Magnificent beast.

That's the agony prolonged for a few more weeks/months then.

Too right; I'd like to forget the last two years,. It's not been the best of times has it? I imagine most people would, even yourself if you're honest. All we can do is move on and hope to learn from the experience. But we digress, this kind of chat belongs in one of those other threads of yours. The Sue Gray report was but a catalyst, your man would have been found out for what he really is sooner or later anyway. (No coincidence that it was delayed for so long. "We'll just have to wait for the Sue Gray report won't we?"!) He was lying long before he came to office, and will no doubt continue to do so, regardless of the current confidence vote. My money is on Jeremy Hunt anyway, not that I'm a fan of his or any of the other names that have been touted so far. He might at least be a better bet than the rest of the little weasels that BoJo insulates himself with. Whoever it turns out to be, it'll be a positive step forward for the Conservative party. (Whatever Mr Robin Horsfall might say isn't actually gospel).

Standard. Talk about missing the point. The current vote of confidence is over the continued, blatant lying by the PM. An erosion of trust maybe, the majority of his party don't even trust him any more. They've obviously also realised that he's now become a liability rather than an asset, as the majority of the voting public have seen through the bluster and buffoonery as well. Due to the utterly dominant factor in everyday existence being a global pandemic every other country in the world has experienced it. I don't see many others going through the same political turmoil as we in the UK are, or governments that have been quite so dammed. As you say, there's more to it, rather a lot more really. Anyway, I thought someone had kindly created a shiny new thread for you recently, in which to rant and whine about Covid. You might as well stick to that one rather than this.

My long dead childhood pet dog. There's more to being a prime minister than Covid restrictions, it's a bit more involved. Just saying like.

Circling the drain? He's been in there from day one. But yeah, it's the beginning of the end. Hopefully.

Keep it simple for me. Cheese and pickle, ham and mustard, Marmite, peanut butter or jam. Or maybe controversially; tinned fish. Smoked fish as it comes out the tin or if its plain mackerel then a glug of Worcester sauce compliments it well. Or tuna and salad dressing.

High Performance Wet Rot Wood Hardener | Ronseal WWW.RONSEAL.COM Our Wet Rot Wood Hardener strengthens rotten wood and prevents more damage. It creates a strong base and makes it easy for you to fill holes and tidy up. This stuff works well, ("Does what it says on the tin". Boom!) Though I've not assessed it from an aesthetic perspective. Probably worth a try.

Did you get kicked off Grinder for too much Trolling as well?

But there's not a gun problem in America ..........

World's biggest plant discovered off Australian coast WWW.BBC.CO.UK The seagrass is roughly 4,500 years old and three times the size of Manhattan, researchers say.

South a bit ..........

Glad it it wasn't just me with the dirty mind. I thought it reminiscent of certain parts beginning with an L.

Is it a brushless motor? I had a similar wobbly chuck issue with a Makita drill driver I bought about 5 years ago. It developed it soon after I got it. I sent it back to Makita but they said they could find nothing wrong so didn't fix it. I looked it up and apparently it's a common fault with early brushless motor cordless tools. It seems like a bearing thing to me but I didn't dig any deeper. Apart from that its a really good tool, I've still got it and use it fairly frequently. Though also got a mains drill and a cordless impact driver so it only does light work. (I suspect I caused the wobbly issue by doing a fair bit of hard masonry drilling with it early on. Though they ought to be designed to take that.) Wrt. the stripping screw heads thing; I reckon that's down to not necessarily dodgy but just old screws. Modern screws are probably designed to be driven by a drill or impact driver so are made of s harder type of steel.

If you want to take the roots out I'd suggest using a Mattock because you'll knacker the chainsaw chain in no time otherwise. If the mattock is reasonably sharp it will probably be just as quick anyway; the roots will be quite soft since they are live. Though if you do cut the roots the tree will die fairly soon afterwards, or fall over least. So you might as well use the chainsaw to cut the tree down instead.

Interesting. Now we're getting down to the nitty gritty details of the issue. I heard an article in the FT mentioned earlier; saying that the rise of mass shooting events in recent years in the US was at least partly due to the increased use of Social Media. I wonder if that is correlated with income inequality.

More likely that lockdowns meant that there were no mass gatherings of defenceless people, such as in schools, at which the Gun Nuts could enact their sick fantasies.

Hours of fun with one of them, plus the pints of hot tea.

There's a few other horrendous statistics on this issue as well. Apparently firearms are the leading cause of death for American children, for instance. Guns now leading cause of death for American children, CDC says NYPOST.COM More than 5 deaths per 100,000 Americans between the ages of 1 and 19 were due to guns in 2020, the most recent year for which the CDC has data. Maybe this subject would be better placed on the Brainwashed Americans thread ........

Yeah, most garden centres are a joke now. If you want to buy tack and tat you might as well save money and get it much cheaper at a Pound Stretcher type shop. If you actually want to buy real plants you need to go to a nursery.

Not to mention the hardcore and other builders waste that's normally buried two inches below the surface of any new build garden that I've ever worked in.
