  1. It is definitely an alien standing there!
  2. Since it is a Thanksgiving quiz and the date for that is November 25th, I will reveal all with a photo at 9,00 pm on that Thursday
  3. ps I am knackered and going to sleep now
  4. You are doing well in the class! I would like to donate a prize, I thought that this might raise a smile Warning May Start Talking About Chainsaws Mug Funny Arborist | Etsy WWW.ETSY.COM Warning May Start Talking About Chainsaws Mug An ideal gift for someone who loves working with trees and wood - and... When do you want me to post the answer?
  5. The face in the bottom photo looks a bit like Jimmy Edwards (A comment lost on younger arbtalkers!)
  6. I am not transphobic so I do not worry about how you dress!
  7. We have now a range from 90kg to 500kg! You lot remind me of me when I was being scolded by my maths teacher at school for wild guessing!
  8. That is half a ton! Bit on the heavy side!
  9. Well c’mon topchypples, start the ball rolling with a guess!
  10. Just started to slab the Elm, which is about 14 feet long, 4 inches thick and averaging about 42 inches width Tree died of Dutch Elm a couple of years ago and has been down for a year in the yard in the open. There is a weighing scale above the grab which weighs 25 kilos
  11. Been nice warn sunny days here in the East Midlands when I released mine. Might they not find another Winter home?
  12. Still finding at least three queens per wood box (one ton potato box loose packed stored in open fronted shed) All caught and released
  13. They do seem to be very good tyres
  14. A massive bit of virtue signalling here in this photo of my bike wheel that has become so worn with everyday use that the rim has become so thin that it has broken away from the main wheel! I still do not think I am going to do much to help the greenhouse gases as I probably expel as much CO2 and maybe other noxious gases from my body as the Kawasaki Mule on the same round trip!
  15. Are you saying that Boris is a Count?
  16. You just hit the nail on the head Difflock!
  17. Put an infertility drug into manufactured sugar and tell everyone that it’s there. That would kill two birds with one stone and be voluntary. A good start to address both noise and gas pollution as well as use of non renewables, would be to ban fireworks worldwide.
  18. Save the Planet: Have Fewer Kids | Live Science WWW.LIVESCIENCE.COM Statistical study finds having children has long-term environmental impact.
  19. Obviously a member of the Carabinieri, complete with his arrestor cable!
  20. I see now, but I do not find it very intuitive. I was thinking weight rather than volume.
  21. I must be thick, or perhaps my brain is loose stacked! Surely the vertical columns are the wrong way round and that in the top line "Solid m3" and "Loose m3" need to be reversed??
  22. Agree about the lack of bugs on the car windscreen, even on the 186 mile journey in the sunshine from here to Oxford in late September. However in October there were thousands of midges gathering in the corn store eaves and ridge which had been warmed by the sun on the metal sheeting. Quite a few butterflies, a very late Brimstone, but hardly a moth to be seen. Queen wasps everywhere and I was buzzed by a massive queen hornet yesterday.
  23. It’s Holly Willoughgobooby and she’s forgotten her bra!
  24. Seem to have done very well this year. Every load I bring in from the wood box seems to release one if not two and having been stung on my little finger after picking up a log ( why does that seem to hurt more than most other parts of the hand!) I bought a long handled spider catcher from Amazon as I cannot concentrate on the paperwork with them buzzing around. Thoroughly recommended!
