Laburnum.

Thought that was more of an “oh bollocks” emoji

Or he could have stood at 90 degrees to the falling line of the log. That is down to the climber, but someone got a GoPro for their birthday.

I’ll try.

Neg rigging on social media is the dick-swinging of choice for many. I would say someone will get hurt soon, but that groundy with crushed legs video has already done it, and I doubt he’s the only one.

There’s been a few posts over the years about getting the bigger saw up the tree. It can be a chew, especially at the end of the job when cramp and fatigue can be an issue. I usually lay the rope over the stump while pulling up, so at least if I want to pause for a rest all I have to do is place my hand on the rope to give me 30 seconds to re-gird my loins (or forearms in this case) I am all for making life easier, but how hard is it pull up a 70cc saw 30 or so feet?

As this is the radio thread.. Sunday afternoons Sound Of The 70s with Bob Harris is a gem of a show. Last couple of years (for obvious reasons) Johnny Walker was just phoning it in and whilst it was good, it stagnated a bit. But now Bob does it live, with great music picked by him and brilliant (true) stories about interviews with the stars of the the time. Clearly more for the oldies, but radio magic nevertheless.

Cherry seasons pretty fast. Split it, stack it under cover, be good for winter 25/26.

Wordle 1,420 4/6 ⬜🟨🟨⬜🟨 🟩🟩🟩⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩⬜🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 I’ve been thinking. I believe this thread should be more like the Making The News Today thread so from now on to spice things up a bit we’ll be hurling insults about. so… @Doug Tait what are you, thick or something? Got in in 6? I got it in 4! Ha ha ha! I actually know the creator of Wordle so don’t tell me. My Dad fought for Wordle. I have spent time on the Island of Wordle and spoken to the residents, and they completely agree with me.

Agreed Mark. But dues must be paid, mortgages must be repaid, weeks have to be filled and bloody awful hedges must be trimmed.

Well, in fairness it was £800 which was a good price. I never saw it though, it was stored at my nephew’s, who lives oop north. He is a climber, he took a shine to it and paid me what I paid Alex.
-
Tried to (iirc) but he wasn’t having it.
-
“Assiduously disinterested”! I literally bought a Hobbs off you!
-
Read that three times. Still could not understand it. Long story short you lowball when you make offers, sometimes it works?
-
S’pose. Still think 2k is fair. 2.5 with no VAT actually means you’re paying the VAT, just unknowingly to my mind.
-
£3199 ex Vat. So (assuming your VAT registered) £700 quid more that a 10 year old one. I think I’d find the 700 quid somewhere and get a brand new one. Dunno if the second hand one had a visor plate.

There was a 10 year old GRCS up for sale on a few FB sites a week or so ago. Bloke wanted £2500, they’re £3250 new! He probably didn’t pay much more than his asking price for it 10 years ago.

Cos it’s pretty as a picture now of course!

It’s basically rubbish, a self sown weed of a tree. Not massive roots. Take it out if it’s yours, to allay your worries, but I’d say you’ve nothing to worry about.
