The de-forestration of Scotland

(please note this is in "Chat". Not "Environment")

Was that a Freudian 'r', Jings?

I was just going to apologise for the misspelling. (It's early. For me)

Say it quickly and it sounds just about right for the chainsawer.

Does anyone understand what Jings is on about?
Has Bags been chopping down trees again?

How big are the trees, jings ? If they are just saplings, would they hold the weight of a gransnetter? Most of us are fairly . . . substantial.

Thatbags should clarify this. We don't want to send a deputation up a tree just to have the trunk bend over and drop them onto the boggy brae.

If I were to believe that b was engaged in the de-forestation of Scotland then I would be most unhappy. #crosspollinationofthreads

Och nae! We wouldna want any damage done to a puir wee lassie now wud we?

Kangaroo court before we start? (just as a formality you understand)

That was in reply to E.

F - only pulling her wee leg.

In the unlikely possibibility that one slender gran is capable of deforesting,in her lifetime, ALL of Scotland. How long would it take all the Scottish grans?

If seven maids with seven mops, swept it it for half a year
Do you suppose the walrus asked that they could get it clear?

Kangaroo? Are they eucalyptus?

And probably upsetting a good proportion of gransnetters who have got quite enough on their plates at the moment. (Sorry)

What the.......?

J - I know! I forgot to put a wink! Brilliant thread that makes me laugh.

This gave me a chuckle jings. Especially your Scots interpretation??
It wis braw

Yes. I thought it was rather good!

I must awah into toon now to do a wee bit o' shopping.

Scottish grans - don't hit me.

Jings what are yoo on aboot? Canea get tub grips wee thes thread at awe.?..

It's just a mild piss-take of Bags, Thistledoo.

She's always grabbing a chainsaw and going out to her garden.

Think you'll have to do your trademark shout out to Baaaaggggggssssss

Jings crivvens and help ma boab!!

Ok Jings got it now. Do you think Bags is becoming dangerous, maybe we should all go to her house and investigate this strange behaviour with said chainsaw. We could all take cake to calm her down!

Oh, hello!

Don't worry, jings, there are more seedlings and saplings than I can cope with. It's mainly rhododendron I have to hack back and make into firewood. And then there are the old trees that fall over in our garden—threewithin the last year and another one going.

My next tool will be a log splitter. The current log splitter (MrBags) is wearing out.

Google chainsaw sculptures. I wish I was skilled enough to do amazing stuff like that.
