    Why worry about the long term? A sycamore is a short term tree anyway. Reduce it, re-reduce it a couple of times, then have it out in maybe 15/20 years, why is that so unacceptable?
  2. Mick Dempsey
    Light thinning of a sycamore Steve? Are you being held against your will? If so post emojis.
  3. Mick Dempsey
    You know me!

    Your sharpening vid is the best I’ve seen, clear explanation and execution.
  5. Mick Dempsey
    Thanks, I’ll give it a go.

    Beech is the best hedge there is imo.

    Someone’s happy at work.
  8. Mick Dempsey
    Well that’s your first bit of self-development done for the day.

    Your glasses need cleaning. Read that back to yourself.

    57 in 2 months.

    Not sure President Macron subscribes to that school of thought.
  12. Mick Dempsey
    Possible I suppose.

    I have a couple of 201s which are retired now, and a 201tc which I can’t get on with, stalls in the cut, all round a bit shit. I had a mk1 540 which cut gréât but had a couple of build failures, but I thought I’d give it another go.

    Was using my 540mk11 for the first time today. It made a good impression.

    Works well copying links from IG to here. Lapsed willow pollard, lots of dieback, kill or cure type thing. 9 times out of 10 they come back great.

    I quite like it still, money is good, keeps me out of mischief.

    Just to go back a bit, I thought an interesting point was raised about how advertisers and TV generally shape (or certainly try to) our perception of what is normal or acceptable. Someone made a joke about mixed race couples being the ‘go to’ demographic for advertisers, and now it’s same sex couples, I even saw an ad for an internet provider with a mixed race/same sex couple which ticked nearly all the boxes. I sit and watch these, feeling slightly bewildered at who makes the decisions to take this direction and if they do it because it really brings in more clients or for other reasons.

    Just in case anyone might think I’m actually advocating purposefully breathing in fumes (or that I’m a sexual tyrannosaur) it’s a famous quote from the film Predator.
  19. Mick Dempsey
    Never use aspen, breathe in good old petrol and mix all day. Makes me a sexual tyrannosaurus.
  20. Mick Dempsey
    Looks worse than it felt.

    Maybe replace the broken exhaust guard first, burnt my belly a few days ago.
  22. Mick Dempsey
    Did you swipe right?
  23. Mick Dempsey
    Dunno, it all loaded fine on the yankee forum. Are you on Instagram?

    My ankles would turn over occasionally when I played football. I became expert at strapping them with that elasticy white stuff every morning. Not too tight, not too loose.

    ‘Slagsaw’ love it!
