  1. You've left your nighty on in some of them, silly boy
  2. Why, thank you kind sir. I'm suprised that you didn't spot the deliberate mistake in that piccy 2 is actually Laetiporus, that old fat fingers here uploaded by mistake I'll lend you my specs, if you like?
  3. They may not be technical, as you put it, but they look pretty darn good
  4. To this suburbanite, it looks like past vandalism that has had a chance to occlude . Something that I come across far too frequently
  5. And you do it so well . I should have typed less common than atypical, really, but I like the word
  6. Just to add to the comments above, I've come across it quite a bit on Aesculus hip', but not on x carnea before. Also on the atypical species list, I've found it on Prunus and Sorbus. Yet another fungus that hasn't been reading about where it's supposed to live!
  7. Sorry, I'll try not to show you up with that glorious piece of British engineering of mine. Presuming yours makes it there, that is... I'm looking forward to a day with the two AT fungi meisters . It should be very educational.
  8. Date and location are good for me - c ya there
  9. I'm taking a wild guess that you mean the latter? Directgov jobs and skills search - Job details Note the closing date though There's also another Woodland Officer position in Wales advertised, BTW.
  10. It used to be sports cars and a gym membership, but perhaps playing with chainsaws is the new black for mid life crisis'?
  11. Naked mud wrestler? Failing that, Sheffield is advertising for a woodland manager that mite be your cup of tea (if you don't mind relocating).
  12. It it was left as a mono, even to just above the crown break, the risk of faulure would be minimal for many years to come. The original failure point was not the base or the trunk, after all. And as for those nasty evil splinters... The opportunity for play and education far outweighs any PERCEIVED risk that a bit of rough wood may pose in this ridiculously risk adverse age off ours.
  13. Shame it wasn't left as a monolith, tho.
  14. I thought we all WANTED more standing deadwood, especially natives? Ban the kids, problem solved .

  17. How did you train the Puma to helpfully turn the bolete like that?
  18. If you're really stuck then you could always approach the LA Contractor. More permanent - yes. More challenging? Possibly not. But you'll get damn good at Plane re reductions.
  19. Even a few weeks of Jeremy is a slightly better proposition:thumbdown:. But offer to pay for my travel and something towards my chocolate addiction and if something doesn't turn up soon, I might be tempted to be your volunteer
  20. I've always been lead to believe, by people with considerably more letters after their name than me, that there are no major predators of HC leaf miners. But to my way of thinking, if bats can feed on large amounts of midges, then 'miners must be forming part of their diet too, even though they don't tend to be strong flyers? The reducton in this years infestation may be due the unusually cold winter killing off more than normal amounts of overwintering ' miners.

    Can't wait to see how how young Rossi gets on with the Ducati . Other than riding backwards or somethin, that's got to be about the only challenge left to him in GP. And it should make for great watching for us armchair racers
  22. It's great to know I can always count on the Artalk folk for their ongoing support
  23. I've only seen it on Ash and Plane, and with considerably larger brackets, which is why seeing it on a Rowan threw me a bit. Unfortunately for the tree, it's in a residential area so it's down for a fell. No chance of leaving it for habitat or future interest for arbs'.
