  1. Started as an apprentice gardener in 1985; saw an opening in the Tree Team in 92 and am still there today. Love it ! :wave: .
  2. So it is true . One does start to shrink; when one gets to ones latter years :wave: Killer wheels MB, btw .
  3. Went and met the leader of my local council last night. He's on the board of Guvenors of the local Grammer, and he consultes for an unnamed banking organisation. WTF Who is this elected member representing? Came across like a nice fella for a politician though.
  4. Yous a naughtie boy TWM, that ones so provocative that I wouldn't even begin to formulate a public opinion upon it. Particularly the pro Israeli rhetoric toward the end. I'm intrigued to see who responds.
  5. Is it just something thats specifically perculiar to my locality; or is there just an incredible ammount of Laetiporus around this year. No kidding, this latest lot is one of at least 15 or so brackets I've noticed on at least 6/7 different Tree species within the last month or so.
  6. Im up in that area soon, so shall be keeping em peeled . Like the late great Shaw Taylor
  7. Very interesting Tony can anyone expand on why pfeifferi is known as the Beeswax Bracket? Hoping the answer is not going to be too boring and obvious. .
  8. Climb high little fledgling, Climb high. Glad your sharing your enthusiasm with us. Keep it up .
  9. Das ist eine Ganoderma lucidum; ja/nein ? Has someone sprinkled cypress cuttings on there to fool us? :wave: .
  10. I'm all for pushing whatever boundary rocks your world, but that guy dangling made me go all green around me gills. .
  11. Great Shots OM. Like your style my man. The third one above is a Classic :wave: How do you find that eye protection? Do they steam up? Are they on elastic? I guess your wearing plugs, how do you find them as opposed to muffs? Cheers David .
  12. Can't remember if you have ever said whether or not you had created any in the past, John. If not, maybe you could have created one on a smaller stem (5 min job) and then talked the client in to the aesthetical differences between the two types of finish. And then speced for the rest at a later date, adding them to a portfolio for future clients to see. Could have been a loss leader. Even if this client didn't like what you could have created, you could have always re-flushed the coronet. No real loss of time or effort. :wave: .
  13. Monsieur Charrier sure has one hell of a fertile imagination, but he can sure pen a good tale. Enjoyed Banco immensly :icon14:
  14. I have to say it, were Coronets not discussed or thought of ? Ideal situation IMO. You're probably about to post the coro pics next aren't ya John :wave:
  15. Yawn Yawn, more coros. When will the senseless vandalism cease. Some of my colleagues are starting to compare my obssession/madness with the infamous...................... Colonel Walter E. Kurtz
  16. Are they for the nasty in the last photo; or me new Avatar picky? :wave:
  17. They're Back Well, they weren't exactly going away now were they. There were clouds of the little bleeders all over today. Third pic is the little bu@@ers at it. The last shot I have no idea what it is; looks like the Leaf Minor on Steroids :scared:
  18. Good shots J. Always liked that split Hornbeam pollard in the second picture. There must be a well worn depression on the ground where you have taken that shot, as thousands of people have probably done the same. :wave:
  19. Lmbo :wave: You can almost feel the furious anger that eminates through the vdu when Mr Huck reads the M word. I reckon the ambient temperature of the North West must rise a few degrees. :wave:
