  1. Sycamore? Skillful work, not easy to do. Waste of time.
  2. London plane, nicely pleached/pollarded for shade. Good work.
  3. My Cocker Charlie was a rehoming, lovely nature, trust her with children or anyone, never heard her growl at a human. Food was an issue and her obsession. She would not look backwards if I was being dragged into the pits of hell if the devil put a bacon sandwich in front of her! Loved coming to work in the van as much as Igor.
  4. Looks ok to me, on the pricey side to say the least though.
  5. Precisely, don’t contact anyone at the council, just walk away.
  6. Unless you’re getting crazy money for it, walk away.
  7. Mine arrives next Thursday, here it is in the garage getting its PDI. Six Speed auto, with paddle shift when heavy towing. Getting excited! I can honestly say my knees gave way a bit when I first saw it.
  8. Not worth filling your car up Dave, half a tank, just in case!:)
  9. Yep, worst I’ve seen since the end of the John Major administration. Out on their ear next chance you get if you please. ps. Should have put ‘one of’
  10. True, no one knows what the future will bring. The older I get the less I worry about the breakdown of civilization as population increases, not because I think it won’t happen, but I’ll be closer to the end of my natural life span, so bollocks to it!
  11. How is that grim? You’re living in the most affluent, free, least corrupt countries in the world, you’ve won the lottery compared to the huge majority of people born in (as Trump said) ‘shithole countries’ Count your lucky stars!
  12. It’s mostly bullshit. The reason why countries like the US, Western European ones like the UK, France, Germany, and then Australia etc. are good places to live are because of good governance that’s accountable over many generations. Flawed of course, but basically as good as it gets. In really corrupt, poorly run countries, life is considerably harder.
  13. This was his tweet about Rod Marsh, presumably from his holiday in Thailand. You never really know do you?
  14. Hé was so good and so real a character that you couldn’t dislike him even when he was playing against England. I enjoyed his co-commentary as well, insightful, funny and entertaining. Really sad day for cricket.
  15. Shit no! I read Marsh this morning had died.
  16. Ivy roots are not like tree roots, they’re brittle and do not have the ability to restrict flow up a tree.
  17. I don’t believe Ivy roots can girdle a tree of that size. The photos prove absolutely nothing.
  18. I think by formation he means training. Not sure on his native language, but it can mean training in French
  19. Pulled the trigger is the phrase you were looking for I think.
