  2. Ones gota give?! Either Wall goes but you say thats not an option. Or tree has consent to be dropped even with a TPO?!..... cos of wall and a mega engineering plan with a big cost, i’d say it out weighs a fell and removal i rekon.
  3. Wouldnt believe any of us if we said they were ours anyhow! [emoji2]
  4. Re-watched all of Thrones just of late, as not sleeping and need things to fill the gap. As of four weekends ago i’m up to S6 E2 tonight, Mr Snow has re-risen on the slab! Shall be up with the rest of you shortly. Must say, i’ve enjoyed it 2nd time round and cottoned on to things more easily from binge watching as a posed to watching it week by week! Defo one of the best tv series i’ve ever watched. [emoji108]

  7. This looks a neat thing Mark, but your coupling head looks different, so you could possibly change your head to accommodate? Heres the link to the site too.... http://www.truckerswarehouse.com/trailer-parts-decatur.php
  8. My dad used to have a ball type lock that sat up inside the hitch, only way to get it out would be to burn it out or use its dedicated key. Failing that you’d have to remove the complete head and fit another to get away with it. Some thing like this it was.... But was a different type of winding key, not just a standard allen key.

    Birds/Nests

    We get a fair dose of cormorant on the river below work, but there are two dammed sections which creates a slower water coarse so maybe this is why, as fish will prob be easier to catch? Regards the seagulls, i’m not a huge fan of them, but at the same time i’m not gona wish any harm on them either, but they are bloody noisey, and cheeky!

    We normally have shed loads ducking and diving about at work, but maybe only a handful this year. Weather changes are certainly creating waves in nature.

    Birds/Nests

    Loads of hedge / house sparrows as usual this year, maybe more, even bought a extra and bigger bird bath for them! (Little sods are nesting in my roof/ridge) Theres noticeably less crows hanging round the houses and gardens this year, but i’d say an increase of them along the wood/river at work?! Definitely less swallows at work this year in and around the buildings. Fewer starlings about too. We put feed out for the birds, so get the usual including tits, blackbirds, pigeons etc and do attract the odd pair of goldfinch. Another strange one this year i’ve seen is a big increase on seagulls overhead, they congregate on a couple of house roofs in particular on the estate, thankfully not mine, as they leave a right mess! This year i’ve seen four kingfishers up to now in total whilst out along the rivers. Not seen any for years so a real pleasure to see and watch.

    Jokes???

    Englishman: "That your dog?" Welshman: "Aye" Englishman: "Mind if I speak to him?' Welshman: "Dog don't talk.” Englishman: Hey dog, how's it going?" Dog: "Doing all right." Welshman: (look of shock) Englishman: Is this your owner?" (Pointing at the Welshman) Dog: "Yep." Englishman: How's he treating you?" Dog: "Real good. He walks me twice a day, feeds me great food and takes me to the park once a week to play." Welshman: (Look of total disbelief!) Englishman: "Mind if I talk to your horse?" Welshman: "Horse don't talk.” Englishman: "Hey horse how's it going?" Horse: "Cool." Welshman: (Extreme look of shock!) Englishman: "Is this your owner?" (Pointing to the Welshman) Horse: "Yep." Englishman: "How's he treating you?" Horse: "Pretty good, thanks for asking, he rides me, brushes me down often and keeps me in a nice stable to protect me from the weather." Welshman: (Look of total amazement!) Englishman: "Mind if I talk to your sheep? Welshman: "That sheep's a fucking liar!!” [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]
