I can never work out whether you're a Rhinoceros or a Naked mole-rat. Right then, the ban on neonicotinoid, let's explore that topic a bit further. We can probably find some common ground somewhere. I don't want to assume, so do you choose the countryside over cheap food? I do. Though I don't believe that it has to be a dichotomous choice actually. The thing is, neonicotinoids are mainly used by the Sugar Beet industry, (from what I've heard about those who most strongly oppose the ban), and that's not exactly food is it? Cheap or otherwise. So maybe it isn't a choice between cheap food or the countryside at all in this particular case. I'd guess it's about maximising profit for the industry, hence why the previous muppets refused to impose the ban. Look around you, we don't need any more sugar in the UK. Bees and other flying insects are far more beneficial to us.

Ta. I can see that working along the grain. But end grain?

Interesting. No I don't scrape. I've seen references to it but never tried or really looked into the technique. What's it all about?

I just looked it up. Bloody hell, he's a proper narcotics gourmand isn't he? That'll be one thing that him and Trump won't see eye to eye on for starters. "Some executives and board members fear the billionaire’s use of drugs—including LSD, cocaine, ecstasy, mushrooms and ketamine—could harm his companies."

I must have missed that bit of blasphemous dirt on Musk. What's his drug or drugs of choice then? Coke?

The one that that lump, and lots more besides, came from had no spikes. It was much too far gone, there weren't even any branches left on it. It's lovely wood from an aesthetic point of view, pretty colour and figure, bit of a bugger to work and finish though as it's hard and tough. Luckily it makes good firewood also.

That's it then folks, the season of peace and goodwill is over already. At least we had a couple of pages of other news back there. Free of the usual @Johnsondism. Looks like we're back to cesspit status again already. Here's some good news. Labour have done well on this front anyway. Long overdue, the previous lots dragged their heels on it for far too many years. Deadly neonicotinoids ban must bring overdue respite for bees, say The Wildlife Trusts | The Wildlife Trusts WWW.WILDLIFETRUSTS.ORG Today, the UK Government has announced its intention to bring forward a “complete ban on bee killing pesticides” with...

Sharp as a pin you are, or a Robinia spike for that matter.
-
Yes, correct. The base is Robinia. I think. I'm impressed you got that to be fair. It took me quite a while to figure out what it was when I was cutting the tree down as it was long since dead. Just a big knarly trunk. It was rotted out hollow in the middle. No sign of spalting though as you say. The mushroom itself is Ash, hence the course grain. I've not seen as much spalting in that before.

Nice work. But which bit are you referring to?

Guess the wood anyone?

I fear you may be asking too soon. (If it was only felled a month ago.) Sorry Mark!

Me neither, but I guessed Green Laning as it referenced holding gates open?

Gisèle Pelicot rape trial: Ex-husband Dominique jailed for 20 years WWW.BBC.CO.UK The convictions bring to an end France's largest ever rape trial, which has shocked the country and world. Brave woman. Possibly more shocking was that so many "normal" blokes were complicit. A horrific case, from all perspectives.
