    As i thought. I am sorry to say that my opinion regarding the US and aggression is not opinion, since 1945 they have invaded more foreign countries and caused the death of more innocent people than any other country in the world. There is nothing dubious about that, and i am well aware of how lucky we are to live in a country where i am free to voice these facts. It doesnt alter the fact that they are facts. I wasnt passing judgement on the foreign policy of the americans, other than that i disaprove of it, but that is purely my view, which is inevitably going to differ from the views of others. I aim not to offend.

    Good post. A problem that ought to be self evident with a modecom of forethought, and one of the reasons that certain subjects are to be avoided , or comments made, guarded when on public forums.

    I used to go along that road regularly when i lived in dorset. It brings back fond childhood memories. 365 on one side and 366 on the other. One of them used to catch speeding cars on a regular basis, with the obvious catastrophic results too, as the road goes up and down and curves too.

    I have seen so many saws ruined by bike tuners who are great at tuning motorbikes, but awful at tuning saws. Dont know why, but there you are. The last one was an ms880 by coincidence.

    YOU were responsible (via your employee) for knocking down the wall. Its as simple as that. Get it rebuilt, and i mean just the bit you knocked down, and that will be that. If he wants to play the game of getting the whole thing rebuilt then leave it to your insurers. Your excess will probably be less than getting it rebuilt anyway. Or you could do what Mr Blair said, but i would add that you should knock the rest down in broad daylight whils sticking two fingers up to him........just to teach him a lesson in unreasonableness of course........

    I would hate to live that close to members of the illuminati.....I would rather have asian terrorists as my close neighbours:sneaky2: As far as your last sentence is concerned, I am sorry but i find that the biggest terrorist in the world, responsible for the biggest number of innocent deaths and acts of violence is the USA and its allies.

    These are within 100 yds of the beech with a hole carved out of it Hama, on my other thread.

    My camera battery is dead and i am without charger (thats in cornwall still) and my mobile isnt man enough to get better pics. In pic 2 there is a lot of reacive growth in the bark/ cambium layer, like a horizontal ridge. The left extremity of bark visible in pic 1 is the right extremity of bark visible in pic 2. I will try to get better pics in a bit...

    Thank you. The power of arbtalk. I looked around for ages on google and couldnt find a single reference to this!!! Google spangle gall and it comes straight up!

    Slightly rhetorical question TBH:biggrin: Nonetheless, its a pretty incredible sight. I can remove material from the roots right under this tree, and on 2/3 of the tree there are no roots!! I think it initially got overzealously strimmed and something like kretch has set in. If it wasnt so sheltered and any taller it would be down already.

    I am sure i should know....but what is this?
  18. tommer9
    I just googled him. Seems he's a local lad. If i end up up here i might look him up!

    Dammit Hama:biggrin:- after David's direction to the fungi Guide i was just about to come up with the ident for 1 and 3....2 was still foxing me though..
  24. tommer9
    A few fungi from Shropshire. I dont have my book here, so will leave ident to others...... Actually I am particularly interested to know what the last one is- no better pics as it is about 25' up an ash tree and i was on a bike ride.

    Not really. Its worst when you are milling orfinishing as the dust is so much finer.
