Surely the pump being wanked is the most obvious answer.

Is this oak slowly dying?
Mick Dempsey replied to ChrisNewport's question in Homeowners Tree Advice Forum
We are all dying, some more slowly than others. Might be worth getting a tree bloke to come and have a closer look for cavities, fungi etc. Very difficult to assess properly from photos. Clearly had some major lower limbs removed, that’s the first thing to investigate. -
Fook all to do with Meghan and Harry in reality.

Gym membership wholly and exclusively for business?
Mick Dempsey replied to Clutchy's topic in General chat
This was asked on a FB forum run by that tree business guru guy who comes on here occasionally. Anyway bones of it was yes, just put it through. -
No, I dont think this needs to be expanded out. Being anti TPO doesn’t mean I’m anti bureaucracy or a libertarian or whatever pigeon hole you want to put people in. For instance in many French planning conditions you have to use a certain colour render or tiles on your house to match the rest of the village, and I agree with that. It means I’ve seen a system of local governance without TPOs, TOs etc. and it’s ok, plenty of trees everywhere in gardens. Like all English tree guys I was ‘born’ into the idea that they (TOs) are an essential part of the furniture. I reckon that maybe 1% of what has TPOs on actually deserves to be conserved by law.

I don’t believe that LAs should have any say on trees in gardens. We don’t have any here, save for a handful of trees marked as ‘classé’ We are led to believe this will lead to the desertification of garden trees, but it doesn’t, people like trees, they plant them, enjoy them and cut them down when they like.

Are you against TPOs? (I think you know my feelings about them)
-
Isn’t that the point?
-
I say we give him his money back, it’s only fair.
-
CoE said that the TO won’t revoke a TPO just to save people making applications to do work on a tree.
-
Think you’ve missed the point there Stubs.

I don’t really care much for TPOs, but I’m getting rather fond of this one. Hope it’s a keeper!

Really? I just light mine with dry kindling and burn dry oak, acacia, hornbeam all the time. No need to mollycoddle it with a complicated menu of wood. Get it in, give it some draw, enjoy the heat.

How do you mean, branches are 2x heavier?

Swept the flue this summer?

Dempsey Tree Surgery 🇬🇧🇫🇷 (@dempseytreesurgery) • Instagram photos and videos WWW.INSTAGRAM.COM Dempsey Tree Surgery 🇬🇧🇫🇷 shared a post on Instagram: "Noble Fir removal in Charras. This was the first paid job I ever had in France when I deadwooded and lifted this fir in 2005. This time...

Yes of course, loved it. Was just about the only show on TV that had a countryside theme. These days you can’t move for them.

They get similar reviews on FB (GC) Rarely seen a firm so universally reviled.

Now that’s a job for a Blackhawk!
-
Saw bits and bobs of that on IG. Very impressive. You do get the idea that’s coming out of the public purse, so that’s why you get the Blackhawk.

Be retired by then hopefully!

I had quoted it with a cherry picker in mind. Not Lombardies, hybrids with some biggish awkward limbs. It became painfully clear in 1/2 hour that it wasn’t going to work, picker too small (17 meter) so on go the spikes and harness and up I went. Didn’t quite catch a cold on the job, but certainly didn’t do as well as I should have.

Well…this is a bit embarrassing!

Re. Chinese influence in Africa. I think the Africans look more kindly on the Chinese taking their raw materials in return for some infrastructure as opposed to colonial western powers who just took it, called them primitives and fooked off when they’d had their fill.
