  1. Err, what are you on about you mong, birds aren't real. They are all government surveillance drones. Good luck training them to carry gravel! Rats have also been trained in mine sweeping work too, I believe. Occasionally with more, er, visibly successful results.
  2. Those power barrows are looking increasingly appealing. I'm moving a lot of rocks and gravel at home at the moment, that stuff is heavy, yo. Preparing some ground at my house for a birthday bouncy castle to be delivered this morning, by putting down a few sheets of DPM and mypex to keep it off the bare earth, then off to finish a job for an easy half day. Play safe, everyone.
  3. You f*cking wot mate?!
  4. He's a leggy fellow. Very clean. Those yonder don't look as easy though. No photos from the second part of my day, but topping three spruce that should have been taken to ground level. Two ivy-covered c*nts that tried their best to annoy me, but they could be dropped as two big heads at least; and one sparse and gangly thing right over a new shed and two little corrugated perspex buildings (henhouse and greenhouse I think) with the wind blowing the wrong way, so it had to be taken apart twig by twig. Still. Beats being indoors.
  5. Man, what a great film. Such a pity the sequels fell by the roadside (so I've heard... the reviews prevented me from watching them).
  6. Luxury! Back in my day you'd think yourself lucky for a twig of blackthorn to clench between your cheeks to warm yerself from the snow.
  7. I've got the approved voice for it, my pronunciation is so flipping received.
  8. Sounds like one of the lower circles of Hell to me, but best of luck with it.
  9. Nice little warmup for the day, I actually brought the waders as well just in case, but it turns out I can read the tide charts well enough so it was dry feet while tidying up this fallen oak in a tidal estuary. @billpierce Your 357 earning it's keep today! Salmon season starts any day now, but there were none running this morning. Baldric was disappointed.
  10. All messages if anyone wants to read them.
  11. What they need is a nice Passat. I'm selling one, if anyone is interested. Well, what's left of one.
  12. What have you ordered? Any more space in the back?
  13. An affinity for archery is one of the only parts of his English heritage I'm actively trying to encourage in my boy. He's only on suction cups at the moment, age 6... not sure what the appropriate age would be to move on to metal tips. Certainly not until he's shown he can be responsible with them!
  14. Yes, interesting. I suppose the blade of a thrown axe tends to stay aligned fairly vertically, or it'll not be as accurate, so grain vertical as well does seem a cheaper and easier solution than a 3 foot round of softwood or poplar. Doesn't really look as cool though, does it?
  15. 2"? What is this, axe throwing for ants?! So the end grain is pointing towards the ceiling? I've never thrown an axe, but it sounds like jolly good fun. Could I use my Fiskars x27? How about if I shorten the handle a little bit?
  16. I love this site sometimes. Always learning something new. Fascine - Wikipedia EN.M.WIKIPEDIA.ORG Besom - Wikipedia EN.M.WIKIPEDIA.ORG Edit: come to think of it, I'm actually removing a long row of birch and topping two more of the same in a couple of weeks time... not sure what you'd pay for transport from the west coast of Ireland though!
  17. Morning everyone. Tell you what, the day starts easier after your full 8 hours.
  18. The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans - The Atlantic WWW.THEATLANTIC.COM U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think...
  19. I'd agree with most of that, I think white or off-white could work with a few more things though. I did annoy her with an advert for a blue truck paired with a separate advert for a red canopy... just need a yellow bonnet and some mismatched doors and we are good to go!
