    Jokes???

    Or I ate all ("the sum of") the pies.
  5. But she's not wearing Chainsaw Trousers. Outrageous.
  6. If you're planning on moving to NZ soon it'd be easier hold off on buying a saw now, and just get one there instead. (Unless theres a big price differential obvs). It was a good few years ago now, but I did two chainsaw courses, (cs30/31 and cs38/39), at different companies and they both provided decent saws for all attendees. It wasn't even a question. I assumed that was the norm for such courses until now. On the downside, they also provided all PPE I think, including atrocious hot, heavy, cowboy style Chaps! (for the first course) Can you find another training provider who will include the use of their saws?
  7. Not sure about the bots or AI content on that page, looked fairly human to me. You're definitely right about the second bit. All these sites are set up to and run by algorithms to give the "consumer" what they want to see in terms of "news" and opinion. It a vicious circle; the more you look at, the more you see. It's a downwards cycle to radicalisation. As we're seeing in this instance.
  8. Do smell essence of Gammon/Bannon when you use LinkedIn?
  9. Wordle 1,152 4/6 ⬜⬜⬜⬜🟨 ⬜🟩🟩🟩⬜ ⬜🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 I thought that was going to be a chore this evening.
  10. So you've answered your own question then, it must be the sunlight. Either directly or indirectly. Maybe the UV, or increased temperature, or both, cause a reaction between the petrol and plastic to happen at a faster rate than normal. Or something. Too many years since I though about any chemistry.
  11. Liz Truss event interrupted by banner depicting a lettuce NEWS.SKY.COM A similar stunt was pulled earlier in the year when a sign was lowered during an on-stage appearance by Nigel Farage. There's the video in that one.
  12. That lightened my day earlier as well. Liz Truss rages at lettuce banner and says prank β€˜was not funny’ WWW.INDEPENDENT.CO.UK The former prime minister dubbed the group behind the prank, Led by Donkeys, β€˜far left’ accusing them of attempting to...
  13. Just reminiscing. Little did we know back then, quite how much more interesting the world was going to become. The coup in Turkey was but a little playground scrap looking back, compared to all the shit going on now. This was pre:- Trump, Brexit, Boris/Liz/Rishi/Tory Meltdown, Global Pandemic, Russia/Ukraine, Israel/Gaza. All that has happened in just 8 short years. Jeez.

  15. Nice. I'll skip the luke warm Wife Beater though thanks! That looks very much like our salad last night.
  16. Three in ten minutes, when I went out at 11pm. I was happy with that.

  18. Meteor shower tonight boys and girls. Keep your eyes peeled. It's a clear sky here so looks promising. Best show is after 12 though, so no chance I'll catch that. Perseid Meteor Shower 2024: When and how to watch WWW.BBC.CO.UK The Perseids meteor shower peaks between August 11th and 13th this year.
  19. You know things have changed a little since 88 - 90 right?
  20. Those bloody arsonists again no doubt, probably immigrants as well.
  21. We'll have to agree to differ on this one. I was with you all the way until then; there should be no place for bigotry, prejudice or racism on here, or anywhere else in this day and age. (Including towards cyclists!).

    Bind weed

    I dunno, it's a pernicious weed for sure, in the premier league of such things, but there's worse. At least the roots are fairly shallow and easily spotted, being bright white and nice and fat. Similar for Couch Grass. Mare's Tail, Knotweed or Bamboo are much more troublesome wrt to digging the roots out. (Mare's Tail goes down meters, and breaks off when you so much as look at it. Speaking from experience). I reckon that if you've got a blank canvass, ie. no established plants to work around, then digging Bindweed out is doable. If you're prepared to be meticulous in grabbing up every last little bit of root. And revisiting the subsequent year or two. Again, speaking from experience in my own garden.
