Eh?! Trespass to land no longer a tort?

It doesn't matter what came first. At law, encroachment is negligence if it causes foreseeable damage.

Is it usually litigated as negligence rather than nuisance or trespass when there is damage?

No, you can't cut down the tree on adjacent land. Not lawfully in any circumstances unless with the owner's permission.

Never say never. There will be some necessity type defences if you're saving a black man from being lynched or something. Less so with woolly worries of wrongs/torts. 

You must have tied into some absolute nothingness on your various tip expeditions. Ever bundled regrowth together?

What do you mean by a flat anchor? 

Foot fixed and back on top.

I think planners shouldn't exist. The expanded hot-take coming later. 

Not saying it would fix homelessness. I suspect that's more complicated.

Those councils are the ones strangling the supply of housing by enforcing planning laws. And their progenitors, central government and central banking are the institutions that turned property primarily into investments rather than places to live. By inflating people's money away, people buy (already artificially scarce) property to store wealth, increasing demand, keeping it from poorer people, philanthropists etc. So no bleating about councils/government not helping. It's their fault. All they need to do to help is f off. 

Ban it, murderer.

Being a smelly hippy, I'm completely opposed to the use of any kind of poison unless it benefits me directly, so naturally I have no problem with blasting the children with whatever is recommended at the chemist to remove the occasional population of lice they bring home from school.

Speculating that the removal of the hollow and a  mertre of stem below it will leave a clean single wound that thas a better chance of occluding.

 

It's two foot diameter poplar. 

If you want to encourage nature, scatter fridges etc about the place. That's durable housing.

Let's be real though. This is hippy bollocks, probably that I'm paying for. @[email protected], Private or government school?

The consultant has specified what is to be done. No need to know why.

Wedge it into a coppice stool at waist height and send the bill then. 

He's got more written after his name than in the spec. I don't think a bit of clarification is too much to ask for.

Sorry. Don't know what you're talking about. Who are you?

Paul wins. That's a good idea. 

Stubby's in Sussex. He can use his bus pass. Save a few quid. 

A mate used to work as a tramp wrangler, specifically ex-forces tramps for a while. He said most of them were uncivilisible sociopaths. I forget whether my favourite client of his was forces or not but he had a hell of a job finding accommodation for him. He liked to burn houses down, specifically houses he was given to live in. Had to declare he was a serial arsonist on various housing forms and funnily enough not a lot of people wanted to let to him. 

After a few months in the job, my mate came to the conclusion that the best thing all round was just shoot them. 

Tell the bullet where to go. Usually. I think some relatively uncommon scopes are the other way round. Not Pecars but something about that rare. 

And if you find zeroing day scopes tricky, try the digital night vision or thermals with the ballistics built in. 

Kebab/gyros/skewer it with something moist?

Give it to the dogs and eat something better or at least fattier.

you must be bored

Are you going to the Arb Association show at Westonbirt Arboretum this weekend? 

There's saying, "Take us to court then!" and there's getting a form N1 through the door. The latter does concentrate the mind.
