That's enough wine for the rest of the year nearly!

The sum total of my chicken knowledge is in this thread.

External stimulus. My mate does. Get the fertile eggs from him. Hoping one of the chicks is male. Borne from an outside egg. Won't be incest the first time round.

Six hens and the two chicks (genders unknown). Six eggs incubating. 50% success rate last time. Three this time would be excellent and take the flock to eleven, one more than I started with in December. Would make this my most successful business venture to date.

What's it to you, white man?

Two chicks still alive and growing.

Mine had a shoot or two, probably grazed by chickens. It’s been dry too. Will throw some wire on it.

Good point.

OK. That is actually fair. I'm still laughing though, you imp.

Go on. Go out on a helicopter job.

Oh Mick. You've made my day you cheeky cnt.

😂 Be a ****************ing expert then!

Beaten by the edit, Stubby.

No no. Don't start caring about the answer being right now. They're walletfillius spores as far as you're concerned. Like money fungus.

It's been said before, you are monstrously pikey. How many clients have you driven to a cashpoint this week?

Double white stripes underneath for douglas isn't it? Similarly shit on conifers. And just trees really but you did ask.

That’s 35 roods, Stubby.

Are you hard of comprehension? It doesn't matter what the tree officer says. It's your tree with a canopy over your land. Unless it does still spill into your neighbour's land. Which we don't know because you haven't posted a photo or a sketch map. We get bloody irritated giving free advice to people who can't be arsed to help the process along.

I miss Super Sexy. Used to have to turn the drum sideways so as not to look weird and lecherous to anyone in my driveway.

Try again, less like you’re trying to start a fight in a pub.

Push today to see off a job that’s been running on for a couple of weeks. I assure you I won’t be setting 06:00 alarms for anything else in a hurry.

Yes… Someone said this a couple of weeks ago. We rather have to take it on trust or there’s no point this bit of forum being here. You’re quite right about the photos. Lily. Post photos (tree, survey etc) and I’ll tell you if my answer stays the same.

It’s less a TPO issue, more a boundary issue. Was the boundary survey commissioned by you, them or both of you jointly? Are they bound by the findings of it, like a contractual mediation or arbitration? I sense the time for niceness has passed and you may need to knock a firm line their way before they take this liberty and then no doubt a load more after. I’d suggest a letter delivered by hand (video putting it through door), by first class stamp (video posting it) and by recorded/signed delivery that includes the boundary, an instruction to not enter or touch your property and the police call centre (101) reference (something like ‘Gloucestershire constabulary call log number 123 of 16th July 2025’). The 101 call should go along the lines of explain the background, say that you think your neighbour is likely to commit various criminal offences when they come pruning, get an email address to furnish them with documents (boundary survey, TPO application) and get the log number. A sign on the tree visible from their side saying RECENT BOUNDARY DISPUTE will make most tree surgeons walk away if they’re not going to prune it themselves. Assuming their balls shrink and they don’t do anything, follow the letter up in three months: “I note you got back in your box. Stay there. You’re still on my radar and won’t drop off it until you’re dead. Love Lily xx” Good luck. Keep us apprised.
