Indeed. It has to be either Prigozhin (we’re going to have to learn how to spell that aren’t we?) going for head of state, or at least head of the Russian military in a new administration. Still, from our point of view on here, it makes a change from moaning about poor people/flat screen TVs/coffee from Starbucks etc.

If, and my speculation is as worthless as anyone’s on here, The Wagner group do head into Russia in some kind of coup attempt, Putin and the chiefs will have to divert soldiers to combat them. Leaving the defenses of their gains in the Ukraine vulnerable to a lightning advance.

Wagner Group (or specifically their boss) turning against Russia. Inevitable really, mercenaries are just that and are always likely to switch or stop if the situation changes. Next couple of weeks could see some very decisive action. edit Just seen been posted earlier.

Cannot post links, but on the BBC website there’s an interesting article about the Pisces 3 submersible recovery.

@Medbooth did you ever make a decision?

Ok, thanks. As for your question, I’ll echo what many have said, you can sell the plant, but the business itself will probably be worth very little, if anything. Maybe someone you’ve worked closely with over the years will take it on? You might find someone willing to give you a few grand for the phone numbers and website, might being the operative word. There was a guy on here a while back who said he’d sold his business for tens of thousands. Not really sure if anyone believed him. Good luck with it anyway.

How old? And what are you going to do instead? If you don’t mind me asking?
-
Good info. Can they get there in time?

Link?

Moving along. She makes a good point. You couldn’t pay me to get in that thing.

Impressive machine, wish he was closer. Agreed on the networking bit, if I thought I could spend all day on that I’d sell everything else (except the Avant!)

Liquidambar with many competing leaders and possible rot in crotches
Mick Dempsey replied to alg's question in Homeowners Tree Advice Forum
The tree has poor form, meaning the way it has grown lends itself to that kind of failure. All you can do is re-top/pollard it, get someone who knows what they’re doing so the make a nice shape and with a bit of luck it’ll come back well (it’s already been done once and survived) repeat the process every 5/10 years and you’ll have shade and the house will be safer. Short to medium term that’s your best solution. -
Agreed spent a fortune dicking around with my 2511 to make it super duper, bastard won’t work reliably. Should have left it stock and accepted its limitations.

I assumed it was in the US, judging by the house and what the other tree blokes said. -
Howard Donald off of Take That is the next one in the stocks for Wrongthink. Pitchforks lit and angry mob descending..

I was going to contribute to this thread anyway. I have two types of shirt, the standard cotton one, where I sweat like a pig or some of these lightweight breathable things that seem to give you body odour and somehow keep the smell in its memory and releases it early on in the morning. I tend to err towards the cotton ones as the lesser of two evils.

Mick Dempsey replied to alg's question in Homeowners Tree Advice Forum
Looks to me as if it’s already been heavily pruned a good few years back at about where I’ve drawn the line. Some included bark in the crotches. I would suggest a reduction to the previous points, liquidambers respond readily to pruning so should be ok. Many people won’t agree with this course of action though, just my opinion. -
Dunno, check with animal rescue centres for advice. Well done for saving it anyway.

Looks like a whitebeam, but not sure.

How to run a job site, do’s and dont’s
Mick Dempsey replied to Mick Dempsey's topic in Business Management
Yep. Here’s what we have to do, and this is how we’re going to do it is a good start. I’m sometimes guilty of jumping in too fast trying to get a head-start without clearly telling anyone else what the plan is. -
Looks like cherry to me. Bit of goat willow as well.
