  3. Cheers. I see what you mean. That would be much more of a shrub than a tree in my book.

  5. The thing is, we learned somewhat of a lesson from that shameful episode in our history. I'd like to believe that we became slightly more civilised after that. Take the Northern Ireland conflict for example. Despite the atrocities carried out by the IRA, we didn't seek to eradicate an entire people, and raze the land they'd lived on for generations. Sure, we killed a few innocent civilians, but several orders of magnitude less the 40000+, or whatever the hell the true figure is now. Obviously I'm not equating the two situations, merely illustrating a point about scale of response. Bringing it back on topic; gone now is the benevolent, ousted by the malevolent POTUS, but still, Biden's biggest mistake in office was probably the continuation of support and arms supply to the Zionists who hold sway in Israel.

    Jokes???

    Sarah was in the fertilized egg business.She had several hundred young pullets and ten roosters to fertilize the eggs. She kept records and any rooster not performing went into the soup pot and was replaced. This took a lot of time, so she bought some tiny bells and attached them to her roosters. Each bell had a different tone, so she could tell from a distance which rooster was performing. Now, she could sit on the porch and fill out an efficiency report by just listening to the bells. Sarah's favourite rooster, old Butch, was a very fine specimen but, this morning she noticed old Butch's bell hadn't rung at all! When she went to investigate, she saw the other roosters were busy chasing pullets, bells-a-ringing, but the pullets hearing the roosters coming, would run for cover. To Sarah's amazement, old Butch had his bell in his beak, so it couldn't ring.He'd sneak up on a pullet, do his job, and walk on to the next one. Sarah was so proud of old Butch, she entered him in a Show and he became an overnight sensation among the judges. The result was the judges not only awarded old Butch the "No Bell Peace Prize" they also awarded him the "Pulletsurprise" as well. Clearly old Butch was a politician in the making. Who else but a politician could figure out how to win two of the most coveted awards on our planet by being the best at sneaking up on the unsuspecting populace and screwing them when they weren't paying attention? Vote carefully in the next election. You can't always hear the bells.

  8. She made it for me. I thought she'd mixed it thoroughly but maybe not, it got progressively nice the further down the glass I got. The Vodka went in first.
  9. Bloody Mary. Just for the hell of it, out of curiosity. Does anyone like this stuff? It's alright , but I'm underwhelmed. It tastes more like it belongs on a dinner plate than in a glass.

  11. Back at ya https://www.woodlandtrust.org.uk/trees-woods-and-wildlife/british-trees/a-z-of-british-trees/alder/ Yeah, looks like it is both. It was definitely straight Alder that I had in mind, (I have to sheepishly admit to not even having heard of Alder Buckthorn. 😮)

  17. I'd say it needs cutting back a fair amount. If nothing else, I'd want it to be within feasible picking height for the fruit. By the look of the structure of the tree it's been cut back rather too aggressively in the past, and then over-compensated with regrowth. It'll need a carefully staged gradual reduction this time to avoid that happening again.
  18. Oh dear, the shit may well have hit the fan now.
