I think you might get away with it. I did a job for someone once that included cutting down a diseased and dying or might have been dead, apple tree. I cut it down to ground level and thought nothing of it. Going back in subsequent years I saw that it had sprouted up again. With some nurturing over the years it was growing into a decent little tree again. Not sure about the rootstock issue though, it could well have been growing from there.

I know those ceramic stoves that you mentioned, they're nice. I spent a fair bit of time in Romania a few years ago, Transylvania. I always admired them, some are really ornate, and they seem to be very efficient - kick out a lot of heat from not much wood fuel.

Hello Gabriel. I believe that 18 months should be enough to season that oak in the conditions you described. We'd normally say at least 2 years, but that's based on our rubbish wet, cloudy, very humid British climate, jealous of yours!

For sure. That crap is everywhere. We're probably only at the tip of the iceberg stage with that though, the effects are only just starting to be investigated and understood. Another nice little time bomb that we're passing on to our children.

Still on late night radio until late last year apparently. That's some devotion.

There's a serious point behind that: the difference between Life Expectancy and Healthy Life Expectancy. What's the point of living until 80 if the last 15 years or so are lived in ill health or in a care home? Might as well kick-on with the boozy breakfasts from 65.

That's odd, it let me read that FT article in full the time I looked. It seems to work if you get to it via a Google search, rather than directly from a link. life+expectancy+uk - Recherche Google WWW.GOOGLE.COM But yeah, the gist of it was as you said; "bad diets no exercise & obesity plus poverty & poor housing are decreasing lifespans among the less affluent". Plus some Covid effect.

Maybe we've past Peak Human. UK life expectancy falls to 2010 levels WWW.FT.COM ONS figures mark first drop across non-overlapping period since at least 1980

@john87 Before you fck Virgin off it's worth telling them that you're about to do so, to see what they come back with. I'd be willing to bet that they'll drop your bill considerably if you scare them like that, maybe even as much as half it. For reference. We're with Virgin, I can't remember the details, but we've got 100Mb plus BB and a rook of TV channels for £42 a month. (We were paying more than 60 quid as they'd snuck it up over the years. We challenged them and low and behold they "found us a deal") Thieving cnts.

Another bonus with Gmail is that you can store all your photos and other data as well, for free, (up to a reasonable limit).
-
Just realised - we're with Virgin for BB and TV as well, but I've never thought to use their email service, always had Gmail and it's free anyway. I also use Firefox as a browser.

Brings to mind that dodgy horror film - The Human Centipede.

Gmail for me. Been using it for years, no complaints whatsoever. Apparently it works with Thunderbird, "seamlessly". thunderbird+and+gmail - Recherche Google WWW.GOOGLE.COM

Just curious; why are you keen to get lots of mistletoe? I'm no Druid, but I'd have thought it wasn't a great idea from a commercial fruit tree growers perspective. Doesn't it weaken the trees and lower productivity?
-
You can get Okra it any Asian shop, or even general greengrocers and supermarkets occasionally. Also called Ladies Fingers.
-
Cheers. I had an idea that fritters could be made with spam. What else do you put in the mix? Onions, tatoes?
-
SPAM. Stir fried with a variety of vegetables. Actually quite tasty. It's the only way I've found to make it palatable. She keeps buying it occasionally for some reason. (I've even tried telling her what's likely to be in there, and not in there. To no avail.) Any ideas as to what else to do with the stuff?

Epic Christmas trip for you mate, but glad it wasn't so much worse. I hope it goes smoothly. I think you deserve a good dose of this to go with your Guinness:- Merry Christmas!

I bought a pair of these recently. They seem to be decent. voltXsafety.com - Ultimate Bifocal Safety Glasses WWW.VOLTXSAFETY.COM Ultimate Bifocal Safety Glasses

Fair play to ya.
-
Yeah, I do believe you're right. The pinkish wood suggests that as well. I'll revise my original opinion. Good firewood it that's what it is.
-
It doesn't look like Honey Locust to me. I'd go with Willow, or Lime maybe.
