I had to remove a tree last week that had fallen on the phone cable. Amazingly the cable didn't snap, there is so much slack in those things.

I've perked up now when I asked my boss for OT to get all the enormous piles of work done over the weekend and he said no bother, also your day rate is £180 a shift

How long is a shift?

Aww man, I just saw the news that Jonah Lomu died. Feel sad now :(


(re: treechat - chainsaws are fantastic for chopping up trees, I helped my brother in law earlier this year and we took down what amounted to a tree (in branches) chopped them up for firewood and dragged one of those 1 tonne bags into the barn (which is still standing afaik).)

None of sausageman's wares at Newcastle Christmas/Continental market yesterday. Got soaked for nothing. Pedricko's dethroning from King of the Thread further justified. Too much Sicani in Carluccio's took the edge off somewhat :gbsmith:

I liked Newcastle, it was nice, the food was good and the people were lovely. Hull was a lot better than I was expecting as well although the deep was poo poo.

Was it a good barn?


learnincurve posted:

It clearly wasn't a very sturdy barn.

I had to stop posting due to a power cut.

It was a very old barn, half of it was taken down to be rebuilt because it was unsafe. Turns out the other half wasn't safe either.

It's also listed, or was.

"The 18th Century prototype for the chainsaw was used as a surgical tool for dissecting limbs and symphysiotomy. Symphysiotomy is a surgical operation in which cartilage is cut out of the pubis in order to widen the pelvis and allow the baby to pass through." OH GOD WHY DID I LOOK THIS UP?
