  1. Well you can include me out of your crusade!:)
  2. Watched a bit of it tonight, enjoyed the otters in Glasgow bit. Did some treework for Kate Humble a few years back. She was very nice, if that means anything at all.
  3. Bloody hell, who rattled your cage? You’re ‘projecting’ in modern parlance. Back the truck up a bit. Just to be clear I’m referring to interactions between the climber and the groundsman regarding aerial work. I bow to my GM’s superior mechanical knowledge, his better reversing of a trailer and a few other things. But in a decision about what things might happen in a tricky rigging situation, that involves me being vulnerable, it’s my call.
  4. Well if we’re going to derail then let’s do it! I regard the work site as a kind of benevolent dictatorship, I might ask if a branch is over a power line, or is there anything underneath that can get smashed, can they see any hangers or rips, but I’m 99% of the time after facts, not opinion. What opinions would you seek from your groundy?
  5. Apparently yes, as I understand it. ps lovely kubota STV 36 still for sale with accessories...
  6. You in the right thread here luckyeleven?
  7. What’s your point here? War brings great technological advancements?
  8. Raining today, so found the tree on Google Earth.
  9. They may have gained more light in their garden, they may be looking to re roof the building underneath, who knows? Painting the neighbour as the villain is daft. They haven’t gone right back to the boundary at least, the tree guy has attempted to go back to live growth.
  10. I’ve seen worse. Shame, but there you go.
  11. Well it’s still light. Lets have a look.
  12. That tree is easily big enough to warrant a TPO.
  13. Has the work been done? You’re a bit ambiguous about that.
  14. Well, I don’t think you apply, you just contact your local TO and he slaps an order on it if he feels it merits it.
  15. In fairness, it has been a while, she’s got older, as we all have.
  16. It does look a bit like a beech, which would not be ideal.
  17. Re the planting of a replacement nearby. I think this is a poor idea, for starters the tree will struggle in the shadow of its larger neighbour, Secondly it’ll make the removal of the tree (in the event of its replacement ever achieving any sort of amenity value) problematic, one slip and you’ll damage the replacement. Have you tried to get a tpo on it?
  18. I don’t mind him, better than Bill Oddie who was always so irritable and condescending. Having said that I don’t watch it anymore, there’s only so much nesting bird stuff and rutting deer a man can take. Seen it all before.
  19. Too right! This wasn’t their first rodeo, they knew the score, dirty little bitches.:) (inappropriate?)
  20. For sure there was a stone or something in there.
  21. That was always going to happen, the job was only a waste of time if you make such a schoolboy error a second time.
  22. Well today is the day, praying my VPN holds so I can watch it on YouTube and don’t have to go down the pub. Fans largely behaving themselves so far, but the day is young. Can’t settle today, can’t apply myself to any tasks, just keep reading online articles and flicking around social media. Liverpool favourites, but not overwhelmingly so. Will he start Kane? Probably not.
  23. They respond very vigorously to a short haircut, at least the ordinary green ones do. Hatrack it and it’ll have two chances, as my old boss used to say.
