  1. The actual hoopoe...... in my veranda.
  2. “Mistake had been made” As long as you’re not.... 1: Filling out insurance forms. 2: At the builders merchants discovering that the particular broken tile/fence panel/gutter etc. you’re holding hopefully is no longer made. 3: Waiting in casualty. Then no mistake was made.
  3. Again, as I pointed out all that time ago, she was not in the box/jar. She opened it. ps. I’m not a critic, I’m not criticising you (well not in this case) I’m mocking you.
  4. Yeah, I’d say that’s about the bones of it.
  5. I can’t speak for the others of course.... I find your posts so laden with intellectual pretence that when you make comical errors, like your “putting Pandora back in the box” or indeed “flopsum” I point them out.
  6. Just for the record, I’m on Facebook, quite like it. I just hide the irritating people, you people are aware of that aren’t you? It is the burgeoning FB tree sites that grind my gears a bit, and I was wondering what the attraction was and what people thought of them.
  7. https://www.ukmoths.org.uk/species/cucullia-verbasci/larva/ Probably a buddliea, caterpillar is more interesting looking than the moth it seems.
  8. I distinctly remember questioning you on the mog thing when you were posting pictures. Iirc you were evangelical about it, dismissing all my negativity etc.
  9. Interesting post Ben, I guess I have followed the stay small/keep your money model. Have you factored in the sale of your business at the end of the day? For guys like me the actual business is only worth the equipment. For you surely there’s a dividend for all your hard work?
  10. It’s an ongoing debate. Personally I find very little worthwhile on the FB sites, a few laughs at best. Different strokes and all that.
  11. FB is full of these macho nonsense memes.
  12. Maybe the spelling is ironic. I doubt it though. From Arborists Online....
  13. The job itself was a yawn, removing previously topped spruce but I though I’d share the extraction pics. Temporary road plates on a wet lawn to minimise damage, grapple putting the sticks into the truck in 3 meter lengths. Away by lunchtime.
  14. Yes it’s France Kevin, the F on the plate gives it away.
  15. “Only two years old”
  16. Now I’m not the greatest driver/parker, but unless you’re having a baby or about to have explosive diarrhea, then parking in a supermarket car park like this makes you a twat.
  17. The premier inn I stayed in only had WiFi in the foyer and not in the rooms. Which made my wanking over porn an unsettling experience, at least it was for the family checking in next to me at the desk.
  18. I don’t mind the staying away so much as the hours between finishing for the day and going to bed. I go to bed at around 9.00 just to hurry the time up and start the next day quicker.
  19. Nice saw, I’ve got one and a 562, zero issues.
  20. Not that I do a lot of freelancing these days. But when I did/do only my petrol goes in my saws.
