  1. Socrates and Galileo were told that by tellers.
  2. What makes the tellers worthy of telling?
  3. No. It's someone wanting to tell someone else what they can and can't do.
  4. Ask yourself if you're happy with yourself, using the might of the state to tell someone what they can or can't do with their own property. Ask yourself whether you'd be happy if tomorrow morning your new neighbour was rushing to the council for an emergency order to prevent you mowing your grass or washing your windows.
  5. It's at least not the absolute butcher's option of just screwing it. Should still work. Will actually spring for a plug in due course. I buy new scabbards and everything.
  6. Antivibe on a 230. Didn't even have a tec screw short enough. That one is ground short and inside a cutoff rawlplug inside a cutoff frame fixing. It's not even done that well. A bodge to the power of four.

  9. I have a bloke like that. Everything needs "crowning."
  10. That redwood was in the grounds of a fake boobs clinic. But alas, no procession of chesty onlookers. We did it on a Saturday so the crane could block the road that the Range Rover Evoques use.
  11. This was the meat of the job.
  12. Yep. It was only that one dead thing nestled into the back of a hazel stool that we did like that though (yes, we considered choking the hazel stools too). I'm fully on board with the flying slinger technique. Passes time-and-motion. Spiky solidarity on the monkey puzzle. "£1000 and I'm going to moan like a bitch all day." is my stock answer.
  13. This bloke was spot on (see also, lunge thread). He does a lot of trees so knows the script.
  14. I recently commissioned a pick riding pic just for you, Joe.
  15. Just leftover mash.
  16. Considering this instead of the right angle. https://www.makitauk.com/product/ddf486.html Same torque, smaller, lighter, cheaper. Any thoughts?
  17. Prevailing thought is to not use impacts on sailing winches. Having now been inside one a fair bit, I suspect it's something like not wanting a pawl to travel half way to the next ratchet click, fail to get there and then slam back into its seat with the load. A stalling drill will just stall once. Plus it just feels mechanically unsympathetic rattling cogs into each other.
  18. I just used up some utter shit I'd bought from a convenient Co-Op for a fortune. Needs musted at the time. Pictured here with some much more middle class stuff off the market I think.
  19. I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Gypsies chipping a branch with a pet cat on it. I watched a groundsman defecate in a shrubbery planter outside the main door of Euston Station.
  20. I thought I changed direction and saved it quite nicely with the little moonwalk. No pleasing some people.
  21. With free rear seats (private road use only).
  22. A couple of years ago I rode a massive branch out of a redwood, flexing slowly and deeply against an azure sky. Cameraman botched it. A moment lost in time, like tears in rain.
