Not the remnants of that sappy stuff that Cherries and other Prunus trees exude lots of sometimes is it?
-
🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️ I didn't watch the documentary. You should read before banging that poor keyboard. Why are you defending this guy so aggressively anyway? I know you're partial to alt-right misogynist Influencers but even so, Russell Brand, really?

Russell Brand jokes about raping and killing woman and having sex with audience members, homeless people and children in resurfaced interview | Daily Mail Online WWW.DAILYMAIL.CO.UK The interview was removed from YouTube and Soundcloud as scandal engulfed the star, who vehemently denies claims he... I sense an implosion is imminent.

Mate, don't you ever get weary of all this? It's like you live on a cliff edge, perpetually poised to fall off into a state of indignation and rage at the merest hint of a different opinion to yours. Either that or some mean Beagles or Labradors have been fronting-up to you again! The "documentary" that riled you up this time was actually an interview that I heard on the radio, not TV. The woman sounded very sincere, whereas he just sounds like a bit of a nutcase. What are these mystery timings anyway? Was Brand about to deliver some massive exposé on the Global Cabal or something, another one?

Eh, did I miss something?
-
Which documentary?
-
The creep is toast now, as he really deserves to be. Hopefully. I've just heard quite a long interview with the 16 year old lass that he abused. It was pretty damning stuff. Blatant abuse of power and influence at the very least, but who knows what else is going to come out.

There's oodles of them around still, 500000 according to that archive, so everyone should more or less have their own local one! Much higher concentration in urban areas though. That one I saw yesterday was in the middle of nowhere, but beside a canal, on a bridge. Presumably there are more beside infrastructure like that and major roads.

Bingo! Though the number isn't the height above sea level, as I assumed it was. It's just a reference number, you can find the height from the Benchmark archive.

Since we're on a bit of a cartography trip, here's something related. Who knows what this is? I didn't until someone told me about it fairly recently, quite interesting. I saw this one today.
-
Great, looking forward to your review in about a months time then!
-
They look like they might be alright. My current pair are Hoggs, standard leather riggers. Nice, comfy boots. Just not waterproof, as they claim to be.
-
American Bully XL - the name says it all really. People aren't buying them for companionship or to run around with the kids on the lawn are they?
-
Maybe try to aquire a load of free pallets prior to starting the re-jigging work. Good source of free timber for building shelves, log stores/racks/boxes and anything else besides.
-
Nice. Thank you. That's the kind of thing I'm looking for.
-
Are they made of leather from the skin of puppies or unborn babies or something?! I take your point about lack of ankle support though. I noticed that they're banned on building sites now, maybe that's why. I should have said; I don't wear them for working anymore really, more just for kicking around, walking, camping or whatever. Not having to bother with laces, slip on/off, is a big plus point.
-
Ah, the old waterproof jacket dilemma - you either get wet from outside or wet from inside! I hoped that might not be the case with rigger boots. My chainsaw boots seem to be ideal in that respect, completely waterproof even wearing all day on wet ground, but not very hot and sweaty inside. Not an expensive make, Elten I think.
-
Maybe they can't be bothered to try to solve the Travelling Salesman Problem.
-
You're right, that does work, cheers. I've spent ages putting on leather cream, Dubbin, Mink Oil! in the past. It does stop the water, but only for a limited time in my experience. I'm too lazy to put it on frequently now so looking for a pair of boots with a waterproof lining/membrane.
-
Looks like it'll be a nice day here, dry and sunny, up to 18 degrees. It's definitely feeling very autumnal though.
-
Yeah, kinda. But I was hoping for something a bit more breathable.
-
Recommendations please anyone? Ta I've had several pairs over the years but non have ever been truly waterproof, more like shower proof; water always seems to soak in, leading to damp to wet feet after a few hours in the rain.
-
It's been cooler here today in the Midlands, but it felt even more humid and sweaty somehow. We had a couple of very light showers this morning, but nothing like the rain and storms forecast. We could do with it to be honest.
