Gap tree felled!!

[Herman30]

At times like these one would wish drawing and quartering were still in use.

Probably a seed dropped by a European swallow. It could manage that, at least….

Not a good name if it dropped it, surely?

A bit harsh! A bit misguided but he just wanted to put a sycamore back in the gap. Hardly worthy of medievalities!

I assumed he was talking about the chopper not the planter!!

Hold on!, innocent untill proven guilty remember. Let's not condem someone untill the facts are proven.
Is this the ex forestry worker that police found a chainsaw in his shed?....what a surprise! As an ex forestry worker, I too still (stihl) have a chainsaw. Perhaps, on that presumption, it was me.!
I understand people's anger, which I join in with, but , we need facts before any particular person is condemned. That young lad was being verbal kicked to bits as the culprit, a day or two ago.

Maybe it was a tad too subtle for you - think about the name again:
Tim Burr.
Just say it in your head without looking at the words...

Tim Burr = Timber = a joke.

Sycamore isn’t the best wood for carving or sculpture but I wonder how they will use the tree once it is out of the evidence room?

It's one of the best woods for carving and has traditionally been used for making treen, chopping boards etc as it doesn't stain or discolour and has antibacterial properties.

Maple is a fantastic wood to work!

Makes a lovely table top. Hard to find English Sycamore, the joiners here use French stuff.

They're both on bail.

It was indeed a bad pun and not intended as any public shaming of anyone real or imaginary.

No idea.
Angry, reactionary, old, white men* have been acting spiteful and cruel for ages, on both sides of the Atlantic.
No idea why anyone would be surprised it was committed by this demographic.
We seem to be quick to throw our hands in the air at the actions of young people, but it seems to me the old clearly have a lot to answer for as well.

*Of course, not all old white men are angry or reactionary. Just the angry and reactionary ones.

Over time passionate , reactionary white men have also acted against more negative and evil ideals and acts on both sides of the Atlantic and paid for following their conscience with their lives.

Respectfully.

Dangerous thing labelling and catergorization or pigeon-holing.

Who is this person?

 

[Pattree]

That’s Wolfy Smith isn’t it?

Power to the People - but he didn’t know who the people were or what to do with power if he ever got it!

Yep!
