  1. ...... or exploit.
  2. Fat fingered
  3. Took me a while to realise this was Tommy Robinson. Pond scum as you rightly say. Dangerous too.
  4. A good start would be to open a proper, independent enquiry now, into the massive failings of the current government over the last 18 months. Now, not in 2 years time when they've all buggered off.
  5. What happened there then, I didn't hear about that? How on earth did she condemn the RNLI?
  6. Horrible woman, by any metric.
  7. Funny that you encourage increasing the price after you've bought your copy. I've not purchased mine yet! [emoji50]
  8. Looks good, reckon I'll be getting a copy for my son/me in a year or so.
  9. Looks like it's all kicked off over there. Not good.
  10. That doesn't matter because the government has got all businesses to do countless Covid Risk Assessments. They seem to think that will miraculously risk assess the problem away. Whether or not they actually action any of the highlighted hazards is beside the point.
  11. We're all jokers on here.
  12. I know. So was I.
  13. Seriously? People really think they no longer need to observe drink driving laws etc? I don't use Facebook so haven't read any of these comments that are worth looking at.
  14. Seatbelts and traffic lights to be 'personal responsibility' from next week | The Daily Mash WWW.THEDAILYMASH.CO.UK THE government will lift all obligations to observe red lights or wear seat belts as of Monday, no matter the consequences.
  15. Don't forget a bit of blue sky thinking in the break out room. Watch out for those false equivalences and apologists though.
  16. Pretty sure it would be to the benefit of this forum if that were ever to happen..

    poplar

    They use it quite widely in France in construction.
  18. I didn't know that but not at all surprised. If you've ever cracked open a coconut shell; it's an extremely hard material. Much harder than wood for instance.
  19. Mine isn't hairy like that. [emoji848]
  20. Wow. Yep, I know it's nice wood for turning, lovely texture, colour and finishes well. There's two other dead or nearly so laburnum trees in that garden. I took a decent looking chunk yesterday and got my greedy little eyes on more when I go back! Only problem is that I've found its prone to splitting badly during seasoning when I've kept some before.
  21. Must be a Midlands thing, I'm also in the W.M and very happy with the veg garden in the main this year. Lettuces are growing well. Courgettes are just starting to kick into full production and peas, Mangetout, have gone crazy. Plants are 7ft tall now and we're picking enough for a meal almost every day. I'm not growing cucumbers this year, trying gherkins instead; they're productive. Loads of toms coming but non starting to ripen yet. The French beans aren't even flowering yet but I was late getting them in. I can never get my successive seed sowing right. I'll have a gap in my salad veg soon. Got lots of seedlings but they're only just big enough to plant out now.
  22. Kohlrabi? Very impressive.
  23. They're early morning operatives. I never caught them at it. Though when they got caught in the Fenn trap it was always early mornings.
  24. Anyone know how big or how old Laburnums can grow to? I was working on one today, stripping it of it's almost complete cover of suffocating ivy. I was surprised by how big it was. It was about 12 or maybe 14 inches diameter at ground level where I severed the ivy stems.
  25. Sure it's not squirrels? I used to have a problem with them attacking my courgettes. Part of the reason why I hate the buggers!
