I understand the turn of phrase but I find it highly unamusing that I have to share a planet with these retards. Needless shipping, needless economic activity, needless tax raising. That space on the boat from Latvia could have brought electric wheelchairs or shoes. Branchwood logger for overstood hazel would be mint. Big toploading appliance. Lovely.

Here's one I just botched. Anyone else still drunk from christmas?

Natural Burial - Your help with a survey.

I suspect the drugs and/or tools and/or techniques have come on. Mine were ten ish years ago and not nearly as traumatic as the older generation present are making out.

You never know, it could have been the same bloke. Mr Ackerman from memory. His nurse is his wife and his wife is his nurse. Freelances all over. Goes to my practice once a month and does ten in a day. Was in Portsmouth the day before. Said he gets flown out to the middle east to do some sultan or another's surgeries.

The experience in the chair was painless and hilarious. Good numbing gear and a confidence inspiring saffer with hands the size of wicket keeping gloves. Nice as pie, bedside manner, are you going anywhere nice on your holidays etc. Drugs took effect. "Nurse. Bone pliers." He really pulled. Didn't quite have his knee on my head but probably close. All fine for a few hours after but later that evening I started getting hints as to the nature of my predicament. ie It was going to feel like I'd been kicked in the head. Very similar to the fallen-down-a-flight-of-stairs feeling that you don't get immediately but you know is coming after you fall off a motorbike. I never take painkillers. Glad of them in this instance.

Filling, probably fine. I had a pair of wisdom teeth out and thought I would do ten hours of felling the next day. That was not fine.

Sailor delighting my mother over christmas. He's very like her dog that died a couple of years ago. I'm presently engaged in a battle of wills with him about dinner. I've got seven pheasants and six partridges in the garage and one pheasant in the fridge. Complete refusal on the pheasant. Had the same a few weeks ago and got it by him by cutting some legs up small and mixing it with dry. I'm not playing those stupid games with him forever though. I cut this crown into ten and he still wasn't interested. Perhaps it needs a supermarket label, the modernist poofter. Current thinking is keep putting it down for him and see how how he feels about it by Wednesday. Unless anyone has any cleverer suggestions?

Share method and findings please. Been on my list to have a go at for ages.

Go line dancing.

I was in a hurry. Big feng shui job on here.

Contact your local arborists and ask which one they’d like or whether they’d prefer their money back instead.
-
No it isn’t. 2:11 onwards

What doobin said. It’s forestry contractors for a load of commercially bought firewood roundwood, probably 3m lengths. 26 tonnes is a normal load. Or ask for oddments like he says. If you’re happy to put more work in, there will be one (very slim chance of two) arb contractor in your area doing the sorts of site clearance that means they have a tractor and trailer to run wood away. It’ll be all sorts of sizes and messy and bent but cheaper, possibly free. You absolutely cannot be a fanny if taking a tip from such an outfit. Being disorganised, time-picky or giving them a difficult place to tip, you won’t see them again, if the first time.

I’m very pro Barnoldswick. That’s where Hope hubs are from.

Quite.

I’ve had a bolt come out of a Petzl harness ring. Lyon sent me a whole new ring so that’s on the harness. Pretty sure I glued the threads. The old ring with an old rusty bolt that fitted became part of the dog rigging. Then it fell off that too. I’d have thought the rust would have held it in but there you go. Quick release things that are slightly too quick to release are a faint but present hallmark of Petzl. I’ll keep asking. Has the Eject killed or paralysed anyone yet?

Aye. We’re exactly what we look like, middle class kids shouting about various injustices. We did a Rage cover the other night and we’ve got one that sounds so much like Rage, people have to stop and think whether it is or not. The rest of it is garden variety rock/metal/hardcore. IMG_2522.MOV I’d love to do an NWA song but there’s a nice boy from Suffolk trying to look like Zach de la Rocha and then there’s a nice boy from Suffolk trying to look like Ice Cube…

Bob Dylan. There’s another one who writes better than he performs.

Exactly the same for me. Goes nicely over a montage. Nirvana did The Man Who Sold the World better I think.

Don’t just complain about it. Rap about it. My band’s second gig, this week.

Likewise. Bowie for me.

Aye. Good on ya. I pull over to stopped cars. I know what you mean about the jumper to save manoeuvring. I once had to do a U turn on the A1 to get bonnet to bonnet.

I use a coffee grinder for black pepper. Lovely big granules.
