Went to school in Westcliff on Mud.
All our beaches are covered in both dog and human shit.
Anyway, had spring tides, so they have all vanished for a few hours.
Apparitions appear at night though.
I see people in shop doorways at night, their cans of drink seem to be at just the right temperature for drinking, well judging by the number of empty cans anyway.
Can lend you one day of mine.
And a tripod to cold a camera steady while you chop things off.
Slightly more serious.
Get a sanding disk in an angle grinder and you can sand it away if the stump is dry.
Chainsaw don't work too well on dry wood, same as fine toothed saws. All gets a bit sticky.
Friend of mine's brother did the same, but on helicopters.
Had to retrain, at his own expense, to work on civilian helicopters. They were often the same machines. Literally the same ones, bought off the MOD.
I have a degree in renewable energy, I am still expected to do these sort of technicians courses.
Really does make one wonder what a science degree is for these days.
We are a strange race of people in the UK.
We prefer manual cars because automatics are boring.
But hate the idea of having to change a heating setting or two, because it is difficult.
