To be honest mate, I'm not sure it really needs a warning label. You'd have to be tapped to mess with one of those. I've noticed when I've been on travels, that you don't always have a sign warning of deep excavations etc. I think it's just accepted alot of places, that if you're daft enough to fail to see a hole or you bang your head on something, you deserve to...

Aye, that's how I found them too.

Probably.

I learned as a raver that salt cures cramps. I wish I could remember the rest...

Blakes was my favourite hitch for years. The stopper knot just acts as a back up for when all your training and knowledge abandons you for some reason. In much the same way that you may tie a knot at the tail end of your rope. I mean, no one in their right mind is going to descend off the end of their rope, however, sometimes the unexpected happens.

I reckon she was constantly on edge, waiting for a xenomorph to explode from her body to do much research.

Maybe your exotic holiday should involve a trip with a tanker to Kielder.

I understand why you might well have justifyable malice towards certain people. Not everyone who lives out a caravan is a villain though. That's important to remember.

Some of the most profitable work I've ever done was for Travellers. There's bad apples in every walk of life, prejudice helps no-one.

I quite like the sentiment.

Good question Thankfully we're unlikely to find out.

Aye, I struggle to understand the concept of anything other than 'Job and Knock'. -

The hardest job is biting your tongue. -

However, you can't call a communist the same as a fascist just because you don't understand either of their ideologies.

Me too.

Aye, perhaps that wasn't the best word to use. 'Terrifying' would have been closer to my intention, but I thought that may be too reactionary for people to read it.

Mature Lime avenue - in need of pruning?

Clearing the epicormic growth also allows the base of the stem to be inspected for defects. -

There's an excellent book about living on the moon called 'Steel Beach' by John Varley.

Beer alert: Fosters, John smith's, strongbow, woodpecker, amstel, brown ale are going to run out by the end of next week. My mate runs a pub and said that "Magners, Bulmers, woodpecker, strongbow and dark fruit all halted production last night. BOC (gas supplier for beer and soft draught dispense) has just dropped a corker. Along the lines of: We have enough for now, but if the Co2 supply isn't sorted by the end of July, we might run out." That means nae beer. Excuse the media source, as they're well known for predicting the worst winter/hottest summer ever, but this one's legit. https://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/976904/World-Cup-beer-warning-panic-co2-shortage
