Of course, there's never a bloody refill when you need one ... (after a few hours on the chain saw ... ) That's my miniature peach at the far left ... 10 gone, 10 to go ...

Pruning the miniature peach with a chainsaw? :shock:

Spose you you could be in a pub watching cricket and painting your toes nails - or you could be here!

Nah, I'd rather be right where I am, (post 59676) with all the good tennis action on the screen off to my left.

Both properties were purchased in the last 20 years. We both have pools but unfortunately prevailing winds mean we wear most of the rubbish plus it's overgrown on our side not theirs. When we purchased it wasn't like that but because we are west of the tree it's seeking sun and has 'broken out'. I have heard the female neighbour complain about the rubbish in her pool one year after a series of storms but male neighbour is such a wish wash it gets her nowhere.

Everyone is in agreement that this tree should not have been planted so close to a pre existing fence but as you say the neighbours aren't bothered by it so I guess we have to start making them bother.

As an aside he was complaining that our creeper was on their side. I suggested that if they removed their tree on our side then we would pull it off. It's an easy job as it's succulent. And doesn't drop leaves. Or bark. Or nuts.

i am guessing VIC fencing laws are close to SA fencing laws. My suggestion would be to bill your neighbour for cleaning the trees mess on your block every month.

Not interested in who is in the Jungle?

Back to the tree issue. It seems that the timing of our purchase and tree planting is irrelevant. We can cut the tree back to fence line.

And give them back the prunings. Perhaps stacked neatly across their driveway.

I like to find out which relics they drag out as celebrities. Maybe related to your Egypt programs

Pattaya, having another beer watching the world go by and thinking about the 74 I just shot....

The jungle show is horrible. Casey Donovan - 'my biggest fear is death' profound comment. Sadly I think she should worry about boring diabetes and heart disease through obesity.

Wise move.
Dane Swan - I am unemployed so might as well be here. But I don't want to raise my profile.

Dumb and dumber at best.

Even I would rather be painting my toe nails than being there, but hey there is a Midsomer Murder on at the moment on the ABC.

P.S., a photo from Midsomer Norton, that thing in the background covered in snow is a slag heap, not a volcano! (2013)

We have an issue with one of our neighbours and his trees, they are growing well over ACTEW limits regarding power lines coming into our house. I've reported this to ACTEW as he seems to think we should deal with it and trim his tree, as they are over the fence and therefore not his responsibility.

Of course he expects us to pay for it.

ACTEW has said they will check, send him a letter about it if required and if he doesn't follow through, they will organise some one to cut back the trees and bill him. Still waiting!

What's really galling is that this guy is a police officer (sergeant) with over 40 years service. I'm sure he thinks the law doesn't apply to him.

I think that tree is beautiful. I agree with your neighbours that it should be left unmolested. I agree that leaves in your pool are annoying, but I doubt the pool was there before the tree.

Might be some pretty cheap business and first class tickets out of Dubai to the US.

And whose responsibility is it when the tree drops a large branch damaging the neighbour's property? The issue is the tree planted in a totally inappropriate location. Many eucalypts are unsuited to urban situations- we have had a driver on Northbourne Ave killed by a branch dropping from a tree in the median strip.
