touch and go with the urine soaking, but tips 'em over the edge with the laughter, I like it, and might try it. (just Googling Vincent Price soundbites)
I was thinking through the petrol idea. I would have to extend the waterhose line ready but could reach from a ladder at night, maybe bleach as well but worried that tree could fall down on lighting if trunk is really hollow..
done it before but it's a tinderbox at the mo' with lots of dead stuff, will be hard to control the inevitable fire.
Well it’s getting close to Bonfire night a few pallets against the base of the tree some Petrol and an ignition source. What could possibly go wrong.......
just got brave and did Phase one, cleared area (not a single wasp out) put up ladder (same) hit tree hard and loud (not a dicky bird or a wasp). Up the ladder, a few rubberneckers at the "mouth", half a gallon of petrol dahn the 'atch, tried not to fall down the ladder on descent. Watched for five minutes, nothing.. Checked for other exits, looks as though this will be easier than I thought but no way of knowing how far down trunk they are, might try a stethoscope at Phase II. I reckon "traffic" was about 3 a second, almost constant at times today so has to be pretty large. I even checked for tree falling and it's fine, has a nice lean our way and no telegraph wires. (lol)
Had a ride up to North Berwick and a coffee at Drift which has stunning views of the Bass rock. Almost turned round at Carter Bar on the way up as it was raining and misty but the weather cleared and it turned out to be a nice day. Heated grips were definitely on for the journey home though.
I saved a huge amount on my car insurance today. I put it into reverse and left the scene a bit sharpish......
