  1. Very uncommon here (UK). There usually aren’t the other trees or whatever nearby to set it up or it isn’t worth setting it up.
  2. I follow. Makes you wonder how many more would come to pick their own if you were near Blaydon or somewhere.
  3. That's mad. Average of £64.29 a tree and you're hardly convenient to get to. The economics your side of the equation notwithstanding, how are people mental enough to pay that?
  4. A mate lived in San Diego, in a neighbourhood of haves but close to a neighbourhood of have nots. He couldn't stand the divide and how out-of-sight, out-of-mind they were. He was meant to be there for a year but ended up moving to Antarctica after six months.
  5. Do you mean wrap the stone up like a loose cigar?
  6. Bit of salmon. Skin side down in a hot pan, cover, cook until burnt, heat off, flip, butter and thyme in, cover for as long as you dare.
  7. 400 years ago was about when people here started saying, "**************** this. Let's go somewhere with less bullshit."
  8. California is a microcosm of the country. Whole thing ruined in 400 years. Took us way longer here.
  9. Someone could hang themselves on that. You have no idea who you’re dealing with.
  10. No. It's still 4500 pretty empty words that explain not a lot.
  11. I love your empirical approaches to work. Very useful. Also reminds me of the bit in DS9 where the Cardassians' record keeping is compared to the Nazis'.
  12. I vowed to never again visit the Roaches (excellent gritstone crag in the Staffordshire moorlands) when I last went and found a massive banner stretched over a boulder, warning me about some unnecessary bollocks. That and the signs. **************** off. If you don't know where the upper tier or the fourth cloud is, you ask a fellow climber and make a friend. Or you get lost and have to work it out. Miserable sanitisation. Get in the sea.
  13. I think rugby union players should wear American football gear. I don't really. Apologies if that made you feel as queasy reading it as it did me writing it.
  14. But what about the domestication cutting both ways? How have humans become slaves to heathland? I understand the stuff about young growth being more nutritious for domesticated grazing animals but we're all accounts executives with digital watches these days. Food comes from the shop and whether it's self-maintaining heathland, or aspiring or final woodland, you can't easily put a Starbucks on it so it doesn't really matter.
  15. I thought that article was dreadfully written and never really got round to the point the title suggested it would make. Can anyone summarise it please.
  16. Good story. I'm also hugely amused by your username and the idea that as well as being a tree bloke, you keep an eye on international monkey affairs.
  17. I walk my cousin's dog in Nottingham from time to time. There's a particular tree in a particular park that a tramp shits behind.
  18. My van cranker came to me ready-tired. A few weeks stood and then the cold snap finally pushed me to buy one of those Noco jumper packs.Not needed it yet but good peace of mind having it.
  19. This thread is your best work, Mick, not far behind your usually excellent memes/gifs. Three cheers for you.
