  1. Two wrongs don't make a right.
  2. Hell's tits, Dave. You're saying that with a quite clear subtext of hope and wishful schadenfreude. Step away from the celebrity. Totalitarianism isn't funny. It's all very funny when your team are winning and then very shit very fast when the other team suddenly has the the conch.
  3. Very yellow pheasant curry here again. Will have something else in March.
  4. Bread sounds typically Irish. Workshy and unreactive to investment. Rather you than me for the mobsters. Boil an egg a minute long on a day he's in a bad mood and you might not live to regret doing so.
  5. The unsurprising end to the tale of Hopeless George. Talk to your children about bullying.
  6. Go back home and eat a potato, you scummy immigrant.
  7. Sod off, you showoff. That all sounds delicious.
  8. That's an excellent product name. Make sure you list it on the contents insurance.

    Do you remember when I said I was going to do it the next day...
  10. I've worked for this guy (and lots of other guys to compare him to). He's good. A receptive newbie would learn A LOT. Would have posted the same on facebook for you Michael, but, you know. Facebook.
  11. I've been living on pheasant for weeks. Couple of nights of duck to break it up. A mate flighting tomorrow too.
  12. Beef stew with Cthulhu?

    They're aggressive scum. Call that visible evidence of cracking on a 300-year-old house £12,000 of damage. Someone earning £25,000 per year for a full year will, after taxes be able to pay that builder's bill, eat, and do nothing else. A tree officer essentially condemns that person to a year of work without being paid. That's usually considered slavery. That's the kind of power that just one rank little council dreg wields. It's a disgrace.
  14. I watched that one a few weeks ago and shouted the same thing I shouted this time. "Slash it, you fanny." Would also have cut lower on one of the wire clearing cuts. Moves the pivot further away from the wire.
  15. The state. It doesn’t matter which soap opera character is currently fronting it.
  16. I used to think he was cool. Then I discovered/noticed how much tax loot he takes. Space stuff is just outsourced NASA. It’s cronyism, not capitalism.
  17. Well crikey. This is what this time of day looks like. Sailor’s still irregular from the Manchester ordeal last week but is at least good enough to wake me up for the short walks.
  18. Polishing shoes is absolutely one of the most wholesome things a man can do.
  19. Approved.
  20. I’ll wait…
  21. I've been doing my left boot with Leder Gris and my right with Cherry Blossom for about a year now. No difference in performance. I marginally prefer how the Cherry Blossom goes on. I joined a facebook group for shoot beaters the other week and they all swear by something called five somethings.
  22. Standing by the roadside?
  23. It's nothing so trifling for me. No amount of convincing will get me over the design. It's going to kill someone.
  24. Depends on what sort of wood, how well hinges are working, how well just leaving a rippy cheese string bit on the bottom corner works as a hinge etc. And to an extent what saw I have to hand at the time and what I can reach from a safe spot/good work position. I generally try to make as few cuts as possible and I especially avoid having to cut and chuck 18" stubs to clean up. I have the GRCS on for most trees anyway so I might as well use it if it means I can do a nice flush cut or just have a piece come off calmly. Luxury rigging. So yeah, downwards and sideways ones, cheese string if I can get away with it. For more deliberate upwards and upwards diagonal ones, usually top gobs right against the trunk.
