  1. Soz, my fault, best for me to lie low now n av a social media detox
  2. Don't forget Jews and blacks Didnt think the jews were noteworthy theives, unless you count the extortionate interest rates they charged as money lenders
  3. the gyp know an even cheaper way
  4. I'm no expert - but a road I work in has a big line of copper beech that were pollarded at about the size of yours, possibly bigger and the regrowth is now 4 to 6 inch diameter. Historically beech pollards were common, probably to get firewood. If you did it at Christmas as a kill or cure, you may end up with something you can take back to pollard knuckles at major forks by the top of the trunk every 3 years or so, and clear the trunk to suit your taste. Definitely try to initiate a pollard before a fell, such a beautiful colour. If it was pollarded it may be possible to trim the regrowth after 3 to 5 years as a lollipop shaped beech hedge one tree long, annual trim
  5. some cu££ drove along the beach, why not leave it in the car park and walk
  6. maybe I am then - I'd love 390bhp at my disposal - towing up hills would be a breeze
  7. supercharged Range Rovers hard to beat for £/hp - this one makes 390bhp and a snip at £7.5k. Get the gas axe out and hey presto a tax efficient off road pick up
  8. compared to the width of a timberwolf 150VTR with removable hopper off from the blurb 'This machine is perfect for access on restricted access contracts and can even pass through a standard 700mm doorway. The features and benefits of the TW150 VTR include: Variable width tracks for easy access through narrow openings (quick remove funnel, tracks move in to 700mm) Reliable Kubota 4 cyl. Diesel engine'
  9. also waiting to hear, sounds dicey on a calm day, let alone if the winds getting up. I suppose the only bonus of dismantling a dead tree is reduced windsail
  10. FB just passed his tree tickets and has panel van and thriving fencing Boy racer fanny magnet - nah - a good tipper truck. Out of all the people doing treework, not many will mess about with trailers. Sometimes with the tipper you can get in a driveway where reversing a trailer, even with front tow bar, would just be a pain. If you get a big tree job and groundie on the insurance, one takes panel van with gear in plus trailer for timber and other takes tipper truck and tow behind chipper circa £8k on a used tipper, and £8k on a used tow behind. Until you can pay cash for a nice detached house with a duck pond metal objects are just that
  11. Trimmed this walnut - was struggling to shape it, all growth on the tips and branches snapping with hardly any weight on them. If in doubt sob it out
  12. this quote from the Times about Corbyns latest 'Launching a “Build it in Britain” campaign in Birmingham at EEF, the manufacturers’ organisation, he criticised Theresa May for allowing billions of pounds’ worth of work on passports, ships and health supplies to go abroad.' Corbyn would allow the country to become even more debt ridden and overcrowded with immigrants on compassionate grounds, but he does have a point - the tories have outsourced a whole host of stuff abroad, just terrible short sighted accounting. A good way of getting a decent politician would be IVF, if all leaders agree to have eggs and sperm frozen - how about a Stalin/Thatcher embryo, bound to get people working. State run farms and shipbuilding - get the claimants in there for a minimum 20 hours a week or let them starve. Housing benefit scrapped - dormitories only. No that's not fair
  13. they are there, be careful on that tree - its being eaten alive
  14. that's some distance - wonder what the record is? Half a mile?
  15. excellent advice - the link below shows suitable centre bearing pattern parts at 40euro and genuine at an eye watering 140euro https://www.auto-ricambi.eu/propshaft-centre-bearings-iveco-daily-2006-c225/
  16. at the bottom of this page on the Iveco Daily Forums is supposed to be a link to a manual pdf, haven't tried downloading it, as mine is 2006. http://ivecoforums.com/topic/8938138/1/ I did download the Iveco workshop service manual for mine from that site and its has most jobs shown clearly parts I found some are cheaper to the UK from eastern europe, even with carriage. I used auto-recambi.eu edit, the link does work, screenshot below from pdf manual - you get bombarded with ads - can't say how much malware I've now hoovered up too, at your own risk
  17. I find searching arbtalk old threads much easier with google than the sites' own search a google search 'arbtalk tree disease books' for example yields dozens of results, reading these threads will generate a long list of books, some expensive Try Bob Watson, Trees - their use management cultivation and biology. It's cheap, comprehensive and also lists many of the books mentioned in arbtalk threads in the references section. It has one chapter ' Harmless, helpful and harmful biotic agencies of trees' an intro to pests and diseases. Many specialized books are mentioned in the previous threads e.g "manual of wood decay in trees" by K Weber and C Mattheck and Diagnosis Of Ill-Health In Trees 2nd Edition A similar google search 'arbtalk woodland management books'..... Unless it's an enquiry about a recently published or out of print book, most of the available books have been discussed many times before
  18. your first post came out in code in my browser, something not right, can see photos in other threads
  19. vegetation drying up in the heatwave, compared with back in May
  20. One day the US president will be in silico , artificial intelligence. Let the computers decide - were staring at computer screens all the time anyway, so why not be ruled by one?
  21. exaggeration - only a mere 22.3% when I checked the bill, we probably need the community centre done out in gold leaf - or the churches whatever can't complain too much - couldn't bear to live in complete anarchy, going back to caveman style in the news - posh totty fed up with 63 yr old Lord shagging around - so does his flat over with pigs blood and garden sprayer, draws penis etc
  22. yes - have to admire your altruistic work there - every time my council tax bill comes in it has a huge increase in the parish council part of it 30ish% increase this year. I can't be bothered to get involved and have resigned myself to being robbed
  23. lovely photo of acer saccharum
  24. wow that is like a whole book. Thanks very much for sharing.
  25. this vid shows a method using multisling anchor - just unclip carabiner to advance https://youtu.be/JkR-IU1jva0?t=5m54s advancing TIP discussed here too http://www.treebuzz.com/forum/threads/advancing-the-tip.27453/
