  1. Now (autumn) must need extra cover - double indemnity perhaps £$, as all those open pruning wounds are exposed to airborne pathogenic fungal spores.
  2. Maybe she's getting ready to morph - soon she'll be recommending mass sterilization in Asia and Africa as the only way forward 'our troops must go in with surgeons and not return until we have filled 50 ro-ro bins with testes and ovaries' The birth rate in England and Wales - measured as a proportion of the total population - hit a new low in 2018, according to the Office for National Statistics.The average number of children born to women, known as the total fertility rate, is also down, to 1.7 - from 1.76 in 2017. As of 2018, the total fertility rate in Sweden was 1.76 children per woman. Among native-born Swedes, it was even lower, at 1.67 India's average fertility rate between 2015 and 2020 was 2.3 per woman (not a soft target as they have nukes) The vast majority of the countries in the world with the highest fertility rates are in Africa, with Niger topping the list at 7.153 children per woman, followed by Somalia at 6.123 children per woman. The Democratic Republic of Congo, Mali and Chad follow at 5.963, 5.922 and 5.797 children per woman, respectively. Greta's script (hope she's reading) 'The west should be pointing the finger at Africa and saying right you monkeys this isn't about racism it's about self preservation - we've had enough of you lot rutting away and then coming over and clogging up the wealthy countries, adding to their pollution, taking their land. You Africans and Asians, with your selfish DNA, sensitive genitalia, and basic emotions are making too many of the toxic primates, we can't cope. It's time you started controlling yourselves to prevent causing the world even more misery and suffering than you already have.'
  3. There was no opportunity cost to yourself in replying to his post
  4. they do seem to get more out than goes in - unlike us. However the 1:34 ratio seems much higher than the figures I could find for 2017 on EU website, in that year it was more like 1:6
  5. If it was me I would go through the tests in the manual (link below) before ordering parts- looks like they are plug and play (not like a Transit one) but may be wrong. Compared to the cost of the chipper or even a Vanguard engine I don't expect the special tools shown in the repair manual are that dear. https://www.mudbuddy.com/manuals/vanguard/vanguard-37-efi-repair-manual.pdf
  6. ART positioner with swivel - there was a vid with a climber who had worn all the red anodising off his, must have paid for itself many times over. When changing over high up and throwing the rope hanging off the positioner you have to trust it - the internet would have hopefully told us if people were plunging to their deaths due to ART positioners coming apart, not heard one incident with them. The Trango Cinch, if they still make them, is smoother for abseiling with a long lanyard on the bridge in single line mode.
  7. Thread title should read affected. Control the population? Imagine an experiment with say 10 rabbits introduced into a 10 acre enclosure with impenetrable walls. They would go at it until the graph plateau - some starvation as they reach the carrying capacity of the enclosure
  8. Some of the tree men on here own 1.5 acre plots like you, most of them used to be window cleaners
  9. £500! how much to sort this out £25000?
  10. he asked for instructions so he could do it himself - is it not good business to share tricks of the trade on the forum? It would have taken five minutes to ask the technicians the preferred method to remove and install the bearing and post a quick step by step how to on it
  11. I don't shape these, but as an example of what I was suggesting
  12. I like your constructive criticism, instead of just ripping the piss out of him as above. Gotta be cruel to be kind, hmmm On the subject of style those things can look nice shaped maybe twice yearly with hedge trimmer, turns them into e.g a giant egg, nothing like the habit of an open grown tree, but a bit of neat and high greenery
  13. In Australia this time - fearsome looking machine WWW.NEWS.COM.AU The horrific series of events leading up to a man’s death during a terrible workplace incident has been revealed after he was...
  14. Tree of Year 2019 - Woodland Trust WWW.WOODLANDTRUST.ORG.UK Now is your chance to vote for one of the four national Tree of The Year winners to go on to face the European competition. wonder how many budding climbers have turned up at 4.30am in midsummer with a pair of binoculars and a bigshot. The big oak Hillsborough Castle gardens also looks worth a go, hope people don't leave their tangled throwlines in the Dawyck silver fir. Cathedral Rd lime, Wales - beast after my fantasy day climbing the big trees I would ride home on a fast bike

  15. That bottom pic looks a right tangle, why cant the second hitchclimber just be on a long lanyard?
  16. If he had gone to the trouble of jacking it up and taking a couple of wheels indoors may have helped, although if they broke into the barn or whatever and found a nice new quad on axle stands at the front maybe they would look into acquiring 2 suitable wheels to bring with them next time. It is inconvenient and takes time and thought, but I imagine there are many ways to make engine disabling switchable out of sight, a good auto electrician maybe. All this assuming it was driven off each time.
  17. If Arbtalk's Mr Johnson is right the con/brexit coalition odds are good too get 12 back for every pound. Im not sure Id want to put say 3 grand on an election this year to make 300 quid or lose the lot, worse than penny shares
  18. had to re-watch and this time I couldn't see any climbing line, only a line guying the dead tree, scary shit
  19. Interesting, like your can do attitude, although iirc that sky walk tree he had his line in a good tree nearby
  20. Nice size tree. And didn't look too decayed, although the yellow rope one cant quite see. Do you ever turn up and the contractor has booked you to climb a big tree that looks healthy leaf wise, but when you start cutting have decided too much decay to be roped in to it?
  21. Not the same tracks, but these wheel to triangular track units be handy offroading a 2wd van https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=atruT7EcoS0
  22. If we do leave can the navy fire on fishing vessels poaching, or would they just be escorted back to international waters?
  23. it's thick enough to slow someone with a 4 1/2 inch battery grinder, so they try a bigger grinder (230mm)
  24. maybe scaffolding to make a footbridge to walk stuff back
