  1. I doubt he took a hiding from the other coppers, too high profile. Attempted suicide more likely I reckon. (I watch The Sweeney a lot so I’m a bit of an expert)
  2. Good idea, it would be nice if you came back to tell us what the report says and your decision. It gives us a kind of closure. Mick
  3. Very kind of you to worry about me Les! My nephew (25) is being trained up to replace me, but I still do the more technical/risky stuff. Tbh, it’s not really a problem, the hard stuff like hedge reductions I either turn down or put a silly price on.
  4. Fuel economy not that important Stu, performance is.
  5. Cheers Stubs. I mean who could cut down a holly tree and wonder what it is? Look at the tree the pile is stacked up against.
  6. Thé orange stuff is alder obvs. I cannot see the other stuff is the same species, ash maybe?
  7. To be expected. Might have to be a bit more strict telling the lads to lift the throttle when we’re not chipping.
  8. I heard the same, but there we are. You any experience of this power unit Pete? Its still a Kubota so there is that.
  9. Have started showing a bit of ankle to the salesman for one of these. They have only got the 57hp petrol engine on offer here in France Thats a fair bit of extra poke compared to the 45hp v1505 turbo diesel they had beforehand. Anyone here got one of these and has real life experience using it, what’s it like? As good as the diesel or not (or better) TIA, Mick
  10. I feel people are ignoring @Cobbs tree&estate service posts. He saw the damage being done to the tree in the house build, sees the tree regularly and has noticed the decline in leaf cover and dead wood in it.
  11. I’ve been to a few of these auctions over the years. Prices have usually been astonishingly high for some reason. Perhaps people think I’ve come this way, I have to buy something.
  12. Those two will wither away to irrelevance.
  13. I saw him drop a pond coin once, it hit him on the back of the head on its way down.
  14. I shagged your mum in them. (Not sure if she was wearing them or I was, but you know... something or other)
  15. What if he got the boot saying homosexuality is a sin or Jews control the world or the Royal family are lizards? Would that be an assault on free speech? ps. Please try not to use the word ‘woke’ in the answer, look on it as an linguistic challenge.
  16. Has he been prevented legally from saying it again? Is he likely to go to prison or be prosecuted for saying it? All thats happened is that his employers are fed up with him saying it and want him to stop saying it on their premises and on their dime. Seems fair enough.
  17. No I like Piers Morgan, and by and large agree with most of what he says. But him losing his job is not an assault on free speech.
  18. When did you get arrested for voicing an opinion?
