Re: Where on line is the cheapest supplies
@ the op - thank you for responding and clearing the air a little.
Dark humor doesn't often translate well through typed text as tone and expression cannot be gauged.
Having said that, you're more than welcome to contribute and post. I'm sure nobody here will object.
Finally, I doubt anyone actually got offended by your post, probably more confused than offended I hope. I know I certainly wasn't offended. Super confused though.
Anyway, thanks again for contributing.

Dark humour is one thing, but when given in a form with no context and poor grammar / language skills, then it falls flat on its face.MoGanic wrote: Dark humor doesn't often translate well through typed text as tone and expression cannot be gauged.

We communicate here by the written word and writing to be clear and concise ( especially with humour) is a very difficult skill to master.

Re: Where on line is the cheapest supplies
Yeah, I would've been thinking the same mate. Just glad we don't have any "teeny-boppers" with their over-abbreviated nonsense that has become its own language.kcpoole wrote:Dark humour is one thing, but when given in a form with no context and poor grammar / language skills, then it falls flat on its face.MoGanic wrote: Dark humor doesn't often translate well through typed text as tone and expression cannot be gauged.

Re: Where on line is the cheapest supplies
Hey bonsai master, I've found club meeting sales tables tend to have reasonably priced wire in smaller amounts, I buy most of my wire in 1kg rolls from Bonsai Sensation which works out quite cheap and lasts me a while.
I bought a cheap pair of branch cutters once, just to use for root pruning - they lasted 5min until I tried to cut a reasonably sized root and they bent so badly the cutting edges wont meet any more. Most of my tools are Kaneshin which I ordered from him online(was also lucky enough to buy some direct off him in Japan) - they are very good quality at a reasonable price.
