Donald Sutherland, another brilliant actor gone. Oddball “why don’t you knock it off with them negative waves”

He’ll be fine, everyone should have quick clot or similar these days anyway. Also don’t let him shave or play with scissors? I’d be more concerned if he was on coke on the weekend or weed🤔

I’ve made notes throughout the game to enable me to make some constructive comment- shit!

You might be better sticking this in the Forestry section🤔

Did you get your own dog after Eggs?

What do you consider as general labouring? Arb groundy, breaking down branches with a chainsaw, cross-cutting, dragging brash, feeding chipper, raking up. Stacking/ loading wood etc?

Sub contractor Stourbridge wanted part time/full-time

Why 25 or over? Is that an insurance requirement. -
Just like a mild winters day here. Wood burners on for the evenings.

Being paid for the hours on site and not starting and finishing in yard is complete row locks. If your travelling from home straight to site because it’s closer and easier for you then it’s site hours. Same for subbies, if they travel to yard and travel with the rest they’re paid as well as far as I’m concerned. Thought there was a shortage of decent workers - vote with your feet.

Russian warships including nuclear submarine and frigate capable of carrying hypersonic missiles arrives in Cuba. Cancel your Florida hols. Is that good enough Mike🤔

Very very unlikely to be the same job or career path?
-
Why not? Won’t it go to his email account if still the same?

Spain was neutral. There were no German offensive forces in Spain, only intelligence and covert operations such as U boat refuelling etc. they could not of invaded Gibraltar from a so- called Neutral country without dragging Spain into the conflict.

The German advance didn’t stop at the British border, it stopped at the moat called The English Channel. If there was no channel and a land border they would have rolled up the UK pretty fast. The German advance also didn’t stop at the Russian border - it got to within 6 miles of Leningrad and 20 odd miles of Moscow. If the front line hadn’t moved faster and further from being re supplied they probably would have defeated the Russians. If they hadn’t of attacked Russia and concentrated on the UK we’d probably be reading this in German?

Does that include food and accommodation? The going rate for both seems to be about £500. As others have said try further south Edinburgh/ Glasgow?

Band blades for Norwood / Lumbermate LM29 ???

Spurside Sawworks Ross on Wye do an excellent job on circular and bandsaw blades if your in that region🤔 -
Yes you could. And then go on to be the deputy leader of the Labour Party🤔

He was right. Jack Russel, loyal, smart, small?

When you go and see them ask the thieving scum if they’ve sold my mates two terriers they nicked from his garden. Wouldn’t buy anything from a pikey - just encourages them to steal more!

Beat me to it when I was typing👍

As you’ve got to get parental consent to join military if under 18 will they have to ask their parents who they can vote for. Have to be over 18 to serve on the front line? A lot of under 18s are in full time education so arnt tax payers? - that was Labours idea to artificially lower employed no’s. So they’ve got that wrong haven’t they🤔
-
Such a pity, got all my TW spares from them, excellent service, good staff to deal with. They stopped doing TW recently so perhaps the writing was on the wall🤔. Hope the staff get snapped up by someone?

Non of us know the exact details? subsidence is thought to be because of the oak tree? Who says? Just because branches overhang the boundary doesn’t mean the oak is close to the house does it. What is the distance of house from oak tree. No mention of any pro survey, no trial pits to find roots? Nothing, nada? A letter on its own is not enough to make the owner of tree remove it? It would require a full inspection, survey and report, plus owner of said tree could question quality/ standard of build of house in the first place. We don’t have enough facts and the op’s gone walkabout looking for the trees owner🤔
-
It’s easy to let your heart rule your head over house purchases but I’m surprised you’re carrying on with the purchase to be honest? If you find the owner don’t expect any issue you have with the property to be sorted? Could take years - if ever to reach a solution and potentially £1000s in costs🤔

Installation of habitat in trees
dan blocker replied to [email protected]'s topic in International Arborist Forum
Like most things a few phots might help? A piece 600mm diameter depending on length is going to be quite heavy. It will also deteriorate quickly so will have to be wrapped in netting wire to prevent anything dropping? Apologies for having an inquisitive mind. But repositioning decaying poplar into another tree as habitat is bordering on complete bollocks. Go and source some oak with a hollow and it’ll last for years. What’s going to use a hollow in 600mm diameter lump of wood as habitat? A black bear?
