Have you🤔

Are you creating a right angle sharp edge? If so the more you sharpen it you create a possible fracture line and break the top of the cutter off? Especially in hard wood. Just my small brain thinking out loud🙄

Tight is nothing new in Scotland 🤔. looks like a well executed, tidy job Mr Blair👍 I see there’s mains hook-up in one photo? Is that Sturgeons motor home parked at her holiday home😂

Like the 99% of reported rapes that do not lead to conviction and not all rapes are reported. It’s a shame the police don’t put as much effort with the investigation in all rapes. Rape victims are not always believed🤔 men and boys get raped as well so that’s rubbish.

Is that the same whip she used when she got up to some Hanky Panky with Corbin 🤔

Cos she’s a dirty thieving toe rag 🤔.

At least your not saying there’s 2 or 3 tonne of wood and open to best offers. You’ve made a good job of cleaning of the ivy🤔

And several thousands of pounds for van repairs or a write off? It’s not just the loss of kit? How much time off work did he loose with all the hassle of reporting, waiting for probably a no-show from plod? Sourcing a replacement van, tools, lost work etc. bastards need throwing in the stocks as a minimum and then some🤔

There’s a couple of chaps on here with mobile log processors, it might be worth you getting them in to process into logs and you’ll double your return🤔

I would send the photographs and location of tree along with your concerns to the head of the local council, parish council and highways department. Ask for a written response from all of them. You could add that if the tree was to fail and God forbid - injure or kill some one you would pass all the details to the HSE and any lawyers that could be involved in any resultant legal case. They have a duty of care to keep the public safe.

As Mark says, your either wet “from rain or sweat” if your doing manual tree work? Buy some fancy expensive jackets and trousers if you like but prepare to have it scagged the first time you start throwing some narley barked oak about or scrambling through a big black thorn to get to the base of a tree. I go cheap and many? Carry a couple of spares to change at break time along with a fresh tea shirt or other top underneath, and a towel to dry off and away to go - again😳. And when really soaked and moral is really low - into spare dry kit for the trip home. Did a tree job recently on a small development site where we were soaked by 0930? About 11 we went into the site hut for a bite to eat and a tea. The youngest of us (25) was like a drowned rat, the other two of us had spare kit and proceeded to dry off and put some dry kit on. The younguns bottom lip nearly hit the floor. Gave him a tenner to pop to Tescos garage to get some coffee’s, otherwise I thought he was going to throw the towel in(which he didn’t have!) I’ve been telling him for years to bring spare kit - he does now? He’s also stopped gobbing off about working with a couple of geriatrics!

I’ve found that my chainsaws are much more willing to work in the rain than I am😳

Bought a smart phone outright several years ago and then a sim only vodaphone package for £12 a month years ago and I’m already quids in🤔. Recently got rid of BT land line and Broadband and taken out a Vodaphone landline, broadband and mobile phone sim only package for Mrs and me for £47 a month. A lot cheaper than BT and separate mob phone packages. Broadband no worse that BTs which was rubbish. Have never had Sky because I probably watch too much crap on telly as it is without scrolling more channels. Only downside was when England rugby went to satellite for home games.

Reading through this, are you sure? “there will be some kind of plan in place”? Cos I’m not so sure. Not convinced that falling it all downhill towards the extraction point is ideal if your going to winch it out. Sounds like a cluster🤔.

I wouldn’t bother. Summer is definitely coming, it’s on the calendar 🤔.

So you’ve been asked to be a consultant to an App design company on a subject I presume you carry out as a business? but throw it out to an Arb forum🤔. What’s your input for your fee? As I thought a consultant would be the subject matter expert🤔. I think a researcher would be a better description and justify a lower fee!

Ask a mate(or two) if you can try theirs? Even the most expensive/ comfortable ones just tried on in the shop might seem ideal but after an hour or two up a tree they could turn out to be torture. We all have a wide range of lower leg length/ muscle/ bone/ weight/ boot size and width etc even with adjustment it’s not necessarily the case that all spikes can be adjusted to suit all types.

Wants a blank canvas🤔 development site🤔

Looks like Ash Dieback to me. It’ll never recover and form a good tree, cut it off at ground level this winter. It’ll shoot new growth in spring which will then probably suffer dieback again so if it was me I’d poison stump with eco plugs and plant something else to replace it asap.

I’m not so sure putting the clocks back for winter is a good thing, I know it’s supposed to be safer for kids etc to go to school and work but they’ve forgot they have to get home as well?

With it being dark just after 4 every day now feels like a late finish?

How come I can’t find someone local to me that wants to split some wood for a day(for nothing😳) and take part of it away as payment (in full) and in doing so go towards my use and also clean the bloody yard up🤔it’s just not fair😫

Is that an atom splitter or something bigger🤔

Buy and large the other parties generally supported the Government on the response to Covid. Labour had no ideas of their own only splinters in their arse from sitting on the fence.

Didn’t think it was the UK government who led us into Covid? I always thought it was the Chinese🤔. Funny how they’ve coming out of it as one of the current leading economy’s?
