The language used is ambiguous ‘potentially’ for example. And yet, not one camera trap picture, just sightings and conjecture. Its not beyond the realms of possibility, but surely in Gloucestershire of all places a dog being walked off the lead would flushed it out of wherever it was living and got ripped to shreds in front of its owner. It’s not exactly remote there is it?

All I have ever worked on is post DED regrowth, 12” max. Nice, light wood, never enough to be a staple firewood, just guest appearances.

Too late, I’ve gone early!

I’m just making stuff up, waiting till 5.30 so I can open the wine.
-
I like oak, well seasoned, splits nicely, long strong burn.
-
Actually invites Witches into the house, so again, no from me.
-
Robinia always seem to leave a ribbon holding the two split pieces together, meaning you have to wrangle it apart, so it’s off the list for me. Plus it smells of piss.
-
Bastard to split by hand. Normally of course it can go straight in round.

Where can I get a hydraulic winch pump for a Land Rover?
Mick Dempsey replied to William Clifford's topic in Arb-Trucks
My old LR had a little PTO coming out the transfer box to the pump with a hydraulic tank under the drivers seat (ex utilities) The winch was slow but epically strong. I imagine it was very expensive to fit, it looks to me like someone came up with a much cheaper (and less effective) option. -
I don’t think much has changed in the past ten years tbh.

For me it comes down to the premature declaration by Stokes in the first test. Still, no worries, been a great series.

Never seen this tree species before....what IS it?
Mick Dempsey replied to beefheart's topic in Tree Identification pictures
Cut leaf beech? -
In order, big cats in Britain, it’s entirely possible the odd large cat escaped captivity and lived for a while in the wild, colonies of them, no way. UFOs sadly no, not a single pice of evidence except ‘eye witness’ accounts. Yeti/Sasquatch, no way. Ghosts, see previous answer. New world order stuff, not quantifiable so can’t be judged. Nessie, impossible.

When did you stop?
-
Bit more like it, a decent Muscadet, much nicer!
-
Tbh, this particular wine is rank. But you could pay double here for something very passable and still be less than half the price of the equivalent ’outre manche’
-
Bit impatient with the uncorking though! Should have removed the foil first!
-
It is 11% That is insane!
-
€5.69 for the box so €1.42 a 75cl bottle!
-
Wow! Not mucking about then?
-
Experimenting tonight with this Spanish white, do I like it? No, not really, but cold with a packet of supermarket crisps it’ll do the job of battling reality into retreat for a few hours. As it’s Friday who’s drinking what and where? Pictures of foaming pints and great pubs especially welcome to a pub lover in the land of crappy soulless bars.

Keep the big block and order the little one. You don’t return gear, you keep it, we’re not women buying shoes. Pull yourself together!

“And why did you fail your exam Johnson?” ”sorry sir, got into an argument on the internet with a stranger about the Loch Ness monster and didn’t study enough”

Ha ha! ‘Staggeringly arrogant’ You do love a bit of hyperbole don’t you? I never said there’s nothing out there, but I do love it when there’s some kind kerfuffle about aliens and all the Trekkies start wetting their pants in excitement.

Here we go, buckle up Moonbats…
