Meanwhile back in blighty it's raining, endlessly. Remember when all the talk was about drought...

Why are young’ish people leaving the job market?

I'd watch your step there, I suspect she's catfishing! -
Hope he finds his way home somehow.

Of all the things someone could set alight in Edinburgh, to choose the wreaths laid on the war memorial for remeberance Sunday is pretty low. Edinburgh's War Memorial set on fire by vandals WWW.BBC.CO.UK It comes less than 24 hours after Remembrance Sunday services were held there.

Chris is one of the recommendations I would make, really knows his stuff and Treevolution are very good to deal with.

I think the way to get better at climbing is to climb, if you're not getting the opportunity at work then try getting someone to go with you in your own time. You could offer to take down a rigging block at the end of a job, use your break to go up and down a stem on spikes...

Recently at work we've had a laugh with movie titles using Arb related words levered in to the title. Here's a few that came up, any other suggestions folks? The hunt for red karabiner. The spy who felled me. Lawnraker. Lumber jack city. A fistful of bullrope. Arb wars - revenge of the GRCS. Zigzaglander. X-ring men. Spruce almighty. Snow White and the 7 groundies. Arbpocalypse now. The groundsman's tale. Attack the rigging block. Arbpollo 13. Saws. And a special mention for former member CambridgeJC... Indiana Jones and the ivy of doom.

I could recommend training providers that wouldn't muck you around like that in the Dumfries or Edinburgh areas if travelling a little further is an option for you.

Interesting little job this morning, removed a Douglas Fir from the Ettrick Water Footbridge in Selkirk. Current was strong after the recent deluge, could really feel it tugging at the valtra when winching, like having a huge fish on the line.

Presumably it can be seen by staff, patients and visitors so is deemed to add amenity to the area? To answer your questions directly... I wouldn't just do it, it's unprofessional. You don't tell the Council, you apply for permission. They can say no. I don't know what happens if someone hangs themself after refusal for works. I wouldn't dwell on the rights and wrongs of the TPO existing John, speak to the Tree Officer and ask their opinion on the proposed work, it might not be an onerous task to get permission.

Like the blue tongue I'm using just now with a zigzag.

I can't read that without hearing it in Sean Connery's voice.

Could have fun with that idea... For Sale, small pieces of fresh timber for temporary wildlife habitat pile. (PLEASE be careful as these pieces have the potential to become flammable in the mid to long term).
