Decent enough firewood. Quick to grow, quick to season, quick to burn, quick to heat.

That was the defence given by someone at the BBC I heard when challenged about the disproportionate amount of airtime given over to Reform. It doesn't stack up to me. Chicken and Egg scenario I think. They could if they chose, by giving them a lot of airtime, help Green or Orange to set the agenda, to be influencers. I suspect that they wouldn't align with Robbie Gibb's views though. Are you sure Reform are really setting the agenda, or just responding to the agenda? They're just a symptom of the wider problems in truth. I believe that it's more likely that the media, (traditional and socials), backed by big tech and big money, are the actual agender setters. Did you not see the recent piece of Grok disinformation? It was a perfect example.

Hard to fathom how they were allowed to carry on shooting for at least 10 minutes without an adequate police response.

I'm never sure if you're joking or not. I fear though that what you may say in jest will turn out to be true. The disinformation spread by our very own little influencer and Grok will be accruing more than a few votes for Reform and similar movements. Both should be unplugged henceforth.

Three good points all. I wonder how much of that bias is due to Robbie Gibb's influence behind the scenes at the BBC. Reform get many times more airtime than Green. Whilst Orange get virtually no mention at all, despite 12 times more seats.

That's weird. Any idea why there's such conflicting information? Couldn't get much more different in terms of names, and inferred heritages. I've not been following the story closely.

What pin pointer, cable detector in walls kind of thing you mean? Mine was reasonably expensive, but never seems that effective, on much bigger bits of metal than 3mm lead balls.

Guessing he doesn't drink, but yeah, massive credit where it's due. 'Hero' who wrestled gun from Bondi shooter named as Ahmed al Ahmed WWW.BBC.CO.UK Eleven people were killed in the shooting at Australia's Bondi Beach, as crowds attended an event to celebrate Hanukkah.

Nice table too. I bet that's got some history. Patina galore.

Exactly. Four weeks with no arrivals is rather a long time. Makes one think there is a certain bias to the AT news service. I wonder how many legal immigrants arrived from India in that time period? Enough to make a little Mumbai I'll bet. Those post Brexit trade agreements are the dogs dangles.

Channel crossings resume after four weeks with no arrivals WWW.BBC.CO.UK The 28-day stretch with no arrivals was the longest period without any small boat crossings in seven years.

Too many tabs open to show anything incriminating, spoil sport.

Another new word. No, not that I'm aware of. Just some house trousers, tracky bees, whatever. What's your glass of choice?

Going off on a tangent. Do people have preferred or favourite drinking glasses? This is mine for beer drinking. Not sure why but I alway like this style. Something to do with poise maybe. A bit like bone china vs porcelain.

To me Oak has quite a distinctive vinegar like smell. Judging by the end grain in that last of the first lot of photos of yours I'd be surprised if that wasn't Oak. If you think you may have a mixture of logs then maybe some of it is Poplar. Superficially quite similar to Oak when it it gets big in diameter, the bark especially. I've a vague memory of it smelling sweet when fresh cut, but I could be wrong, it's been a while.
