Sad news. Thanks for the music Chris. RIP

Saw a repeat of the Gone Fishing episode with him on. Tbh with the health issues he’d had, he did well to get to that age.

Chris Rea has died 3 days before Xmas!

Sweet mother of mercy!

Ebay for manuals or agri manuals? They might have something similar , could you even have shorted a fuse ?

Noncery.

Here's a few more

Hi 42 Sorry for the delay. Here's a few pics of some of my lapsed pollard Hornbeams. Tell me if / when you get fed up - maybe I'll start just post a few ! Obviously some of these are past it / best left alone, but i would love to hear suggestions as to whether (and how) to restart the pollarding without killing the tree ! Some of them are seriously top heavy, have rot pockets from the pollard and subsequently shed or fall over. Others are just too crowded out . All suggestions welcome.

I'm confused; is that an input, or an output from the Dempsey Song Writing Machine?

Looking at an oak today, noticed this fungi on a buttress root. When touched, there were visible white spores released. Looks like they are well past their best, is it possible to identify them from the photo? Photo of the whole tree, its the closer one.

Nothing stopping the Venezuelans copying Ukraine's playbook

Mick’s coming for Christmas and to help with some songwriting so I’ve done a big batch of tandoori breakfast curry.

I'm liking that idea a lot.

Microwave garlic for 5-10 seconds. It peels itself.

The background is that I have a Countrax ride on mower and lost the key. Improvised with a screw driver in desperation and finally got round to buying a new key holder. The new key holder was differently wired. To cut a long story short I managed to put the wrong wire on the wrong terminal with the result that I got smoke coming out of the top of the engine where the starter motor goes round. See photo. The smoke lasted for about at most 10 seconds probably less when the batter was quickly disconnected. Tried to start it again (more in hope than expectation) and not surprisingly it is dead as a dodo. Now I am an old motorcycle guy and am not familiar with a more modern engine that probably has PCBs and my suspicion is that I have blown something serious... but what? is it the insulation on a copper coil of some sort? (I think not) so what caused the smoke to stop the engine firing ? Where will I find a "Haines" type manual to work out how to take the cowling etc off and get to the working parts of the engine? Yrs aye. Chris George

Myself and @Mark Bolam sounding like a broken record……. Kirkland commercial truck bodies in Stoke. About 1:45 from Sheffield- 01782 327700

What is the value of the 'free' advertising that this unit would give you I wonder? If it creates a days work every other month just from the signage then does that make it worth it? Am as above, UK security is an issue... but most of the guys round here have their yards / containers in out of site (ie cheaper) location, end of lanes type of thing... if you are happy using the garage still, keep the van in there with the small tools, and the big stuff in the unit (anything apart from the small machines really - ropes and harnesses can hang in the unit to dry) - and have the unit as the base, drive there in the mornings with all the tools safe still with the van? Till you know if you are likely to have a problem

There's going to be a headline saying TRUMP STEALS HEART OF GOLD before he's out in 2029. I had to look up when he's out. His second term only started in January this year! It feels longer.

Not the dreaded mech🤣

Possibly purposeful. Anyone who spotted it will soon be approached by a man with an umbrella, who remarks that the pigeons in Alexanderplatz are hungry this year.

I reckon they had a tea break in between writing the word and making the clue.

So no-one can possibly have won? Demand a re-match.
