Nobody would clime this one, I wanted to give it the chop but the wife won't let me.

Kendo. :cheers:
I know someone who would climb it! Those ants make a nest in a curled up leaf on mango trees and up in our bit of Issan they're a delicacy, you get the whole nest in a bag and pull it off the tree, take it home and make fish and ant soup out of it. It's actually not bad.

Sounds like a real buddhist..

Use Pixresizer to shrink it then post or send to a mod or me to do for you

It’s none of my business what people say and think of me. I am what I am and do what I do. I expect nothing and accept everything. It makes life so much easier.

Dude, this has nothing to do with mango trees, follow DM's link or PM a moderator (who will help you) or post in the 'Suggestions' Forum to resolve this issue as that is what they are there for.

One of our dogs spends a lot of time in the evenings barking while looking up into a Mango tree. The first few times we searched the tree with flashlights expecting to find a mouse or snake as that's how he reacts to those, but we never found anything. Maybe he sees a spirit there. :shock:
My brain is like an Internet browser; 12 tabs are open and 5 of them are not responding, there's a GIF playing in an endless loop,... and where is that annoying music coming from?

Maybe he's trying to alert you to a really good photo opportunity. Don't worry. The photo will be too big to share anyway.
