  1. This article talks about long dry summers and sooty bark disease of sycamore, never seen SBD https://www.scotsman.com/future-scotland/tech/britain-s-sycamore-trees-under-threat-from-bark-disease-1-519361
  2. The thing with removals, collateral damage aside, the end result is the same , homeowner or time served tree man 20 years in. I dont think many homeowners could make a nice job of a crown reduction on a medium or big tree , not all 'tree surgeons' can.
  3. so there has been a big sign outside the cave saying dangerous in rainy season - the boys ignored it because they were local - now their wages will have to be docked forever to help pay for the rescue
  4. I'm guessing May's thinking is heavily influenced by her husband - city types think a hard brexit will lose them business to euro financial hubs. The Torys are porky snufflers - happy to use their intelligence to enslave the mongrel retards on a pittance and make them feel grateful that they 'created a job' for them Labour happy to buy benefit claimant votes with government debt and make the workers bleed for their generosity Whatever emerges each generation will find something to moan about
  5. that would be one of those 'educate the customer' scenarios - I wouldn't have even considered a thin - probably why I'll only ever be a lowly gardener and not an arborist. they can look nice as pollards sometimes the smaller organisms are all too much
  6. Trees you can diy and may die or kill others, you can diy your own truck brakes without being a trained qualified mechanic and may die or kill others if the brake work is faulty, the only thing you cant risk diy is open heart surgery
  7. the handle attachment on the 160T was weak - if they haven't fixed it, then supply the saw with a roll of tape
  8. a future option on the Unimog? http://youtu.be/HrQrJ57J9eE?t=140
  9. A dwarf conifer no more
  10. at least gender reassignment isn't on the list - that's a relief, haven't had time to get it booked in yet
  11. 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
  12. 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?
  13. 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
  14. 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?
  15. 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
  16. 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
  17. 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.
  18. I remember your post about doing grounds maintenance - didn't envy you that 'job'
  19. Italys new government seem to be on the right track, we could at least send in the military to collect council tax
  20. 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?
  21. I can believe it - one of these centuries an exceptionally dry year will cause another famine
  22. 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
  23. 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
  24. 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.....
  25. 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.
