Yes, continental type dry heat is certainly easier on the body. I'd still rather have a few more days of this though, to make up for the months and months of crap wet and cold weather we had for most of the first half of this year.

If just feels like a big failure of organised religion to me.

This is a tragic, ridiculous situation At least 1,301 people died during Hajj - Saudi Arabia WWW.BBC.CO.UK Most were unregistered pilgrims who walked long distances in intense heat, officials said.

Wordle 1,100 4/6 ⬜🟩⬜⬜⬜ ⬜🟩⬜⬜⬜ 🟨🟩⬜⬜🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Nice word. Nice place, (I'm sure the inhabitants would say).

This is a feisty little number..Tasty too. I found it on the West Indian aisle in the supermarket. They must have got a taste for it.

That's the best way to do it: stones and soil for wooden posts, (or hardcore better still), rammed in hard hard, and concrete for concrete posts. Wooden posts concreted in invariably rot in a narrow band at ground level. Two inches above is fine, two inches below is fine, it's just that interface where you've got water and air present.

They'll see through that, they'll soon work out what's a real threat and what's not. They'll clever little cnuts. On a tree of that size I think the only thing that'll work is extermination. Either by trap, gun or poison. That'll only work for a while though as other individuals will move in quite soon to claim the territory. The only long term solution is a nationwide cull, extermination campaign, which isn't going to happen any time soon unfortunately.

You're on fire this week mate.

It matters I think, because it has an adverse affect on the whole Arbtalk site. It's a taint that brings the tone of the place down.

And yet, a war crime is still a war crime, regardless of what the other side has done. I'll try another angle, and phrase it differently; war crimes are measured in absolute terms, not relative terms. Does that resonate at all, anywhere? Here is a very very small piece of paper, and a very very small pencil; please list for us the things that do not make your piss boil. I've only ever seen you vent your feelings of indignation, rage and hatred. Never anything positive or uplifting. Why is that?

"Supposed UK war crimes"? Which of those listed in the article do you believe to not actually be so? Or were you just talking hypothetically again? No, I generally did not work that out. To my mind a war crime is a war crime, regardless of where it was committed, the perpetrators place of birth or indeed the observers place of birth. I'm pretty sure stuff like this is normally measured objectively, rather than subjectively.

Thinking on this a bit more. Is it a small tree, a sampling? If so the chilli idea could probably work. In the form of a semi hardening paste though. Something like flour and water or maybe wallpaper paste. With a load of chilli powder or flakes mixed in. You could then apply it to the effected branches in a thick layer and then it should stay there for a number of days, even if it rains. (As long as it had time to harden first). If you buy the chilli in bulk, a 500g, or 1kg bag say, it'll be quite cheap. Much more so than Tabasco.
-
No, I would say it will not damage the tree. On the other hand, it probably won't deter the squirrels for long either unfortunately. Most of it will be washed off as soon as it rains. I feel your frustration: squirrels are an absolute menace, to put it politely. What's more, Sycamore is one of their favourite trees to attack in this way. Aside from a more heavy handed solution, I'm not sure what else to suggest to help here.

Probably makes it smell slightly more pleasant too. What's the function of the apple and molasses exactly? Presumably the sugar is the active ingredient. The seaweed fertiliser that I use smells good enough to eat, I have to refrain from trying a teaspoon, like it's got molasses or something similar in it as well.

Why? Do you need to know his employment status as well?

Can this really be true?

That sounds really scary. If you're prone to believing stuff like that. I'd say it's the latter though, but I'm biased I spose. A lot of world class athletes are mixed race too.
