  1. I know, I was joking. That’s why I hardly ever do it. There’s a lot of vids out there though. Everything rigged until it’s time to flop a 5 tonne stem onto the shitty bit of earth that needed ‘protection’.
  2. Why don’t you negative rig huge pieces onto vast expanses of rough, bare earth to put on Instagram?

  5. You are pretty clueless. Tree of the Year in 2016. Do you know how well an oak would thrive in that setting in Northumberland?
  6. That’s kind of my point Joe. Criminal damage on its own isn’t a big deal. Albeit with over £600 k’s worth of damage. They can’t invent a special new law to prosecute them under just because they killed an amazing tree. Letter of the, fine in the hundreds and bound over. @AHPP? For what it’s worth if I ever meet either of them they will end up with even less teeth than they already haven’t, and there’s plenty like me in Northumberland feel the same. My Dad showed me that tree 45 years ago, a little while before Robin Hood.
  7. I would shoot the pair of c’s, but in the eyes of the law they have only been found guilty of criminal damage. There is no specific law about felling what was, in my my opinion, one of the UK’s most significant trees. Sentencing is in July. The horrible lying bastards will probably get fined a few hundred quid. I really hope I’m wrong mind.
  8. You don’t need both? That’s the whole point.
  9. Wordling after midday? Feckless moron.

  11. Bloody foreigners, coming over here, taking our words!
  12. That impact wrench tip you gave me is golden! Sorry Stu, not much help to you now! Good luck getting it out.
  13. There is truth in that. Double bubble it is then!
  14. That’s the sort of job I look at for about 4 seconds then refuse to do. Thick poshos who have let their shite hedge get totally out of control aren’t my problem.

  16. No, you don’t get it back, it’s just offset against your final year tax bill. Like Timber Futures, I found that construction firms try and spring it on you as a surprise. Always check!
  17. You can’t get round it, I’ve tried! If you register for CIS before you submit your invoice (registration is pretty quick and easy) you’ll only get 20% deducted instead of 30. These days I just add 20% if I know we’re working under CIS, and get the tax break at the end as well.

  21. What a striking ash tree on one of Scotland's busiest streets tells us after Sycamore Gap felling WWW.SCOTSMAN.COM An isolated tree on one of Scotland’s busiest streets is proving how nature can defy the ash dieback disease.

  23. Same, but I bastardised it.
  24. No European has ever used the word. I lucked it because I’ve been looking at some JFK stuff recently and remember what Lee Harvey Oswald said.
