Yeah... I don't think we disagree? At the moment I'm in a 1.9 Passat that I'm quite literally driving into the ground (story ongoing, as we speak!). I need a bigger vehicle. Sharon on the school run doesn't. She needs a mid-sized estate.

Bit of a difference between a 1.7 ford focus and a 2.5 or 3 litre pickup. I agree, pleasure boats and private aircraft are a joke, and need to be taxed out of existence.
-
I'm not telling anyone anything, drive what you like. I think a lot of people should be a bit more honest about what kind of vehicle they really need though.
-
That's the best any of us could hope for, really. Ideally not imminently, but at some point in the far future... that'd be great.
-
I'm looking at a Hilux at the moment. I hope they get taxed into oblivion for most people. I'll be using mine, but even out here on the west coast, most of them haven't seen a lick of work, and could easily be replaced by a mid-sized estate.

Real life versions going up all over the planet... this one in London.

"The United Nations voted in favor of the creation of an International Day of Hope. The only country to vote against: United States." “The Day of Hope resolution also recognized “the need for a more inclusive, equitable and balanced approach to economic growth that promotes sustainable development, poverty eradication, happiness and hope for all peoples.” A U.S. representative to the UN said the measure “contains references to diversity, equity and inclusion that conflict with U.S. policies that seek to eliminate all forms of discrimination and create equal opportunities for all.”

They are grand.

The timber croc style devices work great for long bits, I've used them at customer's houses before while processing and get on well with them. A good bit safer than holding it in place with a foot.

Fair point. But those people are why God gave us so many fingers, he expected some of them to be practice digits.
-
Yeah, but the manual ones come with a built-in safety feature.
-
I think those tend to work on electrical conductivity on a circular saw... probably wouldn't be as reliable as when used on living or wet wood. Might be harder for the sensors to distinguish between that or a finger. Reducing another escaped griselinia hedge today... man, I wish I'd invested in a finger chopper by now. It'd really take the sting out of a lot of it.

Have access to some wood...not sure what it is?

Lot of sycamore in post 1 think, and yeah, I'd agree with a bit of willow in post 2. It burns grand, especially when free, but do compare it against the legwork necessary! -
Welcome aboard! Just wait until you start to feel emotional towards some of the talking animal people. It gets pretty heavy.

God, I hope there's a story soon about someone he got on well with. It's starting to feel like late-stage Bojack Horseman.

There's a very good reason why... it tastes like ass. I try it every now and then to see if it's worthwhile yet... it never is. Tried it in a spicy stew with snails and chorizo once, that was probably the best version I've ever had. Would have been better without the tripe though. Ordered tripe sausage on a pizza once... with onions, cream, mustard and goats cheese. Big mistake. Couldn't eat it, even after picking it off. Tripe is why God gave us dogs.

I did a beech hedge for a fella recently, took me three days. I did an easy 160 one day, an angry 80 the next, and an early-finish 100 the day after. Big fat rootballs on the bastards, I wouldn't want to be aiming for 200 planted each day if they were like big hairy beech. It's very species dependent and it varies hugely with the ground, unless there's a digger driver involved too. As soon as you hit any kind of rocks or roots... that's your average time per tree screwed. For reference, I've also put in my time doing 1600/1700 spruce each day for forestry...

Jesus, I would have underestimated the everloving tits off of that one. It looks dense all right, though.
