  1. Simon, I sympathise, genuinely, but the buck stops with you.
  2. I had an efco topper as my first saw 20 years ago, utter rubbish. Surely you should be telling us what it's like?
  3. A bitch she may be, but she brings money with her. 2 Douglas, birch, maple, cedar and a H. Chestnuts. Good job, went well.
  4. Yes thinning of the regrowth would be normal. The sap is rising at the moment, so it may bleed a bit. I've done them all year to no ill effect. Some might say wait till it's in leaf.
  5. Anything whatsoever to do with security or crime. All child rapists to be burnt at the stake.
  6. Thanks for the vid Domino. Great tool, but I think I'll pass on the tree shear. I think my mind is set for the Giant 245 telescopic.
  7. Any half decent tree surgeon could trim that sympathetically. You'll never go back to a truly natural form but taking it back to above previous cuts leaving a leader on each one would be doable. I'd guesstimate £200/250 to do it and take the arisings away.
  8. http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/chainsaws/92799-540-xp-rear-av-broken.html Bottom of page one on this thread. Skylands keep the new spring in stock.
  9. Ha ha! (No idea what my ropes name is btw, although judging by its appearance it could be Nick)
  10. I tried the zig zag, I didn't like the thin rope. Honestly, I don't find myself thinking "i wish I was more mobile around this tree" I do pretty much all take downs these days mind.
  11. State of the parties in the Opinion Polls | UK Political Info I saw this referenced on Twitter. Can you believe that Labour are so utterly mistrusted that they are falling further behind a sitting government? I can only surmise, coupled with Jeremy Corbyn's inability to engage the public, that the perception is that Theresa May is doing a pretty solid job.
  12. 32hp, hydraulically driven wheel. Me no likey.
  13. [ame] [/ame] Have you been drifting into the arena of the unwell?
  14. Urban Dictionary: jump the shark Dost thou not google?
  15. Call the Midwife has jumped the shark in this house.
  16. Like many of these things, he's more interested in the publicity from the show than any real investment. Good luck to him.
  17. Without pictures nobody can offer any meaningful advice.
  18. Don't worry about frosts, it's grass not baby giant pandas.
