  1. 44 posts in six years? Maybe he likes to give topics some very consideration before committing himself.
  2. Nice to see some positive benefits derived from the UK's Defense Budget. And I'm only jealous too:biggrin:
  3. You've been living in Cornwall too long. Everyone else is an emmet or grockle! There'll be passport control on the Tamar yet.
  4. Very.
  5. The answer to your question will be dependent on who answers. It will either be 100% true or media misinformation.
  6. anything specific you need to know John?
  7. :lol:
  8. Now, now, Mr J. You're going to get into arguments if you don't agree with people:biggrin:
  9. I haven't had time to look at the maps, but (moisture deficit) subsidence and sand would be a first?
  10. Thanks for that, things I hadn't thought about. I wondered how you'd come to your conclusion.
  11. Why do you say that?
  12. So people can, some just can't:confused1: Personally never had any problems with them.
  13. Call that a hole? This is a hole
  14. Bread fear? Are prices going up because of Brexit? Hold on, I'm in the wrong argument, ooops thread!
  15. Do left wingers prefer curly or straight bananas then? I got confused:biggrin:
  16. Yep, should have added 'send formal notification' after works - just to create the paper trail.
  17. Depending on the helpfullness of the TO, you could also just send a picture, explain why you want to crack on and see if he'll send a 'not-opposed' letter/email back.
  18. Main purpose of of cutting to or above pollard heads is to minimise size of wounds and reduce the expose of (inactive) heartwood.
  19. On the assumption that 'repollard' is defined in the contract, is it general practice for the climber to get instruction and then go on site and prune as he sees fit? Cos this is what the contract manager seems to be saying IMO
  20. Ha ha. It suddenly feels profoundly stupid, and dangerous, to voluntarily introduce a straight razor to the throat. I had a similar 'what the hell am I doing moment' before stepping out of a perfectly good plane at 5000 feet. Everything prior to that moment feels perfectly rational and a good idea:biggrin:
  21. Not sure what my missus would think, if she found me the bathroom with a shaving soap covered balloon.
  22. Manual? That's just the manufacturers opinion ain't it:biggrin:
  23. Hey, I never claimed it as original.
  24. just because you're paranoid, doesn't mean they're not out to get ya:biggrin:
