If praying had been the single cause to the accident then the HSE wouldn't have prosecuted the garage. It would have been noted as an act of a god. That didn't happen. Accident happened as I noted above by human error. The lift could as easily collapsed while the man was under the car doing any other task. Only an idiot would think otherwise really, acts of god don't happen. The fact that the ONLY HSE prosecution you have mentioned on this forum involves a Muslim (who has suffered massive injuries by the way) is down to a single fact: JohnsonD is deeply racist and thinks that gloating on this forum is going to win favour with all and everyone. Note here: The man was seriously injured in a work place accident. JohnsonD didn't bring this to our attention to make all our garage work safer, he brought it to our attention to highlight it was a Muslim who was injured. I write this having looked at the HSE fatal accidents, if you want to teach us all a lesson, make our work with trees safer have a look through that - there is a listing - 2024 to 2025, several cases of arborists, farmers, forestry workers being killed in work. Why didn't you highlight any of them - relative to the forum, a better learning opportunity and a reminder to us all to be safe. Oh, yes, I know, none of the ones listed had 'foreign' names.....

Anyway, I saw this this morning: Trump has made 4 or 5 trade deals since his Tariffs / Tax on US importers. Probably 4 or 5, he doesn't sound convinced, so knock this up to another resounding success that the 140 trade deals, 2 a day trade deals and all the other rubbish he spouted didn't happen. Succeeding in all he says ? Trump Says US 'Probably' Has Four or Five Trade Deals UK.YAHOO.COM President Donald Trump says the US has made a trade deal with "probably four or five different countries," naming agreements with China and the UK. Trump also says they're close to...

Likewise, if I was Iran I'd be saying very publicly "Yes Emperor Trump (of the new clothes type), you did big damage, set our Nuclear programme back to the beginning, your Twatter postings were correct. No need to negotiate now, everything destroyed".... whether the damage was total or not. Then what could Trump do? Go very public and say "Actually what I said was wrong, we didn't do massive damage" which his ego wouldn't let him do, or walk away and leave Iran alone (which his ego would let him do).

Reading this, I am making an assumption - partly based on your bias against anyone whose religion is not of your approval, JohnsonD - that you are inferring that the man was crushed because he was praying and a Muslim? This must go down as one of the most ludicrous things you have ever typed on this forum. If I was you I'd be checking what gas is in those Scuba tanks you sniff all day long. Now that the HSE are involved - their primary work is accidents in the work place - the mans place of work. He could equally have been under the car doing an oil change, as anything else. Now your obsession tonight is a single point of failure has caused this, and that single point of failure is that single thing that could have been done to prevent an accident. Truth is, we don't know, which is why the HSE are investigating. I am surprised that you are unaware what the HSE do in investigations. When their investigation is completed we will know. I will bet you, lets say, your vanity van that the cause of the accident is not 'Act of a god' (you can pick the god too if you want). It will be something such as poor maintenance, overriding a safety mechanism, operator error. In fact if you have ever read any reports by the HSE, fatal accidents usualy stem from humans doing something they shouldn't or not maintaining something they should. I've never seen one report saying 'act of god'. If you want to continue to spou your racism, this isn't the forum for it.

... And yet when JohnsonD highlights any rape cases he always also highlights the fact that the perpetrators of his news stories are Muslim and always not-white. Hmm the irony of you moaning now eh?

Ground temperature is more stable about 1m down so another... Plus the winter and spring temperatures are higher

'white house not happy' they reckon when a TV screen piece of 'art' loops Trumpy (sex abuser, rapist, you know the rest) dancing with Epstein.

Is that one to watch with the headphones on?

So it is pretty much confirmed that the Iranians moved their stash of Uranium not long after Trump went on the social media to tell the world he's be dealing with Iran. So much for a surprise attack when you have said you'd be attacking. They are also saying that their facilities are damaged but not out of action long term - I'd go with that given that those around Trump favour the 'emperors new clothes' policies around him, tell him what he wants to hear and not how it is.

If you have the plans - from the land registry - this sets out where the legal boundaries are. We have ours and for the cost (think it was like £10 or £50) worth having. Without that I would also go with the chainlink fence being the boundary that is accepted in the past by both sides. I'll assume you are new to the house so don't know exactly. You can cut back up to the boundary but have to 'offer' the trimmings back if you do so (not sure if you need to knock on their door and say "do you want these"...) what I do is leave them on the lawn for a few days, if the neighbours ever complain then I can give them back. For a hedge of course most people who have civil neighbours it is not an issue.

Maybe it is a location thing, but all the guys I talk to round don't have a racist bone in their bodies. Apart from that, how are you doing with the search? Remember that not all tree surgeons and forestry workers are on here, and if they are not all the time either. Might be if you can narrow down 'lake district' a bit - Keswick to Eskdale is quite a mornings commute for example - and I'll assume you have transport to get to a base / site. Might also be worth digging out the yellow pages and making a few direct contacts as well.

For freezing you can get wart freeze spray from your local high street pharmacist if it works

This thread reminded me to do some reading - I really should get an extractor tool (was looking at the trail cam from the wood last night, the deer are quite enjoying it this year) - in a push you can cut a 'V' in the corner of a credit card, angle the edges like a knife edge (not too sharp) and the youtube reckons it works as well as a credit card tick remover tool you can buy... added bonus is I am likely to have a card with me when out and about for emergency coffee or ice cream

Just for avoidance of doubt, the republicans spent 7.6 Billion in 2024 election, drawrfing the 6.7 Billion the Democrats spent. And of course, the republicans had very public support of the owner of one of the largest social media platforms (given freely and $$ value of Musks time is not accounted for)... and still the Democrats cannot understand? Hmm... curious idea

How solid do you want them tied down? Sounds like you are doing enough so you don't loose anything - net on top should hold everything in place but there will be some movement whatever you do. If you want to add a little more security a tarp instead of a net on the remote chance log bounces clear out the bulk bag and through the net, tarp will hold that in. A thought, how many bags fit on your trailer? I'd maybe have it so each has a strap running mostly over it's centre, 6 bags and the middle 2 might need a strap going cross ways.

? What major war? Ukraine? No still on going Israel and Gaza? No, still on going Pakistan and India? Was done by direct talks with no US involvement Israel and Iran? I'd be willing to bet that they'll still be throwing missiles at each other in 12 months time

At 2 in the morning, is JohnsonD'Senior Dating alone in bed tonight?

and knowing Trump, a major strop on the way: Ukraine politician who nominated Trump for a Nobel Peace Prize has withdrawn the nomination - not for Iran but for not 'ending the war within 24 hours' Ukraine war Trump’s Nobel Peace Prize nomination withdrawn UK.YAHOO.COM Donald Trump’s Nobel Peace Prize nomination has been withdrawn by a senior Ukraine politician who accused the US president of appeasing Vladimir Putin.

It is also a slow burner - might not affect you right away but a couple of weeks after I'd also make a reminder while we are here about Weils disease if you've been working near water particularly and feel unwell. They were the 2 we were meant to tell the doctor about if we needed to go.

However if the tree fails in the next couple of years there could be some come back if the purchaser didn't think you have disclosed everything they think you should have. If after that the tree is thriving then you could argue that any future failure was not due to grinding out some roots. Next doors owner (HA) have made their path flat and smooth so might have been a tripping risk they had seen - better to do the job than defend legal action - so there might be something they can do to help if you want to remove the tree.

However that grammatical rule can apply equally to any monotheism religion. If the word is spoken you have no way of knowing either... so it is always worth asking. Anyway, aside from the facetious, Trumps renewed interest in 'god' in his twatterings, do you think he has a new bible to flog?

A quick quote from Trump: "I want to just thank everybody, in particular, God. I want to just say we love you God, and we love our great military, protect them. God bless the Middle East, God bless Israel, and God bless America." amongst others where he is emphasising his relationship with a god (which god is not specified). I wonder if he has a new Bible to flog, perhaps he has been working on a sequel in the background? "Bible 2: The Two Towers", and I guess the third book would be "Bible 3: The return of the king"

I'd have to go with A and E, petrol and man power - though I am imagining a coal powered trimmer, that would be interesting!
