  1. Ahhhhhh, sweet, well I can't say, they certainly didn't look like they wanted to be licked.
  2. The nest was open to the elements. It's a branch wound that's rotted in and on the other side of the tree there is a large ripped out branch with some twigs stuffed in it. The defects are joined and I suspect any water that runs into the nest must drain through the bottom to the other side. I am back there tomorrow so I can get some more shots from the ground if you like
  3. IPhone mate
  4. Ummm I was only there a moment but the one that's eyeballing the camera was making clicking and hissing noises, the others seemed to be asleep. I am going to the pet shop for a couple of mice to make up for waking them:laugh1:
  5. So there I am about to give the knackered tree the big saw treatment and who should turn out to be in residence Guess I will have to come back in a few weeks. The nest site is staying but it has to have the top off for safety
  6. With type 2 you should be OK. A major part of managing type 2 is diet and sensible eating. Type 1 is a different story, if you are dependant on self administered insulin you don't want to be in a situation where you might not have immediate access to it. If you are self employed then that's your choice but given the proliferation of ambulance chasers an employer would need to look carefully at how they managed the situation.
  7. You don't mean that, trust me, you really don't mean that
  8. Never had a problem with Saturn blades but I did once have a set from a main dealer fail at first contact with a bit of wood.
  9. Increase the angle on the drawbar to stop it nipping at your heels
  10. I gave this problem some thought a while back and the only way to make it work was to make the axles moveable so that when you were empty you could move the axles forward, and back when loaded. Its going to cost you some payload but it will make towing it legal and far more comfortable.
  11. Well I am not so sure about that. I will defend the developers rights to do as he wishes with his land but the developer will maximise the return on the land by packing as many units on there as planning will allow. The gardens probably wont be anything like big enough to compensate the environment for the loss of mature trees. Its a sad fact that the environment has to take second place to houses but there it is.
  12. It does. It comes under actions likely to destroy
  13. Firewood Fell it before that nasty fungus wrecks more of the nice firewood:laugh1:
  14. If they say 50m, charge like 50m
  15. That is a poor design
  16. Couldn't agree more, allow the client to make an informed choice. Most of them do listen, then do what they thought was right in the first place:001_rolleyes:
  17. Trolling?
  18. You might not think that but putting a picture on the net and saying hey up lads what do you think of this, is ripping into someone elses work. Do you know first hand what was said, what the spec was? If you don't its all just hear say, gossip and rumour. You could have asked the question without the picture
  19. It is that easy, they will look at the request and decide what to do, if the new weight is acceptable (within the design weight) you should get the amended document back in short order. If the changes are of a more radical nature they might want you to bring it to VOSA for an inspection. A lot of this is to be sure you aren't up to no good. Serious changes may require a single vehicle approval (SVA)
  20. Fill in the appropriate part of the V5 and post it
  21. Clients for the most part don't give a monkeys about 3998, the tree is a possession like any other, that's why for the greater part we don't work to B.S. As far as discussion goes, its what you discuss. Ripping into someone else's work and second guessing them and T.O's based on some here say is pointless That tree looks bad but that's how it looks, no end of chat is going to change that or prevent it happening again.
  22. My view is that its between the TO and the contractor, its someone else's work and nowt to do with me you or this forum.
  23. When you get out of the cab its like you have been on a boat for a day or so.
  24. I like your wife and her opinions are great:laugh1:
  25. That would have been all wrong particularly yesterday, my flag is the cross of St George.
