    Received my Lightmyfire knife this afternoon. Thank you Overlander for donating the prize and supporting the raffle.
  2. WirralBoy
    Is it new? (we know the value of that) Has it been worn by Mendy Plogs? (If so its priceless)

    Jon, take no notice of Stubby . . . . . . . . . . . . he's talking silly. There's more than 100 billion birds in the world. There's approximately 320 thousand aircraft in the world. And, who knows how many supermen there might be. You keep feeding the birds Jon and ignore that naughty Stubby who is trying to misinform you.

    There's a lot of people posting in this thread talking a lot of b*ll*cks. Yes, Private Parking Companies can't issue 'fines'. However, they can issue 'penalties' for contravening the terms of parking or for trespass. They can, and often do, pursue these to court if you ignore them. My advice is never to ignore a private parking notice. Further advice is to visit a site such as "Pepipoo" ( FightBack Forums )where you will get some good information rather than that codswallop posted by some in this thread. Another titbit. Aldi will always ensure that a private parking notice is cancelled if you provide them with a copy of your shopping receipt, or credit card or bank statement. Trust me. I have had 4 tickets recently for (senior moments) inputting the wrong registration number into their system. This is who to contact for results : - [email protected] Definitely never ignore a parking charge.

    Mr Tree Kangaroo, You seem to be very impatient. Four hours after your original post you post again saying "no ones interested". Give people a chance to read your offer. Also, your stated location is 'Lancashire'. That covers approximately 2,000 square miles. Try to be a little more precise. It all helps.

    Silky, two pages ago you were on the subject of Spiderman. My grandchildren call me Spiderman. Not because I have super powers, but because I struggle to get out of the bath.

    Kevin, you are too subtle for most. I'm just waiting for someone to say that they will drop the tree and cart away all the leavings for the price of a cup of coffee and two sticky buns. More correctly I hope to make clear to all those who have kindly PM'd me, that my daughter will pay a fair price to whoever will do a fair job. I know that the majority of arborists are probably honest and hard working guys and gals. It is unfortunate that Joe Public (in this instance my daughter) has stumbled across a couple of p1ss takers. I shall report back and hope to have some better photographs of the tree in bits on the ground or going through a shredder. However, I expect that will start a further discussion concerning the merits of whichever shredder is used.

    Some of you guys are genuinely funny. Some are just p1ss takers. I know, and most of you will know, that a simple eucalyptus dismantle, isn't going to cost £1,100. I also know that you can't get a cherry picker anywhere near that tree. My request was for a genuine and honest member of this site to do a job for my daughter for an honest and realistic price. Thankfully, I have received many responses from Arbtalk members within striking distance of Bury. I will reply to them individually. And, yes, please excuse the sepia pictures. My son-in-law needs to update his photographic skills.
  9. WirralBoy
    That is about as realistic as the guy who will do it from a cherry picker. It would take him a week to build it in the back garden.
  10. WirralBoy
    You could deliver me some logs on the Wirral. West Kirby (Newton) However, as the title of this thread suggests, the tree dismantle request is in BURY, LANCS.

    My daughter would like some sensible person to dismantle a eucalyptus tree in her back garden. Idiots need not apply. She has asked two local "tree contractors". One said "no problem. £1,100". The other said "I'll have it down in no time with a cherry picker". Now, there is no access for a cherry picker. Its in her back garden. Access via an alley alongside the house. Reasonable size drop zone on lawn. Tree is approx 30' to 40'. Tea, coffee, sticky buns and toilet facilities available. Pm me if interested.

    "We are based in South Shropshire" That is your first clue.

    Oh dear John. You do have some exciting adventures. Can't wait for the next one. :lol::lol:
  14. WirralBoy
    Well, that explains that then John. You're all set for the winter then.

    Hic . . . . lager does funny things to me. However, it has never prompted me to climb a tree and carve it. Hic. :001_smile:
  16. WirralBoy
    There is a reference to this carving on Pinterest. You need a login to see the detail. It was, apparently, carved from a dead Cedar by a sculptor, painter and poet named Rudy Rahme in Bcharre, Northern Lebanon. Clever piece of work.
  17. WirralBoy
    You may wish to do a bit more checking. That (Mountain View) is the home of Google.

    Just to put this (very short) thread to bed, I would like to thank a fellow Wirral member, Wandering Bear, for presenting me with this : -
  19. WirralBoy
    Mr Fox, You obviously love your technology and gadgets. However, I am sure that your latest acquisition costs much more than my £6.50 per month i-phone. I hope that you can justify the expense.

    Hi all, I have been asked by my son to provide him with something that is beyond my capabilities. I would be obliged if one of the more learned woodsmiths would knock up a small side table and send it to me flat-packed. See drawing. It need not be a work of art. Rustic is the instruction. Needs no finishing. Son has the "magic finish". (Or, Son says ) I will, subject to an agreed quotation, pay all costs involved, prior to posting. My grateful thanks to whoever may accept this task.
  21. WirralBoy
    Why not suggest (politely) to them that they would be better off offering their deal on FleaBay.
  22. WirralBoy
    What a strange question. I guess that, depending on the location and ownership of the tree and the land on which it grows, you could face a civil action for trespass. There could also be a situation where you could face criminal action for nuisance, civil disorder or anything else the authorities could dream up. Are you thinking of becoming another Swampy?

    Lyme disease

    WirralBoy replied to Lucan's topic in General chat

    Tick bites can be very dangerous. Quite often it is not apparent that you have been bitten. Five years ago I arrived back in the UK after spending two weeks in San Diego, California. Two days later I was suffering from fever and all my joints were ballooning. I was hospitalised for four days whilst the docs tried to discover what was the cause of my problem. It was a lucky fluke that led to a young doctor, who had studied in the USA, recognising the symptoms and diagnosed Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever. They later found the site of a tick bite on my elbow. Most unpleasant and took about two months to recover. If you are really interested, here's a Wiki article:- Rocky Mountain spotted fever - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    The two main recommended ones are Husqvarna and Stihl. Opinions here are divided between the two.
