Not sure on the original question, (though it's probably not something to worry about at this stage), but I read an interesting fact about Hornbeam yesterday. It's actually more closely related to Birch and Hazel, rather than Beech. I always assumed the latter as the leaves and bark are so similar.

Guilty as charged. Maybe! Though to be fair it's more like Johnsond and anyone that he doesn't agree with, of which there are many. Don't think I'm the common belligerent here.

Just my thought, but rather than getting sidetracked by the age old immigration/Muslim debate, what we should actually be focusing on is knife crime. Why exactly do so many young people, (largely boys), feel compelled to go out and kill innocent folk with knives? (Or guns if we were in America). There's clearly other reasons, as well as religious extremism. As a parent, the issue of knife crime worries me far more than immigration and Islam.

It seems sometimes like that receptive audience is just sitting on their phone waiting to suck up all those poisonous rumours as soon as they start, just to further their own hateful agenda. As we've just seen.

So that "information going around" that you saw, where did you see it?

How conspiracies pushed by Andrew Tate and Tommy Robinson led to Southport violence INEWS.CO.UK Baseless conspiracies as well as racist and anti-Islam falsehoods are spreading on social media and appear to have fueled... Surprise surprise. Two well known upstanding blokes, plus others, stirring up gullible thickos as soon as they could.

Not to mention heavy. There'll be a few mallets there, rot allowing.

Yeah, I keep reading this topic as Geese whenever I see it.

Soup, for me. The smooth blended type. A winter favourite. I've sometimes been tempted into adding some kind of croutons on top. It's never as good as anticipated. The mouth doesn't when whether to chew or just swallow.

Meetings with remarkable trees, the Arbtalk version
sime42 replied to Steve Bullman's topic in Picture Forum
Interesting. Looks quite visceral somehow. -
Good food is always about contrasts, between tastes and textures. I'm a Marmite fan, no question. I actually think the optimal way to consume it is in a boring, plain white bread sandwich. The bland stodge is the perfect foil for the strong salty/tangy/umami. Never tried the crunch of lettuce. I imagine cucumber would also work.

Been going past this tree for years, finally stopped to take a photo. I'm always a little surprised to see it's still standing. I'd be interested to see the root structure underneath.

Inappropriate. I know almost anything goes on this thread, but there's a line, however distant it seems at times. Trying to make political capital from a tragedy like this, so quickly, crosses that line in my opinion. Very poor judgement Dave.

Those Damsons look superb. Have you noticed the apples being earlier than normal this year? Ours are way ahead I'm sure. If they continue to grow at this rate they'll be football sized by autumn. It was a good year for Gooseberries here, they've just finished. And Boysenberries. Blueberries are off the scale. We're picking a bowl like this every few days now. All from just three plants. Cucumbers, Toms and Chillies are just starting to kick on in the greenhouses. No Bitter Gourds as yet though. All the berries must have loved the wet first half of the year.

Yeah, I reckon pictures ought to be mandatory for any post on this thread.

Before your get angry - you asked a genuine question, there's a genuine answer. I'm just subbing in for Mark J, he deserves a rest.

A brace of Hungarians. And an interesting County conversion. 1km of cable on the winch! Ex BT machine.
