  1. Not counting tyres, depreciation on the pick up, insurance on the pickup…. You’re on minimum wage.
  2. Sven was a good guy, gave us a 5:1 away to Germany, and generally did a good job. And yes, pulled some top class crumpet.
  3. In the early days over here, I’d sometimes go up to 2 hours for a one-off job priced on photos. Trouble is I would struggle to do any the the next day I was so knackered. Your day seems unsustainable to me.
  4. Wordle 1,164 5/6 ⬜⬜⬜⬜🟩 ⬜⬜⬜⬜🟩 ⬜⬜🟩⬜🟩 🟩🟨🟩🟨🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
  5. It looks to me as if the owner is already addressing the issues with the treework that’s been done. There are other factors like soil type and when the house was built that will influence the degree to which the trees will affect the building. From what I can see that house will be quite a few shekels to buy. Why not get an arboricultural consultant in on top of the normal survey?
  6. The horse chestnut is as good as dead. The copper beech close to the house appears to have been heavily reduced in one photo. Can’t see the holm oak.
  7. Interesting info thanks.
  8. Slight derail Rich. Wheres that article about you in the Forestry Journal? It came up on some platform or other, then before I got a chance to read it it disappeared behind a paywall.
  9. Went to Notting Hill Carnival in 87 ish. Had a good time as it went, but they pulled my mate for drink driving and found cannabis on all of us, so down the nick we went. I got the idea the coppers were over the moon at such an easy, compliant group of white boys to finish their shift. We all got a caution, the driver passed his breathalyzer in the station, so we all got 2 hour long walk back to the car, through the darkening streets with burning barrels of pallet wood surrounded by big menacing looking fellas. We weren’t hassled though, one interaction with a huge drunk black bloke ended with him just wanting a light for his cigarette. We were lucky I guess. A day this country boy won’t forget.
  10. Wordle 1,163 3/6 🟨⬜⬜⬜🟨 🟩🟨🟩🟨🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 nice.
  11. Wordle 1,162 5/6 ⬜⬜🟨⬜⬜ ⬜🟨⬜🟨⬜ 🟨⬜⬜🟩⬜ 🟨🟩🟨🟩⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
  12. I think it more likely the retailers themselves dictate the protocol. The last thing they need is injured employees suing them. Or any ne’er do well taking a hiding from an over enthusiastic shop worker and looking for compo.
  13. @Ty Korrigan you and ‘non interference’ Never going to work was it?
  14. Habitat poles is best. Stem remnant has echoes of a failed sex change operation. Snag is nonsense. Monolith is ridiculously dramatic.

  16. Hi Dean is this still available? And whereabouts are you?
  17. Wordle 1,160 2/6 ⬜🟩⬜🟨🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Bit of luck, bit of skill.
  18. Wordle 1,159 X/6 ⬜⬜⬜🟨⬜ ⬜⬜🟨⬜⬜ ⬜🟩🟨⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟨⬜⬜ 🟩🟩⬜⬜🟨 🟩🟩⬜🟩🟩 ironic really.
  19. We settled on Sersha, this seemed acceptable.
  20. Went to a wedding recently with some of our Irish family there. We spent most of the evening before they arrived practicing how to say Saoirse.
  21. Never heard of them.
  22. Bit like Cochran/Corcoran.
  23. Do-na-hee. Like Mal Donaghy, the footballer.
