Don't get a 'pod' machine that limits coffee choice, or strength. Tried and tested... Leaving about £90 for http://www.whittard.co.uk/m/coffee/coffee-beans/blue_mountain_jamaican.htm, or http://www.campusgifts.co.uk/gifts-by-brand/edward-monkton/mugs.html & £80 worth of nice coffee; should keep him happy and alert, if a little twitchy, for months! edit: ?double picture?

Yep, and only a small tree! :eek:

they are peacocks, never heard heard them hiss! :eek: my dad heard it open and close its wings though. So do they hibernate?

Anyone know much about butterflies? Over the years I've found many live butterflies on the log pile, and my dad has just had one wake up by the warmth of the fire. I was always told they die each year, more to it I'm guessing.

I always went by the rule twice as long as the cord is thick. After being dressed and set/weighted of course. I think I was taught that on my course, but may have heard it elsewhere. Either way it seems reasonable...

Just heard Country Life by Show of Hands, Steve Knightly. Made me chuckle

Advice from insurance industry requsted please: It seems there is confusion from others and most certainly myself as to when it is necesasary to have employers liabilty, also public liabilty, insurance when using contractors, subcontractors or bona fide subcontractors. If say I was to contract someone to do work through my company using all their own tools, staff, etc, they are given a price to do a task, and they do it in their own way in their own time (this makes them bonfide subcontractors, correct?) do I require employers liabilty? Or do the insurance requirements for the work they are doing lie with them? Any explanation as to what is required of who and in what circumstances would be greatly recieved. Many thanks.

I'll be keeping. close eye on this thread. Very interesting. Rob, was yours just through curiosity or part of your course? I also seem to recall an interest in constriction of stems to control growth I think; how is this progressing?
-
hmmm, perhaps I can lock some threads ('usa shows' thread)?
-
yep up to date. I'm not certain, but I think I only get the option on threads I've already posted on...
-
when I try I am told I 'may not have permission to lock this thread' Also I only occasionally get the option.
-
I thought so too, very tempting to try locking threads, but it might not make me very popular!

2 strange goings on here, only noticed on tapatalk on android. 1. I notice a lot of posts are dated 01.01.1970 2. Several times in the last few hours when I press the menu button to reply to a thread, as well as my usual options, I have a 'moderate' button. I haven't tried it, but it gives me the option to lock the thread. ??

Really! Wow, that's quite hefty...

Managing Trees with Decay & Dysfunction

good work, thanks for sharing -
ooo, looks like that's been on the cards a while now! What's the fungi following the crack? Oyster? Velvet?
-
the pics could be deceiving, but they look too big to me...

How big where they, and are you near any of the confirmed ALB sites? Someone on here may know what they are, but I would be sending a specimen off for ID. [email protected] A good-quality digital photograph sent with an email notification is welcome as an aid to identification. '' Suspected sightings of this beetle must be reported to the Fera Plant Health Helpline on 0844 248 0071, providing information about the damage caused, tree species and location. Any specimens of the beetle found must be packed securely in a sturdy container. The beetles are not harmful to humans although they should be handled with care as they can nip the skin.''
