  1. was chatting with a surveyor employed by Gristwood and Toms, he used to climb for them, now they put him up in Travelodges and various councils have them in to go round looking at their trees. G&T often arent the cutting contractors for these councils, but they provide knowledgeable bods. Didnt ask him what training G&T gave him, probably PTI course at least.
  2. bloody insult to mention that Echo on the same thread as all these other cheaper compromises. My Stihl 160T still in one piece, but I would rather have the Echo. 56V proper commercial machine worth a weeks wage for the full kit with 2 batts
  3. the birthplace of Einstein, Copernicus, Darwin, Leonardo da Vinci, Newton, Galileo, and Starmer
  4. now that brings us back down to earth, oftentimes the internet people enjoy some fun, but as you say - that guy's widow and kids have been through something different to fun
  5. so now - in silico, or in vivo?
  6. Trump has saved America from South America and should now be allowed an official harem, like the Chinese emperors had. This way there is no need to suffer the pain of longing for his own Monika.
  7. if you're not part of the solution you're part of the problem
  8. quite an amount of damage did the flipline carabiner not go in properly, or adjuster fail?
  9. its like smoking - you need to get through a skip full of fags to get the full benefit
  10. imagine holding one of the phones to your ear for a 30 minute call - get to experience radiotherapy before even getting cancer
  11. sometimes the diaphragm or other gubbins not working, if so try a copy carb off ebay, I have quite few machines running the copy carbs, sometimes a genuine carb on ebay at reasonable cost Genuine Stihl HS72 HS74 HS75 HS76 HS80 HS85 Carburettor 4226 120 0600 /0602/0604 | eBay UK WWW.EBAY.CO.UK HS80, HS85. Stihl Genuine Carburettor New unused. Carburettor C1Q-S28E. What you see is what you will receive x1 carburettor...
  12. all this wisdom from someone who still goes out to work in a car - when you getting a van or truck?
  13. some of the commercial ones for vineyards and orchards now have good safety cut out systems that stops the blades closing if the other hand is too close
  14. an old thread where David Humphries investigates gano on Holm Oak - he suspected applanatum, but wanted to rule out the potentially more damaging adspersum (10 y old thread and at the time microscopy was needed to differentiate the two species)
  15. some ganoderma have spores like powdered chocolate
  16. we are near the end of the growing season now, so you may not see any recovery till next year, but those slabs over much of the root plate, cimbined with this being a drought year have not helped it. Without disturbing the slabs, a few watering cans around the exposed side twice a week during dry periods may help it, or a hose if no ban. Ideally you dont have paving (unless porous) directly under the canopy
  17. she knows it
  18. Prunus cerasifera If you've got free time and he accepts why not do it next week? It's not going to make much noise so could be a weekend job even. I would say to him - if the general advice is June, July August, then doing it after the first week in September not ideal.
  19. in terms of occupied housing the legals are more of a problem, say 200k legal net per year, plus 50k illegal and youve got an extra quarter million people each year to shelter. Landlords - if we could somehow ethically kill off all the people who rent from them the landlords would become forced sellers
  20. even a more severe covid would have done the same, say if 2 million pensioners had snuffed it - all those bungalows hitting the market at once
  21. I never used the word steal, occupy is enough. Those migrants granted asylum end up in bricks and mortar. Houses and flats occupied by foreign people. So if a spaceship hoovered up all the foreigners in an ethical and painless way there would be a load of empty properties
  22. cutting back someone's garden last year - she had rats on her bird feeder. She got a pest controller to put bait boxes down and the rats went. Not sure if bait boxes would be safe around chickens and dogs. Maybe outside the chicken run, dog would have to be determined VID_20241116_104129373.mp4
  23. not true, many Syrians have crossed in small boats from France - a safe country.
  24. No, benefits and job prospects are. So as these are lower in e.g Bulgaria, legal and illegal migration to that country are lower than to England. So with less migrants to find accomodation for there is lower demand for houses in Bulgaria. So if we have 50000 small boats migrants a year and say 30000 of those remain, we now need extra housing for 30000 more people than the year before - plus extra housing for net increase due to legal migrants granted work and study visas. Migrants are the sole reason for UK population growth. The UK birth rate has been below 2 for many years.
  25. there are lots of immigrants arriving in England, meaning the available land has to support more people, not many immigrants chose Bulgaria, or even rural Italy. Those places with less people, property is much cheaper . Surely without legal and illegal immigration England too would have less thriving economy, but also lower property prices? Rural places in Europe where the young move to cities or abroad for work, thats where the property is cheap. Supply and demand
