  1. My guess would be to prevent the risk of regrowth above the hollow on a manky pop, that then doesn’t get revisited in a timely fashion. however I would want the consultant to spec the reattachment method. I’m insured to cut them down not glue them back up again!
  2. Was it a good walk about eggs?

    AN IRISH GHOST STORY This story happened a while ago in Dublin , and even though it sounds like an Alfred Hitchcock tale, it's true. John Bradford, a Dublin University student, was on the side of the road hitchhiking on a very dark night and in the midst of a big storm. The night was rolling on and no car went by. The storm was so strong he could hardly see a few feet ahead of him. Suddenly, he saw a car slowly coming towards him and stopped. John, desperate for shelter and without thinking about it, got into the car and closed the door.... only to realize there was nobody behind the wheel and the engine wasn't on. The car started moving slowly. John looked at the road ahead and saw a curve approaching. Scared, he started to pray, begging for his life. Then, just before the car hit the curve, a hand appeared out of nowhere through the window, and turned the wheel. John, paralyzed with terror, watched as the hand came through the window, but never touched or harmed him. Shortly thereafter, John saw the lights of a pub appear down the road, so, gathering strength; he jumped out of the car and ran to it. Wet and out of breath, he rushed inside and started telling everybody about the horrible experience he had just had. A silence enveloped the pub when everybody realized he was crying ... And wasn't drunk. ... Suddenly, the door opened, and two other people walked in from the dark and stormy night. They, like John, were also soaked and out of breath. Looking around, and seeing John Bradford sobbing at the bar, one said to the other.... : " Look Paddy....there's that idiot that got in the car while we were pushing it."

  6. The classic car world uses walnut shell to blast bodywork with, apparently it doesn’t leave loads of dents like sand does.

    With pay at pump fast becoming the new norm we are being conditioned to pay in advance. Our local Asda garage is now card only at pump, the office is closed indefinitely!
  8. IMO no you don’t every picker I’ve used has always just run out of reach at some point
  9. Blunt? Not evan close, you could ride bare arse to London on that and not cut yourself!
  10. The lighter one will be over weight for smaller towing trucks at 2.4t plus trailer so you will need the full fat 3.5t towing capacity so you may as well be full 3.5t
  11. No one has ever said “I wish my mewp was a meter smaller”

    I asked a pretty, young, homeless woman if I could take her home, and she said yes with a big smile. The look on her face soon changed when I walked off with her cardboard box.

    THIS IS A FRIGHTENING STATISTIC, PROBABLY ONE OF THE MOST WORRYING IN RECENT YEARS. 25% of the women in this country are on medication for mental illness. That's scary. It means 75% are running around untreated.

    A woman is cooking eggs in the kitchen when her husband comes running in... Immediately, he sees the eggs and gasps in horror. "Be careful! CAREFUL! Put in some more butter! Oh, my GOSH!" The wife, startled at her husband's violent reaction, dashes to the fridge to get some butter. "You're cooking too many at once. TOO MANY! Turn them! TURN THEM NOW!" The wife, concerned by the status of her husband's mental state, forgets about the butter and goes running to the eggs. "WE NEED BUTTER! Are you CRAZY??? Where are we going to get the butter? They're going to stick! HURRY!" The wife runs to the fridge. "CAREFUL about the eggs! CAREFUL. You NEVER listen to me when you're cooking! Never! Turn them quickly! Oh not that quickly, don't you know how to cook? Are you insane? Turn the DAMN EGGS" At this point, the wife starts crying, since she has no idea what to do. She gasps "What is WRONG with you? I know how to cook eggs." The husband simply smiles, "I just wanted to show you how it feels when I'm driving with you in the car".

  21. Air flow is key. We have seasoned in cube m bags as long as you allow air flow through the stack and the rain off you will be fine. (I may have just been lucky) Stack them tight and get them wet you may have problems.

    We were much the same, about mile and quarter from bud stop to the farm. Got dropped there most mornings but walked back most days from about 7 year old. We used to ride in a trailer as the lift arms wouldn’t take 3 of us easily it never fails to amaze me how a lot of tree folk had similar practical upbringings

I also remember lifting the mats in the back and watching the road go by through the holes in the floor! Arr the good old days 🤣
  24. Re check it’s the right belt, there doesn’t look to be any slack for the tensioner to take up. If there is no slack they won’t last long!
