    I realise some of you will have been losing sleep wondering how I am going on with my conifer, well - having taken delivery today of a new chainsaw chain the roots are no more and it toppled over with some persuasion, I just need six volunteers to help lift it out

    Can't self-distance doing that, you'll have to wait a while (or make a "feature" out of it)?

    It is slowly being dismembered - I just don't want it to rain! This is what life has become talking about a bloody tree

    seriously? You used a chainsaw on the roots? that chain and the bar must be trashed.

    that's what big 4 wheel drive trucks or even better some explosives are created to do! dig a trench around in and dig a channel through the roots to get a truckers chain through it. Hook up the tow hook below the bumper pull tight slowly and then rip the thing out. May take a couple of tries but it will come out. Make sure no ones standing around the radius of the chain in case it snaps. I suspect that a good 4 wheel drive truck might be harder to come by in the UK than Indiana.

    Good news - The store had Liverwurst today!

    I dug the roots clear first, but still heavy on the chain, I like the four wheel drive approach but it's a bugger driving down the three foot gap between the house and garage

    You should've cleared the house out of the way first to get the 4 wheel through.

    In work today and a customer asked me "In what aisle could I find the Irish sausage?"
    I said "Are you Irish?"
    The guy, clearly offended, says, "Yes I am. But let me ask you something.
    “If I had asked for Italian sausage, would you ask me if I was Italian?
    Or if I had asked for German Bratwurst, would you ask me if I was German?
    I said "No, I probably wouldn't."
    The guy says, "Well then, because I asked for Irish sausage, why did you ask me
    if I'm Irish?"
    I said , "Because you're in ****in Halfords mate ."
