Tree outside my flat

[_pH_]

Hehe, you and the other 97% of people doing the Prof Dip I think only one person passed last year. Seems to me there's something a bit wrong with a qualification that no one can get

yeah, i know. RFS though innit? they're stuck in the past, even the linky up with ABC Awards doesn't seem to have helped much

sorry mate, still havent replied to your pm

It aint growing back now!

Fungal Brackets in the trunk...apparently!

I am in mourning for my tree

hard to see for certain, but, yes, looks like a cavity in the main stem, possibly with a residual wall thickness < (r*0.3)

Actually, they've just put a bit of the fungus from the base of the trunk on to the stump to show us concerned citizens that the tree was indeed sick and dying.

..look look it's a big bit of fungus!

I really really wish I was still treeclimbing, surely it's the best job in the world if you can make it pay? Such great people to work with too. Loved it.

If I were to drop out and abandon Chemistry, Tree Surgery is top of my list of alternative carrers

RIP Tree

I wondered why I didn't see the tree when I drove in tonight. When did they take it down?

My son says it is indeed full of fungus.

One of the coolest things I ever saw was a couple of tree surgeons swinging and abseiling around the trees in Grosvenor Gardens SW1 when I was on a looong laaazy comedown from a ton of beans at Notting Hill, sitting on a bench waiting for my train back to Brighton. 2000, I think.

You tie your chainsaws to your belts?!

Did some work at a university in the early 90s... we made sure we were abseiling, sweaty dirty 6 packs out, when the pritty gurls were walking by.

Always a hit. Apparantly only firemen score more highly.




Shame I turned into a fat unhealthy bastard when I stopped.

That's always the way though innit? You have to eat so much to keep your energy up doing tree work. when you stop it's not easy to give up eating the food, so you turn into a fat git (like me )

I'm almost the exact same weight, but Christ knows the muscle:fat ratio has gone very badly wrong.


Being diabetic doesn't help,

Neither does the Ale.

Or something wronmg with the selection of people admitted to the course.

I know people can't pass so we'll make the exam easier, Blair has pushed this policy forward with general eductaion and look where it has got us!
