Yeah, changed a bit these days.
-
Historically, though not exclusively, climbing and tree work was often the last chance saloon for young men unsuitable through behaviour, education or other reasons, to make a living doing something approaching a ‘trade’
-
‘Narcissism is increasing’ Who says?
-
Different strokes and all that.

Palm tree fallen over… will it survive?

I had one of those, trachycarpus fortunii I think. I can’t see much hope for it personally. Get another one planted. -
I have a nephew diagnosed as autistic, the mother was over the moon about it, absolutely no effing way he was. All grown up now, doing great, no talk of autism.
-
Dunno. 75% of measles cases in the West Midlands according to BBC.
-
The average age of mothers is 3 years older than in 1991. 27.7 in 91 compared to 30.9 now. so there’s that.

Big laurel hedge reduction. Avant doing the biz. 25 cube of chip out of this job already. More to come.. 303cef17-4307-4191-9b12-aef245eb0ed4.mp4 -
They always were Steve, they just weren’t diagnosed. I went to school with autistic kids, we called them weird or whatever. Now they have a name that’s all.
-
It was linked to autism by people who were wrong.
-
Saw on the googlebox that the Indian and Pakistani communities don’t get their kids vaxxed cos they think it contains pork or something. Lots of clusters in the West Midlands…nudge nudge.
-
We hear that side to it for sure. But Russia has lots of men and control over the narrative internally. It’s a war of attrition now, as you said, there’s no movement in the lines. Glad I’m not there!
-
I think he’ll just wash his hands of it, withdraw funding, leave Ukraine with no option but to accept terms with the loss of territory. Russia claims a win, Ukraine joins NATO. Onto the next one.
-
On Twitter the Russians are very bullish. Trying to paint this as them against everyone, they took particular umbrage at German tanks being used the the Ukrainian forces. Using that to link this conflict (historically speaking) to WW11, painting themselves as fighting fascism etc. They’re deep in denial, no telling what they might do. Imho they’re hanging in for a Trump victory.

I read a lot about this stuff (on the internet) doesn’t mean I know any more than anyone else of course, just that I don’t waste my time doing anything meaningful or constructive when I finish work early, just doomscroll till the wife comes home. Anyway, one thing I have learnt, is that Poland is armed to the teeth with modern weapons and aircraft, has historical trust issues with Russia and is fully prepared to engage should it spread. Just an observation.

I think it’d be a waste of money. Much better spending it on an 8x4 tipping trailer. Just my opinion of course.
-
I had a 4wd one, was a great truck. If I were you I’d just build a chip body for the back and get a potato fork, three bits of chipboard will do fine, then you can collapse it when you don’t need it. It’ll take you 10 minutes to empty, save you thousands which you can put towards a decent truck. And yes I did this with a hilux for a year or so back in the 90s
-
Presume you mean the old Mazda built Ford Ranger?
-
Well yes, problem is it can distract the players for the rest of the season.
-
Klopp to leave Liverpool at end of the season. I am no Liverpool fan, but that bloke has been brilliant from the day he walked in. Clever, funny, never arrogant, and produced exciting sides that I have enjoyed watching. It’ll be a poorer league without him. If they win the PL and City get fined and relegated down to the Vanarama conference or whatever…..I will laugh.
-
Weather set dry(ish) for the foreseeable. Chance to get through some of the larger jobs that are sitting on the books in the coming weeks. Easy oak removal today, I always try and make Friday a bit of a breeze. Happy Friday everyone, roll on the weekend.
-
I’m not a muso, so am only really aware of the first album. It represents a very definite period in my life, and transports me back there every time. Better listened to than watching the video I reckon.
-
30 years since Dummy by Portishead was released. Brilliant.
