just give him an invoice that fairly covers the loss, i assume the cctv footage shows everything clearly enough for you not to be mistaken?

i bet the two legged foodgiver is glad of the vinyl seats in the landy.. imagine if he had a landcruiser mmm cloth

good job you didnt wear sleeves on that twig.. any more weight and it would have snapped..

and that was northern radiators (NRG) and i picked it up sunday too...!

thats an expensive rad, i usually pay £100+vat for a rad re-core, although lastweek i got a new rad for the disco for the same price and its a new aluminium core with plastic sides inc oil cooler..

What's with the flying shovel handle in this pic?

tossing shovels is a southern thing.. apparently:thumbup:

Boletus edulis and chrondostereum purpureum more likely !

forget the new camera that i'd love to own so much, i need a fungbook, mines gone awol, thats what i get for googling 'purple fungi'..

no idea, could maybe find out from their website though emailing them would probs be needed.. Ed.

got mi wee scottie today, looked a tad dry so i stuck it straight in a pot in the rain:thumbup:

bout time we had a sandwich thread, i just used the last of the plum jam.. no idea with the cooked meat, im not a cooking dude, im an eating dude..

i hope thats the driver digging.. hahahahaha

i keep mine nice and sharp, they wouldn't stop at the slightest few fingers, we usually gauge the sticks it will cut by a 'thumbs width', stevie blair has a good safe method there, hope he doesn't mind if i steal a couple of ideas..

take a photo and put up an arbtalk non-competetive 'guess the weight' thread.. did have a table for this but my office is upsidedown at the mo..

for my personal woodstores i built a frame from 3x2 6ft high, 2ft deep and as long as the fence is.. old roofing slates on top (boards/tarps/shingles would do) so the drip line is way out from the wood. with a shelf halfway up so you get a good rotation, stack the split logs 2xdeep with the outer edge as straight as you can (well you have to view it as a garden feature now) with a space at one end for a builders trug full of kindling, my personal stores can hold 5tonne which doesnt last long on the open fire.. Ed.

Hi odd_bird, I for one thoroughly encourage the use of women in arb.. joking aside a good friend and hard grafter i use quite often told me he is willing to work for free if i can get a bird on the team.. Ed.

cool, can it be done with a chainsaw to scare people?

She can buy her own t cut Bob, she knocked a 1000 miles of rubber off my sidewalls

Hi Baobab, I'm in a similar situation, the college (myerscough) im learning with pulled a smart trick on me, signed up for a 3yr course Foundation Degree in Arb at approx £1000 per year, I have done two years and they say i must attend another two years to get the certs for it.. I got peed off and am having a gap year this year, will probably return next year but not happy.. Don't forget college/university is just ONE way of learning, it is structured to fit in a lot without going too deep into the actual vocational path you have chosen. I'm not going to waste the gap year without learning, I'm working my way through a number of books as well as researching anything that interests me and is current in the world of arb.. Ed.

Coprinus comatus i believe, found it today next to an twinstem elm that looks to be shutting down, the fruiting body was quite big, i was travelling at 50mph when i spotted it, been to alton towers today but left the camera in the car, pity as there was a good selection there including fistulina on a dead oak.

i agree it's not a problem that necessarily NEEDS solving,, but then it doesnt need to be,, it's merely another option,,

 

i dont like to have a tipper pickup, i would however use that,, then a tipping trailer with chip box,

imagine how much chip you could get into a good sized trailer too..
