    Seems to me that most equal right campaigners want the same.

    Some more so than others....

    Conifer ID can be difficult, with similar species only being discernible by minor/microscopic characteristics - so it helps a lot to know what type of information it's necessary to provide/collect when working through keys. Blurry images of the whole tree and a few needles with nothing for scale will only lead so far.

    I've actually met one or two really good ones, who got me through a serious financial situation years ago. Admittedly they got what I owed them, but in a way that was best for me too.

    Don't sound like he's that bad, he's certainly sane enough to play the system. ?

    Ever thought of joining the Samaritans?

    Probably filling in a form when you need to hire a van to move furniture, promising that your usage excludes running crowds of people down!

    Well, that's a cynical point of view. It's sad when life in the UK is such, that solutions to problems seem so far out of the box, that the public just see it as a money-making issue. When the gun-ownership legislation changed in response to a shooting spree, did it make it harder for those inclined to possess a gun for illegal purposes? Watching documentaries, it doesn't look like it. I don't know for sure, but I'm pretty sure that I could get a illegal hand-gun within a day or two, if I really wanted too, through people who know people. It doesn't work!

    Just some photo's from this weeks Field Day & Seminar. And big thank you to Mick Boddy and all at Symbiosis.

    Just marvellous, make life harder and more expensive fo the normal, law abiding, folk because of the minority. A real novel approach to these acid attacks would be to catch the people involved, prosecute and make the penalty so harsh that it discourages others. What's next? Because of the rise in scooter/moped crime, raise the CBT to £2000?? It boils my when the actions of a very small minority of the population forces changes that affect the majority. Is this really going to prevent these attacks?

    Collins Tree Guide groups 5-needled into; Bhutan 12-20 cm, Wymouths, Limber and Foxtail (2-4 cm ) and Endlicher - long stiff leaves. I haven't checked myself, you need the tree/needles in front of you really, but try the Pinus key for Bhutan Key_Pinus_JDL.pdf

    How long are the needles, and how many in a group. A close up up photo would help. Are the tips sharp, rounded etc

    The tax man doesn't forget you after death. Well, at least until he gets what he thinks is his due.

    With the amount of gear you own, I’m surprised it lasted two years. Reckon that equates to ten years for anyone else.

    Absolutely no idea Steve. Someone probably wrongly assumed that that it could come out, and then found out that it couldn’t.

    This tickled me Friday afternoon. A neighbour said that the LA refused to remove this crabapple when the house was built.

    I think the scissor type are better, than the g-clamp style. I usually find that there's not enough of a throat in the body to get those in place. manufacturers! Laser and Sealey usually seem fit for purpose IME for occasional use tools.

    Solicitors. By the time they've done it will the car owners fault.

    Don't be shy, tell us what you really think!

    And from my experience, if you get a forked bJ splitter, get one with slim forks and a bloody big hammer.

    re. The TT. I know two or three lads who used to race and known had the opinion that they were too good. What they did have was an acceptance of the risk. To them it was a risk/reward analysis (not that I think they put that much thought into it) Speed, Bikes, and being competitive was what they did, the risks were part of that and they just had to accept that or stop. I suppose that different folks just simply have different levels of risk aversion.

    There was a point? So that's what the hats for? Head down covering the closed eyes. "I was deep in thought" if anyway wakes you.

    Sleeping in the van half the night IS NOT WORK!

    At the moment 7.30 til about 5 at my day job, then home to do my own stuff til around 9-10pm. Busy at at the moment so might be at my desk for 4.30-5 am to get something done or finished for a deadline. Saturdays and sundays normally surveying. No complaints, I’m trying to establish my own business and appreciate the work.
