Hornbeam.

I was six years old and no-one was badly hurt; why do you have to keep bringing this up?

There is an awful lot of nonsense on the internet but this has to be one of the greatest piles of toss ever spouted. It's just people! Every time you demean someone worse off than yourself a very rich person laughs and says well done. Anyhow. Gotta go. L8rs Y

Inspired by your post but not aimed at you.

I dunno; this bloke was pretty manly. .

You know when you're out on a job and some old bloke comes along and says,"gor blimey mate what you want all that kit for you're not going up everest ha ha ha why don't you just climb up there properly and cut it off why don't you just cut the whole tree down its only a small one you cud just cut it through at the base if you were any good ooh can you just take a branch off my sycamore before you go you're not going to chip all that are you that's a waste that is you should cut it up for fire wood that would be more useful. Gor blimey missus (to customer) I hope you're not paying these blokes too much money they're a right bunch of clowns they wouldn't need half that kit if they knew what they were doing me an ted cud of done that for a cup of tea and a slice of cake". AND THEN WALKS AWAY. Well Nigel (pronounced not to rhyme with g'rarj nor even garidge but with anchor) is to politics what that old bloke is to you. Happy to help Yourn

Yup! Still got it and twice a day it keeps perfect time.

Ha! Years back I picked up a lovely old clock - blue patterned enamal in a glass dome with whirly-gig escapement - which had been overwound so one night I got a mate to release the pawl/detent whilst I slowly released the key to slacken off the mainspring. Didn't quite go as planned. From experience, DON'T DRINK and MEND CLOCKS:lol: Happy days Yourn.

It's like Mornington Crescent; if you say Hornbeam you win and the game is over. ETA: South Kensington

Oooh! Get her!

Yep 2006 Vauxhall Corsa tdi. offside rear tyre has uneven wear and one of the brake lights will blow early next week. You can tell a lot from a stick. Er, twig. Happy Days YNH

Why didn't you sting him back? .

On another forum far, far away, someone said that the consultant should have got rid of the cancerous testicle when he/she had the opportunity.

Someone should tell him that, generally, 'disinterested' means 'impartial' not 'uninterested'. See here para 6.

Nah! Tweak 'is nipple and run like f... He hates that. ETA run

oh and with regard to ^^, i'd nip back and tell gengis khan to stop being a dickhead and stop killing lots of defencless men women and children with big swords: its not big and its not clever; its just being a dick.

nip back circa 0036; have a word with ponty pilate; tell him to let the hippy go free, you know, as its easter and stuff.

Sometimes I leave the fridge door open...just because I can. <looks at list> Fishing rods 166, fishing reels 164.:biggrin: I once counted up my books by [average number per foot] times [feet of shelf] Aroundabout 2200.:biggrin: Alone or loved up; married or single: be happy.

Hornbeam? Zoiks! Outta here...

Every lost job is another day's fishing.

Johnson and More; Collins Tree Guide and Philips have got to be tops. Mitchells Field Guide can still hold its own and should be on everyone's shelf. If you want Conifer geek heaven look out for a cheap copy of Mitchell's Conifers in the British Isles Forestry Comm Guide 33. The Hamlyn Guides are always evcellent and oft overlooked - would be my choice for a glove box book. Treat yourself to a matching set of the Trees Wild Flowers and the Birds editions, you won't regret it. Keith Rushforths Easy Tree Guide is also very good having full page pics of the mature tree as well as details of foliage etc. Going by some of their others I would imagine the Dorling K would be excellent: I can't think how I've missed that one - I'm just of to Ebay now too put that right. There is a Macdonalds guide. It is crammed with bad pics and short decriptions BUT it has a lot of forrin and unusual trees in amongst and so makes a good addition. It also attributes 'Balm of Gilliam' to Balsam Fir rather than Balsam Poplar which I've seen nowhere else! With regard to somewhere^^: No! not having books is weird [and tantamount to neglect if not cruelty if you have children]. Happy Days Yourn
