  1. Ummm, maybe. I'm more convinced if you say all those trees are afflicted with dieback. It just seems more prevalent these days, and I'm sure not only on Ash. Maybe because we have less trees, sicker trees or because we have less managed trees these days. When there were far more people working the land in general, perhaps there was more work put in to keeping the Ivy in check. I don't love Ivy, though I recognise it's high ecological value.
  2. To revive a previous, somewhat contentious topic; there's an awful lot of Ivy in that photo. Virtually every tree is afflicted. Surely that ain't right?
  3. Trump thinks tariffs can bring back the glory days of US manufacturing. Here’s why he’s wrong THECONVERSATION.COM The president’s actions are driven by nostalgia rather than reality.

  6. There was a good analysis of the infamous tariff equation earlier. The conclusion - yeah, it is a load of bollocks, economic illiteracy!

    Hence why you won't catch malaria if you consume plenty of G & Ts. And wear a pith helmet.
  9. 13 birds in a 10 minute recording. I think the 9.08 time was just where it was highlighting a particular one. I was listening to a Linnet as I wouldn't have a clue of anything about that bird.
  10. But not the alligators!
  11. It's a good time for birds out there at the moment, they must be loving this weather as well. For those with the Merlin App: go on then, show us your totals! I got 13 earlier today. This was at 10.00, reckon I could've got more earlier on.
  12. Some good news for a change. This is long overdue First Ofcom probe launched into suicide site exposed by BBC WWW.BBC.CO.UK BBC News found the forum, which has thousands of members, is linked to at least 50 deaths in the UK.
  13. I don't yet receive a pension but still, I'm more concerned about what the orange miasma is currently doing to it.

  18. Garlic would be a good fit I think. If you don't want to grow much then it makes sense to major on a cash crop like that. Minimal work once it's in the ground as well, it'll just sit there and do it's thing until it's ready to be picked in July.
  19. Jesus Christ!

  21. Fair enough. I tend to be somewhat skeptical of a guy on YouTube or LinxedIn shouting about stuff. I would still consider seed oils to be the least of my concerns if I was a large consumer of processed food. At the of the day, if you eat mostly natural whole food and stay away from industrially synthesed crap then you're, going to be ok. I know we both agree I that. I think this is a more balanced appraisal. These people have done a lot of good work in the field of food and nutrition. Should You Avoid Seed Oils? ZOE.COM Recently, seed oils have had a bad press. In this article, we’ll debunk the myths and give you our science-backed take on seed oils.
  22. I doubt it. Are you brave enough to open a poll, let the forum vote on it? I think you forget sometimes, that you're not the only person on here.
  23. Personally, I'm wouldn't take any advice from RFK. Look at his record with Public Health. He's got himself mixed up again with the seed oils business. They're pretty beneficial actually, it's all the other crap that they're concocted with to make UPF that's bad. Really not sure why he's picked them out as the villains of the piece. Colours are obviously not great, but there's many other things that are worse. Have a look at high-fructose corn syrup, emulsifiers or artificial sweeteners for instance. Still not buying the patter that Trump is going to MAFGA. His idea of healthy american food is a McDonald's Meal.
  24. Yep. Quick to grow, quick to dry, quick to burn. That's Willow.
  25. You can also make wine out of the flowers, my Granddad did. Bucket loads of it. I think we're in danger of repetition, deviation but not hesitation here; I remember Dandelions have been discussed at length at least once before.
