  1. I prefered the fern... But... AT loyalty won out and I put my x against yours.
  2. Hi M, welcome to the 'site. If your course tutors and your health care professionals tell you that exercise and climbing will be ok for you and the bump, why aren't you confident in taking their advise? If you want to do the course, then do it, I'm sure your friends are only showing their concern for you by trying to warn you off of it. If however, you will be aprehensive still, regardless of all the reassurances that you have been given, then don't do it. You will only put yourself at greater risk of injury by being so tense and the anxiety will not be any good for either of you.
  3. And there by completely dispelling it's common name!
  4. FYI, like http://www.dendrologist.org.uk/NationalTreeForumForestryAdvisoryPanel.pdf
  5. ' platyphllos, by any chance?
  6. There speaks a man of great knowledge (although your gixxer's not bad either ). I recently signed up with London Bikers forum and this was from a rideout posted by one of the members (another tree bloke, oddly enough). We started at the Ace, then up through the back roads to Wallingford, through Uffington (Dragon Hill by the White Horse is effing amazing!). I left them at Wootton Basset. It was a 125 friendly day out, with fairly a sedate pace and mostly legal speed limits. For some one like me who usually rides alone, it was a really good run and with some lovely people. I'll be back out with the same crowd this weekend
  7. They used to be really common when I was a wee kid along the railway owned land near me. I haven't seen any for years though.
  8. That's a stonker of a sweet chestnut Why are you country dancin' in the centre of it?
  9. If I've read the meaning of this correctly, then I think it deserves a We're sooooo far above and beyond the average!
  10. "Duration of consent 6.58 The LPA may in some cases believe it appropriate to impose a time limit (of, say, two years) on the duration of the consent. After the expiry of the time limit a further application for consent would have to be made." It is my understanding that the expirey day, so to speak, is at the LA's discretion and will be stated in the consent.

    Otters

    You lucky, lucky bugger, you They're great pics and you were very priviledged to get so close. There is soemething so endearing and totally captivating about otters.
  12. I'll probably burn in feminist hell for saying, that in general, I do tend to agree with you on this. For work that is so incredibly physically demanding as forestry, the average woman will be at a distinct disadvantage. No amount of equal rights can change the fact that women have a lower muscle ratio than men (and I have to stress that I'm talking generally and there are always exceptions). However, as you also said, a large proportion of men wouldn't be able to cope with this work either. Even though modern mechanisation goes someway to redress this, I think women will always be at a disadvantage in forestry. Which is why we'll use our superior intelligence and choose better payed and slightly less strenuous work
  13. Thanks for the link . That certainly wasn't on The FC page when we were looking for it earlier in the year

    what bird

    You'll be slumming it at the Portland Bill onservatory next I like a good ident' challenge too. I'm working with three obsessive birders at the moment and I guess they are having an influence on me, whether I likes it or not. I'm assuming a woodpeckerish outline for this beastie, so for my next random guess, how about a bit of exotica and a juvenile hoopoo?

    Gold star that man
  16. A couple of the Trumph from last weekend. I've cunningly managed to avoid being in all of the pics
  17. Nope. It's the rara skirt that does that.
  18. That's a beautiful flat. It's a shame that piccy #5 makes it look like a brothel

    what bird

    Anything like one of these?
  20. Your stump bench is really good. I hope your customers are very happy with it; I know I would be

    what bird

    A young green woodpecker and mistle thrush for comparison: Or perhaps you spotted something really rare and not usually seen in this country that will get the twitchers overly excited?
  22. I'm with you on this one. Yes, the realities are that wear and tear takes it's toll on the body as you get older and recovery time becomes longer as you age. But knowledge and technique also play a huge part in in any job and climbing is no exception. An older climber can easily out perform a teenager (obviously, there will always be exceptions) because of their experience. Again, it is so dependant on the individual's ability and mental attitude.
  23. Or a Ginja I'm far too old and knackered to be on the tools these days, but I'm smart enough to realise this. My climbing days are definately long gone. I could keep you well supplied in tea and cake though
  24. So you only love me for my arb, huh ?
