  1. Couldn't agree more . .. Thought he could just waltz in and bully , manipulate people with his suited bespectacled cronies , puppets . The dunes at Menie are a true gem , I've never seen anything like them , and because he wants to look after his psuedo billionaire golfer bum chums he thinks he can destroy this forever and families that have made their home there . My god there's enough bloody golf courses along the coast anyway
  2. Fantastic story and at last some hope for our bee colonies . Just hope they get the funding required to continue this vital research , the results seem to speak for itself . Super !!!
  3. I liked his idea of guaranteeing ex soldiers with 12 years experience or more a job as a policeman or prison guard
  4. No this is the way to do it as you describe . The limbs are tough and strong just make sure that the limb you anchor round is not dead . As you get higher it should be much easier to get your mainline round behind the stem , give yourself plenty slack and climb a metre or so above your anchor if you can . Shouldn't take you that long really .
  5. This actually happened to my mate , the tear away saved his ass big style , ironically he never uses cambium savers either ... Rather be lucky than good
  6. Maybe wear a face mask as a precaution anyway , I would . Not an expert on asbestos though my friend .
  7. Called a ' deadpool ' Pencil me in for Muhammad Ali ..
  8. Yeh how embarrassing a stihl chainsaw
  9. I'm on an enforced break , can honestly say I don't really care if I climb another tree or not atm . Hoping some of Stefan's enthusiasm rubs off on me ..
  10. All just babies compared to this guy .. Konishiki aka the dump truck , 46 stone fight weight .. Sent from my Lenovo A3500-FL using Tapatalk
  11. Kes !! aka Brian Glover !
  12. :laugh1: don't know quite how to respond to that :laugh1:
  13. Remember well my old grannie gettin into a boiling rage every Saturday afternoon Think Giant Haystacks is in like the top 5 all time biggest wrestlers , the guy was humungus . If people looked behind the scenes at professional wrestling far and away more serious and extreme injuries involved than Olympic ( freestyle ) wrestling albeit I can't watch pro wrestling . If you want to see extreme human power just youtube Brock lesnars top 10 moments .
  14. Have to agree with easy lift on the wrestling comment . It's now classed as ' sports entertainment ' anyway now . . so there is no pretense . Brock Lesnar IMO was the greatest athlete the world has ever seen , a 300lb freak show . I was reading the other day about the ' Alaskan Bush People' , apparently 100 % bs , this was from their neighbours in the village they live which is in a normal house , shop at the grocery store etc . The TV company rent a piece of ground nearby and off they go couple times a week to film ..
  15. Baumpflege - treecare , kronenpflege - crowncare , totholz - Deadwood , lichtumprofil - lift , kronensicherung - bracing , kurzung - reduction , rodung - fell , facade - take it off the building 1-2 meters , hebebuhne - hoist ...
  16. A pal o mino had them ..
  17. Only need the back cut higher to create the hinge on a 45 degree gob cause this coincides with maximum bending moment of the falling stem I believe . 70 degree gob when topping don't need the higher hinge as I understand . Nothing new in slightly downward back cut either , watched a guy chog down an extremely tall pine on YouTube using this method and certainly looked a talented arborist to me . PS I've never put my backcut below ..
  18. Birch tapping Ukraine . Sent from my Lenovo A3500-FL using Tapatalk
  19. Like Steve i also hate football with a passion , not so much the game itself but the people involved with it .. Claudio Ranieri seems to buck the trend for me , no foul mouth bs and very dignified and humble person , well that's certainly how he comes across . Never won a major league with any club which truelly does make it a fairytale ...
  20. In Ukraine where it's extensively harvested they don't drill it . just a piece of angle stainless or alloy hammered in to the tree with filtered bottle below . Normal to add sugar and perhaps lemonjuice , drunk quickly as doesn't keep well , absolutely invigorating drink cold
  21. Hahaha I was waiting on it !
  22. What's going on in the UK ? The above gentleman headline sportsnews SHOCK , HORROR .... Caught with a shisha pipe !!!!! Hobby of 12-14 year old Turkish boys , very popular in mainland Europe , not a drop of alcohol or trouble to be seen . What a very very naughty boy ..
  23. Hahaha it's made my morning that !! :-)
