  1. What’s it smell like? Conifer or deciduous?
  2. Last year I noticed the same thing here in south west France, after years of it getting worse and earlier, there was very little sign. Some trees this year seem free so far, others less so.
  3. Here’s a Tree of Heaven I trimmed last year, came out nicely I think.
  4. Help me, help me! Looks like that guy knows how much they weigh.
  5. Stuff happens, it’s a pretty violent process. No damage to the anvils?
  6. Want to explain @Ty Korrigan?
  7. I think TS is part of the Schliesing group, their machines look very similar.
  8. Those aren’t my words KJ, part of Mark’s post.
  9. My mark 1 540 had the old av issue. The thing that finished it was the chain brake mechanism breaking, which was part of the engine casting, making it uneconomical to repair. Cracking saw though, I’d get another if I have to replace the “bigger” top handle.
  10. Nice ladder Don, but looks pretty heavy to carry long distances.
  11. “I then spent an afternoon steaming my plank” I guess Cash in the Attic is not your thing then Simon?
  12. You’re not far from Westcon equipment there, Rayco dealers.
  13. Do you ever get emails from people trying to blackmail you about your porn history, saying they saw you through the camera and will send footage to all your FB friends? Bullshit of course. So you put something on the little camera during.......just in case.
  14. Whilst I’m no tin foil hatter... A cashless society means the government always knows where you are and what you’re doing at the touch of a button. I am not talking about taking cash for jobs, I’m talking about getting cash out of the hole in the wall and spending it on what you want without anyone knowing.
  15. 5ft dbh, so maybe 6 or more at the base. Just checked, you’re right, 120cm equals 4 ft dbh. Still going to be a fair bit bigger at the base.
  16. He’s asked for 3.9 you said try and get him down to 3.5. What would you call it?
  17. I’m amazed that after all the discussion about it, you’re now advising the client to haggle down the price! On behalf of the contractors involved, thanks for nothing.
  18. What difference is there between ‘variations’ and ‘race’ apart from making the word ‘racism’ redundant? Wouldn’t it just be replaced by ‘variationism’?
  19. Prolly, but (being very careful) if there’s no scientific basis for race, how come certain people, résidents for millennia of certain parts of the earth, have FTMR in such abundance, plus other glaring physical differences, and some don’t. How would you differentiate between these different sections of humanity. What is the word you would use?
  20. I checked his profile, he’s fully woke.
  21. How come there’s only a couple of white guys who have run 100 mètres under 10 seconds and 86 black guys have done it? What’s that due to?
