  1. No mountains here. I wash my hands of this pointless discussion.
  2. If this man came up to me in the street demanding to know my name, where I live, and where I work, I wouldn't tell him. Why would it be any different online? Some information doesn't need to be shared with every faceless weirdo. Anyway, I don't even know why I'm fighting Steven's corner for him. Hang on... is that his real name? Not very anonymous, is it?
  3. I shouldn't be, and I'm not. But I have been told to be scared, in a laughable display of faux machismo. I bet their dad could beat up my dad, too. My, what a pointless thread.
  4. Ah come on, that's too quick. Leave us something to complain about
  5. Sorry Rich, if that IS your real name, but you seem to have allowed the point that Mr Yourn Amehere was making to flap gracefully over your head there. Personally, I wouldn't begrudge anyone wanting to remain anonymous on here after being told, repeatedly and in no uncertain terms, that we should be afraid of some members.
  6. What about with one strapped to each foot as well?
  7. 225 does seem tempting, where is that? I was toying with the idea of a 2511, but at less than half the price you could get two of the cheaper yokes, have one in each hand, and be twice as productive!
  8. Cut in half and one up-ended, they make great tree nurseries. Here's the team potting on oak trees, from a few hundred acorns shcattered into each tub. The owner of these ones cut the cages too, but they aren't needed to hold their shape. They can also be used as raised beds for vegetables, fruit bushes, etc. The outside could even be clad with something for aesthetics.

  10. Don't forget to read the first instalment of this story here:
  11. In a nod to my previous existence when I was resident in France? Ash trees with dieback. Contentious opinion: they aren't afflicted with ivy, they are afflicted with dieback. Ivy doesn't kill trees, it helps dying trees down to the ground. On healthy trees it forms some sort of... not symbiosis, as such, but certainly a non-malignant parasitic relationship, and it reaches a certain limit that the tree is able to deal with. It is just more noticeable these days because we have fewer trees in general, and a lot of those (certainly here in Ireland) are ash with dieback. Prime real estate for ivy. I love ivy. Great plant.
  12. In the nick of time! The ground is dry at the moment, but even so, I'm not sure the Passat would make it out of here at the end of the day. Just ringing up fallen trees today, no muscle work for Bluey yet (as my wife has named it), but hopefully soon enough.
  13. Thought this thread was worth a bump.
  14. Give a few tree surgeons in your area a call or a text, you'll definitely stumble upon one eventually who, like me, will gladly go out of their way to provide something like that for kids to enjoy. Edit: You'll inevitably get some moody gits too, but you might soften them with the offer of beer, money, or other trade.

    Cramp .

    Muscle cramps can sometimes be a lack of various minerals like potassium, magnesium, calcium. Foods high in these things could help: banana, avocado, maybe blueberries? Everyone always recommends blueberries for everything.
  16. Nonsense, that bit was chunky enough. That could have ruined someone's roof if you threw it down on one.
  17. Man, I love it when the mewp gets delivered at 1130. Downed tools at 1800. Still got a bit to do with it tomorrow. Couldn't even be angry with the delivery driver, he was such a happy chap, and it probably wasn't his fault anyway.
  18. That's shite, sorry to hear that Stubby.
  19. Another vote for the 2-in-1 from me. Cuts the job in half.
  20. Any ideas? An auld fella next door to where I'm working today just brought me these, asking what he's just been given a trailer of. I asked for buds, he says he probably couldn't find any. Ash, I'd say?
  21. Ho ho ho! RFK Jr. says vaccines are 'most effective way' to prevent measles WWW.STATNEWS.COM Health secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said Sunday that "the most effective way to prevent the spread of measles... WASHINGTON — Health secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said Sunday that “the most effective way to prevent the spread of measles is the MMR vaccine,” his most direct statement yet on the issue, following the death of a second child of the condition in the outbreak in West Texas. Kennedy, who has long described the vaccine as dangerous, has largely avoided endorsing its use since the start of the outbreak, and he stopped short of explicitly saying he “recommended” it in his latest remarks, as public health officials have called on him to do.
  22. Well, just promise us you'll be careful.
