  1. On the end of my right arm, watching Antiques Roadshow.
  2. I was also told I’m in danger of the hydro pump letting go eventually. One of the reasons I got the Multione.
  3. Good point JP, my Kubota is always pushing the limits. It’ll lift, but it’s not made for lifting day in day out.
  4. Yeh, alright, g’wan then. http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-43921760
  5. I made my own bench, thought it makes an interesting contrast to @aspenarb ‘s tidiness wise!
  6. Looks like pop to me, leaves too shiny for lime.
  7. I saw a video to go with that. Needless to say I’m Team Bear on this one.
  8. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/sportsnews/article-5694969/Doncaster-boss-Darren-Ferguson-misses-final-match-season-severe-family-issue.html Fergie seriously ill. As a big football follower and local football player for many years I wish SAF a quick recovery and many more years. He stands alone in his influence on modern English football. His sides always went out to win, no matter who they played. I liked his classy gesture for his old foe Wenger last week. A battle hardened scrapper from Glasgow, good luck to him.
  9. Just a little note to say I followed the advice given on here and it’s flowering better than ever. Started to train it up some wires, so a few years hence....
  10. I’ve watched their processes over the years I’ve been here, there’s less thought put into it than you might think. Plenty more from the same town soon (pics to be taken this weekend) with varying success. Arsenal one down at the moment, so off to bed depressed.
  11. Here’s a lime (maiden at the time)I reduced/reshaped in 2007, iirc I didn’t worry about growth points, no need with limes. Then, a couple of years ago, I went back and re did it to previous points, next to no rot pockets or dieback. hey presto! A pollard.
  12. Just what the doctor ordered after a bastard day lowering conifer hedges.
  13. FWIW I wouldn’t have bothered taking them off, just touched them up with a dremel. (At least that’s what I did to good effect) As for grease it’s not under high speed or temperature so no need to be too picky.
  14. If I’m honest, I’m lost now (not in life you understand, I’m super happy and focused, really, really happy)
  15. Honestly you could have that stuff over the fence back inside the garden in 10/15 minutes tops. There’s always ‘what ifs’ but by the time they came round you’d be inside the correct ‘airspace’
  16. Perhaps, I was just moving things along, so we get to one of my favourite hobby horses.
  17. The majority of people who make a song and dance of being genuinely happy are often fighting depression in my experience.
  18. Purely looking at the pics, I reckon you could easily rope that back over the fence without issue. Just make sure your knots are good, collect the money and get the ladders for free.
  19. I always enjoy the use of the words ‘hacked’ and ‘brutally’ as if there was a kinder, gentler way to fell trees. Maybe a slap up meal at their favourite restaurant beforehand?
  20. Odd, slightly disturbing thread. Not sure what the OP wants from this tbh.
  21. Lesser stag beetle (again) did you find it in a chip pile?
  22. Now I don’t want to get into attacks on her appearance or the like, it’s pointless. But this is the shadow Home Secretary, as thick as shit, there are periods during this interview that it seems like she is retarded. Cannot even weasel and waffle adequately.
