The sunshine and bare skin is a giveaway too Is it a telephone pole it's growing around? Does the local telephone company have any interest in cutting the tree?

I once went to the Asian (Chinese) cash and carry in Glasgow, up the back was like going to the Sea Life Centre!! Rows and rows of tanks full of all the wonders of the ocean, swimming round, ready to be bagged up and taken away. Recently I had some French folks staying the night, I was showing them the menu from the local chippy and explaining the delights of a black pudding or haggis supper. They asked what it's made from, but had a horrified look on their faces when I told them Never even got as far as the deep fried pizza, or battered mars bars.

Horse meat, yes please, I love a good beef lasagne!

Sorry to say it but a lot of the log splitters for sale are pretty naff, they don't seem to be designed with any efficiency or ergonomics in mind. You will be able to modify any log splitter into single handed if you wish. I've even seen some that are foot operated, but that's probably taking it a bit too far!

Woodlands TV once did a video on Benders, Pimps, and Faggots. Or as I like to call it, the arbtalk member list.

Replying to my own post from a couple of years ago, just saw this was in court the other week. The guy went missing (killed) 6yrs ago Twins hit charity cyclist with truck then hid body in carcass pit, Glasgow court told | Scotland | The Guardian WWW.THEGUARDIAN.COM Disappearance of Tony Parsons in 2017 finally resolved after Alexander McKellar took girlfriend to burial site

Not all the forum members know this, but there's actually a private "members club" side of arbtalk, there's various forums, and they're all a lot busier than the main public part of the site. I think you need to pm @Steve Bullman for more info. They have a new members ballot/nominations twice a year on the summer and winter solstice. Except on a leap year. You do have to pay a fee to join, it's quite an investment and it's a bit of pain finding enough non-sequential banknotes and having to send them via a private courier service to a po box on an industrial estate in the midlands where they are transferred into the forum currency ArbCoin. Every third Thursday in the month (excluding February, June and November) there is an online pub quiz with prizes like cuddly toy, meet and great with Elton John, Timberwolf keyring, etc You can collect airmiles for every post you make, I've saved up enough for a single ticket between Westray and Papa Westray. Aswell as the forums itself, they have a discount scheme where you get 20% off new Husqvarna chainsaws, 15% off Stihl, and 10% off at Pizza Express (selected restaurants, Tuesdays and Wednesdays only). It's not actually a discount card, you just have to go in and give a specific handshake that leaves a small amount of elm sawdust in the staff members hand, and they'll know what the craic is. There's a couple of initiation rituals for the private members' section, at first they seem a bit sadistic but I have been informed by my doctor that my rectum should be 95% recovered by christmas. (he didn't say which christmas though?). And the goat gets to live out the rest of it's life on a sanctuary in Dorset. The tattoo doesn't look as bad as you think it would. Hope that helps, remember you need to pm @Steve Bullman with the subject title "jkhbsdfkjsfdhgfQA"

Yes for chatter try Mumsnet

Every day's a school day, I'd never heard of penis fish before https://www.news.com.au/lifestyle/real-life/news-life/thousands-of-penis-fish-wash-up-on-argentinian-beach/news-story/888b9394ea6f259bb8c9699b0fdc1190

First post in 4 and a half years, welcome back!

BBC news today: Plan for biggest Nessie search in more than 50 years WWW.BBC.CO.UK Volunteers have been sought for the effort which is to feature drones fitted with infrared cameras.

I did build a willow dome in the end, was running out of time, the willow was starting to grow in the water barrels. First dome I've done, it was a nice fun wee job to do. Complete with knee high curved escape tunnel. The main doorway faces south, so it's ideal on a sunny day, you can lie inside in the sunshine, or if it's too hot move to the sides and you're in the shade It's not had any weaving or trimming yet, so is looking a bit furry now!

Do you not have a use for the firewood yourselves? You could apply for felling licence, get all the work done now, and not really make any money off it. Or use it as a sustainable source of firewood, cutting a little every year, exempt from felling licence, and you can kinda do what you want with the place

Do you carry much weight on the rack? You could cut it off completely and add a small bar to the top of each door. Wouldn't be as strong as what is there now.

Yes I don't believe in any of this carbon neutral offseting mumbo jumbo. Apparently the guy mr Thornhill is an engineer, and he came up with and patented the T3 clean burning system that is on burley stoves

Here's something to keep the nay sayers happy, a nessie website with a page on big cats in the local area Pumas & other Big Cats WWW.LOCHNESSINVESTIGATION.COM

I seen the fire brigade using it once, turns out they were trying to douse the flames

Do you have permission from the landowner to collect the fallen trees? Might be worth looking at a 240v saw if it's just for use at home

Will be similar to all the other cheap chinese chainsaws you can get online 58cc 20" Petrol Chainsaw + 2 x Chains + More | ParkerBrand WWW.PARKERBRAND.CO.UK A high-powered 58cc 20” Petrol Chainsaw that is low on price and high on performance, our Parker chainsaw was designed to tackle more challenging jobs and thus features a proven air...

That doesn't always work, but changing the locks does

The cooking looks bang on to me, just how I like it. I would be more concerned about the lack of square sausage, the baked bean dish that seems to contain only bean juice, and the overall portion size would leave me hungry, just 1 tattie scone is tight. I would need 2 platefuls! Also they forgot the toast!

I've been doing some google research, these big cat species are very elusive and highly intelligent. I don't think it's beyond all possibilities that panthers/pumas living wild in the UK are actively avoiding being caught on camera. The most obvious way would be balaclavas so they're not recognised, or they could spray paint the lens. Or even dress up as another animal. Think about it, how many times do you see foxes/badgers/deer on trail cameras, but never big cats? They can easily buy these costumes on ebay. Yours sincerely, Terry Nutkins

It's only the end of July, the hybrid willow has put on a huge amount of growth this year. The existing ones that were coppiced for the first time have shoots up to 10ft long. The newly planted whips have shoots about 5ft long atleast. In about 4-5months of growing time zero weeding or mulching has taken place!

The dead standing elm round here is 2ft-4ft wide, if it's straight grained it splits ok, if it's knarly it's a bugger, burns well though

Well the cherry tomato harvest has begun this week, and I gotta say Sungold are absolutely delicious
