  1. Video unavailable The uploader has not made this video available in your country But I bet it's the French general in Sharpe.
  2. That’s 35 roods, Stubby.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Try again, less like you’re trying to start a fight in a pub.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.

    WOW

    Put on a pinny and lay up a lasagne, Pete. This tiger's coming to tea.
  10. Doesn’t have to be a constant width. Broader term for curved faces of any radius.
  11. What’s the name for a polygon or polyhedron with curved sides/surfaces (like a Reuleaux triangle)?
  12. Just did six hours on a telehandler with a blowtorch hung on the coat hook. Whenever I went over a bump, it went doinggg against the window exactly like the little marimba interlude after verse one.
  13. First bloody day I had my newer pair of Airstreams, I stood on the left one with my right spike. I was also the first entry in the DT lab’s accident book in about 1998 for sanding my own thumb. Teacher thought it was hilarious.
  14. Where's that video of the blower training course. I need to refresh my driving in spikes ticket.
  15. My most regular one licks me, occasionally stands on my lap.
  16. I always use a helmet strap and sometimes use a seatbelt.
  17. Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?

    Chickens?

    Mum number two on the job. Six fertile eggs under her. Start the clock. 21 days. 1st August.
  19. The best thing to happen in tree rigging since Rich Rule.
  20. Also have something with Gareth’s IQ stuck in the door frame.
  21. Snap. Freshly labelled to help me sleep even more soundly.

    What a year!

    Whether you wanted sympathy or not, you have mine.
  23. Step back from the machine so that we might hear you gurgle with pleasure. I'm having a good day too. I've just received a VAT refund and will soon be giving it to a very affable local machinist for a pink prototype. And a mate just gave me a Stihl combi can he's had unused in the shed forever. And a client paid on time without being reminded. A short but welcome series of fcking results. Here's to us, Mick! Now if the weather could just calm down, I can go and strim the allotment. With a strimmer.
  24. Three pints of coffee, four snickers bars and perusing digger catalogues with my feet up. I didn't choose self employment so I can be out melting in this heat. NB I didn't choose self employment at all really. I'm just fairly unemployable.
