What now?? Hung tree didn't come all the way down... !!
Doug Tait replied to Bosty Dave's topic in General chat
Have you any option to pull it down with a winch of some kind -
You have some catching up to do, 254 notifications!

Do you even use a flask Andy? I imagined you'd have a Butler available for that sort of thing!
-
Shame, do you know if he's well? Gary has been on a sabbatical as well, anyone know how he is?

Handy if your in town but got to be self sufficient here, no guarantees a customer will offer and we're often miles away from civilisation. Today clearing windblown on a walking route by a river was fully 60mins walk/drive from a shop

I'll have to keep making you sad Joe, the aeropress looks like too much drama for a tiny cup for me. I'd break it first time it got rammed behind the tractor seat!

I wouldn't feel right using bleach. It wouldn't make tea taste worse though! Always coffee for me
-
Mr Cropper, have you hacked eggs account?
-
No chance of special dispensation taking into account my lazy streak I suppose

Leave it out mate, you're "meddling" with new badge possibilities.

A customer made us coffee the other week, an older "cat lady" type, the kind of place your thinking this won't be good. She said she only had powdered milk but it was lovely, wonder if it's the same stuff... Will try that thanks.
-
Coffee thanks for asking, milk and one please. What's coffee compliment?
-
An arbtalk first. New badge in the post then! I do like to just make it in the morning with everything in. Know folk that'll take milk in a separate flask but all I see is an extra flask to clean, really lazy. Have used cheaper flasks in the past that I had to keep milk separate or it just went off but Thermos were always fine if clean.
-
Must be a lot of flask owners here, care to share your tips for cleaning them? I've got two Thermos, the soup flask which is easy to clean as you can get a scrubber right in to it, but the coffee flask is less accessible. I rinse it thoroughly every night and let it steep at the weekend with bicarbonate soda, but it's not clean. Eventually it builds up a layer of gunk that flakes off in lumps into your coffee, and it seems to let the milk go off quickly. Someone suggested Sterident tablets which I'll try but glad to hear other suggestions.

48hrs is too long. He should go immediately along with all the trumpets that keep excusing and supporting his behaviour publicly.

Pay attention Bond.

You did well with that AJ, good to see 👍

To continue the theme, more random ones. Ted and Ginty Santi and Bella The boys at work, chillin in their "yard bed" Santi, The Hound of the Baskervilles

It's so you can stand in the safe position behind the mower with the safety handle held and still reach the pull cord to start it. In the pic it's not tied off but fed through a little ring on the frame to keep the handle in reach.

What to do with Live Oak roots running on the ground
Doug Tait replied to Johnny Miller's topic in Trees and the Law
That, or it's very far away. -
local wildlife (fur,feathers and beasties)
Doug Tait replied to Adam Bourne's topic in Picture Forum
Found pics from a few years back, taken early on a July morning. Hope the romantic nature of it doesn't put anyone off their lunch. -
That explains why some weeks I feel like I've got really fat hands!

When I see these love island starlet types I often think Rough Collie. High maintenance and dull. Border though, only thick ones I've known got kicked in the head a lot by horse/cattle. Whether they're thick because of being kicked or they get kicked because they're already thick I've never worked out.
