    Killing trees! Bastard!

    No harm in talking to both.

    A 16m3 conny hedge measured in daylight occupies 16m3 of lay-by or farm track at night.

    Thanks Steve. Who would have known that Poundland would have my exact prescription?

    I was ranting at my kids for constantly misplacing shoes, school bags, water bottles etc. ’WHY CAN’T YOU LOOK AFTER YOUR STUFF? IT’S NOT DIFFICULT. I ALWAYS KNOW WHERE MY STUFF IS!’ The little twin gave me an evil glare then started walking about with her arms in front of her like a blind man and squinting, saying in a speech-impaired kind of voice - ‘HAS ANYONE SEEN MY GLASSES?’ Bang to rights. @doobin, do tiles work on glasses? Asking for a hypocrite friend.

    @Island Lescure here’s a really shit video I made in the workshop. The banner would go where the bog roll is. The tail is way too long here, but I didn’t want to cut the rope. You would need to set the orange with a second throwline. IMG_7255.MOV

    Simple for me, I’d be doing something else.

    It’s a piece of piss. You tie the banner near the knot end of a running bowline with a short tail. The tail has a loop in it. A chunky loop. A second rope passes through the loop. You use this (doubled) to haul up the banner. When it’s in place, pull out the second rope. If the banner says ‘IT’S COMING HOME’, I will find you. And I will kill you.

    I lost my virginity recently.

    Unlike your failure to read the original post?

    I’ve got that harness Mick, and have got on fine with it. Let us know what you think. There’s plenty of adjustability.

    I really like the look of that. The quality wouldn’t bother me, I wouldn’t be killing any Northumbrian monks with it.

    Just get a CE version for your second rope. At least then you will be half legal.

    It’s comforting to know that at least our part of the planet won’t warm up then.

    You would be better off sticking this in the Employment thread mate. @Steve Bullman

    @Kimosabi here you are mate, a positive from leaving the EU. We are cleaner and greener than them! Rule Britannia!
  24. Mark Bolam
    I think it does. They just made an arse of it in my case. It was over 15 years ago though.

    The thing is Jules, removal was clearly absolutely necessary, otherwise the trees would have been in the middle of the tarmac on a 3m wide drive! I couldn’t believe in this case the TPO’s still stood.
