  1. Mate, I'm lost. You've tied yourself in a knot again here, you seem to be contradicting yourself now. How do propose that we reverse the dramatic decline in insect numbers? The UK is one of the most nature depleted countries in the world. (As evidenced by the previous post). For reference, climate change and the biodiversity crash aren't the same thing. Related, but not interchangeable. You won't be able to comprehend this, but most things in the real world aren't black and white. It's entirely possible to agree with one sentiment that a person holds, whilst disagreeing with another. Lying is a strong word to be throwing around like confetti. What's gotten you into such a rage this time?
  2. Hello. And welcome back. πŸ‘
  3. This is like getting blood from a stone, but we're getting there at least! πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈπŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ So you do believe that the plummet in insect numbers is real and it does bother you. Good. So how do you think we should tackle it? Given that it's such an important and urgent issue. πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ I'm not sure why Patrick Harvie has got your goat today. πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ I know nothing about him so can't comment I'm afraid.
  4. Heaven forbid we ever have a catastrophe like the fire that occured at Notre Dame. We'd have to resort to rebuilding with French or Eastern European Oak. French Oak Beams Raise Hopes for Notre-Dame Rebuild WOODCENTRAL.COM.AU When President Macron vowed to have Notre-Dame de Paris standing tall again within a mere five years, skepticism...
  5. So you're not bothered by the extent of insect decline in the UK? (76% drop in Scotland). Or do you not believe that either? Surely you must eat some fruit and grains as part of your plain diet.
  6. But what food do you like to eat? Do you remember the good old days of having to clean insect splat off the windscreen? No need to work yourself into a lather over "sick twisted individuals". Again.

  8. Does this mean that you actually hate another political party more than the SNP? Incredible! Anyway, nevermind all that. This is the kind of thing that should be Making the news today ............. Buglife News: Bugs Matter Citizen Science survey shows further decreases in UK insect numbers WWW.BUGLIFE.ORG.UK Read more of our latest news related to invertebrates, insects and bugs. That should be a front page headline.
  9. Pleaching?
  10. I don't suppose there's many DnB fans on here but just in case. Chase & Status - BOILER ROOM BOILERROOM.TV We joined forces with legendary Chase & Status to head up one of our Boiler Room London after-parties.
  11. Wordle 1,040 5/6 ⬜⬜⬜⬜🟨 ⬜🟨🟩⬜⬜ ⬜🟨⬜⬜🟨 ⬜🟨🟩🟨⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 That was exhausting. I was expecting another fail.
  12. I'd have it for that money. No idea what it's like as firewood but it's a good, and cheap, chance to find out.
  13. As well as making your knickers smell sweet it also stops them being attacked by moths. Cedar is naturally moth repellent as they hate the smell .
  14. Yep. I've only ever had to use one once, for a breakdown. It was very unpleasant as you feel highly exposed. And that was a conventional hard shoulder, with no live traffic behind either.
  15. Not sure about anyone else, but the idea of taking away the hard shoulder on motorways has always made me uneasy. Not very smart at all. Claims that smart motorways tech leaves drivers at risk WWW.BBC.CO.UK Figures obtained by the BBC reveal worries about the reliability of the tech behind smart motorways.
  16. Similarly, it's possible to be a Palestinian child and not be a member or even supporter of Hamas. Meatheads of all flavours to Rwanda, what a good idea. That'd be a tiny bit of value of money at least.
  17. Haven't they gor anything better to do with their time?
  18. Wordle 1,039 X/6 ⬜⬜⬜⬜🟨 ⬜⬜🟨⬜⬜ ⬜⬜🟨⬜🟨 🟨🟨⬜🟨🟩 ⬜🟩⬜🟩🟩 ⬜🟩⬜🟩🟩 That got away from me. A couple of days off and I seem to have become a dunce.
  19. Only if you don't mind wearing those silly looking flat bowling shoes every time you walk on your lawn. To my limited knowledge, (not being at all a lawn fan), the finer and nicer looking the grass is; the less hard wearing it is.
  20. Ah, fair enough. He sounds like our neighbour; perfect lawn, (with perfectly parallel lawn mower tracks), spotless cars, windows, block paved drive etc etc. Its what his weekends are made for. A couple of years ago he relocated the shed at the end of the garden. By a couple of feet. It's a large shed too, must be 15x15' at least. He said that previously it wasn't quite central and not quite aligned when looking out from the house. I kid you not!
  21. I'd suggest not looking too closely. Grass is grass in my book. Even moss passes for grass sometimes, at least it's green and not muddy. Is your friend a lawn bowler or croqueter or something?

  24. Nicest day of the year today I reckon. Down here in Exeter at least. Sunny all day and 15+ degrees.
