  1. It does look like a council job. That other one on the right that hasn't been started is a red herring I think. It's much smaller than the rest so I guess it's a replacement to an original tree that failed, maybe that's why they didn't start it. It's not actually close to the BT lines, it's just the photo.
  2. Nice one, you've sold them well, I'll give you that. I'll be out with a bucket, torch and chorizo as soon as the weather warms up! I imagine them to be high in protein, low in fat. If anyone has ever bothered to analyse them that is.
  3. This crypto mining company has actually bought it's own power station. New York faces a new legal fight over a proposed crypto-mining power plant - The Verge WWW.THEVERGE.COM
  4. Takes a lot more prep work though. Very secure, those back doors.
  5. Maybe I should give runners a second chance then. Sacked them off years ago because they're a bit course in comparison to French or Borlotti type beans. I eat pretty much everything and will give anything a go at least once but I've never been at all impressed by snails. Happy to be educated though if you've got a secret recipe for the chewy little buggers ..........

  7. Maybe. It's a bit weird. It's been like that for the last few weeks. Plus it's part way down a street where all the other pollards have been completed. Almost like there's no intention to finish it off.
  8. How do you go about freezing your beans? They've not come out very good when I've tried with french beans in the past. I normally wait for the glut to fully ripen and then keep the dried beans.
  9. Who said anything about vegan? I think you need to look up the difference between that and vegetarian.
  10. As mentioned earlier, Beans are key. 21% protein, 77% complex carbohydrate (the kind that give a slow and steady energy, rather than the spike you get with highly refined carbs like High-fructose corn syrup). Other legumes are available.
  11. Plus one. You can also eat the fruit.
  12. I don't think that anyone is saying that MEAT IS BAD. Just that an excess of industrially produced meat is bad. (As in the example at the start of this thread. Which wasn't even supposed to be about agriculture/obesity/meat vs veggie etc!)
  13. Want to live until you're 100? Expert who's spent decades exploring 'blue zone' phenomenon reveals why bread and beans could help you live longer | Daily Mail Online WWW.DAILYMAIL.CO.UK Dan Buettner an explorer, a National Geographic fellow, and a leading blue zone researcher, believes the answer to a long...
  14. Talking of tosh. I think you are confusing ultra processed "diet" foods with natural, largely plant based, whole foods, . Since when have nut and plant oils been bad for you? Nuts and seeds are some of the healthiest things out there.
  15. I know exactly what you mean. We went for what should have been a nice walk last weekend, but it was somewhat spoilt by all the mud everywhere. That was meant to be a public footpath.
  16. I just want less rain! And more frost. Parts of UK may have had wettest February on record WWW.BBC.CO.UK Weather data to be released on Friday will also likely show that this winter was less frosty than normal.
  17. Yes. They couldn't feed all the corn surplus to cattle so they had to find something else to do with it. Another Nixon triumph, this was all down to his man Earl Butz back in the early 70s.
  18. Yes, I was sad to hear this earlier. Always enjoyed their cheerful, down-to-earth style.
  19. My, this thread has taken a turn. So the culprits here might be Feeders. Who knew that Feederism was a thing? There's a fetish for everyone these days!

  21. It's not quite the only way. The other way is to not eat copious amounts of meat every day. The American diet is probably the worst in the world, from various perspectives.
  22. So my brother has just sent me this, (he must of been idly google maps scrolling, obviously a busy day at work). Google Maps WWW.GOOGLE.COM Find local businesses, view maps and get driving directions in Google Maps. Cattle farming, Texas style. The scale and nature, (or lack of), of it is a bit obscene. It's vast. Those crop circles are weird too, due to centre pivot irrigation. Anyone else seen interesting stuff somewhere?
