    That looks like a recent hack job, often brings up larger than normal foliage in those cases.

    I miss the old Arbtalk not the land of fluffy bunnies with no bottoms that you're reminiscing about, that never really existed. There were more (knowledgeable) characters and more decent debates/disputes (about the job) a while back, we've lost a few, I see them on other social media stuff like FB and IG. I hope they work their way back here.

    Of all the terrible crimes in this world, altering someone's post like that is one of the worst, not funny or clever.

    Large lump of cedar being moved, imagine ringing up and handballing this and 15 others like it!
  5. Mick Dempsey
    Better!

    Don't leave the dog hanging there, he needs a high five.

    I've got both, same output. Honestly cannot tell the difference if the chains are both good.

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Association_of_Conservative_Clubs http://www.uk-socialclubs.co.uk/halls/ST/64163.php Did a little research Kevin, not common but they do exist.

    Great vid, tricky looking balancing of horizontals.

    Nice to see you pop in Tony, what are your regrets? And if you've time how's things going in Bulgaria?

    Use it to get a fire going, after a while the end melts anyway. I prefer round for dissipating sawdust on lawns. Also round ones are better for levitating tennis balls, providing minutes of fun.

    One of my favourite episodes, make me think of Huck, "No tree surgery for you!"

    Never really understood (or believed) this attitude. Strikes me as bravado. I don't really care about my clients moral fibre, I don't judge their suitability to be the recipients of my awesome work (sarcastic emoji) All that interests me is what they what they want done, and can they pay? I've worked for many, many people who I've disliked and moaned about (in the security of my van) and I'm sure there's a few who've breathed a sigh of relief when I've driven away, it's a business transaction that's all. I know builders who've turned down work because over the medium term they know the client is going to be an issue, I understand that, they are in or around their house for weeks/months. Two maybe three days we're out, it's not a marriage.

    Most hire companies know diddly squat about how these machines work. They probably think they're saving it. If you explain to them how the stress control works they might relent.

    Fwiw, acceptable or underhand is a false dilemma it is neither of those things and yet both. I have done it many years ago (although not when other companies have made the application) It is what it is, if they knocked on the door it would be beyond the pale. No harm in a letter.

    The RS is really nice, well done.

    Gary, you're like those guys who lose at pool, then set up their remaining balls in right front of the pockets so they can slam them in really hard.

    Use those on my dog. You have to twist them to better remove the tick before pulling them out. The thing that worries me is that I've never found a tick on myself, which makes me wonder if I've been missing them. It's not as if I can up my self examination routine!

    For me the sex scene between Jon Snow and Danyeris was an auntie-climax..... I'll get my coat then.
  21. Mick Dempsey
    Wire brush and dettol.
  22. Mick Dempsey
    Good idea Bill!
  23. Mick Dempsey
    Dracarys on that cat! (skillz btw)

    Ok so I've been thinking about some ideas for new threads, tell me what you think..... 1: Making the Nudes Today. Surreptiously taken pictures of clients taken from trees in a state of undress. 2: Lets see your teenage daughters! Not sure this one has legs (or that mine will remain unbroken) 3: Most Embarrassing Thing a Client Has Caught You Doing in Their Garden. (If yours is putting a suppository up your jacksee behind their shed, sorry, that ones taken) 4: ID my STD! post pictures of your Johnson, let the experts help! 5. Stolen Equipment. Sell your stolen gear at a discount on here (no questions asked!) 6. Let's see your spoons! Give us a good laugh at how you spent hours making something crap that costs pennies in Wilkos.

    God, I miss GOT already. Gary, If you don't know, take a couple of months off, start season 1 episode 1.
