I remember someone protesting against motorway speeds. They travelled in the "fast" lane at 70mph. They were prosecuted for obstruction.

Sorry Rob I didn't realise it was the same tree. Sorry if my post came across a bit arsey too, wasn't meant to be, even I thought it was after I read it. I will try and see the Gloucester tree and thanks for the tip. Thanks for the offer of dropping you a line too Browncow, a bit of a whistle stop tour with the missus so probably a bit rushed. Appreciated all the same. I shan't be climbing though, I go dizzy if I stand on the pavement too long!

Do you own the ones in those pics? I own the one in mine. That's if you can own a tree, I didn't plant it and the fella that did was gone long before my time. All being well the tree will be there long after I am forgotten. I am the current custodian is maybe better. In October I am off to Perth and WA, I hear there's some big trees out there worth a look. My fave tree(s) in Oz so far has to be the scribbly gum. Just love them.

It was raining honeydew under there

A close friend/cousin/partner dropped down dead the other side of the hedge. The extreme tool he was using at the time.....draining rods. I wouldn't think twice about working on my own with a chainsaw or anything else. Except maybe draining rods. As said somewhere above, play safe and you will be OK. As also said somewhere above, it won't be what you are expecting that gets you anyway. Look up Baz Luhrmann and see what he says will unexpectedly blindside you at 4pm on an idle Tuesday.

My usual routine is to get to work at 8am and be home shortly after 5pm. I am quite happy not to eat anything at all until I get home, and don't eat before leaving. Coffee when I get up and a couple of brews during the day, sometimes tea sometimes coffee. Don't feel hungry either. Stuff myself stupid when I get home mind

Some kindling

Must be a month or more since that container went. Thanks for the heads up but it isn't a new thing, I'd say you need to be constantly on your guard.
-
I have a sneaking suspicion it is so things don't get lost. An envelope may "disappear" somewhere, you would struggle to smuggle a great big box anywhere.
-
The firing pin I bought is made out of hardened steel. I'm not sure how you could damage it in an envelope
-
Some of us remember two man crosscut saws. Won't be going back to that any time soon either.
-
I think I can beat that. I ordered a new firing pin a while ago. I was a bit dismayed when I was told the postage was going to be £8.50 It took longer to arrive than expected, but then I found out it was coming from America. I guessed that explained the cost. When it arrived I couldn't believe the size of the parcel. :eek: The firing pin is the tiny black item in the pic. Not sure about the eco friendly claims of the packaging material either. It had fallen to the bottom of the box anyway (as you would expect) so an envelope would have been just fine
-
I would cut willow off at the ground, it will shoot again. If you wanted more than that just push some straight bits in the ground, they will grow too.
-
No fire lit tonight and it's plenty warm enough. Probably the first time this year. There have been other nights with no fire but it wasn't warm enough.
-
Sounds good to me. I am a professional rhubarb grower.
-
A big glass with a bottle of orange WKD tipped in it too works wonders for me. Probably not good advice though. Take up fishing
-
Big house here, no gas, no oil. All cooking, heating and hot water is log powered. It's the future! Just keep planting trees as quick as you can.

Arbtalk Members Reponses to Stihl's Online Policy
Peasgood replied to Honey Bros's topic in General chat
Sorry I am a bit late to the party, I didn't take much notice and assumed it was just the saws that were face to face. Didn't realise it meant everything else as well. Seriously? That is just mental! Someone should explain to them what happened to Comet for not being online. -
Two lit tonight. It's cold!

I'm an iggly, I'm an iggly, what iggly am I ?
Peasgood replied to David Humphries's topic in Ecology
I would have said wind damage. -
Not true really. Many chemicals are withdrawn because it does not make financial sense to the producers to put them through the approval scheme when it needs renewing. They are then banned from use, not because they do any harm but because the paperwork to prove that in triplicate is too expensive.
-
Aliette might work but I don't think you can get it now and it would be illegal anyway. Phosphoric acid for plants is worth looking into, google it.
-
Spent many a drunken hour in that pub but can't tell you anything about the tree. Don't remember much about anything else there either!
-
Judging by the side of main roads, dual carriageways etc, if you made ragwort notifiable it would cure any unemployment in the country!
-
You did ok mate, don't beat yourself up.
