I’m with Mick. Small practical jokes escalate into bigger ones. Not safe. And you’re not being paid to joke. Time spent doing that is money out of someone’s pocket. Don’t get me wrong. I’m not joyless but workshops and places like tree sites are not places to lark about. Two things I was told at the beginning of my first workshop job: 1. Nobody will ever tell you off for hitting the emergency stop button. 2. Never joke about accidents. People could come running, slip and then there’s a real accident. And it’s just not funny anyway. Both apply to tree sites I think.

Pete would put Cathedral City on that, the savage.

The ****************cin nerve of it eh, Mick...

More amused by the fact that Forestry Journal (and by extension Essential Arb) is a sister publication to the Wirral Globe. I had no idea it was the mainstream media.

Felling of a ~160yr old 25m tall Copper Beech Tree - Chiswick, West London

Arrive 07:30. Gear in and bollard on by 08:00. Ropes set by 08:30. Five hours on, one hour off takes you to 14:30. Crown should be gone. Half an hour to eat for the last time and get the 661 out. Whinge like a bitch about your back from 15:00 to when the chogging is done. Drive home in the dark wishing you had a better job. Post about it on arbtalk the next day because it doesn't seem so bad by then. -

I would. 20-30 rigs for the crown, 5 or fewer for low logs, 3 or 4 high negative catches if that's your thing and then head down for some chogging. 10 minute per rig cycle time for the crown, based on 30 rigs over 5 hours. Obviously the ground has to keep up but I've had 3/4 men with one chip truck keep comparable gardens clear enough. Wood obviously a job for another day(s) but the important thing is that I'm on the sofa by then. If a bad drag, clearly the aforementioned may not apply. Nothing looks especially bad from the video though. Tell me you don't run back from the chipper without telling me you don't run back from the chipper, Mark. -

It’s also not 25m tall. -
Tell us your story so far. College, training, firms, kit, milestone jobs etc.

Next time you get one like that, get me in to climb it. I’ll only charge you for five days. NB I’ll be at home for four of the days. -
Can’t really cover this topic without posting this.

Well at least I can laugh about it now.

Had planned on doing it gradually but he got in and chased them the other day so then and there it was. I caught him very quickly and bollocked him very firmly. He wouldn’t look at them for a couple of days, like when I march him into the kitchen and ask why my frying pan is squeaky clean.

Opportunity to (relatively safely) test him on sheep finally presented itself. He prefers sticks.

You fagfancying weirdos think you invented contrarianism. I’m in bed with my dog.

Let’s move Mick on to this. Children are the future.

I put dad on the 05:30 train to (eventually) Paris. Suspect you might beat him there. Dogs walked. Frying pan out.

Been waiting days for that post. Sure as the sunrise, that’s what they say about Mick Dempsey. -
Mighty micro machines!

I thought last night it seemed a bit botty. PMs, Dan!

What's the ring road like on a horse then?

Got a contact number for the rightful owner that’s he’s happy to have shared?

One day. One glorious day…

Shared with the ancient community.

Ask yourself whether you’d be happy if your neighbour tried to dictate to you what you did with a piece of your property.
