    Zero degrees here. Just walked the dog, waiting for the wife to get up to make my Saturday breakfast of bacon sarnies. Then shopping, followed by pricing work this afternoon. Oooh the glamour!

    Yep, the months fly past these days. Standard day today hopefully, oak to re-juice. No dramas needed before the weekend.

    I love the ‘I’ll pm you, lotta snakes on here’

    No jury in the land would have convicted you.

    What an odd passive/aggressive job ad! Seems like there’s a bit of a backstory here. Mine would be ‘Climber wanted, must be able to successfully perform his number 2s before coming to work’

    ‘I don’t drink coffee I take tea my dear’ Are you an Englishman in New York?

    A teabag and milk must never touch. Pulling a teabag out of a mug of tea where the milk has already been added is visually akin to the morning after a Barrymore pool party.

    I should have, after throwing it in her face.

    French often have a cold cafetière of coffee that the pour in a cup and microwave for you. It’s actually not bad.

    When they ask ‘how do you like your tea?’ I always say ‘whatever milk you put in, halve it and you’ll be right’ It turns up and it’s bloody awful, and I wonder what it’d be like if I asked for milky tea!

    Many years back, we were felling a load of oaks on a Saturday for a client. Big pressure on the job, 5 men on the job to ensure they were all on the floor before the planning officers got involved Monday morning. Anyway around 10.30 custy says ‘do you want tea?’ I say ‘ok’ a bit grudgingly but if it’s quick it won’t cost us any time. 20 minutes pass, then she comes out ‘ooh sorry I forgot, I was making tea wasn’t I?’ Another 20 minutes and out I comes, I take a sip…. tastes like soapy water..Earl Grey! I splutter ‘This is Earl Grey!’ She says ‘Don’t you like it? it’s all we drink’ We mutter, throw it on the ground and restart. An absolute disgrace 40 minutes x 5 men = 2 man hours up the spout for nothing.

    It’s quite normal. They break regularly, especially when left as a single tree like that, there’s a bit of included bark there as well, don’t worry about the leaves, killing the tree would be an achievement.

    Ah bugger, Terry Venables aged 80, a life well lived, full of achievement and excitement. Plus gave us the great summer of ‘96. Always seemed like a bloke you’d enjoy a beer with.

    The modern incarnations of Dr Who really is crap, imagine the original stories they could have filmed rather than this rubbish.

    They couldn’t start it till mid Jan. I’m hoping to fly my extremely handy brother over to do it between Xmas and new year.

    New Transit arrived. Got a quote for €5k for an arb body. Problem is they want it for 3 weeks. So I’m exploring other options.

    I don’t get it.
  21. Mick Dempsey
    But they haven’t monetised it here yet, that’ll come.
  22. Mick Dempsey
    Agreed WRC or Thuja puts out little heat.

    It’s all bollocks isn’t it? Some buzzword that companies can throw out there to get us to part with money. Like Pride, Halloween, Valentines and other assorted nonsense, they won’t be happy till every week it’s ‘buy something for this or you’re a Scrooge’ week. They’ll be trying to dump thanksgiving on us next.

    Check the clutch springs.

    I imagine it is, millions of acres of birch, easy to process, regenerates while your back is turned. Or am I wrong?
