  1. Chocking the mid point of your ramps increases their loadbearing capacity x4
  2. Lens is good for plants I've found as long as you're prepared to say 'that's not it'; indeed it's not 100% right but it's a big help
  3. Ecoplugs should work; I've done it successfully with long laurel roots
  4. As a grower of rare trees you really need to label better!
  5. +1 for parbuckling. If you don't have a winch three guys with a rope each will roll that up sensible ramps: don't forget to place chocks on the trailer bed to stop it rolling onto your feet when it comes off the top of the ramps!

  7. Can't help you; I only watch the Youtube clips! Probs true; I'd guess the script between fights is cringeing
  8. Here's one
  9. Never Back Down 3 apparently
  10. Spookily I see from your genuine advert that I could!!!
  11. Could I get Fridays off?
  12. Totally. 'It's only 10ft tall' - Yes, but once I'm up there I have to reach 8ft across it! Height - not usually a problem; width - not usually a problem; but the two together... with access from one side only...! It's not just the shoulders etc that suffer; they impact on the back which impacts on the hips. And you're often locking knees out to maintain position on the ladder. Defo worse on the joints than well executed climbing (not that I know much about that but I get the theory 😊)

  14. They saw us off twice a long time ago too remember. No-one's ever truly taken the country
  15. That beak is gruesome!

  17. ...problem being that nutters like that don't go round with Post-Its on their foreheads reading 'I'm a nutter like that' 😊
  18. I think you're reading too much into the legislation there tbh. I was thinking along the lines HMRC rules whereby both money and money's worth are theoretically taxable (for Income Tax purposes anyway). In your example the arb's saving in disposal fees would not be seen as a financial gain
  19. 'by way of sale' I wouldn't see as ambiguous; it surely has to mean in exchange for money or money's worth
  20. Well you wouldn't expect a successfully lobbied government to actually target the right people would you? They wouldn't vote the right way again if the government did!

  23. Spot on on every point. The wood was good, it is good and it will continue to be good; paying a quango a ludicrous amount to do the same as ever is pointless and ain't happening here. As clear as the nose on one's face it's a money-making exercise and no more
  24. The exact words of a guy near me doing between 200 and 300 tons a year - **** 'em!
