Beech Trees at risk

Your not a real jock, though, are you dendy? :D

 

Good old Linnaeus, sorting out this mess. Lets hear it for the Swedes!

 

What????? Not a real Jock?????? Moi! Well, my birth certificate mentions Bellshill, and I went to school in Hamilton.... and I THINK they're in Scotland :rolleyes: They were the last time I looked! Oh, and yes, my family has their own tartan (Erskine) and motto ( Je pense plus), so yes, I guess I'm a real jock after all, Pete!! (BTW, you're not the only one to doubt it, Pal's not too sure if I am either! :D :D )

She's a genuine bonnie Jockette Pete. And I can tell cos I'm a genuine sassenach immigrant and can tell the difference

 

:D

 

frogesque - it did have a TPO on it (if thats what you wanted to ask), but its easy to get someone to say it is unsafe round here as they are frightened that if it falls on you and your house that they will be liable.





as you can see, this one was very at risk!

Dendy I'm sorry for getting the wrong end of the "caber"( Scottish for stick), I thought you were a southern import to north of the border.
Didn't realise you started out up there and have gone back. :D

 

Good job you translated that, Pete, or I'd never have known.... Ah wis in a fair stooshie, ye ken.

 

So who s this Ken bloke? :D

 

That would be telling! There are lots of them out here in the east - ask Froggy! :rolleyes:

 

It�s nae a� that important but are ye sure ye didnae mean fankle rither than stooshie? Dis yer wear yer nicky tams when yer oot in a� that glaur? Sicht a bonnie wee skelpit lassie like you oucht nae tae be clumpin thro glaur an heavin muck ower middens. Ye oucht tae be ben the hoose makin brose or summat fer yer man rither than oot gettin clarty.
:D :D

Of course I do, Dave - bit I doubt many others would! :D We're ever so slightly off thread, here.... so apologies everyone. And no, I did mean stooshie, definitely not a fankle! Think you're haverin' - and the feminists would be after you, if they had a clue what you were saying!

 

Aye I'm jist a haverin auld sassenach

As you say dendy I think we are a bit off thread here, have an idea I might be a bit responsable.
Dave, nice to see you've picked up a few words of the local lingo.

 

I spotted this yesterday on a Beech tree...is it the begining of the end??
