  1. My wife related this to me from an Instagram story that happened a few miles away. GP visits a lady at home; boots and suits, examines her and opines that she's showing symptoms of COVID. Steps outside to write up his notes at which point the alleged patient exits the house; 'Thanks for coming; me and my mates are just off to get some coffee and cakes'. You couldn't make these people up.
  2. Me too but one must maintain decorum don't you think? ?
  3. Laura Kuenssberg I think - BBC Political Editor. Argumentative, combative little... madam.
  4. And is a heck of a nice guy; a good one to work for I'm sure. I've PM'd him about this thread.
  5. Glad it went to a good home. I got told I could have it but never an answer to my question 'where is it?'!
  6. Green woodpeckers too. We had one repeatedly visiting the same patch of lawn that turned out to be infested with chafer grubs.
  7. I wonder if it was an attempt to keep tree rats off.
  8. Hi Steve. They're 6' long milled at 1.5", 2" and one @2.5". All 2' wide more or less. I'd be grateful if you could persuade him. He wouldn't need to collect them of course; I can handle your coffee!
  9. None! I don't work wood: when I wanted just a nice cheese board I got you to make me one!
  10. I could be tempted... ? ...only to find you weren't talking to me ?
  11. To add to the doubt my thought was a large hawthorn.
  12. A relevant thread. I was given a Tulip stem a couple of years ago and had it milled by an Arbtalker. I've recently sold 4 of 27 boards! It is beautiful stuff with its butter yellow heartwood but what do I do with a load of 6' x 2' Tulip boards?!
  13. I can't see why it wouldn't work. My Brian James tipper has a payload of 2T and the option of underslung ramps that may bear 1.3T. Why build in ramp storage if the trailer's unsuitable for loading machines? Of course BJ also make tippers of larger capacity.
  14. Er - did you get my PM? But I'm not fussed or desperate!
  15. You're a boy in the job... 60p for a pint of Harveys.
  16. Good to hear. Thanks. ?
  17. Was thinking about him the other day in the context of the crap winter and what a previous such winter did to him. Is he OK as far as you know? I met him once very briefly in the car park of Exeter Services ?

    Lock Down?

    ...unless said oldies have been generous in the 7 years before their demise. Then the nouveau riche rellies will find a very nasty letter from HMRC landing on their doorstep ?
  19. Let muttley9050 have a look first may I suggest? He's a genuine guy and skilled craftsman.
  20. You could try asking on here. Remember they're woodturners but professionals on there may be able to help. Monkey Puzzle Tree WWW.AWGB.CO.UK Monkey Puzzle Tree
  21. Where does rug end and cat begin?! Good girl; well done Mum.
  22. It really is some pond that; more like Lough Marcus.
  23. Can you see where you're going? I was born and bred in Rotherfield and it was a sort of in joke that you could rarely see more than 50 yards in Crowborough for fog.
  24. ...and find ways to run up and down their fields a smaller number of times and thus maybe give the soil and its flora/fauna a chance!
