    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.

    What difference is there between ‘variations’ and ‘race’ apart from making the word ‘racism’ redundant? Wouldn’t it just be replaced by ‘variationism’?
  3. Mick Dempsey
    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?

    I checked his profile, he’s fully woke.

    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?

    I kept getting those crappy T-shirt ads tailored for me, usual nonsense, this one was because I was born in December. I tried to block them but they kept coming back, so whilst drunk I posted this on their site. One month later Kevin from Portland, Oregon put me right..

    Thanks Cadno. Getting it on the floor is the easy bit, getting it through the gate to the front of the house to the vans either as chip or cut up wood is where the problems start. There is no way any crew could get the branches out to the front as quick as the climber can put them on the lawn, so he’s either sitting up the tree or popping down to help out from time to time. A point I made before is the paint at the side of the house is going to get streaked green unless everyone is very careful, more time taken.. Then there’s the wood, I’d say there’s 4 tonne of cord, so if you cut that into 25kg pieces for putting in a barrow to the front maybe 2 pieces a barrow, That’s 80 trips, all in the afternoon after a hard morning (plus that wood isn’t going to cut itself into pieces, lots of cutting rings into quarters or worse) Then the sawdust and general rakings. Makes me tired just thinking about it.

    At least try and jump the battery to eliminate it as the cause.

    Thing is with grinding... That tree is at least 4 ft across at the base, plus there’s a lot of raised soil around it. You can’t get a decent machine in there so it’s a pedestrian or a little tracked one. Ash isn’t the easiest wood to grind. It’s as good as a day to grind even if you leave the grindings, if you remove arisings they’ll be a transit load of grindings minimum, plus you’ll need a couple of barrows and a couple of blokes. Grinding price wise, thick end of a grand.

    You said 1200 to 1400 on the first page.

    Just so you know, I’ve grown pissed off of your insulting posts, there is no debate or discussion, just name calling and bully boy tactics. You’re clogging up the thread with your hyper aggressive posts. So I used the report function.

    Wife snapped a couple of young wild boar on her way to work today.

    Getting all that brush out through a gate less than 3ft is a nightmare. Plus you’d have to be careful not to ruin the paint up the side of the house pulling it through. 2k absolute minimum. (not including the grinding)
  14. Mick Dempsey
    It doesn’t look like it can felled to me. Price depends on access, what’s that like?
  15. Mick Dempsey
    Yeah sorry, you’re right.
  16. Mick Dempsey
    Yeah, yours seems flawed. If it cheers you up any, my Forst is a witch’s curse, the worst machine I’ve ever owned, and I owned a Land Rover defender.
  17. Mick Dempsey
    I had the 1928 I had one a while back, 55hp Isuzu engine, loved it, wish I’d replaced it with a newer one rather than getting a Forst. I liked the idle function and the engine drop to engage the flywheel.
  18. Mick Dempsey
    The original and best for sure.
  19. Mick Dempsey
    Blimey KJ, that’s depressed me! We will all end up like the Eloi.

    Now now Kevin, don’t be be a socialist! Their earnings reflects their market value. You'll be calling for universal income next.

    I have always found them rather proud of it. I met one in a French bar, called him a monkey hanger, he was happy that his little town was so famous, this was before I spoke much French so my BiL explained the story to the locals, the French considèred it hilarious.
  22. Mick Dempsey
    Orson Wells did.

    Wake up, it’s happening sheeple!

    By any standards, that the UK has the most deaths, especially considering how it had longer to prepare and act than France, Italy and Germany is a poor result.

    Médiéval days the iron industry in Sussex and Kent used Hornbeam for the furnaces because it was excellent for heat etc.
