he also "does his own research".

Is a Lawson Cyprus with multiple trunks 1 tree?
sime42 replied to Cheryle79's question in Homeowners Tree Advice Forum
It looks like they're multiple trees to me. Unless the ground level has been raised a fair bit under that artificial grass. -

Rowan tree health after pruning

Like a Surf and Turf meal? -
Well, Scientists and Doctors would be a good start.

I completely agree that the young are now subjected to far too many adverse influences. Social Media, Ultra Processed Food and pollution being some of the worst. Also, that we're now sadly seeing plenty of consequences of those. I grew up in the 70/80s and life was a hell of a lot simpler then. I have grave concerns about all the shit that my son is going to have to navigate through as he grows up. Not to mention the fcked planet he's inheriting. However, I don't agree with lumping ADHD/Autism together with BS like kids identifying as cats. They don't all belong under the same umbrella. The former should not, except in extreme, cases be considered a problem IMO. The later definitely is, obviously. Unless you think vaccines like MMR and Covid are responsible for the Cat Children as well.

I think we've digressed somewhat, from ADHD and Autism, onto other agendas.

4 hours ago, Johnsond said: Yeah I said that didn’t I ?? Reality is there is no point, it’s always been like that. The prelude to me saying that including the pic is maybe if you are prepared to lift the barrier’s somewhat of an explanation of why it might be happening. On a slightly different note Mark, Quote what do you think is causing the huge increase in Autism and ADHD type issues with kids today ?? kids having kids bad parenting, bad diet, polluted planet, no diagnosis required to claim benefits for it, No known medical test, people love to "pigeonhole" stuff, any variance in behavior has to be categorized, often wrongly. none of which helps genuine cases. Micro-plastics? MMR vaccination? Petrochemical derived food colourings? COVID vaccination?

Afternoon all. Lovely and hot here, bordering on excessive now though. Got my son's birthday party this afternoon. Taking them all to Go Ape first and then all back to ours to eat, drink and be merry! This little lot plus a load of pizza should tide us over. Proper Desi Samosas and what have you. 30c+ heat is probably an improvement on the pissing rain we had for it last year.

No, I didn't know they were a thing. I hope you're allowed a few more than 6 attempts.

Good to have you back Will. That's a life affirming story. Glad it's all worked out for you.

The front passenger footwell is a useful space. I've been known to use it a few times when I've been concerned about overloading the rear springs on the car or van. Ideal for dense things like blocks or bags of sand/aggregate/hatdcore.

Meetings with remarkable trees, the Arbtalk version
sime42 replied to Steve Bullman's topic in Picture Forum
Brilliant. I think time spent on rope swings should be a compulsory part of every child's childhood. They impart all those essential life skills like:- tree climbing, knot work, physics, and tree/limb/rope safety assesment. Not to mention the benefits of being physically active outside in the natural environment. -

Agree with all of that. I was making a somewhat tongue in cheek suggestion; based on his values and character, rather than the practicalities of the idea. He seems to me to be someone motivated largely by altruism, unlike most politicians today. Just look at his work on environmentalism, visionary, decades ahead of most other institutions, or indeed people.

Aw shucks, not you again Blagger. Are you still smarting after getting called out for your BS again? Let it go. I was sharing my thoughts on the King, I didn't ask your view on Brexit or the EU. You could try and find some common ground, (surely a man like you is a big fan of the King), rather than trying to reopen a toxic, divisive debate. .........Oh, hang on ....

Fair dos dude. You didn't say where you live btw. The road WhatsApp group is about the extent of my community involvement. (And that's disappointingly mundane, compared to the saltiness of some I've heard of). Never even dreamed of being in a club or committee. Too tedious and too much commitment for me, and I'm not at all interested in any perceived sense of power to be derived from playing petty politics. That said though; I do think it's important to foster the sense of community in your local area. It's something that has been largely lost in recent decades. I'd always much prefer to use local independent shops or tradespeople, rather than the ubiquitous big national or multinational companies.

Definitely just a Guy with a Chainsaw. Lots of experience of Lopping and Topping no doubt! That looks like a class bit of topping work. It looks terrible but I also think the tree will be fine. In the short to mid term anyway. Those cuts might shorten it's overall lifespan, but it's much too early to tell yet. -
Are you married Gareth? You always strike me as someone who still lives with his parents. Just idle speculation like.
