It's a bit late for the OP, but for anyone else reading this for the first 9 months after damaging a finger tip there is the best possibility of repairing sensitivity. You do this by constantly stimulating it with a small sharp stone or small bolt, rolling it between the affected finger and thumb every chance you get. After about a year the sensitivity will not improve much. Sorry slightly off topic, but it might help someone else.

Is Russel Brand 60 years old?

Will the compost/soil mix under the roots make any difference? Loving some of the eye watering price estimates so far! Moving it with a 16 ton track digger is the plan. Will keep you posted on how it goes.

Last autumn I cut back a beech pollard on a property for sale near me. The new owner has decided that they don’t want the tree as it’s too close to their house. They have offered it to me as I have the space for it, but it has to be moved now, not next winter. Has anyone here moved a large beech trunk during a wet summer successfully? It will be possible to water it in its new home. Should I put pipes under the roots? I’m thinking of putting a layer of well rotted compost at the bottom of the new hole mixed with topsoil to try encourage roots. Is there anything else I can do? It’s the tree in the centre of the photo.

More ag related than arb, but here goes, pull the entire tree to the chipper, sned off the light branches straight into the chipper and blow it into a tipper trailer, lift the heavy trunks into another trailer with the loader/ pulling tractor after cutting them into lengths. Have a few short lengths under the stack on the trailer so that the loader can easily get under the logs for unloading. Another tip is stack the branches butt end down against the chip trailer so you don’t have to bend down every time you pick up a branch.

Paddy’s girlfriend got a new tattoo of a seashell on her inner thigh. Paddy is delighted, when he puts his ear to it he can smell the sea.

What is the difference between a clitoris and bud light? A clitoris only tastes like piss for a second.

They're very prone to late frosts. If you can keep the pots at a south facing wall it might help.

Am I the only one who read that as trainers and accessories wanted?

Are they related to Phil?

Not an expert here, but could you cut them over size then plane them down straight to 6’’ x 6’’ after seasoning them? I did that with beech flooring and the floor is still level.

An Irishman walks into a pub in Dublin, orders three pints of Guinness and sits in the back of the room, drinking a sip out of each one in turn. ☘️🇮🇪 An Irishman walks into a pub in Dublin, orders three pints of Guinness, and sits in the back of the room, drinking a sip out of each one in turn. When he finishes them, he comes back to the bar and orders three more. The bartender approaches and tells him, "You know, a pint goes flat after I draw it, and it would taste better if you bought one at a time." The Irishman replies, Well, you see, I have two brothers. One is in America, the other is in Australia, and I'm in Dublin. When we all left home, we promised that we'd drink this way to remember the days we drank together. So I drink one for each o'me brothers and one for me self." The bartender admits that this is a nice custom, and leaves it there. The Irishman becomes a regular in the bar, and always drinks the same way: He orders three pints and drinks them in turn. One day, he comes in and orders two pints. All the other regulars take notice and fall silent. When he comes back to the bar for the second round, the bartender says, "I don't want to intrude on your grief, but I wanted to offer my condolences on your loss." The Irishman looks quite puzzled for a moment, then a light dawns and he laughs. "Oh, no, everybody's just fine," he explains, "It's just that me wife had us join that Baptist Church and I had to quit drinking. But it hasn't affected me brothers though."

Hardly any County tractors left in the back of an airport hangar so😢

Has anyone got a bit of inbreeding in their family tree? I know of a few cases of first cousins getting married and the kids seem to have turned out ok, well the ones that survived did anyway. I haven't done a DNA test yet.

I bought Lidl’s parkside battery saw just to try out one before spending big bucks on a main brand battery saw. I have to confess I absolutely love it. No smell of petrol in the back of the jeep. Great job up a tree or beside the chipper. Batteries can be used in other tools like an angle grinder or drill. Quiet to use. If it fcuks up it’s under warranty for I think 3 years. By then it will have paid for itself in petrol savings alone vs charging batteries at night rate. Ok if I was using a chainsaw all day petrol is the way to go, I am not an arborist so those days would be 10 or less a year, but if I’m cutting 12 foot by 6 inches thick ash logs for fire wood beside the house the battery saw is what I use.
