  1. Madness! But a bit Specials nevertheless, how hard did you have to Beat it before it split? Still it was free so Bad Manners to complain.
  2. Wordle 1,324 4/6 🟩⬜⬜⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟨⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩⬜🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
  3. I love thé red acers, plant them wherever I’m living. Its possible that this one is reaching the end of its lifespan. Try the blood/fish stuff, it can work wonders, don’t prune heavily though, except obviously dead wood, that’s not coming back, otherwise it won’t be worth keeping aesthetically, even if it does come back strong.
  4. Send them a telegram. Keep an eye on teletext and Ceefax, lots of opportunities there.
  5. My advice would be, mind your own business.
  6. Too early maybe, but some crocuses around my pond to give us a taste of what’s to come.
  7. Wordle 1,323 5/6 ⬜🟨🟨⬜⬜ ⬜🟨⬜🟨🟨 ⬜⬜🟨🟩🟨 🟨🟩🟨🟩⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Hard work today.
  8. Start from the top with the smallest stuff, then after a while you can peel the lot off.
  9. Oooh Alex you’re so edgy!
  10. Prince Andrew in the news again. That bloke could end the monarchy, absolute clustercluck
  11. It’s appeared on the BBC website in the last hour.
  12. Where’d you read that Stubs?
  13. I don’t think you’d struggle for work, especially as a climber, qualifications or not.
  14. Motorway work is hard graft.
  15. Wordle 1,322 3/6 🟨🟨⬜⬜⬜ 🟩⬜⬜🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 it’s either feast or famine at the moment.
  16. I know right?! even at 61 I’m still trying to get into the habit, one day I’ll be able to do it gunfighter style like @Rich Rule
  17. Best thing about the 020t was the easily removable baffes, instant power boost (and eardrum punisher) 200t good saw, but limited lifespan, sought after by industry newbies who think it’ll turn them into Instagram heroes.
  18. Au contraire, I went into a rental machinery repair shop the other day. Courant had a little stand there, a couple of harnesses, a range of biners, some other bits and bobs, I bet you it was sale or return (the shop only pays for what they sell) I picked up a prussik and a tool holder thing you stow your saw on your harness. Pleased as punch with my couple of bits.
  19. Some krabs, some rope and a few prussiks, just for emergencies and an old impulse buy.
  20. All poplar, last one possibly a lombardy poplar.
  21. Wordle 1,321 3/6 ⬜⬜⬜🟩⬜ 🟩🟨⬜🟩⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
  22. @AHPP Whilst I wouldn’t call your views on employment infantile, they always strike me as having more than a whiff of a six form common room about them, simplistic, poorly thought out and mainly articulated to look edgy and to try to get in the Goth birds knickers. Everyone being self employed may, at a pinch, work for something like tree work. But most businesses, manufacturers of things like cars or furniture or whatever, need stability of a workforce, especially the skilled ones, some kind of guarantee of work and therefore money……an employment contract if you will. The advantages are the company can press ahead with projects, reasonably secure having a stable workforce, on his side the employee can look to the future with some confidence, borrow money, have kids, buy a house etc. It’s mutually beneficial.
