  1. This is what you get when you fail to get into drama school
  2. I was surveying at milnrow rd 2 - 3 months ago. What a fucking country we live in. I hope my kids leave this country when they are older. Give them an inch and they take a mile. If this was Eastern Europe or Russia these scum would be dead now.
  3. spindle as said - we have one in the garden
  4. these are quite good
  5. If I google big snatch maybe I will get porn !!
  6. Utility surveyor? Walking across the countryside seeing what trees need pruning away from powerlines. I can give you a lot more info if you like.
  7. I love you ….. I know https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VU3vYa_mBDQ
  8. great scene - great acting
  9. Yes Stubby rock drummers with a Jazz sensibility are my favourites. I also like Neil Peart and Stu Copeland rites
  10. Its actually Phil Collins and Bill Bruford on this track. Chester Thompson plays on most of this live album though. I think Phil sacked Bill as he wouldn't play as he was told
  11. ah yes seen this a while ago -clever
  12. One for Timon
  13. Sufficient - makes me laugh - between 3 and 10 yrs then ? who knows
  14. This is what I would do if I was in the same position. Check if the tree is in a conservation area or covered by a TPO. If it is, I would contact the LA first. If the tree is not protected I would get an Arboricultural survey done on the tree and if it is recommended for a fell, get a tree surgeon to fell it. If it is dangerous make sure the survey states it will cause damage to your property if it falls over. Do not get a tree surgeon that is in anyway linked the company that carried out the survey. I would not know how I stand legally with this but I would take the chance all things considered. The above statement is not a recommendation to you or anybody else.
  15. very good - great drumming - Stevie wonder groove
  16. Its a crown Gall, a benign growth caused by bacteria. Its That would look nice with the bark stripped off and polished up. Might need to season it first though .
  17. Are the wounds not open to fungal infection for up to 2 yrs? If so then perhaps not so important . The thinking on this may have changed now as this info was dredged from the vaults of my aging temporal lobes.
  18. how about that mott the hoople song- alder young dudes
  19. good one
  20. clogs clogs used to be made of Alder
  21. Traditionally Plums and Cherries were best pruned in mid summer as this was the driest time of the year, and less Silver leaf fungal spores are around.
  22. Do it now Dan, kicking them up the arse might get it sorted out quickly
  23. Experienced groundsman available for next week. South Cheshire - can travel Regards Paul

  24. Am I right in saying, this would make it better for intricate carving?
  25. You have some great skill there m8 - give up the day job and get a shit load of antlers and you wont be out of work. I want one making, its going to be something Celtic or Saxon or tree related eg an oak leaf pendant. Maybe an Anglo Saxon "tree of life" design
