Habit: Sub-fastigate. Check. Leaf: as per P.canescens, Grey Poplar, but with extended central Lobe. Check. [All Black and Balsam Pops, and hybrids thereof, can be discounted due to their having simple geometric leaf shapes with finely toothed edges and no sub-lobes or indentations.] It was raining.

Nicking that! Thankyou.

Done.

And the winner is... Well so far but looks the part, a blood gert hole in the fuel pipe! Well big pinhead sized hole but pipe is hardened cracked and perished just below the grommit. Cheers GK (and Bob) very much appreciated.

Hmm! Hang off a rope or hang on a rope? Gotta go. Cheers.

No worries. Happy days. YNH

Didn't occur to you that it might be a pun huh? Passes four humer round are weigh.

Yep! As a terminal pendant who steps on the grollies of anyone fool enough to use epicentre when they mean centre within my earshot (but who has given up on and admits that decimate is a lost cause) I just want to say that having got to the first picture, I was very glad to see that the young'uns now use 'severed' to mean something other than what it used to:001_smile:

Cheers GK Must admit I had been thinking, 'what if the fuel pipe was split; what symptoms would I see?' but hadn't considered the other pipe - so I shall have a look. Just bin looking at some 'sploded diags - that filter looks tiny! Looks like I take off the top cover, gasket, diaphragm, filter. What could go wrong! I'm ok with bike stuff but this is a bit out of my comfort zone but I shall give it a go. I'm quite capable: all I lack is confidence. Wish me luck; I'm going in.

Cheers bob Well cos fuel is ovs getting to the carb I ruled out fuel pipe probs and cos it runs I ruled out electric probs. I am at a loss. I will try it with fuel cap off...er loosened...and see what haps

And while Lionel Blair tries to pull off Twelve Angry Men in under two minutes and Una Stubbs looks on in wide eyed amazement, tell me what you think of this. Got a little old Dolmar 100; handy little thing, pocket sized, handy for fighting with rhodoredendron and the like. But... Choke on, pull, pull, pull brm, choke off, pull, pull brm brm brm: fine: for ten seconds, then stops. As many times as I care to repeat the above, the above repeats. Tis as if 'choke on, pull, pull' delivers just enough fuel to the carb to run for ten seconds but no more gets there after that. Turned in low screw a tweak and...Wow sexy chainsaw noise neee eee eee ow... for ten seconds! Turned out low screw a tweak and dobber dobber dob dob...for ten(ish) seconds. Trying to restart without the choke fails but choke on pull pull and always away. Any throttlage and it dies. Any ideas?

Yep, +1 for Cryptomeria japonica cv Elegans. Tis illustrated at P87 of Mitchell's 'Conifers in the British Isles' and matches well. A google image search of 'Cryptomeria japonica Elegans.foliage' also has matches.

Datura/thorn-apple. About as poisonouse as you can get. Take off. Get into orbit. Nuke the

I remember working for one old dear and whilst I was having tea she was regaling me with tales of her life in India during the last days of the Raj and how she was taken up the Kyber by a regiment of Light Dragoons.

Like duh! 'Light' is spelt wrongly.

Speak to your dealer. Not that one the one you bought the hedge -cutter from. <disclaimer>I don.t know whether this is bullsh sh sh shine I'm just passing it on<disclaimer> Apparently...theres more ethanol in petrol than there used to be and in the near future there will be even more and the ethanol is eating up seals and diaphrams and stuff and mitox kit is suffering from this. Is what I was told. Would welcome informed opinion. Happy days YNH

Mix some honey or jam with water and make a trail for them to follow. For top Dad Points trace out you daughter's name for them to follow!

+1more for walking backwards to get a good finish.

Ripley Doctrine. Take off, get into orbit, nuke it to effenbach.

Can't help with what to use in your situation but I had a load of rhody and laurel to do and was able to use glyphosate. And I haven't read the whole thread so forgive me if I repeat what has been said before. BUT The big thing I found was when to use it. Over a period of time and after taking many notes and photos I found that after cutting back in spring and spraying new growth in early summer, that new growth dies back but is replaced. But if after cutting back, new growth is sprayed in the autumn it will be gone for good. Now. More detail. I did a test section one year in sept-oct just as the summer ended and the weather cooled, By end december this was all just brown sticks. Success! I treated the rest in the way same the year after; again at the end of sept and again there was just brown sticks remaining at end december. There has been no subsequent regrowth on either section to date. In the interests of completeness: After spraying the main area there was a very slight shower of misty drizzly rain, so be safe I sprayed the whole lot a second time later in the week (4 days later) rather than wait a year to see If thats what I should have done. I am confident that one application would have been sufficient given that there was no re-growth in the test area but I wanted to be sure given that a fail would entail waiting until the next autumn and possibly having another year's regrowth to deall with. Hope this of some help. YNH:001_smile:

Cellophane. Beautiful, just beautiful.

1. Get hold of a hard-back note-book for field notes. Keep it in your day-bag. When you stop for tea ask again, "What was that thing you said earlier?" and make a note*. Even if it's just the difference 'tween Leylandii and Lawson. 2. When you ask, in your quest for learnage, "Why don't you do it like <this that I've seen others do>" Make sure it will be heard as "Why is <this t.i.s.o.d.> the wrong way to do <that what you are now doing>." and not "Nah! mate you doing that wrong" *Captain Cuttle: "When found; make a note.":001_smile: Happy days YNH

PS re^ Sorry martwiz, i should have read the thread through first - just the first page might have helped!

Funny old world and all that. [1] Had been strimming the f - what's your swear policy here? at my usual it's encouraged as long as it's inventive:001_smile: much fun. Any way I was blatting some greenery to bits down by a lake that I fish at with a strimmer - spelt of parsley - not the strimmer, the greenery - but was ovs not cow-parsley - more succulent watery even. Got home looked it up - looked in another book - and another - looked online - still trying to convince myself it might have been something other than hemlock water dropwort - and failing. Thankfully had lots of ppe on. But made some notes and carried on. [2] Just the other day I noticed I had the Hamlyn book of trees, the Hamlyn book of wild-flowers but not the Hamlyn book of birds in amongst a somewhat extensive shelf-full of I.D. books collected since childhood; so had ordered a copy off e-bay which arrived yesterday and being stuck home today was looking through it when I noticed the wheatears. Why? You may ask well go on then <mumbled 'ok, why?' from back of arbtalk forum> Cos the water dropworts are Oenanthe sp. eg hemlock water dropwort is Oenanthe crocata. And the wheatears are Oenanthe sp. also. eg 'ordinary' wheatear is Oenanthe oenanthe. And if either of these two events had happened at any other time I wouldnot have been able to connect the two. And that is why I posted this little tale in this particular thread! Happy Days YNH

...and referring to the pines as the Pinus group, or an individual tree as a Pinus, and prounouncing it Pee-nus, can lead to much mirth. Just sayin' like. Happy days. YNH
