    Does anyone know what they fed on in the UK before Oxford Ragwort was introduced?

    Make sure you give a landline number and not just a mobile. For obvious reasons...

    I don't think he meant putting up those kind of cards in 'phone boxes! How about putting that you can supply references and photos of work? Most people wouldn't have a clue about NPTCs etc but they would trust talking to one of your previous, no doubt very happy, customers.

    Only the four villages on the estate? I wouldn't even contemplate somewhere with less than five...

    Only the usual stuff: stay calm and relaxed at the interview and be honest with them, don't go in wearing a mankini etc etc... I always try to remind myself that the interviewers are my peers and are no different or better than me and if I don't get the job? Then it's nothing personal and something more suityable will eventually come along. I wouldn't add any pics to your CV as they will take up a lot of space in what should be quite a short document. They will also distract from the text, the contents of which are a lot more important than the photos. You could always make a note that pics are available or add a link. Good luck

    That's damselfly lovin' for you. The male grasps his mate by the neck and she then bends her abdomen around and under his to form a heart shape while they mate. He then keeps hold of her while she lays her eggs on aquatic vegetation. I bet that one's not in the Karma Sutra!

    Haha, no worries. It's of no relevance whatsoever - I was just being anorak

    That's some kinky bug watersports there

    I'm hurt I think the general attitude is that if it's only an occasional thing, then it's not worth getting upset over. We all live in an over populated world and there are not many of us who are lucky enough to live completely detached from our neighbours. We all need to compromise a little bit once in a while in order to get along.

    And what about all the nights that the neighbour has no doubt been kept awake by an upset and screaming two year old? You can either get pointlessly wound up about these things or just relax about it a bit more and have much less stress in you life.

    TBH, I didn't have a good look for any FBs or decay as that wasn't my remit for being in the park. I have to be very focussed on what I'm being paid for which is OPM surveying and not general tree inspection. I did want to go back in my own time, have a thorough look around and take some more pics, but as the tree is now deceased, there wouldn't be a lot of point

    Did ya like that? I was trying to make it easier for those reading this who are not fluent in Hama-ese... Most people, in other words

    The catalyst being the inequality of the forces involved; call them the up and down forces or the tension and compression forces?

    I'll email them to you and your fully backed up photo account. Those diagrams make a lot of sense. Have I infered correctly that you won't get shear bomb cracks in a tree that doesn't have either a lean or an inbalanced crown?

    Tell you what, as a special favour to you, I'll take that Foo ticket off your hands and then you'll be free to go out biking

    Cheers Ham. Downloaded and filed in the "must find time to read" folder

    I'm well aware of that You hadn't edited your reply before I'd posted. Your explanation is understandable and appreciated, thank you. Ya pish taking...

    That sounds more like a 90's rock anthem (RATM ). What's that in Inglish, please, dear?

    Or the gravatational pull of planetary alignments?

    Guignardia, perhaps? For the leaf symtoms. Bleedin' canker, as above, for the bark problems. Forest Research - Bleeding Canker of Horse Chestnut - Other common pest and disease problems of horse chestnut

    Firstly, I apologise for the naff quality of my pics... This was a large, mature oak in one of the parks I've been surveying in, about 1m away from a river bank. The large diagonal split extends from ground level to about 3-3.5m upwards and was approx' 10cm wide at the base and tapered. As you can see, it was all the way through the trunk and there were rather alarming sounds of the fibres continuing to rend while I was poking around. There was some evidence of soil movement immediately around the base on the river side. I've never come across this type of splitting in a tree before. The only thing I can liken it to is some of the tree related subsidence damage I've seen in properties, which made me think that perhaps it was maybe due to some movement / collapse in the riverbank? Can anyone give an explanation as to what's going on?

    Short shorts and a vest, haning out in the park under trees all day for me today. AND getting paid for it. Oooh, it's been hellish
  23. janey
    If your thinking what I'm thinking, then I likes your plan indeed

    Hey WoodED, whan you've finished posing with various tool belts, how would you fancy organising an AT rideout or biker's meetup? You have some fantastic roads around you way and I ride up there a lot

    For the time being, until I have decided what exactly I want, this is what I have gone for http://www.trespass.co.uk/product/youths-clothing-3/girls-outerwear-9-16-years-49/waterproof-jackets-314/junga-FYJKRAD20002. I may not have a great choice when it comes to hight spec' arb' specific clothing, but at least I can get into kids stuff. And if it's turns out to be useless, then less than £20 is not exactly too much to lose. I'm eventually looking at getting a three in one jacket, probably one of The North Face ones. Thanks to Plippy and Rupe's codes, I'll be able to splash out that little bit more
