  1. I'd have to agree about them being a waste of time, mores the pity. There's sod all effective roots on them. What a waste, if only the lazy buggers had dug out a bit further around the rootball. @Ty Korrigan - what particular aspects of climate change are driving the orchard owners to rip them out? Too hot, too wet, too dry? Wondering if we'll see similar over here in a year or few.
  2. Wordle 1,014 4/6 🟨⬜⬜⬜⬜ 🟨🟩🟩⬜⬜ 🟨🟩🟩⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Happy with my workings today, no blind guessing at the end, as sometimes happens.
  3. What's another few percent on top of the 20% rise in council tax bill that we're already facing? Due to a bankrupt city council. I'm sure others will follow suit in due course.
  4. It would surely improve the mess we're currently in on that front, if nothing else. Raw sewage spills into England rivers and seas doubles in 2023 WWW.BBC.CO.UK Environment Agency data shows sewage spilled into England's waterways for over 3.6 million hours last year. Thames Water boss says bills need to rise by 40% WWW.BBC.CO.UK The regulator, whose approval is needed for any price rises, has pushed back on substantial bill increases. Boat Race rowers told not to enter Thames due to high levels of E. coli WWW.BBC.CO.UK Crews have also been warned to cover blisters and wear footwear due to high levels of E. coli. A sorry state of affairs whichever way you choose to look at it.
  5. There must be something wrong. It's the Easter weekend and there's no rain showing here for the next three days, after today. πŸ€”

  7. Correct letters but in the wrong position.

  9. You're a little bit previous, only a year or so mind.

    Topical

    They're busy in Russia at the moment;- Kate rumours linked to Russian disinformation WWW.BBC.CO.UK Researchers say a co-ordinated campaign deliberately heightened rumours about the Princess of Wales.
  11. Wordle 1,011 3/6 🟨⬜⬜🟨⬜ 🟩🟨🟨⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Happy with that. Racking my brains for a while but then hit with a flash of inspiration.
  12. I mean, you've got to be pretty dim to have made a mistake like that surely? It's scary how out of touch with reality, the natural world, a lot of people are these days.
  13. That's somewhat criptic. So, what do you believe is really going on in N. Korea?
  14. I guess I might be out on a limb here, (wink), but I there's a lot to be said for not over stretching yourself, in any sense of the word. If you've enough money for everything you need, and most things you want then that's enough I reckon. Preferably with a job you really enjoy. I've never seen the appeal of working all god's hours, away from home, just to end up with a fat tax bill that you can then moan about forever afterwards. Quality of life and free time has always been more of a priority for me, even more so now with young children around. As I get older the endgame is becoming more important, I want to retire as early as possible whilst I've still got life in me. So pensions and other stashes are also a priority now, any spare money goes towards that rather than splashing it around on stuff I don't really need.
  15. Nah, I think there's one mental Korean, (little fat bloke with a silly hair cut, no not Donald Trump), and the rest of the country would probably be fairly normal if they were given the chance.
  16. Speaking of Titmarsh - he's in trouble again. For wearing the wrong trousers this time! North Korea censors Alan Titchmarsh's trousers on BBC gardening show NEWS.SKY.COM North Korea is known to illegally stream western TV shows including Premier League football, and on Korean Central... Bizarre .
  17. Indeed. Amazing the way that the structure just crumples like soggy cardboard.
  18. _____ forth? Hindsight is wonderful.
  19. No good. Wordle 1,010 X/6 🟨⬜⬜⬜⬜ ⬜⬜🟨⬜🟩 ⬜🟩⬜⬜🟩 ⬜🟩🟩⬜🟩 ⬜🟩🟩🟩🟩 ⬜🟩🟩🟩🟩
  20. Serious case of emoji inflation going on here this last couple weeks.
  21. No need to throw the towel in tonight. Wordle 1,009 4/6 🟨⬜⬜⬜⬜ ⬜⬜🟨⬜🟩 ⬜🟩🟨🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
  22. What's a c anal forager, dare I ask?
  23. To be fair, he is quite entertaining, and the portfolio of subjects that he contributes to is wide and varied. Unlike other trolls on here.
  24. I must move in the wrong circles. The vast majority of people I know earn less than 100k. Even combined incomes between couples. Those that do earn over that are doctors, consultants, and don't begrudge the tax they pay at all. Not surprising with the conditions they have to work under. Id be surprised if many tree people on Arbtalk earn over 100k actually. It'd be interesting to know.
  25. Wordle 1,008 5/6 ⬜⬜⬜🟨⬜ ⬜🟩⬜⬜🟨 ⬜🟩🟨🟨⬜ ⬜🟩🟩⬜🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 An Easter theme today.
