Blue Ford Ranger? Bought from a black man whose boyfriend recently decided tree work wasn't for him?
-
This just in. Two hatched. Other two eggs gone cold. Is a 50% success rate considered good? We think it is.
-
What are you looking at going to?
-
In the nicest possible way, why on earth not midline? If you’re going to do something new, it should do what existing things can do and then more, not less.

If you like Senser, you might like Vacant Stare.

On protesting too much: I’m Lynemouth’s angriest snorkeler and I make my own good luck. That’s why I joined the army, for all the dicks to suck. I kissed a boy in ‘91 behind the guardroom door. That didn’t make me gay because I think he liked it more. By ‘93 I’d shagged a corporal a in a basha tent. You learn to love the ones you’re with and I loved loads of men. I’m Lynemouth’s angriest snorkeler and I’d bum any man. God bless the forces because they made me the proper bloke I am.

An excerpt from The Ballad of Incandescent Dave, a forthcoming work: I’m Lynemouth’s angriest snorkeler and I’d like to report a crime. Steven P won’t describe his coal and I’ve asked a hundred times. He still won’t say what he does for work and it’s doing in my head. And that sime42’s just a spineless tool who couldn’t lie straight in bed. I’m Lynemouth’s angriest snorkeler and I want some ****************ing answers. You’re all bunch of no good coward blagging ****************ing chancers.

If you see any Amey vans or workers about, still let the air out of their lungs to be on the safe side.
-
Can’t you get Coronation Street over there?
-
Amey had a contract with Sheffield council. Amey could survey trees, specify work AND do the work. i.e. They had a blank cheque. Cut down loads of perfectly good trees. Locals furious. Big fuss. Then they moved onto Birmingham.
-
If you're in Brum and into trees, did/have you kept abreast of the Amey contract?
-
Is pump fuel detonation-safe in these things? Or do you street map them with retarded timing? Do they get the power from higher compression or from just blowing ****************tonnes through with big turbos?
-
A gunsmith in the states whose work I occasionally check in on (Chad Smith, LongRifles Inc.) also does some machine work on top fuel cars. Absolutely mental numbers. Thirty-man teams doing full engine rebuilds for four seconds of white hot fury. The numbers for everything are astronomical. Horsepower of a small asteroid etc.
-
That's what you want from a race car isn't it? The hit of the whole fruit. Thermodynamic and mechanical limits reached.
-
What's race fuel at this level? Presumably one a bit tamer than nitromethane and methanol?
-
Unimportant celebrity dross. Very serious problem.
-
Would you be concerned about buying a house next to these trees?
AHPP replied to Stout's question in Homeowners Tree Advice Forum
What the **************** did topping those achieve. Demand a rude but feasible amount of money off to punish someone’s crass specifying. Can’t confidently help you with the subsidence etc. Anecdotally, looks ok. But more generally, what are they hiding turning down a free tree survey? What do they already know? -
Ash tree with dieback - whose responsibility?
AHPP replied to Pidgeonpost's topic in Trees and the Law
Since this is about state records now: I’m anecdotally aware that anyone presenting themselves to a council office in business hours can demand to see a TPO on paper for free. What’s the bit of law that compels councils to show you? I went looking for a similar right to inspect land reg documents for free the other day and came up wanting. Bastards. -
Talk us through what’s under the hood, what fuel, rebuild intervals etc.
-
You’re going from strength to strength, Pete.

Ash tree with dieback - whose responsibility?
AHPP replied to Pidgeonpost's topic in Trees and the Law
£11 for some things, including inspection in person. Bastards. -
Depends on your definition of big. First thought is a triangular prism from three heras panels and push it around the grass. I reckon you'd get four or five discrete sitings.
-
Tenth of an acre, productively engaged. Smashing job. I know of chickens in much smaller bits.

Fire in garden, can trees be saved?
AHPP replied to Codythedog's question in Homeowners Tree Advice Forum
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.
