  1. Waiting to get on the ferry back to France. Home time.
  2. Funnily enough there is, from a few years back. The guy makes the cut and gets out with the ladder before the other guys pull it over.
  3. Clients are always wanting instant hedging for ‘privacy’ like anyone gives a toss what they get up to.
  4. Hornbeam thrives in the clay of the Weald.
  5. Don’t worry about the m-tronic stuff, it works great
  6. I had a blown up saw rebuilt once, blew up again a month later. Depending on your budget and how much you use the saw, I’d buy a new one.
  7. I doubt if that concert will ever materialise, or even if it’s really being planned. The usual mish-mash of half truths, omissions and flat out lies The article itself is an attack piece.
  8. Yeah, changed a bit these days.
  9. Historically, though not exclusively, climbing and tree work was often the last chance saloon for young men unsuitable through behaviour, education or other reasons, to make a living doing something approaching a ‘trade’
  10. ‘Narcissism is increasing’ Who says?
  11. Different strokes and all that.
  12. I had one of those, trachycarpus fortunii I think. I can’t see much hope for it personally. Get another one planted.
  13. I have a nephew diagnosed as autistic, the mother was over the moon about it, absolutely no effing way he was. All grown up now, doing great, no talk of autism.
  14. Dunno. 75% of measles cases in the West Midlands according to BBC.
  15. The average age of mothers is 3 years older than in 1991. 27.7 in 91 compared to 30.9 now. so there’s that.
  16. Big laurel hedge reduction. Avant doing the biz. 25 cube of chip out of this job already. More to come.. 303cef17-4307-4191-9b12-aef245eb0ed4.mp4
  17. They always were Steve, they just weren’t diagnosed. I went to school with autistic kids, we called them weird or whatever. Now they have a name that’s all.
  18. It was linked to autism by people who were wrong.
  19. Saw on the googlebox that the Indian and Pakistani communities don’t get their kids vaxxed cos they think it contains pork or something. Lots of clusters in the West Midlands…nudge nudge.
  20. We hear that side to it for sure. But Russia has lots of men and control over the narrative internally. It’s a war of attrition now, as you said, there’s no movement in the lines. Glad I’m not there!
  21. I think he’ll just wash his hands of it, withdraw funding, leave Ukraine with no option but to accept terms with the loss of territory. Russia claims a win, Ukraine joins NATO. Onto the next one.
  22. On Twitter the Russians are very bullish. Trying to paint this as them against everyone, they took particular umbrage at German tanks being used the the Ukrainian forces. Using that to link this conflict (historically speaking) to WW11, painting themselves as fighting fascism etc. They’re deep in denial, no telling what they might do. Imho they’re hanging in for a Trump victory.
  23. I read a lot about this stuff (on the internet) doesn’t mean I know any more than anyone else of course, just that I don’t waste my time doing anything meaningful or constructive when I finish work early, just doomscroll till the wife comes home. Anyway, one thing I have learnt, is that Poland is armed to the teeth with modern weapons and aircraft, has historical trust issues with Russia and is fully prepared to engage should it spread. Just an observation.
