  1. ben, yes it was me,, come say hello if you see me,, will be caught at Sfistral any SW swell if there's wind too,, otherwise i'll be at penhale corner or north watergate,,
  2. as tom says,, without seeing the ground around it looks like unnecessary lowering,, to the left of the tree is a steep hill for 40 foot, then a road,, power lines running along the edge,,, 90% of the tree overhung the hill so it needed to be swung back round to the path,, trust me when i say,, if we could have smashed it down without lowering,, we would have..

    career dilemma

    hmmm,, caution.. before you do anything rash,,, REALLY think about it all,, look at the financial side too,, the stability a steady wage provides etc etc. is it possible for you to do maybe 4 days survey and 1 day contracting? maybe talk with the boss and explain you feel the need to keep on top of the tree work side so as to be a better surveryor? maybe get it built into the role? trust me,,, i know how you feel...

    Jokes???

    A woman brought a very limp duck into a veterinary surgeon. As she laid her pet on the table, the vet pulled out his stethoscope and listened to the bird's chest. After a moment or two, the vet shook his head and sadly said, "I'm sorry, your duck, Cuddles, has passed away." The distressed woman wailed, "Are you sure?" "Yes, I am sure. Your duck is dead," replied the vet.. "How can you be so sure?" she protested. "I mean you haven't done any testing on him or anything. He might just be in a coma or something." The vet rolled his eyes, turned around and left the room. He returned a few minutes later with a black Labrador Retriever. As the duck's owner looked on in amazement, the dog stood on his hind legs, put his front paws on the examination table and sniffed the duck from top to bottom. He then looked up at the vet with sad eyes and shook his head. The vet patted the dog on the head and took it out of the room. A few minutes later he returned with a cat. The cat jumped on the table and also delicately sniffed the bird from head to foot. The cat sat back on its haunches, shook its head, meowed softly and strolled out of the room. The vet looked at the woman and said, "I'm sorry, but as I said, this is most definitely, 100% certifiably, a dead duck." The vet turned to his computer terminal, hit a few keys and produced a bill, which he handed to the woman. The duck's owner, still in shock, took the bill. "£150!" she cried, "£150 just to tell me my duck is dead!" The vet shrugged, "I'm sorry. If you had just taken my word for it, the bill would have been £20, but with the Lab Report and the Cat Scan, it's now £150."
