yeah - severe drought years seem to cause a lot of movement on their own.

because the original aim was subsidence mitigation - imagine 10 years regrowth that thing would be sucking up water like there's no tomorrow My suggestion is buy 5l of glyphosate 360g/l pry, scrape off ivy all around trunk at 1.5m high drill 10mm holes at 45 degs downwards, 60mm deep, 30mm apart in a complete circle around trunk, use a 100ml syringe with plastic tube to fill the holes nearly to top with 50% solution diltuted with preferably rain water, but hard tap water would work May be cheaper than ecoplugs - and either method will work best in growing season, right now probably still ok, or April. You need to take care with mixing and applying strong glyphosate

you can send it to Kew, but I would say they've nailed it

it was readable yesterday - I saw the MOD had given the Israeli firm and Raytheon £2m each to develop their bids. A £2bn contract for training - using modern tech

imagine how good a politician you'd be - your wit and intelligence shines through in every post

okay then - buy a 16ft all legs adjustable, cut it up into pieces and only take enough pieces to attain the height you need on a given day - use your ingenuity to come up with a quick release for the top sections, perhaps sleeves for the back leg Each section would need another hinge fabricating for the back leg

Trump blaming Biden for not letting Ukraine play offensive, nothing to stop Trump righting the situation now Trump on Thursday appeared to vent his frustration at Russia’s obstruction. In a post on Truth Social, the US president blamed his predecessor, Joe Biden, for not allowing Ukraine to “fight back” against Russia. “It is very hard, if not impossible, to win a war without attacking an invaders country. It’s like a great team in sports that has a fantastic defense, but is not allowed to play offense. There is no chance of winning! It is like that with Ukraine and Russia. Crooked and grossly incompetent Joe Biden would not let Ukraine FIGHT BACK, only DEFEND. How did that work out? … Interesting times ahead!!!” Trump wrote.

Israel are the baddies here, they were forcing Palestinians out of land in the West Bank long before Hamas attacked. Netanyahu is behaving the same as Putin. Just like the small boats people are invading the UK, Israel is invading Palestine.

no photos of me taking the tops out, but you can see summerhouse it was over, the angle was similar to the one on left behind it

I have the foam filled (high voltage) Jameson utility poles with a hook (branch lifter) on, using 2 x 6ft poles I anchor as high above as possible, walk out until I start struggling, then use the 12ft length of pole with hook over some side growth at least an inch or so and pull myself out and up the limb with the pole as a kind of bannister, then when Im close enough choke the lanyard, or lanyard halfway and repeat, been out on a horrible 45 ash limb to clear a summerhouse using the pole to pull myself up and miles (literally) out from stem Both hands on the poles, hand over hand

All the money we spend on defence, a waste, but unthinkable what Hitler would have done if no one decided to fight. A real misguided eugenics program. There doesn't seem any way out, as Iran have learned - the country with the biggest budget is the best killer

I don't see the point of us doing what Finland do - Russia isn't on our border. It's almost certain that the UK will be absorbed by a larger state, either before or after nuclear war, probably within the next 2000 years. We are wasting 5% of GDP just to delay the inevitable.

trouble is the top bit goes into space and comes down in multiple glide vehicles - deepthroat required

the Honda information sheet I linked to doesn't say about reseting the gaps when warm, it just says If adjustment is necessary, proceed as follows: a. Hold the rocker arm pivot and loosen the rocker arm pivot lock nut. b. Turn the rocker arm pivot to obtain the specified clearance. c. Retighten the rocker arm pivot lock nut while holding the rocker arm pivot. TORQUE: 10 N·m (1.0 kgf·m, 7 lbt·ft) d. Recheck valve clearance after tightening the rocker arm pivot lock nut. Not sure if this reseting on a warm engine is the right thing to do? Anyway, at least it's running.

What is the most stressful job to have? Working at the Jobcentre - coz even if you get sacked you still have to go in the next day.
