    I understand why you feel perturbed. Your pride and joy, something you’ve gone in debt for, that heralds a new start, let you down on its big opening night. Hopefully just a hiccup.

    If it’s hydraulic oil (most likely) it’s likely a poorly done up pipe that QC failed to pick up. Not the end of the world. What model Först is it?

    There’s never been a better time for a young man to travel the world as a tree worker, but don’t hang about! Who knows what’s round the corner?

    I knew Lucy from the early in my career. As you say always cheerful, helpful and knowledgeable. I learnt of her passing from a friend in the industry late last year. Very sad, still young. RIP.

    It’s usually a laugh, better when Terry Wogan was taking the piss behind the mike.

    I remember watching this on telly., I’d have been 12. At the time I was pissed off that Britain didn’t win. Legend has it they were supposed to sing it in Swedish, but switched to English on the night, and the rest as they say..

    Calm down etc..

    It used to be a joke, and it was good as a joke, laugh at Johnny Foreigner taking it seriously. Me and the wife watched it every year until the voting started (which coincides with alcohol levels reaching critical) Now, God help us, it’s getting serious. My misgivings. 1: Too many messages, lbgtqt stuff, gushy inclusivity blah blah blah. 2: The Ukraine thing, I’m all for supporting them, but let’s not use it as a propaganda tool, thankfully Zelensky won’t be allowed to make a video appearance. 3: Too many Scousers on TV.

    If there’s one thing I cannot abide it’s nuisance noise. I don’t mind a dog barking for a bit, not for hours, or when it’s clearly in need of attention. A saw going for a couple of hours to prepare firewood (it’s often bought in metre lengths here and has to be cut) Two stroke strimmers, hedge cutters etc, for the duration of a domestic job. But inconsiderate noise by inconsiderate people really grinds my gears.

    Musical differences.

    Plant a flowering cherry. Planted this in 2007/8.

    Lawson cypress.

    Agreed. I use ratchet straps on the POW for light rigging.

    It’s easier to run stuff.

    When I did the same it was a noggin 1” diameter by 2” long, I was reducing a beech over the roof, it was an upright piece, and I thought I’ll just feather it through and stop the saw then grab the piece, but it caught the chain and span off the end of the bar like a suitcase off a possessed luggage carousel. I watched the arc of its fall in horror like Gollum watching his precious falling into Mount Doom, then disappear into the shed through the hole it had created, like the ring being swallowed by the lava. Moral of the story… Yes, as mentioned, use boards. Gareth is an idiot.

    I did exactly that, tried to find the same sheet, couldn’t, tried to patch it up, couldn’t. Turned out to be asbestos. Insurance claim, whole roof got replaced.

    Acacia, spiky, difficult to kill, awkward, quite useful in many ways, but smells of piss.

    These are photos of paintings though right?
