  1. Update. So I cut it back even more ruthlessly earlier this year. There's hardly any branches of the original tree left at all now. Those that are are still suffering from blossom end rot. Albeit less severely I think. The weird thing is that all the various grafts that are on the tree seem completely unaffected, they're romping away in fact. I don't understand how that can be. The poor tree is completely fcked now. If it wasn't for the grafts, (of apples that I particularly selected), I'd cut and remove it completely. As if is, I wouldn't mind leaving it for the sake of those grafts, but the infection appears to be moving further down the tree into the main boughs and trunk. Penny for your thoughts?
  2. I saw this last night and thought WTF. They had already been chasing it for a number of hours before ramming it; surely enough time to call in a vet or even local livestock farmer for assistance. Watch: Cow hit by police car gets to its feet WWW.BBC.CO.UK Footage shared with the BBC shows the animal looking stunned in the aftermath of the incident on a Surrey street.
  3. That is a surprise. At least they serve beer in French McDonald's joints.
  4. That's part of the cause probably. In a lot of UK garages now you actually have to fight your way through aisles of tempting crap to get to the cashier. They make it difficult just to go straight up and pay.
  5. Rinsed it. Wordle 1,092 3/6 ⬜🟨🟨⬜🟨 ⬜⬜🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Avoiding the obvious comment here.
  6. I'm not an expert practitioner, as you obviously are, but I imagined the wax to be quite soft. So you could press it and squeeze into the holes slightly. It must be sticky at least, actually you testified to that already! Probably best to keep this as a last resort idea. In case it pushes the ear wax further in.
  7. Well, this has to be one of the more "out there" threads! Thinking laterally from the hot glue idea - how about hair removal wax strips? You know, like the ladies use, (and some metrosexual men apparently).
  8. Yeah, fair point, but they're quite a recent thing. I've been seeing "Pan Fried" on menus for years.
  9. Fried Sea Bass. Luvley Jubley. I was going to put Pan Fried, but thought what's the point? Why do they always put that on menus, how else would you fry fish, if not in a pan?
  10. Wordle 1,091 4/6 🟨🟨⬜⬜⬜ 🟨🟨🟨⬜🟨 ⬜⬜🟨🟨🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Could of been a 3 I'd like to think, but I rushed it annoyingly.
  11. Got my head around this now I think. So it's basically capsising a slipped overhand knot type of arrangement. Looks like it could be quicker to tie once you've got the knack of it.
  12. Here's some hyped up non-news, with a green/arb tint to it. Shear madness! House swallowed by hedging on sale for £45,000 (and wait until you see inside!) | Daily Mail Online WWW.DAILYMAIL.CO.UK Nature has truly thrived in the garden of a property located in Merseyside as vines and weeds have wrapped around the...
  13. Why, for what purpose? I'm struggling to visualise that set-up, care to share us a cheeky photo?
  14. Oh. That's a bit weird then. This is what Mr Google said. how many wordle words are there - Recherche Google WWW.GOOGLE.COM I know that American English is a dumbed down version of the original, but surely it doesn't have 90% less 5 letter words.
  15. Facebook M.FACEBOOK.COM https://m.facebook.com/reel/1257619038569722/?mibextid=rS40aB7S9Ucbxw6v An apparently quick and easy way to do a Bowline.
  16. Yep, me too. My retention time is more like 2 minutes though.

    Jokes???

    Not particularly funny but it has a certain allure nonetheless. (Apologies for the thread cross-contamination but Mr Bolam might appreciate this one).
  18. What I want to know is: what are we all going to do when Wordle runs out of words? There's only 1219, (three and a bit years worth), left FFS!
  19. That ridiculous. I really don't see the point. Have you asked your mate about it?
  20. Seriously tempted, but not giving in yet. Agree, FFS! It's almost mid-summer.
  21. Wordle 1,090 4/6 🟩⬜⬜⬜⬜ 🟩⬜⬜⬜⬜ 🟩⬜⬜⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 I was really starting to feel it as well! I was seriously running out of letters to try. Never seen a board like that, from 1 to 5 green, and no orange.
  22. I meant £50 grand above the national average salary, but no matter. #figures_for_notional_purposes_only
