  1. Stupid word. Wordle 1,076 5/6 🟨⬜⬜⬜⬜ ⬜⬜⬜⬜🟨 ⬜⬜🟨🟩⬜ ⬜🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
  2. I can’t comment on flow rate etc. because I only have the WQ SSQ11+, but I have found the build quality to be excellent. Plenty of metal where it needs to be. I haven’t had a single issue in over 2 years. @doobin has the Sherpa and trialled the WQ, so his opinion will be worth getting.
  3. Intellectual meltdown after line 2. Wordle 1,075 6/6 ⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜ ⬜⬜⬜🟩⬜ ⬜🟩⬜🟨⬜ 🟨🟩⬜⬜⬜ ⬜🟩⬜🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
  4. It’s the same as premature thinker.
  5. A very negative performance. Wordle 1,074 5/6 🟨⬜⬜⬜🟨 🟩⬜🟨⬜⬜ 🟩🟩⬜⬜🟩 🟩🟩⬜⬜🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
  6. Wordle 1,073 3/6 ⬜⬜🟩🟨⬜ 🟩⬜🟩🟨🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
  7. Toughed it out. Phew! Wordle 1,072 6/6 ⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜ 🟩⬜🟨⬜⬜ 🟩🟩⬜⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟨⬜⬜ 🟩🟩⬜🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
  8. Or even without the noise of the factory.
  9. You need to work for someone else and learn the job before you set up on your own.
  10. @Doug Tait do you know anyone?
  11. Redeemed myself after yesterday’s disgraceful 4 Mick. Wordle 1,071 3/6 ⬜⬜⬜🟩⬜ ⬜⬜⬜🟩🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
  12. Sorry. I’ve let the side down.

  15. Massively. It’s connected to the amount of wine consumed at lunchtime.
  16. This is the β€˜forestry’ Dan was on about. Different laws in France, and not enough room in the car for a bigger saw on a family holiday! fd8f1649-3b37-4251-aa48-9f6c1bd857c1.mov
  17. That was just for scale Dan. You can’t use them on the ground or you go to prison.
  18. Umbrella pine Mick? Could easily have been.
  19. Squat but chunky Corsican fell today. Just me and the Worky Quad. Twin stemmed, about 20” dia at felling points, stump left high to wrestle out with a 13 tonner. The building is being demolished and replaced. A fair bit of logistical juggling with two machines, 2 loads of chip and 2 heavy, but home by 4 in time to walk the dogs.
  20. I guess you and me won’t make the cut Mick. Pun intended.
  21. I knew it! These benders have a lot to answer for.
  22. No, that’s the Jews fault.
  23. Why does it β€˜need’ a trim?
  24. Get in! Wordle 1,068 3/6 🟨🟨🟩⬜⬜ ⬜🟨🟩🟨🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
  25. Still being a funny old year for sure. Red hot, wet, cold, dry, wet. Weather can’t put a run together. I’m lucky being on my own, I wouldn’t fancy having a crew to feed. I/we (as in the other lads I team up with on bigger stuff) have had quite a few chunky Β£2-Β£3k jobs cancelled or postponed. I have noticed on social media a proliferation of parasitic companies offering to β€˜find you tree surgery visits from just Β£99’ etc., which hardly helps matters. Still way too many people out there pricing for wages, or less. I lost a gutty but straightforward conny hedge rip out I priced at Β£700 for two of us. Easy day time wise. 3 builder/gyppo types did it for Β£500, took them 2 full days. I have no wish to compete with that.
