  1. Andy, I understand you (and Dave) are lucky enough to have quite a few children, good for you both. Did you pay for their births (all the doctors, midwives etc) privately? Have they all been educated in private schools from infancy? Any time they are ill do you pay privately every penny for health care? Not trying to catch you out, you know where I’m going with this.
  2. I see a number of cities are vying to host Eurovision. Hope whoever wins has stocked up on monkey pox vaccine!
  3. Looks like they caught up with Salman Rushdie.
  4. Getting bogged down in debates about class is a regular waste of time in this thread.
  5. He was at the right place I guess.
  6. Seen that before, very good. Adrenaline got a bit too much for him there! Was in Hungary apparently.
  7. That failure was, if not predictable, then likely or foreseeeable by any tree inspection. SBD isn’t, no obvious faults, unlike that plane.
  8. Thats not summer branch drop, it’s an included union.
  9. September is always a big month here for restarting the year, more so than the Xmas break. The French are very seasonal in their habits, August means holidays, so non urgent work is not thought about.
  10. I said to client the other day when he said ‘stacked’ it’s important we get the terminology right ‘piled’ would be a better description of what’ll happen. Nice pics.
  11. I read the last line as something to do with Fred West.
  12. Some days it starts and runs ok, some days it just won’t start. I’m at the coast at the moment so won’t be back till early next week to check. I should really get it going again.
  13. Not really Mark, but thanks for chiming in. There might be an issue with the ignition unit, which has already been replaced once.
  14. Small 2 stroke engine being hammered day in, day out, will do it.
  15. My 2511 is a temperamental bitch, so much so I don’t bother with it anymore. As for sharpening the little picco chain I used the 4mm file, much easier, takes a lot off but at least it’s doable.
  16. In other words the disc gets smaller but stays as thick.
  17. ‘Unsympathetic heavy pruning’……on a lime? Some mistake surely? They love it.
  18. I was watching that on some channel or other recently, they cut that scene!
  19. Oh ye of little faith! Depends who gets involved, I enjoy the theoretical jousting between the legal savvy bods on here. Learn some stuff as well, as do others. Bloke’s been polite and asked some clear questions. Don’t get involved fair enough, but telling him to ‘go away’ seems churlish.
  20. No 10 looks like a tough wank, might be a clue there. Edit, looks like a midfield tank.
  21. Trans women are women! Outrageous that these brave Iranian Wimmin are being discriminated against. Mick. Preferred pronouns Zhe or Zhis
  22. Don’t be such a grouch Kevin, seems like reasonable questions.
  23. 1.5 tonne for the pine. 4.5 for the sycamore.
