No you stupid idiot, he hasn't been found guilty IN LAW of anything, it seems likely he's been a bad lad and should have dropped Epstein like a hot brick at the first signs, so no not a supporter of Andrew but not a supporter of JUMPING TO CONCLUSIONS YA THICKO. Was that easier for you to grasp?

And I suppose that at these crimes there is the potential for innocent bystanders to get killed or maimed unless of course everyone in this scenario is a real hotshot?

Good morning dudes . Mild and damp is what it is with rain on the way for good measure . Wifes birthday .

I know it blew up. We’ve sort of had this conversation before.

A nutter whose licence should have been revoked long before he did what he did. Huge police failings for which law abiding pistol shooters were made to pay the price, typically Labour had to take it to the next level when they banned 22rf pistols, even those used in major events like the Olympics. ” We have taken handguns off the streets of the UK” 🤔 make your mind up how that went.

Equally, can you tell us any that were carried out prior to dunblane? There’s just no accounting for nutters unfortunately

Hi all. I could really use some second (and third, and fourth!) opinions on this situation. I bought a century home in southeast Michigan earlier this year, and the property has many large and tall trees. One of them seems particularly concerning—it’s a double-stem white cedar growing literally within a foot of the foundation: https://imgur.com/aT8vILf During the contingency phase, the previous owner mentioned that an arborist had looked at it in the past and said it wasn’t an issue -- not sure how much I trust this, but it really doesn't matter to me at this point. I had an ISA-certified arborist come by today, and he recommended removing it. Here’s what he said: He believes the tree was intentionally planted around the time the house was built (so roughly 100 years ago). He also said that the tree isn't native to the area and is from Northern Michigan, and that it's a very slow growing tree. He recommends removal because it could eventually affect the foundation, and the branches pose risks to the siding and shingles. They also make it easier for rodents to access the roof -- rodents are gonna get up regardless if that tree exists or not so... His company would remove it by cutting it down in sections from top to bottom, leaving the stump in place. He said that once cut to the stump, a tree like this won’t regrow. I asked about potential foundation issues after removal—since I’ve read that removing trees can sometimes cause soil voids or settling. He explained that once the tree is cut, the remaining stump and roots will simply decay over 10–20 years, and there’s no need to remove them. He said this is standard practice and shouldn’t cause any voids or damage. Can anyone help fact-check his comments, especially the part about soil stability and stump decay, and supposedly no impact on the foundation? One thing that I don't understand is if this tree's can damage the foundation, and if it's really been around for 100 years, it seems like there's a chance my foundation could already be damaged and I just haven't noticed it yet? I’ve also gathered several quotes for the removal, ranging from about $1,000 to $3,000—a pretty wide range. All companies say they’re insured and licensed. Normally, I’d be cautious about going with the lowest bidder for home projects, but I’m wondering if that concern applies here. If they’re insured and properly licensed, is there any real downside to choosing the lowest quote?

I assumed they were Lichens, but only because they didn't look like fungi or moss. They were all on a granite bridge on the edge of Dartmoor. Very damp environment. Dunno about your builders foam. Probably fungi, it should be fairly obvious if it was actually foam.

The problem with the left is it's all just endless talk, you probably want everyone to share their feelings and dreams whilst going auww. Atleast the WI can bake a cake and brew a drink.

OK. I follow. I'd be deeply concerned. I don't want to live in a violent shithole. The problem is that it's already a violent shithole. Anyone who wants to use violence for whatever, can. Most people here are so milquetoast that the concept of foreceful resistance is alien. There's a poem called, "AMERICA IS A GUN." There might as well also be one called, "ENGLAND IS A CRIME REFERENCE NUMBER AND A DISAPPOINTING ENGAGEMENT WITH THE HOME AND CONTENTS INSURERS." Now as it happens, I do have an amount of faith in the English condition, that some freedom wouldn't boil over all brashly like it does in other countries. I like to think we're capable of restraint and tolerance etc. Or at least that the weather is bad enough to keep tempers broadly cool. But that is still a secondary consideration. My primary interest reamins the rights of the individual. I don't see why anybody should be owned more than they can own themselves.

Interesting, is it litchen, as its on rock? Felled a small tree today and noticed in the yew opposite, what looks like old builders foam? Is it fungi?
