Wordle 1,095 5/6 ⬜⬜⬜⬜🟨 ⬜⬜🟨⬜⬜ ⬜🟩⬜🟩⬜ ⬜🟩⬜🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 That's more like it, normal service is resumed!

That depends entirely on you and the job at hand. Waist height is ideal really so you probably wouldn't need a harness. Unless you're going to have to do it for prolonged periods, i.e. hours or days on end. They can also save your shoulders sometimes if you're doing high cutting. As mentioned above, they do get in the way though so I wouldn't bother unless you need to. Also, go for a proper chest type harness, not just a shoulder strap, otherwise you'll still end up with knackered shoulders!

I wouldn't say it's irrelevant, it's a starting point if nothing else to give a general idea of what's right and wrong, if you can't see the person in front of you. Though I agree, it's not great. Most rugby players come out as obese. I think there's some new, better, metric being used now. Based on relative waist size or something.

Reckon you're fine, not in need of more weight at all. Looks like you're getting towards the upper limit of healthy weight band on the old BMI chart actually . Obesity has become normalised now, that's the isdue. People's perception of "normal" weight has shifted to the right, (same as it has in politics). https://therapies.heartofengland.nhs.uk/wp-content/uploads/bmi_chart.pdf

Umm, I foresee a costly public enquiry leading to some interesting additions to the police duty belt. A length of blue alkathene A bucket of cow feed pellets A farmer A Collie dog A dab of milk

I interesting no doubt, but better than Farage. I heard a speculation this morning that he could get elected as an MP, then cross the floor to join the Conservatives and go on to become their leader. Scary prospect, and by no means beyond the realms of possibility. Politics abhors a vacuum.

Interesting. Based on the scant evidence of our two trees then, it looks like degree of savagery is the key to success. Nice Sedum. Doesn't surprise me, asbestos is probably an ideal substrate for it.

We could and should all be eating more venison, it would be a win/win result. The number of deer running riot all over the UK; we could almost take beef off the shelves entirely and replace it with lovely Bambi meat surely. (Most people wouldn't even know the difference anyway, unless the label told them it was made in the Venison Machine at the supermarket).

Update. So I cut it back even more ruthlessly earlier this year. There's hardly any branches of the original tree left at all now. Those that are are still suffering from blossom end rot. Albeit less severely I think. The weird thing is that all the various grafts that are on the tree seem completely unaffected, they're romping away in fact. I don't understand how that can be. The poor tree is completely fcked now. If it wasn't for the grafts, (of apples that I particularly selected), I'd cut and remove it completely. As if is, I wouldn't mind leaving it for the sake of those grafts, but the infection appears to be moving further down the tree into the main boughs and trunk. Penny for your thoughts?

I saw this last night and thought WTF. They had already been chasing it for a number of hours before ramming it; surely enough time to call in a vet or even local livestock farmer for assistance. Watch: Cow hit by police car gets to its feet WWW.BBC.CO.UK Footage shared with the BBC shows the animal looking stunned in the aftermath of the incident on a Surrey street.

That is a surprise. At least they serve beer in French McDonald's joints.

That's part of the cause probably. In a lot of UK garages now you actually have to fight your way through aisles of tempting crap to get to the cashier. They make it difficult just to go straight up and pay.

I'm not an expert practitioner, as you obviously are, but I imagined the wax to be quite soft. So you could press it and squeeze into the holes slightly. It must be sticky at least, actually you testified to that already! Probably best to keep this as a last resort idea. In case it pushes the ear wax further in.
-
Well, this has to be one of the more "out there" threads! Thinking laterally from the hot glue idea - how about hair removal wax strips? You know, like the ladies use, (and some metrosexual men apparently).
-
Yeah, fair point, but they're quite a recent thing. I've been seeing "Pan Fried" on menus for years.
-
Fried Sea Bass. Luvley Jubley. I was going to put Pan Fried, but thought what's the point? Why do they always put that on menus, how else would you fry fish, if not in a pan?

Got my head around this now I think. So it's basically capsising a slipped overhand knot type of arrangement. Looks like it could be quicker to tie once you've got the knack of it.

Why, for what purpose? I'm struggling to visualise that set-up, care to share us a cheeky photo?
