    So, you'd prefer day 4 of tearing up the place, looting and making a nuisance. Ah yes, the far left would never do a BLM. Gotcha peaceful protesters would never throw things, steal, rob, murder, destroy would they
  2. GarethM
    It's in the enforcement section of that legislation.
  3. GarethM
    The legislation has always mentioned the RPA payments, which means agricultural not domestic. Effectively if you receive grants you have to play by the rules, if you don't receive any subs it falls under the standard bird nesting rules which apply to everyone.
  4. GarethM
    Neither are agricultural. Whilst preferably wait, the responsibility for ensuring you're not disturbing nesting birds is on you before cutting. Personally, face up your side if necessary. Then wait till later in the year before knocking it right back to under 5ft as a dense hedge is better habit.

    These days it'll be on a computer screen, the charge is for hard copy. Granted, you try speaking in person to someone in the planning department without taking up whistling in the wind, they rarely answer the phone

    Just saying the truth is more likely somewhere in the middle, all the 24/7 news makes a paper cut sound like blood soaked genocide. Elon can't work any longer for the government, some 100 day rule or other, give it a week and we'll see where the chips lay.
  7. GarethM
    Sounds like you've been reading the usual scumbags news outlets again. Thought you'd be more distracted by meagain doing her "pregnancy" twerking?.

    There's a height limit on fences, over a certain height it requires planning permission, something like 6ft.
  9. GarethM
    Talk about a rather vague response. Erm, yeah, but, no, but yeah but ?.
  10. GarethM
    Yeah that maybe, but the insurance company will no doubt try to reclaim that off the landowner in some length/expensive and convoluted legal wranglings which puts up everyone else's policies. So cut out the middleman and amicably sort things beforehand and save everyone agro, increased premiums and have a reasonable relationship with a neighbouring landowner = win win for everyone.

    I worked with a guy that had Fred the weatherman as a teacher, Altrincham Grammar if memory serves.
  12. GarethM
    Actually no I don't know what I'm doing, because its effectively either everyone is equally fair game or nobody is. Neither are sainted or beyond reproach or criticism either literally or hypothetically and serves as a good imaginary situation for those that believe they currently walk on water like saville did in the 60/70/80s. And by all accounts Fred was actually a bloody good geography teacher.
  13. GarethM
    WTF are you on about, I used the words imagine FFS. And why not read the full post for a little context of the argument!. It's reactionary Muppets like you that cause half the problems, whilst no doubt shouting silence is violence or words matter, yeah only when it suits your particular narrative. Whilst I respect your freedom of speech, it also equally gives me the right to say, don't be a Muppet.
  14. GarethM
    Probably overheating if it's on a stump grinder
  15. GarethM
    Yeah, was a bit of an odd one that. But in fairness, most of the "stars" were doing the same thing around the 60/70s, even Elvis and a 14 year old. Not condoning any of the shenanigans, even the music legend of John Peel has a tarnished reputation. He was diddled at boarding school from what I also remember.
  16. GarethM
    Exactly plain sight, exactly the same with Garry of the gitter. Shall we just imagine one of today's stars being accused, what about your sainted Gary lineker or the bicycle lover vine!. Basically it won't happen until you've fallen a few pegs down to a level where hordes of fans aren't going to riot, like Brand now the luvvies have abandoned him post BBC and C4.
  17. GarethM
    And, that proves what exactly oh publicity. Starmer was incharge of prosecutions around the time saville was publicly known for the diddly fiddling and chose not to investigate or even charge, plus all grooming gangs. Back in the height of his fame, there were rumours but he practically walked on water. Compare the legal treatment of saville to for example Fred the weatherman/Rolf Harris, makes you wonder why the difference. Maybe saville knew more about Starmer than we even want to know!.

    Tyre help

    GarethM replied to winchman's topic in Arb-Trucks

    Having fitted a few tyres over the years, it's definitely on the list of never again jobs if I can avoid it!. The lads that fitted the tractor tyres made it look like putting on a pair of trainers, almost effortless.

    Tyre help

    GarethM replied to winchman's topic in Arb-Trucks

    They're more of an online tyre store. Reasonable prices but last time I bought tyres for a tractor they were about the same price from a local mobile tyre guy including fitting.
  20. GarethM
    Whilst yes it is the neighbours tree, why not have a conversation and reach a compromise with them. Along the lines of I'm worried about this tree that could fall on my garage and might be a big insurance claim on your policy etc. Are you happy for me to pay to have it removed and keep all the timber ?.
  21. GarethM
    Maybe it's like homoeopathy, the more diluted the stronger they claim?.
  22. GarethM
    Can I get an IOU for a gallon of petrol and a couple of IQ points as I think I feel even reading these 7 pages have stunted my mental capacity!.
  23. GarethM
    Damn it, I was going to then suggest hand tools only. But maybe we're heading down a road where he'll have to chew through the timber like a beaver, health and safety and all that!.
  24. GarethM
    Maybe we should just suggest going battery powered 🙄
  25. GarethM
    Two free chisels and a lump of firewood. What you moaning for other than wanting it split and stacked aswell!.
