Ha ha! No I’m only joking he’s a good lad. We finally got the RC3000 winch thingy I spoke to you about working properly today. It’s not a game changer, but once you’ve got it dialled in it is handy enough for tensioning limbs over buildings etc. -
That is such a bullshit cliché.

On a Monday morning when your groundy comes back from a one month tree surgery course.

We used to go to the Dam on football tours (and a stag do) back last century. We were all smokers and spent all day in there getting stoned and drinking copious amounts of Stella. They’re not really ‘fun’, Apart from us (a football team on a weekend jolly) the clientele were quiet, introverted boring sorts, the effect of cannabis no doubt. You wouldn’t catch any ‘cool’ Dutch kids in there that’s for sure.

You ever been to the cannabis cafes in Amsterdam?

What sort of drugs?

Great news, how old is he?

Fwiw lots of infrastructure for camper-vans in France.

Lovely day here. Big shop, look at a job, then jet wash the patio. The whole of February has been a bit of a non event as my hired man has been in the UK on a tree surgery course. I’ve bumbled along with a bit of stump grinding but little else. Now he’s back on Monday and we’ve plenty lined up, luckily it’s set fair, so time to try and catch up fiscally.

Key point.

Shouting “fooks sake, get out of the bloody way you complete spanner’ is comms also. I used to work with a bloke who could do that fingers in the mouth whistle, you could hear that through any chipper/chainsaw.

You rode the wave of a hot thread, got drunk on the attention and relevance. Now the always problematic second thread/album has bombed. The comedown is brutal, you’re the Jodie Marsh of Arbtalk.

Could you do a review of the GRCS at some point please Alex. Run us through why it’s indispensable for tree work, better than the Hobbs etc. Generally tip me over the edge into buying one. Thanks.

Good point. Reminds me of the line from Seinfeld where he explained why he only bought trousers with a button fly. ”If there is any one place on my body that I don’t want to be in reach of interlocking metal teeth it’s there”

Gene Hackman’s dog on hearing he’s in on the pact.

Well it’s like a lot of things in tree work, I think Semantics is the word. You can describe topping a lime tree in many ways. Reduction. Round over. Topping. Or the first stage of a belated (though still viable) pollard cycle leading to periodic reassessment and cyclical re-implementation. As Mark says, the difference is usually the price.

I hope it wasn’t something sinister. Anyway Gene Hackman was a great actor. Here he is in a brilliant film, Mississippi Burning.

I baulk a bit at describing homeowners as clueless, usually better educated than me. If I had to explain it, I’d use exactly the same language as I would use on here. Or is that your question?
