The Arborella should be as useful and versatile when it hits the market.

Did you stop?

They were double unlucky with metal in that log. After the mill found the big bit they tried cutting the end off and hit metal again with a 500i.

At the end of the England v Germany game, when the camera showed a young girl in German colours sobbing her eyes out some of the England fans cheered which seemed a bit out of order as well. The England team have really done themselves proud during this tournament, shame some fans can't manage it.

Spent the day feeding a woodmizer, great bit of kit. Boss has an LT15 but his pal brought an LT40 to help out. Pics aren't the same standard that this thread is used to unfortunately, it was a hectic day. Grand Fir, Larch, WRC, Beech, Elm and of course metal. 

There looks to be some barriers on the verge just beyond the staggered junction road sign.

I'll volunteer for all the jaggy jobs as long as he's nice to me! (hope the boss doesn't read that)

I'd think that because he is this kind of boss, the employees will look for any opportunity to go one step further for him too.

Credit to you for taking steps to help people, mental health issues will affect the majority at some point in life and I'd think it will only benefit someone to know their employer is accepting and prepared to help. The more open and supportive the people around you are when you're struggling the better. I spent a number of years in a bad place mentally after losing someone close to me suddenly after a road accident. All that was on offer to help was pharmaceuticals, suggestions of improving diet and excercise, and a 'get over it' attitude from many. I didn't try yoga with kassandra (it was before YouTube!), but agree with accepting that you can't change some things, and also accepting that life is still happening whether you want it or not. I also found I would severely lose my temper at bad driving, proper red mist descended and it scared me what could happen as I knew I was out of control. Even stopped driving to avoid it, but eventually I learnt to control those emotions by reciting Churchill speeches when I felt the mist coming down. Sounds daft but it worked and still does if I'm getting wound up.

As it's not a large tree you will probably be able to see any nests present from the ground. I think the Arboricultural Assoc. say bird nesting season in England finishes around end of August dependant on weather. You might also like to check with the Local Authority to see if the tree has any legal protection before doing any work.

Or a maths or geography teacher

I have an interest Andy, but don't we all!

Think you're right, that probably makes it a 10x8 apex without window

You lot aren't being helpful. It's obviously a Forest Garden 8x6 Apex shed, a little confusing as it's unusual to see them with laminate flooring

I've no idea Andy, I'm quite ignorant about these things and just assume they're all trying to hoodwink me. Strange though, haven't heard anything about it by email from them, only these notifications that appear on my mobile phone. Don't believe for a minute that it's against the law though. I had a similar thing with a bank ages ago saying I must tell them my town of birth and mothers maiden name, despite my actual bank having known these for years. In the end I filled in Timbuktu and mum became Elizabeth Windsor

I have tried entering all 0's but they wouldn't accept that, suppose only God has that DOB but how do they know I'm not God! Thanks for the suggestion

It doesn't say. I have a Google email account but that's all I can think of. Is it just a sneaky way of knowing more about me?

I've been receiving notifications from Google for a while now, pretty much every day, sometimes multiple times a day. Apparently, I must tell Google my date of birth. They claim it's required to stop them breaking the law. Does anyone else get this request, or do you know what law they think they are in breach of by not knowing the date I was born? I just dismiss the messages on this subject as I simply don't believe them, but it's really starting to annoy me now.

I think when the word "niggardly" was used on here it was too much for him and he bowed out

Nice to see Katie out with you

You're right, obviously we're just too agricultural to get the best out of the wee one. In the right hands tho...

If I was your groundsman I wouldn't thank you for that Paddy. Been in that position a few times, when "it'll make life easier, save you the drag", and it's just a slow, frustrating process. Recently we were offered to take the wee chipper to a little pruning job in an awkward bit, no thanks. Rather carry branches 1 or 2 at a time and pile up to chip in a few minutes at the end, or use a long thin tarp to stretcher them out. Anything but the wee chipper!

No doubt, proper riding 👍

You must've been as fit as a butchers doing that regularly. Did you compete with a team? Excellent photo

That's equally bonkers I'd say, but just never had the danglies to ride like that. Mate had a Cr250 and that gave me the fear, was happy on my little trials bike. Hats off to you for proper riding, and stubby too!
