I’m always amazed at the low value placed on planting. When you think about it, it’s the most important part of our lives, in many different ways.
-
It’s replacing the newly planted trees which have died mate.

Anyway, I’m off to the coast to stand near the edge of a pier to film some massive waves to put on my social media. Essential journey.

They seem to overegg it a bit since ‘87. I think folks would rather be told their roof will blow off and it not happen than the other way round. The fact that it might get a bit windy in London seems to be the thing that’s driving the media frenzy.

Where’s the fun in that Pete?!!!
-
Why’s that Matty? Battery drain?
-
Fit both Mick, you’re worth it. I suppose having a hydraulic winch to the hopper doesn’t float your boat as much because you’ve got that covered with the Avant?
-
Aye, the dids would love that.
-
Bloody right!
-
They bloody want to be for £70k!

They’re not all black! https://www.outdoorgb.com/p/Sealskinz_Waterproof_All_Weather_Ultra_Grip_Knitted_Gloves/?utm_source=froogle&utm_medium=directory&utm_content=GBR¤cy=GBP&country=GBR&SelectedBundle=192019&SelectedItem=776008&gclid=Cj0KCQiAu62QBhC7ARIsALXijXQMNMXVUPq90g4d5RpKQShRd0GA5rt7u9E7VWs7rNTazOzIqX7GHKMaAo1JEALw_wcB

Those sound pretty good, similar to the ‘Winter Touch’ I have used, and similar price for a single pair. Depends how much sensitivity you need for the controls I suppose Mike. I’ve found neoprene too cold on really brutal days, but I’ve got really poor circulation in my hands. I have Sealskinz as well, they’re great, but I keep them for best!

I try not to ‘work’ work on Sundays, but I kind of like a bit of yard work, servicing, log/chip deliveries or such like in the morning, stuff I can usually involve the kids with. Big dog walk with the family, then after a shower feel justified in having the boozy dream that Mick described. Some pretty good arguments either side, just do what’s best for you and try and be considerate of others.

1 day ROLO course then assessment monkey test, about £200. Why do the Jobcentre want him to do two weeks training with anyone, in any discipline? They’re deluded.
-
The perfect Sunday! Pretty much today, but did service the chipper and take the twins swimming first. Rugby instead of film, and big dinner and a bit too much wine still to come!
-
I know. Ebay sell them.
-
Good idea, but ‘the thieves best friend’ ebay sell these for £43. Why would any honest person need a tracker detector?
-
Well ebay wouldn’t pull it would they? They are as bad as the thieves.
-
The bricked in ones round here are the thieving, drug dealing, coursing bastards who are causing all the problems.
-
I wonder why?
-
Correct price to fell 5 sycamores (London)

Get a price from a local and qualified company. Any other answer on here will be pure speculation. -
I am 100% behind Jimmy Carr. And I’m not being funny.

I’m quite chuffed so far that this thread hasn’t attracted some bleeding heart defending the dids. We all know the craic.
-
All I can think of Mick is that the dids have a network of a few genuine machines and can order the parts for the serial numbers from them. Doesn’t help if there’s a big problem only a dealer can sort out though. The manufacturers certainly don’t do enough to help. The basic security locks are laughable. They obviously see a stolen machine as a new sale.
