  1. [quote=Mark Bolam; They should have shot him. BUT he wasnt carrying a chair leg, or stark naked & "acting in a threating manner" as in previous police use lethal force.
  2. Have decided that it might make economic sense to a least try bigger repairs, since the shop charges £30- (+ vat) to even look at something.
  3. A great show Hey, does your 600 include that little old lady wandering about the site looking slightly confused late on Saturday afternoon ?
  4. Just set up your own guild How about Guild of Master Tree Surgeons ? So what if it only has one member. Get your own logo
  5. Round here a couple of shipping containers were nicked complete with contents.
  6. Seems to be just some company calling itself a "guild" Guild "members" dont seem have any say. ought to be a law against it.
  7. Drain the fuel out & stuff them under your bed.
  8. You are right, they want a quick job. Time consuming measures such as heavy steel chain through saw handles to a anchor point would slow them. You could even do this to individual saws.
  9. & I thought that it was just the Met that acted like a gang of hired thugs.
  10. What about somebody compiling a list of the types of security measures that are being overcome by thieves & what could be done better ?
  11. Cut & split into 8 - 10in lengths & stacked under cover with good ventilation it should be burnable by winter. Sap is very sugary & it can get black mould if not dried fast enough.
  12. I thought ripping chains cut with the grain, not across it
  13. Pidgeons can carry nasty dieases. I know of the case of a liitle girl underwent major surgery for a growth on her neck around her jugular vein. It was touch & go, but she made it. Turned out to be some form of bird tuberculosis, caught from the pidgeons that crapped all over the balcony where she played.
  14. Woodpidgeon kept building a nest in a tree overlooking my veggie patch, probably so it could just pop down for lunch. No matter how many times i knocked out the sticks it would rebuild. Solved it by stuffing an old white plastic football in the tree, seems to have spooked it.
  15. Now youve built it I would keep well away. Twitchers are dangerous. Remember that film "THE HIDE"
  16. Oh very smart So you thought that when people dammed you for planting Leylandii you could deny it hand on heart. But its the MOTHER of ALL Leylandii
  17. My daughter in London spotted a pidgeon nest made completely out of plastic forks.
  18. Stick it on Woodlots WoodLots and phone around the wood wanted ads. Look at other peoples prices
  19. My father in law has given me an old Stihl 010 He bought it after the 87 storm & was only used to cut up a couple of trees in the garden. It wont run & the workshop say it needs a new carb & is not economic to repair. How easy is it to replace the carb myself ? What would it cost ? Would it make a good carving saw ?
  20. or season & sell as carving wood at a premium price.
  21. Big G & his believers would need some kind of weird convoluted thinking for him to have manufactured all those rocks & fossils in some big "flood" just so as to make it look as if it took millions of years.
  22. According to belivers we seem to some kind of puppets, jerked around for the glorification of big G
  23. A year ago a friend of mine was diagnosed with a brain tumor, I get over there to see him about once a month and have watched him slowly deteriorate. Now crippled, unable to walk or feed himself, difficulty swallowing, has to wear diapers. But when he manages to talk you realise that his mind is still fully active. If there was a god, then it would have to some kind of sick monster to do this to a person.
  24. O how dangerous it is to dare to speak the truth.
