    Redoine Faid: Paris helicopter prison break for gangster https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-44673753 supposed to be doing 25 years for blowing away a police officer during a botched robbery - this is the trouble with no death penalty

    A bloke near me was making biochar, used to let me dump brushwood. I read up on it and couldnt believe the ebay prices for a kilo. A lorry of decent topsoil and a digger?

    Nice to look on the bright side, but when you hear there are more mosques than churches now in uk surely you cant be positive about that? Someone said before about red and grey squirrels

    customer wants to half dimensions. I said at your risk - kill or cure. Horse chestnut, alder, willow I've cut back hard no probs, but only seen gentle reductions on walnuts. Anyone hat racked/ pollarded them and seen the response?

    sounds like the bloke was a bit of a hero, its nowhere near civilized in Africa more homo erectus and only a few h.sapiens

    insurance has some very smart people - theyll work out how to avoid giving some 30 or 40 year old 15k a year till they reach 65. Microscopic smallprint

    Because they don't want to pay the premium. I've always thought if it was me whacked out for a long while any cover would stop paying out after a while and I'd be relying on my savings anyway. Doing manual work I've always been suspicious of how the other half live.

    I remember your post about doing grounds maintenance - didn't envy you that 'job'

    Italys new government seem to be on the right track, we could at least send in the military to collect council tax

    they're nowhere near as bad as the Taliban - we're lucky in the UK if birds can make a nest wherever they can find, why can't humans?

    I can believe it - one of these centuries an exceptionally dry year will cause another famine

    I've still got a Mk1 HAAS from about 3 years ago - the Velox looks better. The Mk1 uses a CT chest ascender - very good choice with the spring clip, never comes off https://www.skylandequipment.com/ct-climbing-technology-chest-ascender.html?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI8arjyY7w2wIVZbXtCh2iHAqtEAQYAiABEgI8kPD_BwE

    surely it must be fraud to send an invoice with a fake address? this is the first result from the google search 'police fraud squad ebay scam' https://www.actionfraud.police.uk/news/reports-to-action-fraud-result-in-ebay-scammers-jailed-for-18-years-feb16

    If the money has gone into a bank account and the 'seller' (scammer) is not answering messages or calls maybe its worth going to the police. Of course a way to find him could be to get a mate to arrange to buy his other item cash on collection. Bit risky though unless you know any mercenaries who carry out special ops. If you pay council tax and fund the police.....

    what do you think about men leave women with one or two young kids and go off to start another family? Some men don't seem to think they need to be responsible just because they have become a father. Of course some women will have affairs after having a young family and leave the poor heartbroken husband who so wanted his family to stay together. Maybe they should make a law parents have to stay together until the kids are all 16 or they forfeit 50% of their disposable income to the state - to be enforced by armoured car. I agree women aren't rushing to get down the coal mines, and that is a problem.

    I agree - the other thing I've learned to be very wary of is the classified type of listing, the £750 for the breaker and pack is a classified listing 'This is a Classified Ad listing. There is no bidding on this item, so contact the seller for more information. Seller Feedback scores exclude classified listings.' Someone bad can use a classified listing and know they are not part of the ebay money back guarantee. It happened to me, because I wasn't intelligent enough to not trust someones word. No feedback as a seller isn't good - I have no idea other than you drive to the unit with armed backup, he may only go there ocaisionally if it is even rented by him. I would have thought someone doing lots of sales would be charging VAT. I got ripped off on a tipper once by one of those organisms that live together not in bricks and mortar. It made me realise that if there was no come back I would be happy to drop someone dishonest like you would a pigeon.

    plenty of holes were made with a bit and brace before battery drills came out

    More lack of the best gear I'd say - a zigzag instead of the prussik, then a pulleysaver or ART ropeguide type cambium saver and if you don't already a good foot ascender e.g CT. I'm asthmatic and even I can haul myself up with that lot - prussiking or Blakes I would be puffed out. If it's a big tree a foot ascender makes all the difference.

    What Trump is trying to do to the Mexicans the native americans should have done to the europeans - get them out before they spread like a cancer

    during the election I read a bit about his bone spur draft dodging and my conclusion was that he used his intellect and/or his families connections to avoid being killed in a military conflict. He is a good businessman, but if he is indeed a draft dodger I believe that alone should have prevented him from taking office. They should have one of the old generals doing it - someone who has actually put their life on the line for their country. https://www.nytimes.com/2016/08/02/us/politics/donald-trump-draft-record.html?smprod=nytcore-iphone&smid=nytcore-iphone-share&_r=0

    sorry if its been discussed before - just saw this on ebay it says in the listing runs off Honda power pack - surely must be possible to engineer a quick release and have it on the feed roller circuit? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/timberwolf-chipper-track-conversion/263752012157?hash=item3d68d8517d:g:ziYAAOSwrU1bHrQl

    Yes - this is why people still want to race superbikes in the Isle of Man, even though many riders have died on the course.

    you must have disappeared when the philosophical threads on free will were running maybe you're just lucky to have the genetics that make you the human dynamo, too much manual work makes me feel tired all the time
  24. tree-fancier123
    wise move

    I had 20 litres off this guy for about half price of the Mole Valey one inc Parcelforce. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/20L-Barclay-Gallup-XL-360g-l-Glyphosate-WEEDKILLER-ROUNDUP-PARCELFORCE-48/112554643343?epid=2244875079&hash=item1a34c78f8f:g:vjUAAOSw2gxYntXx Glyphosate is off patent so why pay more? I use at 1 to 50 - sometimes add a wetting agent and if its really got to die off asap a tank mix with another herbicide 2-4-D (Depitox)
