Government workers will tick whichever box generates them more busywork and job security. "He's just naughty. Go away and give him the belt more often." generates little future work. "He's got a list of eponymous psychiatric conditions as long as my arm. You'll need these pills and four consultations a year." yields a long career of writing and talking about badly behaved but not especially mental children.

A lot of Munchausen by proxy goes unnoticed.

Yeah, this. Except you get a motability car now instead of being lobotomised.

Steve and Mick, They get more dole if they're autistic. That's why more people get paperwork saying they're autistic.

Machine sorted. Just need a man now. Groundsman or climber. Please get in touch. -
You can do one day if you don't fancy all weekend.

Tracked chipper and groundsman/climber needed - Southampton - weekend of 10th and 11th February I need a tracked chipper and a someone to feed it (and do the usual cutting up, rigging etc). Or you can be the climber and I'll cut, rig and chip. Medium size domestic garden. Some removals, some (pragmatic) pruning. There'll be a well-specified MEWP there. Can hire chipper from one person and have a different worker or you can come with your chipper. Accommodation available. Please private message me with your experience (grounding/climbing), what you offer (chipper, saws, other kit etc) and your day rate. If you know someone not on this forum who can do it, please private message me their contact details.

And now I've found it, I can't remember what I wanted to post in it. It was interesting as well. Fkkk my brain. Have a consolation picture of the game larder, feat. skidder. I'm using red grease atm, which disguises the bloodstaining.

Is the saw behind the trailer a 362 or your 241? Come to think of it, what's your saw arsenal, doobin? Milwaukee battery tophandle 241 ... ... 881

Aye. Nothing about those photos says overgunned does it.

I meant "antis" but I can't stand the term. Thought I'd reach for an entirely different slur to keep the site moving.

Are you human?

The eco/carbon arguments for and against wood burning are as crass as each other. Nobody has a bloody clue. Each side peddles propaganda. Worse than shooters and homosexuals.

I had to slalom past a long line of Audi Q7s in a fairly well-to-do Essex village this morning. Was about to get annoyed with one of the offenders returning to her littledarling-wagon but she was dressed quite agreeably. Let her off with a warning.

I e-mailed Beth Gibbons the other week to tell her the world would forgive them for their third album if they came back and did another like the first two.

I was freelance climbing some (recently discussed on here as it happens) poplars a few years ago. They were big, spready and mostly weighted over a pretty major trainline. I'd set up my Hobbs on a cherry tree in the garden with a pulley a foot above it and was using that as a winch to pull tops into the garden. I'd shown five of them how to use it. "In the top peg, wrap the drum, out the bottom peg." I was ready to cut and telling them to crank. Four of them monstering the bar round, very little effect on the line tension. Eventually there was just enough so I made the cut. Came down. Inspected device. Top peg bent into the drum. My mind boggled. Tried to ascertain who'd wrapped it, how they'd wrapped it etc. They were suddenly all very interested in other things about the site. Eventually worked out that they'd put three turns on the top peg and then wrapped the drum. Shook my head, applied a spanner to it and finished the job watching them like a hawk.

There's still a gap in the market for my airship idea.

How far would you say you were walking a day? Keep an eye on your fitbit this morning and approximate.
-
Interesting sounding career. What did you do?
-
All the UK's a garden and all the men and women merely mincers.

I freelance climbed some poplars (spready, not lombardy) next to busy train tracks. Was meant to be removals. Turned into twiglets. Told the guy I was working for that twiglets was moronic, they'd grow back and bits would forever be falling off over the boundary and his client would be letting himself in for massive headaches with the railway people in future. Would have liked to convince his client of my logic but it's not for me to usurp my paymaster. Did them as low as possible for a fighting chance that they might be maintained from a ladder by a plucky gardener. Got paid, made a note in my phone to politely refuse future engagement and set the sat nav for home.

Fair enough. Want to argue about anything else? I like black people and want them to marry our daughters.

Video yourself and then watch back with a pair of chess clocks. Measure cutting time vs everything else time. And they're no faster in the cut on normal size stuff. Possibly a tiny bit on three foot oak butts but that time's lost straight back to dealing with 404 when you only had to deal with 3/8 before. If you like it, great but for some reason we're now arguing over what's better and I think it's a 661. UNLESS one wants a ≥48" bar.
