Why do men...

[Prudie]

.. go absolutely berserk when armed with a chainsaw and loppers in the garden? Grrrrr.

2 -1 for brazil
full time

[joggerjayne]

Oh, right.

On the radio, they thought Brazil would be scoring for fun.

The whole tournament is becoming a total bore, isn't it ?

[beejay1124]

the early matches usually are JJ-teams afraid of getting beat in the first match (would leave them with a battle to qualify)--those wee chinese blokes did some running about there
hi cazz

[Woody23]

JJ - talk about what you know about.

The tournament lasts a month, no-one wants to lose their first game. Gets interesting in the knockout stages...

[AlBags]

You never asked Prudie ... I have a couple of chainsaws .. and very sympathetic with trees!

[cazzz1975]

hi beejay xx

I felt sorry for the koreans, they looked genuinly scared of the brazillians, it didnt help that they were all so small.

[Prudie]

Regrettably too late and in all seriousness I'm quite upset at what's gone in my garden this evening when I wasn't there! :-x

[AlBags]

Oh dear .. was this a local gardener?
I look after a lovely garden wood for a friend. 60ft Birch, 2x 40ft. Chestnuts, Oak, S Chestnut, 2x Dark leaved Maples, 2x Beech, old W Willow with a trunk about 8ft. around it, and various other small stuff. Took me 2 days of cutting last autumn, and logged up the lot. About 2 years worth to burn! Just thinning out!

[Prudie]

No OH and our neighbour. Meant to be removing a small silver birch that rubbed and squeaked against a fence plus a couple of feet off the tops of some others. Result complete removal of birch, 3 twisted willows, a laurel, swathes of virginia creeper and a flowering cherry. All reduced to stumps. Just thinning out??

[AlBags]

Does sound like they want a bit crazy. You must have been mad : (

Yep .. Most are huge. Too much cover.
I was cutting boughs off a between 5in and a foot thick.

Having a nice few days restoring/stripping some 1750 panelled doors with iron/brass rimlocks, and some Victorian window shutter sets (which are going back on the inside of that old window I replaced)

[craft1948]

My daughter has a chainsaw...........now she IS scary.

[AlBags]

To keep her husband in order?
Like Kathy Bates in Misery, is she? lol

Oh yeah ... must have slept through that sledging bash the other month too

[rowanwitch]

I won't buy a chain saw, I do enough damage with telescopic and ratchet loppers secateurs and shears.... When I'm on a mission I can fill a roll of green bags in an hour.....There are some overgrown leyllandii at the end of the garden that look pretty tempting as it happens

[Hopkirk]

You can't be too brutal with a leylandii. I hate them.

[rowanwitch]

I do too, but they were there when we moved in and its a rented property, I will be topping them at around 2m when I can borrow a safer ladder setup. Housemate loves them as they completely hide the house opposite and damp down the noise from thier kids
