That's fabulous.

I should have taken more from your question than I did because several people now have tried breaking it like an air rifle, one strongly enough to take it off the face more than it already was.
-
That's half a job. There's an implication that if you're being paid to make something run, you're also being paid to make it stop. Otherwise it's like buying a ladder you can climb up but not down.

Man, I love potatoes.

Snap. Ish.

Back on pottering, I've been trying to shoot some groups for about a fortnight now. Set the entire day aside for it and it's now windy and trying to rain. That isn't pottering either is it. I'll open the garage and see what happens. I did pick some things off the floor upstairs earlier actually.
-
That's the sort of thing I'll have appraised.

I remember when I looked at Jo Beaus that the 250 was the goldilocks machine. Can't remember why.

Tell me more. That sounds very interesting.

Devon. I know a forester who needs a hug.

Wasps. Appropriate action. Build a shrine to them. Praise them. Feed them jam on sacrificial children. They’re as important as bees, they’re amazing pollinators… If they’re so good, give me your address and I’ll post you some. Kill the bastards. My phone typed kill the gays when I tried to write that. Kill the gays afterwards.

About your fifth post.
-
Whatever the government says, do the opposite. I thought you weren’t bothering with us retards on here btw?
-
**************** off, you cretin. I am ****************ing sick of every thread on here being tainted by your crass sex drivel.

Sustainable English hardwood charcoal you mean. Have your marketing department keep up.
-
Aware breaking ground possibly different... There’s a reason I don’t do this sort of thing. I simply wouldn’t bother. Too much effort for one tree (however nice). Build a school instead. Raise the next generation of kids to invent tree building nanobots or time travel.
-
I do defer to you on the jobsworth costs etc but you are going to have to tell me how it takes 2/3 years to find and wrap a tree. Pruning and waiting doesn’t cost much money unless you’re guarding it in between. Tell us about the oaks. Sounds interesting. I assume the embassy job? Please refrain from giving exact costings where I, the British taxvictim have footed the bill.
-
You’re most right on the allowance for failure though. Moving a tree that dies is still going to be six figures. Have three stabs at it and that’s a lot. No idea what insurance would look like on it. Suspect not especially comforting.

There are good tracks off the back and a lot of stone. Someone got a crane up there after it was felled. Part of my maths was using a digger to bury the worst of the clipboards. And plant it thirty feet back from the original to save stump grinding and having to work right on the wall. So do it with diggers. Even if it had to be hand dug, you could swarm the place with volunteers. Remember the wailing when it was felled? They can all do an hour of digging. I’m aware I’m now being more practical than realistic regarding red tape but your 2/3 years to find and uplift is similarly mad. What on earth would take that long? It’s a sycamore. You could probably get one within twenty miles with a shoutout on the news. Crack teams of arborists, architects and aestheticians don’t need to roam the countryside like Mason and Dixon, in search of the perfect plant. Local farmers could WhatsApp pictures of whatever they wanted to sell, probably including sycamore trees.

You get that kind of welcome in the civilised parts of the union in my experience.
-
Show your workings!? Four twenty tonne diggers for a day to dig one up, wrap it and put it on a low loader. The drive (with a bloke with a bowser in a van to water it like Free Willy). Another couple of days of twenty tonners to crawl it up the hill. About a week for for some pontificating historian to supervise. Bloke on a quad for fifty days running mulch and water up. Incidentals. Not as cheap as not bothering but not £750,000.

And one for yourself, barman.

I’m selling a brand new Sig rangefinder if anyone’s interested btw. Kilo 3k. RRP £475. Price from me £375.

Still loving the irons. Opened up the aperture (to 3mm, want to go bigger) with a rat tail file in a drill (rotate anti clockwise btw; it screws in if you go clockwise). Morning routine is ring the postcard sized steel 53m from the french windows before going out for a piss. A mate dropped in a 2x pistol scope. I’ll dovetail the barrel for it when I shorten it. Nice to shoot with but ruins the carry. Will keep as a quick attach for watermelons, heads of state etc. Irons for normal use.

And filled it in this afternoon. RIP the big dribbling ginger boy.
