  1. As well as making your knickers smell sweet it also stops them being attacked by moths. Cedar is naturally moth repellent as they hate the smell .
  2. Yep. I've only ever had to use one once, for a breakdown. It was very unpleasant as you feel highly exposed. And that was a conventional hard shoulder, with no live traffic behind either.
  3. Not sure about anyone else, but the idea of taking away the hard shoulder on motorways has always made me uneasy. Not very smart at all. Claims that smart motorways tech leaves drivers at risk WWW.BBC.CO.UK Figures obtained by the BBC reveal worries about the reliability of the tech behind smart motorways.
  4. Similarly, it's possible to be a Palestinian child and not be a member or even supporter of Hamas. Meatheads of all flavours to Rwanda, what a good idea. That'd be a tiny bit of value of money at least.
  5. Haven't they gor anything better to do with their time?
  6. Wordle 1,039 X/6 ⬜⬜⬜⬜🟨 ⬜⬜🟨⬜⬜ ⬜⬜🟨⬜🟨 🟨🟨⬜🟨🟩 ⬜🟩⬜🟩🟩 ⬜🟩⬜🟩🟩 That got away from me. A couple of days off and I seem to have become a dunce.
  7. Only if you don't mind wearing those silly looking flat bowling shoes every time you walk on your lawn. To my limited knowledge, (not being at all a lawn fan), the finer and nicer looking the grass is; the less hard wearing it is.
  8. Ah, fair enough. He sounds like our neighbour; perfect lawn, (with perfectly parallel lawn mower tracks), spotless cars, windows, block paved drive etc etc. Its what his weekends are made for. A couple of years ago he relocated the shed at the end of the garden. By a couple of feet. It's a large shed too, must be 15x15' at least. He said that previously it wasn't quite central and not quite aligned when looking out from the house. I kid you not!
  9. I'd suggest not looking too closely. Grass is grass in my book. Even moss passes for grass sometimes, at least it's green and not muddy. Is your friend a lawn bowler or croqueter or something?

  11. Nicest day of the year today I reckon. Down here in Exeter at least. Sunny all day and 15+ degrees.

  13. It would prefer sun. Just make sure it gets enough water if the weather turns hot and sunny, trees can dry the soil out quickly in pots.
  14. Also good for keeping witches from your door apparently, (as in the Scottish tradition I think.) It shouldn't be relatively easy to dig up and relocate, growing as it is in what looks like gravel.
  15. Bugger Wordle 1,034 6/6 🟨⬜⬜⬜⬜ ⬜🟨🟨🟨⬜ 🟨🟩⬜🟩⬜ ⬜🟩🟨🟩⬜ 🟨🟩⬜🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 If only I'd used a pen and paper! 😂
  16. I'm not sure that pen and paper is allowed you know. WTF! One of the frustrations is that you can't fill in boxes from the rhs. I.e. if you've got some green letters towards the end of the word, you can't put them in first to give you a feel for what the beginning letters might be. Tricky to explain.
  17. This is a sad story. ‘These birds are telling us something serious is happening’: the songbirds disappearing from Britain’s woods | Birds | The Guardian WWW.THEGUARDIAN.COM The dramatic decline of marsh tits in an ancient Cambridgeshire woodland is a story repeated across the UK as human activity...
  18. I'm going to start later with some TOAST, then maybe some BACON, and then a ROAST. No CURRY though as that would just be a waste.
  19. Here's a good dirty five letter word.
  20. Thanks for the corroboration mate. 🙂
  21. I quite like that trunk form actually, it's somehow got the form and grace of a belly dancer.
  22. So you want the three most dangerous drugs by far, the three that cause the actual vast majority of drug related deaths to remain legal, whilst the rest, lots of them far more benign btw, to remain illegal or unregulated. Why? That stance makes no sense. What do you propose we do to tackle the drug problem? That's a genuine, not rhetorical, question. I'm not advocating everything be legalised by the way, I'm just not sure that's the right way to go on this. It's a complex issue for sure, one that requires a nuanced, multifaceted approach. Simplistic, narrow minded thinking, like trying to ban everything we can't yet get a handle on isn't the answer. It's just running away from the problem and trying to pretend it doesnt exist. Worse than that actually, it's abandoning the less fortunate among us, and leaving them to their feat of miserable, untimely deaths. Not a good look. If not legalisation, then at least bringing drugs under under some kind of state control and hence regulation would be a step in the right direction. Leaving the production and supply in the hands of criminals is obviously not going to be beneficial for anyone concerned. Apart from said criminals. First step though is to have a grown up, educated, open minded discussion. You seem to be falling at that first hurdle.
  23. I would remove it. With damage like that, whatever it is, it's days are probably numbered. The tree looks to be quite young and small from that photo; easier to do it now rather than when it becomes more of an issue as it grows bigger.
