  1. It is like a pub in here - the one from American Warewolf in London 'Keep to the path. Beware the moon'
  2. So what is required is a photocopy of his birth certificate authenticated by his solicitor
  3. sorry to hear this - my mums friend lost her son because of it. I can see why people would have no desire to find out - lots of people die mountaineering, but that is at least glamourous
  4. It seems people are of the opinion that you can't just try heroin to see what it's like - a few times getting high and you have to have it all the time. Some people like a nice glass of Chateaux Neuf du crap occaisionally , others need several litres per day
  5. er yeah I was just about to try to remedy that after posting, remembering your ongoing battle with multiple myeloma - what I meant was I am genuinely curious as to the experience. I agree its worth staying in good shape to fight cancer, as these days the medicine can work wonders. A customer of mine looked at deaths door with a huge lump on his shoulder from leukemia, but is now completely clear. Of course its worth fighting
  6. I don't - I mean I've often wondered what it can do, but never tried it. Must be nice. I'll wait till I get cancer, then have a play with madness
  7. alleviating, although elevating may have been the unintended result
  8. I was bored and lonely so I took to my computer to write a load more crap , that's all
  9. good point - as you said earlier the trees need 2 year or older wood to fruit on.
  10. so you seem to be saying the cash on the street she gets given is all being spent on injections - the gifts from passers by are making her worse. If she had no cash she couldn't buy drugs, but could at least still go to food banks. Top tip for new year - never ever give cash to homeless - only hot drinks and tinned food and corrugated iron and second hand sleeping bags - dont give them brand new sleeping bags or theyll sell them for cash to buy drugs. Best thing would be cart them off the street into a special facility where they perform neurosurgery to remove the part of the brain that creates pleasure from opiates
  11. be good to read some of your exploits working in the big trees too , and like others have said any photos of exciting stuff. Although I understand proper tree men aren't preoccupied with photos and videos - they do the exciting stuff because they enjoy it, not to show off
  12. the dealer with the pitbull - so he sees the state she's gotten into by consuming his merchandise and he knows it's better money and easier than manual labour. People like him deserve to become the targets of vigilantes - he may even walk along thinking 'if I didn't sell to her, someone else would'. Dealers got rid of by mercenaries paid for by a caring billionaire would be good
  13. so surely it is fair for the government to call it a crisis - its an invasion in my mind. After a few weeks of 40 a day this is another few thousand bods hoovering up our debt funded handouts
  14. drawing from my secondhand copy of Brickell: Pruning and Training shows sorting out a neglected tree, although leggy ones trying to reach the light will be harder to work with
  15. some people get obsessed - think this was posted before, from a 2013 newspaper https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2437247/250-varieties-apple-tree--thanks-bit-hard-grafting-years.html
  16. it looks like the hedge shades it for at least part of the day? even so I would let it spread horizontally and take the highest vertical growth back down
  17. or at least they are willing to buy boxes of tricks - not sure an OBD blocker would have deterred them, but it shows the port is one vulnerable point
  18. short of paying someone to point a gun to your head with strict instructions to blow your brains out if you stop reading, can't think of anything
  19. genuine low hours = the hour meter may not have been tampered with at all
  20. could have saved a few quid there
  21. and you can't be bothered to write a three page essay to explain
  22. interesting - even with a haas and a foot ascender you still have to hold the rope, so no harm in adding a few extra grams of ally to the tangle
  23. out of the ones who actually had the balls to do this - what percent actually ended up making decent regular money without gaps? My gut feeling is that fraction isn't any less than the cohort that went into arb employment and stayed on the books or went as roaming labour only. The young budding entrepeneur can hire in experienced help if he sees fit and if he is intelligent enough he will eventually stop making mistakes on pricing, feeling happy his labours are not paying the wages of someone else's office staff.
  24. I'm adopted
  25. you know how Vespasian got banned the other day - it got me thinking - any professional troll should have at least 20 other accounts active so they can keep posting in the event. He hasn't got one of mine though, I swear
