He already has, its just no-one was prepared to tell him, as we all knew what it would do to him, so Steve agreed under a lot of pressure to fudge the results:001_tongue:

Picking up the oak. Finally. Felled overnight in november. Brought it back to the yard today. The big piece is about 4.5 tonnes according to the weigher on the crane.:001_smile:Might have to get the chainsaw mill out for that one:scared1:

Haha.:congrats:

I have posted this pic on another thread, but here goes with one of the oldest if not the oldest pseudotsuga menziesii in the country. Shaggy old thing.

I bet you tell that to all the girls:001_tongue:

Ha ha:001_smile:I used to go out with a girl from Skirlaugh? near Beverly!! Long distance relationship!

Go for it- every day of the week mate- if you can get more money take it, if not, i'd take it anyway!!!

Arbtalkers ruining peace???? Perish the thought:001_tongue:

Bloke has got a fixings and fastenings company called Bates's nails. Hes doing pretty well- ads in the local paper and on the radio- really giving B&Q a run for their money. So he decides to put an ad on ITV. He rings them up, and explains his company. "leave it all to us sir" says the helpful advertising man from ITV. "Your first ad will be shown four weeks from now in the first ad break of "The Bill". Great says the man. Four weeks later there he is watching the Bill expectantly. First advert break, up comes a picture of Jesus on the cross, and then a close up of the heads of the nails which display the legend "Bates' Nails" and two soldiers stood next to the cross. One says to the other "those Bates nails are good eh mate?" Then the guys mobile rings with the first irate viewer- "you cant use the image of christ's cucifiction for financial gain." blah blah blah. He gets to work in the morning- fax full of the same, e-mails to boot. So he rings up ITV. " I thought the ad was ok but I'm losing custom, ypou have to pull it!" "Dont worry sir, we DID think it was a bit risky, but thought we would run it anyway. Give us a fortnight, we'll pull this ad now, and get another sorted f.o.c" "Thanks" says the man, "just pull it straight away" Two weeks later, first ad break in the bill, a somewhat nervous Mr Bates is anticipating his re-vamped ad...... Up comes the adfs, starting with an image of Jesus going hell for leather across the desert with two Roman soldiers flat out in pirsuit, one shouting to the other "I told you we should have used those 'Bates' nails!!!

loved the bear at the end! Top vid.

You have opened the bigest can of worms there is. There are so many clauses that there is ABSOLOUTELY NO SET RULE THAT COVERS EVERY VEHICLE. You need to get in touch with DVLA and they will set you straight, as long as you are totally honest. Someone said VOSA were ok to deal with????????????????????? What planet are you on mate. They are a non-government private enterprise that is made up of small minded people who are so bitter about i dont know what that they spend their days scoring cheap points by hammering drivers for bullpoo excuses just to justify their pathetic existence. Rant over.

sorry:blush:

Hahahaha:001_tt2:

AA fair, or "Salon International?":001_tongue:LOL

What sort of terms does "SWB ltd., supplier of plant and machinery to arbtalkers" offer for finance mate. Theres some pretty good cider down my way...

Thats what you thought they said.........

:001_tongue: BTW good to meet you at capel mate!

Yes it is managed, and I think about 18 months to 2 tears ago if my memory serves. It is in the middle of a tiny parcel of woodland on the edge of town. It has some very large trees in there- having said numerous times at capel that there werent any in cornwall!! The woodland was part of a large estate, and was planted with, so the sign says, many native and exotic/ rare trees, although i didnt have time to really look, just wanted an easy one for me and the boy to play around in! I was approached about two years ago by a landscaper/ woodland manager guy regarding regenerating the wood for the locals to use, but heard no more about it. Sunday is the first time i have been in there, and there has been extensive clearing work carried out on the understory, and removal of several trees is apparent, but the finished result is well on te way to looking fabulous in about another 12 months, if not by the end of this summer. There are established paths, a "childrens discovery area", wildlife related i reckon, and some really good scainsaw carvings, alll relating to woodland flora and fauna. The reason i suggested lighning strike was because of the burnt out inside of that beech olly was standing in, but actually i am more inclined to think that it was a fire after the presumably dead tree was topped, being already hollow, either deliberately or by mischief. Thesis over.........

Actually i reckon there are good grounds for a caption competition with that photo- two choices available- what Pete has said to cause that reaction, and also it looks to me like Jon Hancock and myself are having a few choice words with Penfold. I see a thread coming on!

Aaaaaarrrrrrrggggggghhhhhhhh!!!!!

Some pics from today. Lightning struck fagus i think.

Ha Ha. Got there first, only i did it the other way round- using B.R's head....... I'm camera shy anyway mate- i think i managed to escape the lens altogether.
