Best hit he's ever had! (stolen from youtube comments)

I've got some, when can you collect?

Should the hospitals hand out clothes? I feel sorry for this guy, but would just be glad to have made it out the crash alive Raigmore Hospital in Inverness discharged patient in boxer shorts WWW.PRESSANDJOURNAL.CO.UK Anthony Burns was given a towel and a hospital gown and told to leave Raigmore. I like the picture and caption, yes I think it will be written off

Some people will do anything to get a book deal

This feels like the sort of question you'd get on the old Blind Date! I would be Sitka Spruce. Not very popular, but quietly practical.

Interesting chart, but 4 months to season cherry, 12-24 months to season sycamore, seems like 2 extremes

Sorry, is this any better? Excluding the railway and the loch, surrounded on all sides by thousands of acres of forest and woodland. Big for a silver birch, and stuck in a really awkward spot at the bottom of a slope

It's levelled out a bit now, new quotes aren't as cheap, renewals aren't as pricey. The rules changed last year. Important rule changes to the pricing of home and motor insurance – what it could mean for you | ABI WWW.ABI.ORG.UK From 1 January 2022, new pricing rules introduced by the industry’s regulator, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), will come into force.

There's a guy on youtube who makes "horticultural charcoal" out of branch loggings

Have you been? You wouldn't want to, unless you have an interest in kings and queens. The place is beautiful, but heaving. It's like disneyland at times. Mind you, the same could be said for Aviemore, and it's not got the royals! I'm off back to my cave.

I don't know if they still hand them out, but it's a bit like when you see one of these stickers on the door It's their way of saying next door is a c*nt

Someone lives in there, he's fed up of being burgled

Electrical Industrilisation of the North and East of Scotland

I was working for a couple recently, they live in a lovely wee crofters cottage, surrounded by fields and beautiful countryside. The proposal is to build a 50 (!!) acre sub station next door -
Electrical Industrilisation of the North and East of Scotland
scbk replied to htb's topic in General chat
To me it would make more sense to try and use more of the electricity up here than spends £millions/billions to send it down south, and keep burning fossil fuels here. Turn it in to hydrogen, electrify the railways, install vehicle chargers, rip out oil boilers in favour of heat pumps, etc etc The English v Scottish ; Highlands v Lowlands ; North v South thing, the comparison might be if you lived in the Cotswolds and they were proposing destroying your local beauty to build a powerline to export electricity to France. -
Looks like this but ideally with all the logs still on the back

I think it was 4 years from bare ground to in the log shed for this hybrid willow Chickens for scale!! Yes I've put better stuff through a chipper but hey.....
-
Defiantly plant trees, but 2 acres isn't a huge amount of ground to supply a log boiler. Might be better using some of the space to make access and stacking space for artic timber wagons (if you don't have already), buy in a load, then hire a processor for a couple of days. And build a big log shed!

Busmans holiday to the west coast for the day. Adjacent to the picadilly circus/wacky races that is the nc500

I've nothing against them, but I'm not the slightest bit interested in the monarchy. Cannae beat a coronation chicken sandwich though

Did she run off with the accountant?!

That stuff will be dry enough to burn tomorrow, never mind the winter after next!!

Use the £130 to buy everyone beer!! Worth thinking about what machinery you can use to shift the timber and brash, to save on manual handling.

Only advantage I can see of a loop handle would be using it on it's side doing edging. On petrol machine loop handle have more vibrations.

My own experience so far is battery tools are a safer bet than autotune

Years ago I had an old wooden trailer I wanted to sell. So I filled it with firewood and put it on gumtree as "trailer load of firewood for sale, and you can keep the trailer", it went in no time!!
