  1. Maybe it does mean fuck all. Moderation means fuck all to the pigs. 4 foreign holidays a year if they can afford it. Drive from London to the Jurassic Coast in a Chelsea tractor just for a day at the beach. I get the feeling we havent seen a decent sized environmental disaster yet. The fun will prevail and the smoke keep rising. The hypocrites will pedal their wares
  2. Its not a question of being in a position to, or not. If one does speak out - that is observable behaviour. Hypocritical maybe, but still a natural phenemenon.
  3. I do. I'm just a cog in a big wheel. I dont expect I'll ever stop causing harm to the environment. Amazon rainforest being decimated. Thermal coal powering China. Worldwide nuclear waste rotting in undisclosed locations. Stop violence. Stop materialism.
  4. None of it matters anyway - the pigs will continue to pollute the Earth in the name of free enterprise.
  5. too late - a snapshot of it was caught by the Wayback Machine
  6. the fundamental forces are all much of a muchness - is gravity that different to the force that lifts the Maglev? if you really believe it all came out of absolutely nothing, a vacuum, once upon a time
  7. At average gravity on Earth (conventionally, g = 9.80665 m/s2), a kilogram mass exerts a force of about 9.8 newtons. An average-sized apple exerts about one newton of force, which we measure as the apple's weight.[4] 1 N = 0.10197 kg × 9.80665 m/s2 (0.10197 kg = 101.97 g) So Khriss gave a good approximation (water is 1kg/litre) these questions are fairly common - in Bing etc type in 25N = kg will return25 newtons = 2.54929053 kilograms-force so round the answer to 2.55 kg (approx 2litres plus 550ml water) if you want to go all sciency you can weigh the container and deduct one ml of water for each gram the bottle etc weighs
  8. as above model numbers would help - the old FS130 were 4-mix and the valve gap had to be adjusted after so many hours, FS131 may need the same.
  9. maybe the stems will talk to each other by way of the hormones and work out a way to live together
  10. I'm sorry. I promise I won't ever do it again. Best wishes
  11. Cant see why it had to end with a happy yellow face
  12. I dont want to wind my neck in, sounds painful. If youd rather be spoon fed subby work thats up to you. As someone else pointed out the other day - there is an ignore function - please use it. (Smiley emoticon ommited)
  13. Centrica owns it all? Should I buy the shares, will they recover?
  14. Theres loads of Dynorod always putting up TM never stopped. You couldnt buy a franchise or otherwise set up yourself.
  15. see below - there's always work about, but it could be too physical for you, make you tired. I think you enjoy whining in internet chat rooms more than anything else, so you have no motive to get on.
  16. doing a temporary menial job to tide you over would be too much like hard work
  17. so two main problems are not enough work, and can't go to the pub. Shouldn't mean people are bored though. What about studying to further a skill set? Reading doesn't have to be Middlemarch, could be an electronics textbook for example. “The growing good of the world is partly dependent on unhistoric acts; and that things are not so ill with you and me as they might have been, is half owing to the number who lived faithfully a hidden life, and rest in unvisited tombs.” – George Eliot, Middlemarch.
  18. most tree work seems to be more aimed at risk removal, 'don' want my grandchildren playing under that' etc, which is fair enough. If you want to see a big tree, go to the tree museum (and stand well clear).
  19. Your average tree contractor may not know about patterns of decay of all the different fungi, for example, some do, some don't. So trying to get free advice as part of a quote visit isn't always going to give you a definitive answer. The tree guys on here know their stuff when it comes to work positioning and machinery maintenance, but you often see contractors asking 'what fungi is this?' The best thing a tree owner can do is not let humans or valuable infrastructure near it ever, then the tree can safely manage itself until death.
  20. Sorry I should have put it another way. I dont think maybelateron was being preachy. It seems to me he said something along the lines of 'I dont like the thought of getting questioned by HMRC and found out. His was a concern about punishment. But I tried to talk about another reason for being honest - because one day you may need expensive treatment on the NHS, so when you're on the table and your life is in their hands you can think Ive paid in as per instructions, not tried to be some flash Dan getting away with whatever I can.
  21. He (maybelateron) is ex NHS, so I expect he has a certain moral standing on this, after all his wages came out of taxpayer money. I have commited fraud many a time and I know full well I will burn in hell.
  22. also the timing of cutting is a consideration - I would try to avoid autumn when majority of fungal decay spores are released, now would be good except as Stere mentioned there is already drought stress. Early summer if no drought or late December/ January good times.
