  1. The reason why the money is relatively high to do jobs like this, is because fook ups can happen, if there was no risk there’d be no reward, if there’s jeopardy, then there has to be failure. Back in the day there were no camera phones, so stuff went unrecorded (thankfully) Be grateful stuff like this happens, it focuses the public’s mind when it come to choosing who they want to dismantle that big tree over their house, and give you some ammo if you’re more expensive than the other guy.
  2. Oh yeah, saw that as well. No idea what went on there.
  3. Habitat Dave.
  4. There is a rope on it, from the truck.
  5. Saw the new angle on FB (what I presume you tried to post) Saw trapped quite early into the back cut. Maybe a hollow centre? he started the other side too close to the hinge and when he got to this side it was all that was holding it. looked like a fair bit of back/side lean.
  6. It was a bold fell considering the targets. Pure speculation of course, but I’m guessing that the faller was standing the other side to the direction of the fall, and cut through the hinge. Lot of buttress roots on a lombardy. Can result in a tendancy to be unaware of where the end of the bar is.
  7. So do lots of firms/people,
  8. In fairness, this is not Bartletts. Maybe it’s time to let that drop in this thread.
  9. Saw that on FB, very lucky indeed.
  10. Yeah, I wouldn’t bother too much with a pop.
  11. Not in my experience. post a pic, I do loads of lapsed and maidens (been up a few lapsed maidens as well!) I’ll tell you what I think.

  13. If in doubt, crush some green stuff between your fingers, pineapple sweetness=WRC/thuja Bitter=Lawson Looks like a variegated Lawson to me.
  14. About what?
  15. Well, I suppose it’s up to you. Plenty of work in Oz at the moment. A lot depends on how you feel you’re progressing where you are atm.
  16. A person who has had and continues to have considerable influence on global attitudes and thinking.
  17. No it doesn’t.
  18. Where’d I say that?
  19. She may be a fake, she may be a MB, she may be many things, but (and this was my point) her activism has skewed public opinion to a more green agenda. I know that anything that isn’t hyper-critical of her brings out certain sections like hornets swarming out of a nest, but it doesn’t change her effect. I will draw a comparison with Nigel Farage, often vilified, questionable if his presence has made the UK a better or worse place. But he is the single most significant politician of the last 30 years. like it (and him) or not.
  20. Lovely stuff, thanks.
  21. Ha ha! You lot don’t help yourselves do you? Go on then, who is the first god of all evil?
  22. You can sneer and ridicule her as much as you like, you’re just pissing in the wind. She has changed the world, focused people, businesses and governments towards green issues. You may not like it, but it’s true.
