Morning all. Wasn't planning on being up but romantic pigeons on the roof put paid to that! Rugby for me today, got a couple of tree jobs to look at first so hopefully not a man of leisure next week. Hope Pete is well enough to get to the match, have a good one folks.

I would Les, except the last time I sparred with someone they actually hit my nose, did you know it bloody hurts? My eyes watered and as a kind lady dabbed the blood from my nose I snivelled to myself "don't like it". If it wasn't for that mate I'd go 12 rounds with you no bother!

They have to wear pads. The Marquess expects, no demands it!

Used to love it but stopped getting excited about watching with the pay per view thing. Never see it now, hope rugby tournaments don't go the same.

Bet it was what to expect from a prostate exam when the patient complains of not feeling two grand! Morning all, have a good day.

You were in before me Bob!

Morning all. Bit dull here but it's mild and dry so no complaints. Beard reduction to do today, need to let the air in a bit before nesting season! Have a good one folks.

Had a prostate examination this morning, the Doc said "it's remarkable, never in my entire career have I seen something like this!" as he pulled out £1950. I did tell him when I went in that I hadn't been feeling two grand.

Was at a wedding at the weekend. The vicar said "in celebration of the commitment of marriage, I ask all the married people to stand next to the person that has brought them so much love, worth and purpose to their life". The barman was almost crushed in the rush to be near him!

😂 Good man!

Big ol' Pine tree leaning about 45 degree angle

Hopefully it's just 'the mystery' left hanging in the air. -

I was just reminded of the visitor to arbtalk that thought the price he was given to remove a large hairy softwood was too much. Plucky chap was going to do it himself with a handsaw, motorcycle suit/helmet and some ladders that reached nearly halfway up the tree. That was a while ago, think he's still taking brash to the tip in his boot at weekends. Don't mean to discourage the op here. -

Think it largely depends on whether one of these is available... -

That's one possible way of seperating the trunk from rootplate but there's likely to be a lot more involved to 'get it down' than one cut, and an awful lot to go wrong in the process. Have you got photos of the tree, and what equipment/experience do you have? -
Bet it was round the back door too, less conspicuous

Morning all. Another bright morning here. Woke up hearing the birds singing again, the days are getting longer, little Cassie still doing well, very nice. Have a good one folks.

Laughing so hard at that Stephen thanks, fantastic. Have a great days flailing!
-
Morning all. Calm frosty morning here, meeting a mate for breakfast, lovely. Have a good one folks

Thought it made a lot of sense. Adipophilia (had to look it up) and a satellite view of something huge on the planet's surface seem to go hand in hand!
-
Thanks Maybe, received a message not long after this morning's post so there's a positive direction to look in. Fingers crossed.

It's Bob z l, a member here who recently handed in his notice with no plans for what to do next!

Morning all. Last day at work today, did a "Bob" and called an end to things. Not been very happy for a while and I've always thought life's too short to be unhappy. Said I'd stay until today as we've an arb assessment day, there's some talk of going back for certain stuff freelance but I'm not sure. Got no real plan as yet which may be a daft move but we'll see. What direction to go? Not seen anything interesting locally and not sure about travelling for work again but who knows. If anyone happens to know of something I'd love to hear about it! Anyway, for today at least I'm off to be a compliant Arborist. Have a good one folks.

I've heard there's a coffee shop in Englandshire that only takes bitcoin. Everyone free on Sunday afternoon? The boss is buying...

Reminds me... Teacher asks the class "can anyone give me a sentence using the word Contagious correctly please" "Yes miss" says Mary. "My mum said I can't go near my brother just now because he has measels and he is contagious" Teacher says "well done Mary, that was excellent. Anyone else?" "Yes miss" says Tommy. "My uncle got ill while he was travelling in Africa and had to spend a month in quarantine because he was contagious" "Again excellent, is there anyone else?" Neil puts his hand up. "My mum asked my auntie at the weekend for a lift to the shop. When auntie said would dad not mind because he was at home anyway, my mum said he was cutting the hedge and it will take the contagious.
