    Yeah saw that. No crime committed apparently. interesting conundrum really. The Sun claims he was sending money to a 17 year old for explicit pics. Who is old enough to remember when the same paper had a countdown to Sam Fox being 16 so we could see her tits on page 3? Notwithstanding him being a married (to a woman) man with 5 kids of course.

    Just because they are not shot at doesn’t mean they’re not wary of people. It’s kind of their job to distrust any potential threat. Buzzard, kites and other raptors have been protected for years, doesn’t mean they’re strolling round the lawn playing with the kids toys does it? Imo the animal is old or ill or suchlike.
  3. Mick Dempsey
    Yep, I think you’re right.

    Choisia ternata?
  5. Mick Dempsey
    Well, that doesn’t really make any sense as they downed an aéroplane and killed pilots/crew. But I haven’t got anything better at the moment.

    Nice looking property as well.
  7. Mick Dempsey
    Very nice, Congrats. If I had that sort of work anywhere in the diary I’d be down the bank filling out forms.

    Fair point. When we use the loader, there’s always a guy beside the chipper making sure it goes in ok.

    A much needed win to keep the series alive.

    I’m guessing it’s fine to use whatever, I mean it’s got to be safer than hand feeding.

    I very much doubt he’s declaring it, so you must tell him YOU are declaring his payments to the tax people.

    Courage isn’t having no fear, it’s having fear and conquering it. (Follow me for more lifestyle tips and bumper sticker philosophy)

    Whilst there are a few Americans on here, by and large this site is frequented by Brits and Europeans, so not many will have much familiarity with the species your growing or their problems. Could get lucky though.

    Prigozhin is in Russia according to reliable sources. What is he doing there? Why hasn’t Putin had him arrested? (He was supposed to stay in Belarus) Is he a bad faith actor against Putin ie. is he organising a coup or has he been forgiven? There doesn’t seem to be a rational explanation. Answers on a postcard please…

    Yes, I see a few companies with shredders. It’s a bit of a mystery why they’re popular here

    1: Getting any more work with the company if you’re a freelance climber. 2: Eating, if you’re running your own show,

    Have a look around at what’s nearby with the same form. looks like poplar to me.

    One tree days are the most lucrative work I get, and what I’m geared up best for. Big enough to scare off the gardeners, small enough to do in a day with the loader etc.

    Never used a floppy disc, apart from that, every one.
  20. Mick Dempsey
    Is there a ferret in the box?
  21. Mick Dempsey
    That would be nice, but in reality that is rarely in place for most outfits.
  22. Mick Dempsey
    Sort of, what I’m saying is think hard about what you’re about to do, bearing in mind you’re on your own up there if things go Pete Tong.
  23. Mick Dempsey
    In the huge majority of outfits you’ll never get rescued, unless it’s hours later by the fire brigade when rigor mortis is setting in. Think about that when you’re rigging big or one handing.

    What town are you in at the moment?

    Quite a few years ago I got a sawmill in to take 4 big firs out from a garden. They sent a tiny bloke out (powerfully built mind) with a double drum winch articulated skidder He would back up to the trees stand on the winches and wrap the cable at maybe 15 ft up these 90/100 ft trees. I asked him if he wanted me to set it higher but he said no (we know why now of course) Then he’d drive the skidder away and using his remote on his belt tension the line, this massive tree shook like the Hulk was pushing it. Then he’d fell them with a 066 with a short bar, always a keyhole cut followed by a walk around, a turn of the button on his belt, and the tree went over good as gold, and as Openspaceman explained tension on the cable was held much longer into the lay. Bloke was a bloody artist.
