    Tenth of an acre, productively engaged. Smashing job. I know of chickens in much smaller bits.

    Not enough context on photos to say confidently but I bet they'll stand safely for at least five years, probably 8-10. Let the microbes do just enough and it'll be less stuff to get rid of when they do have to come down.

    Still one of the best opening lines out there.

    Not often I poach eggs and even less often I get it right. Should have been bold and used the bigger ones. Asparagus from the Suffolk asparagus mountain I’m presiding over. One of mum‘s historically more successful crops. And since we’re now flexing on vegetable production, how big’s your garden, sime42, you villain, you scum you vermin? Can’t answer? Pathetic. Probably don’t have a garden. Fantasist. You’d have been laughed out of my army cadets with that kind of shithousery.

    Yeah. I take back what I said about the oil volume. Its not excessive. It’s right. Other things have too little. Things should work easily, not marginally. He says using everything he has at 150%, 95% of the time…

    Sailor a decent alarm clock atm, derivative to the alarm clocks of the dog walkers going past the house. A lot of newcomers to the village in a new estate over the road. I feel a bit bad him harassing them at the fence but it’s better he conveys a firm (if slightly annoying) message than someone tries to burgle the place.

    Did my Opico Skidster the other day. Filter in there was Donaldson P169797. Cleaned with kero and air and put it back in since the one the shop sold me (apparently same as the Donaldson doobin gave me the number for a few posts up) was an inch shorter. Diameter looked OK. So maybe Sherpas use a 2" filter and Skidsters use a 3" (both approximate). Mental amount of oil in there. It was five or six brimmed catch cans, either 4 or 5 litres each. Very pleased to find clean fluid, not even as dark as a rum and coke. No shit or steel in it and I've used it hard. New fluid is basically invisible on the dipstick. Bit of colour would help.

    Cool. Leave them for a bit. See how they do. Turns out I'm not a cunnt, Mick.

    A Loncin is only £370 + VAT! I am constantly in awe of how things that can do so much work can be made so cheaply. Imagine giving one to a medieval grain miller. He could do a year's work in an afternoon.

    Go on. Post the videos (of course there are videos) to really take your licks. It'll be good for the superego.

    I'm not sure who was being misleading through ignorance or mischief but it wasn't me. I didn't give a botanical answer because I know that I don't know enough to give one. I did do exactly as I'd do standing in the garden, try to serve their interests. If they can do without that bit of garden, just leave it for six months and look again. If their daughter's getting married here in three weeks, I'll cut them down tomorrow, sir. If he wants strictly botanical advice, it won't cost him anything to forget what I said.

    Value is subjective. They might be goths. They might be blind. They might need them to block a view for a particular period of time. They might need the shade. They might need the shadow hitting the kitchen window to remind them to feed the cats. Hence my (I think) fairly open minded approach.

    Get Mike to give you a hand.

    Interesting. Was under the impression they were indestructible. Maybe Briggs need a bit of sympathy after all… I bet you could flatten the head yourself with a sheet of glass and sheets of sandpaper if it was warped. Fairly cheap experiment. What do you think’s causing it? Does it sit at a funny angle while running?
  15. AHPP
    Not a clue. Never seen one burned like that. The good thing about my suggestion though is that you don’t need to know anything about trees.

    On that sort of heritage, calm down, Branston. I want a sandwich shorter than it is square.
  17. AHPP
    Please do. There's nothing more annoying than people asking a question then disappearing with no thanks or conclusion.
  18. AHPP
    Work it, baby.

    He actually said 'On my neighbour's side of the centre-line of the ditch.' The boundary could be his top edge, the centre-line, the neighbour's top edge or somewhere else. But yeah. He's got what he needs to work it out probably. But yes, our message aligns, @daltontrees. Responsibility generally goes with ownership. If the boundary isn't straightforward, your next port of call, @Pidgeonpost might be some kind of property/surveying forum. Hope this all answers your question?

    I like them. Better sound quality and there's an amount of etiquette that goes with them. Plus fashion. People hang on to things like five digit landline numbers to quietly flaunt their establishment.
  21. AHPP
    It's his responsibility if it's his tree. The boundary could be along the middle of the ditch or it could be somewhere else. It could be defined in deeds/land registry entries. It could be vague. It could be that you have to work it out with reference to things like the hedge and ditch rule. Is the tree part of more vegetation there, now or previously? It's a big ditch. I assume machine dug, relatively recently, or at least enlarged recently? What country are you in?

    Eucs go as far as relying on it. There was a heartbreaking thread on here a few years ago, that I think of often. A member had built a lovely house in a little parcel of a euc forest in Portugal. So the story goes, the owner of the rest of the forest torched it for the timber regeneration, torching this poor bloke's home with it. FOUND IT: https://arbtalk.co.uk/forums/topic/107574-timber-frame-house/

    Ask yourself how quickly you need an answer. We can guess and maybe you'll get it cut down, which costs you. Or leave it for a year or two if that doesn't inconvenience you greatly. If it survives, it'll be free. If it does need doing then, it won't be any bigger and you can have been putting a tenner a week away to pay for it.

    Mum and dad have just lost the faithful old wire phone. Same handset for forty years. You could hear the little dits as you dialled it. I'm sat looking at the empty rawlplugs, like the height marks on a doorframe of a lost child. Replaced with some ting tong Fisher Price bullshit on a base station that plays music. That'll last a year or two before the battery goes.
