  1. Good recovery by you as well Mark.
  2. Happy with a 4 after that start. Wordle 1,571 4/6 ⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜ ⬜🟨⬜⬜⬜ ⬜🟨🟨⬜🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
  3. Wordle 1,570 3/6 ⬜🟨⬜🟩🟩 ⬜⬜🟨🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
  4. I used to do a bit of tree surgery.
  5. Touché Rich! Wordle 1,569 4/6 ⬜🟨⬜⬜🟩 🟩🟩🟩⬜🟩 🟩🟩🟩⬜🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
  6. As above. And you’ll have to find somewhere else to put your washing line.
  7. He ran our local boozer for a short period in the late 90’s as a relief manager. Spent most of it staggering about pissed! I did the old ‘Del Boy falling through the bar hatch’ bit at one point, which made him laugh. RIP Patrick.
  8. Doug is having a lie in. Don’t worry, he’ll soon be along to cock it up.

  10. What happens to the gorse bales?
  11. Unfortunately not. I will be with my 11 year old daughter and her friend. A bottle of Shiraz and a few tins of Belgium’s finest will see me through.
  12. It’s my mate’s wood. That is actually an old gravel pump. All 800kg of it! Purpose made bbq mesh and cover. We are camping there in a couple of weeks. Lovely spot.
  13. You’re spot on, like.
  14. God you sound old.
  15. Part of an ongoing woodland job recoppicing some old mainly hornbeam hedgerow stocks. This section has quite a deep and wide (thankfully dry) ditch behind it, backing onto a cultivated field. Some leaners will pull, some won’t. Anything sent into the ditch won’t pull out because it will prong into the bank. WQ and a handy oak tree and voila! Crane-tastic! IMG_1714.mov
  16. What about smoke flares attached to ankles and Go-Pros? Dinosaur.
  17. Very informative, thanks.

  19. Why would you ever give a customer an option to not pay for the job to be done properly? The price is A - full price for a proper job or B - zero, because the job isn’t getting done. If they want to get pikies with ladders in and have loads of mess and shit broken leave them to it.
  20. Did you rate it as a grinder though Josh? Pretty sure that’s the one Ross White had, and thought it was mentally good, possibly too good for the size/weight. Like an animal 8” chipper that weighed 400kg.
  21. Great news! Good luck with it mate. Nurse pics please.
  22. I wondered if there had been a historic ‘incident’ that this stems from.
  23. Same Dave. I also know 4 people who ‘suffer’ from it. 2 teachers, one copper and one council employee. I think Mark’s case is the exception that proves the rule. He makes a good point though, we should look out for each other if and when we can.
