    Actual arbdog. Does tree work and everything. IMG_2617.MOV IMG_2618.MOV
  2. The turbo on my van (2004 Renault Master) is pretty low and the pipe is always falling off anyway.
  3. I think the 225 is the one Matthew Storrs of this parish was pretty bloody disappointed with.
  4. I hired one of the overgrown micros with servos. 1.2? Thought it was a lovely size, strong enough and just generally a nice compromise.
  5. I've witnessed similar discourse. I'm an advocate for high revs to keep the exhaust pushing. What's the bow wave side of it?
  6. Agree garage toast. Disagree birch trees falling is odd. They're designed to go up quickly and come down quickly.
  7. I really really want to want a 400 on 20" 3/8 but the one time I had a go with one, I wasn't wowed. It was blunt and I'd just come off a rip-roaring 500i/661 session so the test was anything but fair but you can still sort of tell.

    Sailor not allowed on furniture so resting his weary head on my foot. The green thing on his collar is a GPS unit, Mick. When I remember I haven't seen him for a while, I follow the dot on the phone until I hear commotion, screaming etc. They're often still alive when I get there.
  9. A happier sight. Bang through the middle of the goalposts.
  10. 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.
  11. Here's one I just botched. Anyone else still drunk from christmas?

    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?

    The largest polluting thing in London is the government. If people did the amount of work they needed to to live, without having to pedal ten times as hard to stay ahead of inflation and taxation, there'd be far less traffic. The Adam Smith Institute put the cost of government day in August this year. Two thirds of effort paying for governemt, one third for yourself. That's a national average. I bet it's far worse in London.
  18. Share method and findings please. Been on my list to have a go at for ages.
  19. Contact your local arborists and ask which one they’d like or whether they’d prefer their money back instead.
