No, they shouldn't hand out clothes, but maybe they shouldn't be so free and easy with the scissors! I think the idea is that if they need to get a body undressed in A&E they just cut the clothes off with hardcore scissors, rather than undressing. In the name of expediency and minimal movement, in case of spinal injuries. Which is fair enough. Speaking from bitter personal experience, it is quite annoying. I lost a good jacket and pair of jeans that way, and got sent home in scantily arse covering hospital pyjamas. I vaguely remember that they even cut a necklace off as well. Only myself to blame as I was rushed in there after an episode of youthful over indulgence!

I wouldn't bother with insurance claims, fraudulent or otherwise. I'd just patch the hole up with this stuff, been around for years so tried and tested. It's mouldable and stays more or less soft so doesn't crack too much with time.

What about particularly knotty, seemingly impregnable crap, Sitka Spruce for example? What's your technique for something like that? I find sometimes that it's more efficient to resort to chainsawing it into log sized bits rather than expending loads of time and energy manually wrestling it. (Not having a mechanical splitter).

Come on, be fair - it's not always possible to find something from Today's news to get incensed by. 🤷♂️

Its easier to split when freshly cut, when it's still "relatively" soft and flexible. I think this is the case for most woods, though I stand to be corrected, I know there are a few exceptions. Oak will take longer than a year to fully season, unless split into really small bits. Maybe 2 or even 3 years I reckon.

Could do with some pickle though.

Hell no. Just peel them, in a rather messy fashion.

Prawn Sambal. They were bloody giants!

I pity the poor wives in your neck of the woods! Someone is drinking a hell of a lot these energy drinks. Must be the young'uns as previously suggested. I'm sure its been linked to antisocial behaviour. A diet of this, NOX and high strength weed can't be good! Tesco gave us 8 cans of RockStar drink, I think it was, in our last food delivery. For free. This stuff is really being pushed at the moment.

That as well. You'd have to pay me to drink the stuff these days. I'm not worried about the bull's testicles, (that it reputedly contained when it first came out), more all the artificial crap in there. I'll stick to coffee.

I thought that was going to be Daniel MacAskill, it's the crazy kind of stunt that he pulls. Undoubtedly impressive but you've got to ask why. I think Red Bull have more money than sense sometimes, but maybe it's all just good marketing and promotion.

Likewise. Most of my seedlings are still looking shyte in this black shyte they call compost. Getting really pissed off with it. I'm starting to transplant all of them into decent homemade stuff now.

I thought you were our resident expert on all things Moonbat. 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️ This isn't moonbat territory, just eminently sensible thinking. I'm not familiar with this guy but I'd imagine him to have a rational and unblinkered mindset.

Good question, I've been thinking the same myself. I cut a load down last year and loath to consign it all to firewood, though it is good as such.. It seems pretty dense and hard, must be good for some tool making or something. I was planning to turn some at least but it seems prone to splitting.

I figured that it was destined to be a "cute" plaything for some vacuous drug dealers moll.

Stunned cops discover LAMB in car along with £10k worth of drugs during motorway stop WWW.GLASGOWTIMES.CO.UK Stunned cops who pulled over a suspected drug driver this weekend found £10,000 of Class A drugs - and a tiny lamb. Comedy captions anyone?

I've not seen that, but I can believe it. Probably part of the Tesla R and D strategy. I'm with you on that, I wouldn't spend money on one, even if I could. Though I was impressed with the video my mate proudly sent me; of his Tesla efficiently parking itself. (He was stood outside filming it.) Much better than most human efforts you see these days.

It's the Tesla ethos as well, probably an Elon Musk thing. He's the same with making cars. If there's a long established way of doing something then he'll deliberately go out of his way to try other approaches. Most of which fail but all the time he's gathering valuable failure mode data and eventually finds a method/process/technology that is superior to anything else. Got to admire him for it, constantly pushing the limits. He is an A-Hole though!

Nice. Like an Anglo Pesto, like it. We picked a load of wild garlic last weekend. Weren't so creative with it though, she just fried it up with some egg and soy sauce. Still good. We also picked a bag of stinging nettles. They're also very good. I simply fried them with some olive oil, salt and pepper. Interesting, nice, flavour and surprisingly dense texture. Highly recommended. Full of iron and other good stuff apparently.

You've missed several points as usual. No matter. I'm always happy to provide you a "reasonable reply" to use as a launch pad to go off on your favourite rants. 👍 COVID - check Masks - check Vaccines - check SNP - check Labour - check Kier Starmer - check Knee taking - check Not bad, though I missed a couple of seques to offshore wind turbines and LGBTQIA??2S+/- type topics.

Yep that's the stuff, very dark and fibrous and full of rubbish. I've had some like that. I speculated that it was from some kind of municipal recycling facility. I think I've even recognised pieces of the Toolstation Garden Waste bags! Excellent bags by the way, very tough, (obviously, since they got through the recycling process). Good point about residue weedkillers and other chemicals, I'd not considered that. If there are traces in the compost it could explain how some seeds germinate and then just do nothing and then finally give up.
