Is it a timelord fence ya stand behind it and its much bigger ::)
-
where the heck is that at?
-
and whats the point to it ???
-
I think it's there for amusement. Englands lane, gorleston-on-sea
-
the reason for fence is obvious. But since you all seem to lack some basic reasoning. i explain it to you.
The fence is to protect the wall while it being fixed and people away from the back of the bush behind it..
-
how rude!!!!
-
I'll take a wider angle shot at the weekend, you can see how pointless the fence is! It's been there for a few years.

You know what TGG, you really get on my F****ng nerves. If you have nothing nice to say to people. GO !! I have read a few of your posts and dont like any of them. Get a life and go annoy your self. What an irritating person you are. i have tried to ignore you. But you really do need to get out more.
Matt.
ps. apologies to all the nice people for this rant.
-
no problem at all flunky my sentiments exactly, i have never replied to any of this persons posts but i am sick of the tone and the way he tries to belittle people too
-
Easy Flunk dude, obviously tgg is having a joke at his own expense!!!! Nobody could really be such a gray/blue!!! Time to turn that frown upside down...
>:(
:) :(
-
Nah mate. This bloke is a troll. I have ignored his posts too often. I never rant, but he is so rude and obnoxious I cant help it. Still smiling though. ;D
-
hey tonybloke'
I love your fence !!!
If I had it, I would put on some hinges, add a door handle, cover it in mirrors and thing that glitter and make magic, and hope that the people that looked upon it, had a soul !!
Feel sorry for that guy / liady!!

I've got the smallest trellis! When my fence fell down earlier this year, the fence man tried to move a concrete paving slab which was propping up one panel (we have a garden that slopes 4 feet house to end and 3 feet side to side) but he couldn't move it, so to fill the gap which was previously a piece of chicken wire he put a piece of trellis.
This is where my cat likes to sit and spy on our nextdoor neighbours (they have a pond and he has to check if they are in or out so he can catch the fish). The fence man calls it the cat's confessional.

Asbean the cat's confessional...that is brilliant! Cheers!

Don`t give the stupid troll the attention he /she craves just ignore the moran.

;D it is quite funny
-
I do not crave attention and you are the ones attacking me. So you are obviously the trolls.As for you lot you have continually demonstrated that you are ones who have no humor or common sense.
But if really want know what the fence is for I will tell you.
Since it use is even more obvious looking at it second time.
It was previously a sign that point the direction to different places in the park.
-
No, it's a hiding place behind which TGG sits painting his fake tomatoes red.
-
what fake tomatoes? my tomatoes are real.
Amazin where are you garden pictures ? I do not recall seeing them?
rosebud as for stupidity thanks for demonstrating yours.

TGG if you have nigh on entire forum telling you that you are a rude, obnoxious, self obsessed person then to be honest we cant all be wrong. Take some advice and go to some where your rudeness will be accepted. Not here.

Enuff of this you're ALL ignorant pheasants ;D
Saw this and thought - modern.. panels from sustainable sources (oo-err how pc is that?).. 21c version of the Eleanor Cross...now, might be out a cross or two, but there were 12(13?) crosses erected 'tween Lincolnshire where the lady died, and London, where the remaining bits of her were finally buried.....but this is OBVIOUSLY a monument to a locked (note the lack of a door handle?vital clue, that) Gents Urinal for the Specific Use of a Tall Thin Nobleman of the County en route to the Smoke, bostin for a P. The hunt is on for the remaining 11(12?) and hope to hell that when he gets there, that won't be locked either.
This Iz Wot It Iz An Wot I Rote is A Self-Evident Trooth.
ps....history doesn't say if lady also died bostin for a P, but that's artistic licence for ya
(and PS Asbean.....tickled pink by the Cat's Confessional ;D)

I do not crave attention and you are the ones attacking me. So you are obviously the trolls.
From wikipedia definition of a troll:
"Frequently, someone who has been labelled a troll by a group may seek to redeem their reputation by discrediting their opponents, for example by claiming that other members of the group are closed-minded, conspirators, or trolls themselves."
-
I think it was a demo fence from a fencing show and they couldn't think what to do with it afterwards then some bright spark thought 'I know, it's just the right size for that gap in my front garden' - but it wasn't.
-
You cannot be serious....you all need to get out more.......experience the wider world.....you all know not what you say......It's not a fence........ It's a sledge..... sod.. I don't seem to have an exclamation mark^^^
....and can I have a mini trellis too, please?
-
Oi! Do keep up in the back row!!(I've gottan exclamation mark & by golly! I'll use it!!! ;))......it's NOT a fence, it's NOT a sledge....IT'S A MODERN OBELISK, OK?
An Asbean doesn't have a bit of trellis....it's a Cat's Confessional, so there!
"forgive me Father for I have sinned....
today I coveted, nicked, killed and ate all the fishes in my neighbour's pond & sicked up all the bones on my mum's carpet"...

the reason for fence is obvious. But since you all seem to lack some basic reasoning. i explain it to you.
The fence is to protect the wall while it being fixed and people away from the back of the bush behind it..
I think your wrong, looking at the wall it all thats wrong with it is that the top coping stone has become dislodged, probably by accident or by a person wishing to commit a sensless act of vandilism upon society of the person who owns the wall in question. Note the bottom left hand corner of the photo, you can cleary see why the next coping stone is still in place...You can also view the remenants of the mortar which held in place the old coping stone.
I see no valid reason why an engineer, workman or other trades person would see it fit to construct such a structre, mearly to protect a tree or other object, when the amount of work needed to repair said wall is minimal. Even after the relevant risk assesments have been undertaken of course.
However you maybe correct in your view thats it mearly there to protect the tree - but not for the reason you give, perhaps the coping stone became disloged during a minor motor vechile accident, and the owner of the tree took steps to prevent further damange to the tree in case of any further accidents. Although the level of protection provided by the structure looks to be minimal. In fact the resulting damanged caused by a car hitting the fence may still result in damage to the tree, the concrete posts supporting the fence may crash into tree breaking branches etc..
What are your thoughts now TGG ?
Edit - i also note that the tree is of the sicamore variety - hardly a tree on the endangered list...

keef you missed my follow up post. Since I realized that it was a sign post with the sign missing.

Flunky

That is how the mob away claims innocence. But considering the that most of posts here have clearly demonstrated there ability to not to use nasty language ,on stay subject or use common sense. This can seen by by you post attacking me.
-
keef you missed my follow up post. Since I realized that it was a sign post with the sign missing.
Oh yes, so you did - ???
I still think your wrong though.
Firstly, the location appears to be a street of other public causeway - not the middle of a park.
Secondly, the posts are cleary of the type designed to take fenching panels. A grove along 2 apposing sides allows the constructor to merly slid in fence panels. See examples here http://www.barkers-fencing.co.uk/images_barkers2/fence_panels.jpg
Thricely, Why would the anyone place 2 sign posts so close together ?
Qautencely, There are no visable signs for the fixing a sign to the post(s).
Pentagonaly, The posts appera to be on the propery side of the wall, possibly private property. Public sign posts would be placed on public land.
TGG ??
-
Perhaps it's a mystery doorway. Tonybloke, try disappearing behind it and see where you come out ..... dun dun derrrrrr ......
rosebud as for stupidity thanks for demonstrating yours.
Calm yourself, sunshine, because as far as stupidity's concerned, seems like you're the one reigning supreme at number one, thinking it's acceptable to be rude to a board of lovely people sharing a bit of banter.
-
Having had a closer look....the posts are in the right position, that is, upright. The fencing is lap fencing fastened with battons at right angles to the lap. The battons are what should be slotted into the grooves in the concrete uprights, not the lapping as shown here. This 'fence' is inserted the wrong way round. The laps should run from top to bottom, not sideways. If it is a fence, it's a bodge-job.
I notice a gap in the existing fence to the left of the pic which would probably be about the right size for this 'fence'. If it's been created and used as such, chances are it's fallen over and the bloke living on the left propped it up in the owners garden...?
It also seems to have a concrete 'foot' which sort of makes sense to it being a bodge diy hole-in-fence fence.
-

TGG this is your first post on this subject. I dont know what part of the world you come from. But, if someone's first post is as aggresive as this then you can expect some sort of come back. You are basically saying that everyone who has seen this "lacks a basic reasoning" and you are going to "explain to us". Well that would upset the majority of people on hear. See further posts ie. "how rude". thats how people see you. If you want to be seen in a better light, then stop being so obnoxious. The thing is, its not just this post is nigh on every time you post anything. You always seem to upset people, thats no way to behave, Its almost as though you enjoy being so combative. Most people just dont like the way you speak to them. If you need further clarification ask someone else, should give you a fairly wide spectrum of opinions, who, cannot all be wrong. Stop being a victim and start being nice.

I see your point about the lapping - but more importantly you would never find any fence panel of the dimensions apparant in the supplier catalogues. The constructor has mearly made there own bespoke panel to fit the purpose by cutting down a panel of standard supplier dimensions. Making a bespoke panel with the lapping going in the downward direction would'nt be to difficult for anyone with resonably good woodworking skills and a big saw - however the constructor has obvisously gone for the quicker method of dissambling the panel, romoving the lapping panels which are not required, cutting the trim to the correct size then re-assembleing - aka bodging it.
Of course installing lapped fencing with the lapping going in this direction is'nt un heard of - frequently in Fencing News (http://www.fencing-news.co.uk/) examples of this method can be seen.
TGG - your comments ?
-
flunky people get mad all time when there actions are proved wrong or they miss the obvious.
They fact that they attack me shows they lack the ability to admit they are wrong and are rude impolite people.

You are either being deliberately obtuse or you genuinely dont understand people. Stop being a victim and start being nice. If you need further clarification please ask someone else or review your own post to see what resposne you get, have a look at other people who post and see if they get the same response as you, i think you will see you are VERY wrong and hopefully you will become a nicer person / poster.
-
Is it me or is this thread drifting off topic ?
-
keef sorry but your theory does fit the picture.
Also it start to drift when started attacking me
flunky I am being nice. they attack me first after not understanding my post. But since most message board contain these type of people who lack clear read skills. I consider it par for course.
flunky if I was not being nice I would have started using foul language and name calling earlier like they did.

tgg, if can't people understant read who your post, consider perhaps a bit more efort to enerstandable wen rwitinng.
-
ollie reading and understanding are not same thing.
I can read both Shakespeare and Chaucer, that does not mean I can comprehend what they are trying to say.
-

OK - please expand ?
-
there is no other sign post in picture.
as for there being an accident,removal of damaged sign and masonry or vandalism.
It is very common to see sign posts like the one in the picture.
The thread started to drift when several other posters start attacking me.
-
The first post was very funny, I thought. I am totally bewildered by many of the rest!!
-
I think the guy hasn't fixed his fence and his neighbour has waited a long time.....then in the middle of the night or while he was on holiday the neighbour erected this very short section of fence to show the other guy up and amuse everybody else.
Or the guy builds fences and this is an advertisement for his fence building.
Remember the "ignore" button guys! You'll pursue this until you get yourselves expelled and the rest of us won't have any friends anymore.
-
No need for fantasy. It's obviously just a back rest for very tall people who like to sit on the wall. You can tell they are big people because the coping has broken off under the strain of repeated sittings.
PS
ollie reading and understanding are not same thing.

TGG - assume you meant 'that doesn't' not 'that does' ?
-
Barnowl funny guess but most likely wrong.

i Theres two posts in the picture - with a bit of modified lapped fencing between them.
ii Do you mean because there no other sign post in the picture, these have to be sign posts, ie its not possible that theres posts elswhere
iii "as for there being an accident,removal of damaged sign and masonry or vandalism" - yes thats my theory why did you mention it ?
iiii i think were assuming to much that this is in a park, for instance it could be in the front parking area of a genital enlargement clinic, could it not ?
iiiii I'm still fail to see how anyone would actually attach a sign to the posts - unless a large hose clip type device was used.
iiiiiii Surley the sign would be obstructed from view by the tree ?
Your thoughts ?
Barnowl - slighty tongue in cheek, but theoretically another possible method for the coping coming off the wall would be a member of the public coming out of the clinic and sitting on the wall.

any fool can see what it is- it's the monolith from 2001

da da da DA DA (bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum) or is that too many bums?
-
I think the fence was either put up by someone learning the fencing trade as a practice piece OR someone with a sense of fun to make a talking point. Why did they do it? Because they could. Perhaps they'd like a trellis on the top.
I like it :D :D :D :D :D :D

Do you mean they were going to stick somthing to the lapped fencing area ?
If so why bother using a lapped fencing for the entire height - surely only installing lapped fencing for top half would have sufficced ? I mean it just looks like a half finished fence doesn't it.
I'm sure theres rule and regulations on the construction for signage within public area's - sadly i dont have time to look, maybe you do? - but I'm sure a sign of the construction and design you seem to be suggesting would not be allowed. Unless the signage is within the private sector of course.
Also if they had of stuck a sign to it it would be difficult to paint the lapped fencing area with a wood preservative. This would need to be done a few times over the life time of the construction.
No - in my opinion the construction was mearly the start of a much larger project to replace the somewhat dilapidated wall. However the project became shelved due to lack of funds, or maybe the constructor just gave up.
Asbean - modern art maybe, never thought of that option. If it is i can see what there trying to express. It envokes feeling of a society that feels fenced in, enclosed in a modern society of speed cameras, strict rigid regulations and slotted together lapped fencing. Where as in actual fact the dilapidated wall and the gaps round the edges show its easy to circumvent the establishment due to the decay and blinding errors which they fail to see. Of course if it is in front of a genital enlargement clinic the meaning could be quite, quite different.

ROFL @ Keef ;D ;D ;D

I knew there was one somewhere - Pushkin confessing his sins:

And no, he doesn't sick up the bones on the carpet - he eats them (carp is his favourite meal, especially the large ones) but the scales are difficult to get off the parquet floor when they've dried. ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::)

awww, he's SO lovely. I'm getting broody for a ginger tom ::)

You dont think it could be one of these ? do you ?

here's another couple of shots of the fence. I think it's there to mark the boundary.[attachment=1][attachment=2]
I didn't mean to start an international incident!! ;)
-
Ah. That's better, Tony. Now it all makes more sense, and thanks for bringing things back to what the Gallery is all about.
Pic's, people, not pokes.Thanks.
Kew.
-
Ah ha - how anal - but the owner does have a "cac" rover. Note the vertical lapped fencing on the main part of the fencing - i like their style..
TGG ?
-
I cycled down there this morning to get the other images, I thought the thread was getting a bit out of hand, (sarcastic smiley)! The vertical lap was installed by clarkes fencing, Keef. ;)
-
Using lap fencing that way up is fine if the width is greater than the height. The 'odd' bit looks ridiculous.
-
Now't as queer as folk, eh?
:P ;D
-
Someone's been firing an air gun at the trunk of that tree from across the road, and the owner has put up the fence to protect it. Simple. No signposts involved, and we can now see there's no troll lurking behind it waiting to pounce.
-
Thanks for the pics, tonybloke, now it all becomes clear. I lost a bit of sleep on that one - was getting a bit blair witchy for me :-\ :-\ :-\ :-\ :-\ :-\ :-\ :-\ :-\ :-\ :-\ :-\
-
well guess my first guess was correct.
The fence is to protect the wall while it being fixed and people away from the back of the bush behind it..
My guess was close enough for goverment work. Since keeping people shooting something is pretty much same thing.

How do you work that one out ?

Keeping people shooting something?? Are you suggesting that it's a firing range now? Or did you just ignore the preposition?

I'VE GOT IT ;D ;D ;D ;D
