  1. Maybe water table issue.
  2. I would never give them a penny simply because of their views on fieldsports.
  3. Had many a chain break and never a scary moment.
  4. Wonder what they'd make of going through a chipper!
  5. My first time was off camera. Paid to stop working by the BBC whilst they were filming some drama series. The old 076 was drowning everything out:001_smile: Second time was being filmed and interviewed carving a totem pole bt ITV. Scary!
  6. I thought he seemed a nice well-spoken lad who's had least had the initiative to try. He may not know what he's doing but he's the sort of kid that would soon learn if shown:thumbup:
  7. Some nice hay cut here but grass has been a bit sparse. Some is selling for £6!
  8. Orwellian nightmare by the looks of it.
  9. You a fortune teller:001_smile:
  10. The late, great Alan Mitchell would have agreed with your friend. Copper beech was an abomination to him with the reluctant exception of 'Rivers Purple'. I remember doing a tour of Westonbirt with him and remembering about 1% of his dialogue.....a strange sight running about in his shorts and sandals everywhere:001_smile:
  11. Don't they both have the same amount of chlorophyll in their leaves but is less obvious in the copper variety due the presence of carotin?
  12. They need shade and a slightly acidic soil. Can also suffer from phytophora.
  13. Not sure if the variegation in 'Drummondii' is caused by a virus. Sometimes the meristem tissue in plants can outgrow the virus....think I remember it right from college but I'll stand to be corrected:001_smile:
  14. It looks chlorotic...maybe lime-induced with a sooty mould too.
  15. http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/general-chat/5790-make-your-own-log-burner.html?highlight=bottle+burner
  16. Def squirrels. Sometimes the damage isn't apparent from the ground.
  17. Followed by a nice white wine sauce:001_tt2:
  18. Well I never......something new every day.
  19. Felted beech coccus on the beech and looks like wooly aphid on the fruit tree. Can't make out pic of yew....sorry.
  20. This has to be a wind-up:001_smile:
  21. Bigger diameter means longer rolling radius = higher gearing. In theory it should increase mpg as long as engine can cope easily with the higher gearing and you don't have to run it in a lower gear all the time.
  22. Has to be Sooty bark disease. http://www.treehelp.info/media/Publications/TDA%20111A%20Sooty%20Bark%20Year..pdf
  23. Will my injector pump wear out?
  24. We are a long way behind the rest of Europe. In Holland a law was passed last year that makes it obligatory to use an alkylate petrol in hand held petrol machinery. I think it's also obligatory to smoke a joint whilst using machinery in Holland
  25. The guy filming has more nerve than me. Sounds like a circular saw blade in there:001_smile:
