"Start"

I was in arb just before and while at uni. I did one of my first memorable proper freelance climbing jobs on a morning in Newcastle before an afternoon lecture at Scumbag College, Wearside. Plan to go until 40 or 45 at this and then do legal things. Can still put in a ten or twenty year shift at it then. I'm 37 or 38 now.

Rubbish. It's full of roundabouts with little pubs on corners. The north circular is a fack off motorway on flyovers etc.
-
Even better!

Another amusing (and in this case incredulously committed) driving offence. Think, where have you ever seen this sign in the UK? Not often. I'd in fact never seen it until I saw it as I turned down a perfectly ordinary looking road in the suburbs of Lincoln in a Volvo S40 full of commercial fireworks and RDX. Me and my mate just looked at each other and wet ourselves. What are the bloody odds. For any infrequent forum visitors who came here via a keyword flag, it was all above board. Go back to checking twitter for male pregnancy deniers.

Been there. 2010 or so, doing laps of a roundabout in Durham, trying to read a self-printed map by headtorch, drink having been taken. Usual unpleasantaries but kept quiet and a left with only a bit of paperwork to fix a brake/indicator bulb and show an MOT station I had. Could have been worse. The south circular doesn't exist btw. I believe the rest of the story though.

Anyway, here's a picture of me in 2014, about to win a national competition for pretending to be a lawyer. Human rights case about freedom of expression, based on a real case about someone on twitter complaining about wogs.

It wasn't a direct block. They don't have any men with guns to enforce judgments. It was UK judges granting appeals upon appeals, either to try to advance the law or the state of the nation or just so that everybody could get paid for listening and talking for a few years.

3.5t car transporter beavertail that can carry a loader/towed chipper/ tracked chipper/spare car/big wood. 3.5t tipper trailer for chip and wood mainly but whatever else when convenient too. That's what I keep coming back to as the holy grail (for big jobs with small kit anyway). Fight me, Mick.

Similarly, while we’re demystifying things, European convention rights can be either absolute or qualified. Most are qualified. Like you have a right to life, unless you challenge an armed copper to a gun fight. Or you have a right to free speech, unless it incites violence. The only supposedly absolute right that springs to mind is the prohibition of slavery, which is still arguably breached by forcing prisoners to work. There’s a very good film about that in the states, 13, named after the 13th amendment to the constitution, which prohibits slavery, except if you’re a criminal. So they made drugs illegal, knowing people would keep using them so they had a ready supply of criminals to work in prisons. Victoria’s Secret lingerie was famously made with this slave labour. The UK does it too, less bigly.

I can't remember where I saw it but I recently read that someone was getting as much as 2500kg straight line pull from an Eder 1800.

No. The European Court of Human Rights can say the UK has done something that breaches a person's convention right(s). The UK can shrug its shoulders or declare incompatibility between the convention right and its national law (Human Rights Act 1998, s 4).

It's only incorporated in that courts here have to consider it. If they want to, they can go against it.

I was hoping to laminate a hard copy and staple it to someone.
-
Does anyone demand acknowledgement that the notice is satisfactorily detailed immediately as it is submitted? The downside being that they’d have to actually look at it.
-
Yes but it's nice to be nice.

Right. I'm going to make a normal 211 notice for doing them in a oner (no felling licence - domestic curtilage, probably under volume anyway - see no legal advantage to doing so either). Next question: What needs to be on the 211 notice for it to be effective? Maps, photos, sizes, species, reasons etc. I don't want to give them anything more than necessary. And how does the six week period work if I submit a satisfactory (by what standard?) notice but they want to ask questions? Does the submission date get moved to when I've appeased their cunnt whining or is it as simple as they have six weeks to TPO or not?
-
Any more thoughts on the piecemeal vs oner approach?
-
Something I've been thinking about lately is the proper order in which things should fail to be safest/cheapest/most useful. Just something to bear in mind when you've got a chain of heavy steel bits with pingy strap bits in between.

Nice!

She looks like very pleasant company.

Nice. How did you weigh it? Or was it just the forklift creaking?

Let's see some pictures please.
