  1. Maybe this should be posted in the overloaded thread
  2. Well it's summer solstice! I was giving the courgettes a badly needed weeding, found the first courgette of the year, so that went straight in the frying pan!
  3. When I was a teenager I worked in a trade counter place. Someone paid with a really old £5 note. I'm sure another member of staff said something about not legal tender blah blah. I put a fiver from my own pocket in the till and took the old note home, sold it on ebay for a tenner!!
  4. You haven't said your location, your need to watch Beechgrove not Gardeners World! "Everyone's got their own skillset" is what I always say. I like to think I'm ok at growing plants (short on time though) I'm defiantly very good at eating food Not so good at the stage in the middle (cooking), I often end up giving a lot of produce away My mother's good, she brings the produce back to me as jam/cake etc!!

    Overloaded

    Found this online, decent load like!! Durham Constabulary: It may sound obvious, but if your trailer looks like this, you shouldn’t be driving it. On Saturday, we received several calls reporting that a trailer had collided with a parked car in the Blackhall area causing damage to the vehicle. On arrival, officers from Durham Roads & Armed Policing were greeted with this – a trailer that was massively overladen with rusted, scrap metal. The metal was not securely fastened in the trailer and there was no metal cage surrounding the load to stop it from falling off the trailer. It not only caused damage to multiple vehicles that it had passed on its journey; the driver had no licence, no insurance, and failed a roadside drug wipe. A 46-year-old man was arrested in connection with the incident and taken to police custody. He has since been released under investigation while further enquiries are carried out. ❌ The vehicle was also seized by officers under Op Takeaway.
  6. By 11am Thursday the chamber pot will be full to the brim
  7. Wow, that must be a good few artic lorry loads of plastic crap, and none of the "local residents" know what the story is
  8. What part of the world are you in trailoftears? Up here in the Highlands we have all modern conveniences - the local quarries sell washed stone!
  9. Never used the stihl but the husky telescopic long reach is great, you can reach a fair bit with it Husqvarna 520iHT4 Cordless Pole Hedge Trimmer WWW.SAM-TURNER.CO.UK Husqvarna Cordless Pole Hedge Trimmers available from Sam Turner & Sons | Husqvarna 520iHT4 Cordless Pole Hedge Trimmer
  10. Does the 12ft ladder work for onlyfans? Asking for a friend, like.
  11. It's funny, obviously not going to post any locations, but this is already on google earth! Seems their plane flew over taking aerial photos as I was halfway through laying the bark
  12. There's advantages and disadvantages to both, horses for courses blah blah blah........ For me the cut off point is currently around 45cc. Below that better off with battery. Less cancer from 2 stoke fumes means I can eat more bacon and drink more beer
  13. "I kissed a girl, and I liked it" Georgia Bilham: Woman who posed as man convicted of assault over kiss WWW.BBC.CO.UK Georgia Bilham denied deceiving a young woman by posing as a man from Birmingham.

    Settled

    Sorry to say it, Skye has been ruined by over-tourism. Bring back the Skye Bridge toll !!!! It's not even just airbnb, there's probably thousands of people that visit the island every day who don't stay the night, on day tours from Glasgow/Edinburgh/Inverness. Almost every American tourist I chat to on the mainland is visiting the Isle of Skye as part of the trip. Scotland has over 790 offhsore islands, 93 of them are inhabited. Yet everyone heads for the 1 island.
  15. No wonder it's so many emails if everyone else got two aswell!!
  16. Just finished today, in the end went with some old 150mm boards that were spare from last year, just on the lower edge to hold the bark back. 12m3 of nursery grade bark, laid with muck truck The area to begin with was a gentle slope, with overgrown remains of an old midden/bonfire, lots of broken glass pulled out the ground. First bit of rain this evening in well over a month!
  17. Can you not work weekends doing the felling? Probably make more money at that than firewood 🤐
  18. A friend was telling me about an old fisherman bloke; Out on the boat, when he could see the lads where getting weary and fed up, he would give them a bar of chocolate to perk them up and get the job done. Another friend (who has a few tales....) said when he was in charge of a parcels warehouse he would take in a load of weed and speed for the lads every friday, gets the shift done in no time!
  19. They say "good fences make good neighbours" Your fence is shit, it has a sycamore growing through it. And your neighbour is shit. Not that it's any help I assume if you cut the tree down completely on both sides, repair the fence, then your neighbour will magically become fantastic. Best do it while he's on holiday though.

    Jokes???

    Dinosaur hunters have just discovered a new species in Phillip Schofields back garden. They've called it 'Ivasaurus'.
  21. I do it with mine, cut trees and gorse well beyond what the mulching blade is really meant for, I prefer the 3 prong mulchers
  22. Yes ral 2004 "Bright Orange", you can get it on ebay, local paint shop etc
  23. Each to their own but I would pick a battery or 4 stroke machine for running a blade, less revvy more torquey or whatever
  24. That's the main thing to me, fook sharpening a chain that is double the length you actually need!
