  1. Made a box out of old bits lying around to keep the batteries in one place in the van. Don’t bother begging me to do commissions for high end carpentry. I know I’m wasted climbing trees, but carpentry for me is a passion, I could never just prostitute my art for money.
  2. It’s a holzafarma (or whatever they’re called) replica 372.
  3. Wordle 1,408 4/6 ⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜ 🟨⬜🟩⬜⬜ ⬜⬜🟩🟨🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
  4. Tbf, I’ve seen a few of this guys videos. He goes on campus and invites questions from students. He’s always polite, and bats away insults. They are not children, they’re college students.
  5. Ok, understood. I’m not a TO. There are some on here who post without revealing their identity (for obvious and understandable reasons) Maybe they’ll chime in with some informed takes on it. All I’d say is hanging your hat on some less that 30 year old trees is a bit tenuous. I have a question. Is your motivation the love of the trees or are you hoping to prevent a development near to your house?
  6. Priorities change, councils have housing targets they have to meet.
  7. Have a look at new, lease hire etc.
  8. To address the last paragraph. Cos thats his job.
  9. It’s a helluva coincidence, that’s all I’m saying.
  10. Ash. How many of these idents lately are ash? I blame the vaccine.
  11. Some American on Instagram the other week did a reverse gob a foot or so above his back cut for the heel of his free hand to push the top over easier, which I thought was a nice little trick. Stupidly simple like all the best ones.
  12. Wordle 1,407 3/6 🟨🟨🟩⬜⬜ 🟩⬜🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
  13. I thought she was days from death after a car accident. Then I read she was discharged 8 days later. Strange story. Lots missing.
  14. That’s how I imagined it would work.
  15. Yes 100% lime/linden tree
  16. Get the hash, I miss that, once the crazy strong skunk appeared, I had to stop.
  17. Lots of stuff appears, looks smart, then disappears. Only time will tell.

    Eh!

    Fair enoughski.

    Eh!

    If anyone knows what this thread is about, please enlighten me.
  20. Thanks Les. As it goes, my old iPhone practically needs to be permanently on charge.
  21. Phone is all but dead.
  22. Did a bit of research, and you’re right, they came over to Wexford (under their own steam) in the 1700s. So doesn’t that make them native?
  23. I understand, and it’s not for me. I had a similar conversation with my brother, and as he is more than quite handy, he was undeterred. All hydraulic parts are metric and available off the shelf, the engine is unsophisticated to say the least, but repairable or replaceable. The price is at least a 1/3 or even a 1/4 of the equivalent well known marque. They’re in the showrooms over here. I don’t want one, but if I was starting out, they’d be difficult to resist.
  24. He should have (using motoring parlance) stayed in his lane.
  25. My brother bought one to help his son (my nephew a tree surgeon ) to move wood etc. He fitted a fixed grab to it. It does the job, better than handballing it. Had to replace the tracks very soon after purchase, but otherwise is happy enough.
