Fun with fungi- guess the close up
Graham replied to Tony Croft aka hamadryad's topic in Fungi Pictures
Ossicaulis lignatilis? -
Death wish!

Always do ours at tickover. Full revs sounds harsh! Always disengage at tickover too.

It's an ill wind that blows no one any good. Have to take a look at that weather chart.

Thanks for the replies. He's been to the doctors for a check up and seems ok. Bit upset about his bike which is possibly a write off...bent forks, cracked headstock, smashed clocks and various scrapes. I shall get on to the police in the morning. I checked her insurance online and she is insured so she must be wanting to avoid a claim:thumbdown:

It may have been joined with a tie strap removed from another chain. They get bent slightly and then straightened. Done it myself in an emergency:001_smile:

Had a phone call today from my son to say someone's knocked him off his motorbike. I race to the scene to find him sitting on the side of the road along with his bent up bike. A woman who happened to be a nurse pulled straight out in front of him and he's gone into the drivers' door. Hurt his leg and his head hit the door pillar. Luckily the helmet broke and his head didn't. After the 'are you ok? etc she proceeds to tell him he shouldn't claim as it was his fault and his insurance premium will go up and he may have difficulty finding someone to insure him! He's a quiet sort and was dazed so he just took it in. But the thing that really annoys me js the fact that a member of the nursing profession should then just drive off and leave him sitting on the side of the road:confused1: Anyway just wanted to rant about it. Passed all details to police and insurance and hopefully they'll deal with it.

Fractures in links are not uncommon. Happens to me occasionally.

The area of his triangle is 1600 m2 80x20. Or maybe not as I've just realised I may have made a mistake

That's about right. 2500 per hectare = 400

The books are absolutely brilliant. Keep up the thinking:thumbup:

Lovely place and nice pics. I wondered about the deadwooding too. Mackerel skies and mares tails...you nave a storm coming.

He's 54 and he did something silly when he was 17. Not really anything to hold against any man. He's gay..... so what! He's a funny, witty and articulate writer and presenter amongst his other attributes. Heralded as a modern day Oscar Wilde and, if nothing else in common, they both spent time in gaol:001_smile:

Use a ladder as a stretcher to carry the gear to the job, as a quick access up and down the tree and stretcher gear back to the truck. Job done and if no one sees you then you've not lost your street cred by using ladders:laugh1: Ladders=time saving.

It's a nightmare for kids. My lad's 18 and I can't add him as a named driver. Can only insure him as the main driver with his name on the logbook at an exhorbitant price. Ironically I can phone the insurance broker up (NFU) and put him on temporary cover for 60 days per time for £60. At a pound a day it's cheaper than mine!

You're right but when you think you're helping out a neighbour it's different as you think that one day they may help you out. Sadly not always the case.

You can get a grab for that. Can't remember what they're called but someone will.

Came home a couple of years ago to find a Transit on my drive with a guy topping my neighbours overgrown conifer hedge. Anyway this Irish guy tells me he's off in a minute so leave my truck and go inside. He leaves bits of brash half the hedge topped and a pile of brash against neighbour's garage. Next morning neighbour tells me he's coming back to finish and that he never thought of asking me to do the job. He was paid the night before so that 'he could pay for tipping'. I told my neighbour he wouldn't see him again...he didn't:001_smile: In the end we chipped up the remaining tops....no offer of payment made but made excuses when asked to do remaining hedge as 'it wouldn't take us long'! I also got fed up of his fence lying on its side so replaced it myself to keep my dog in. Not a single offer of a contribution to the cost just a 'nice fence' comment. I now detest the idle !$!*.

Antiques Roadshow 3000AD: will the experts know what it was used for:001_smile:

He's lying in front of the fire panting. Going to give him a bowl of water soon.

I had three lads on YTS in '87. One was useless. In fact he was so bad I was paid to keep him by the authority. The other two were good lads and I kept them on fulltime. One is now a consultant and the other still in the business and doing well.

You have to have sympathy for both. Who knows the torment going through someone's mind. Very sad.

Well it's just gone down a treat. Loves his food:001_smile:

They reckon you should eat a peck of dirt before you die:001_smile: I'm off to the pub for my tea!
