Hake a la hedge cuttings. It's an underrated fish IMO. Just as good as Cod and only 2/3 the price. Light on bones too which is always a bonus.

They're certainly beautiful looking machines, in a menacing, brutish, sci-fi looking way. If we had a causeway it would solve the Small Boat Crisis anyway; as there'd be no need for small boats. And we could have all that tasty European food back again.

Well yeah, being Caterpillar and all.

The FT is behind a pay wall, here's the same story. At least our immigrants don't come with tanks and IDF Cat D9s. ICJ says Israeli occupation of Palestinian territories is illegal WWW.BBC.CO.UK It also says Israel should end all settlement activity there, in the landmark case.

Word Salad alert! Whats this Moccasins Laser or whatever you're talking about? You've been called out on that multiple times across multiple threads on here. Your reputation is in tatters already don't you know. Anonymous Lies lies lies! On the subject of Lavender Marriages. Some guys even go as far as having multiple children to maintain the pretense. That tension around the internal lie makes for some massive anger issues though. Anyway, Morrisons payment problems are now resolved so panic over. Everyone off out to stock up on bog roll!

This is not good, not good at all. Lays bare our over-reliance on IT systems the world over. It's apparently effecting NHS services as well as travel, banking, supermarkets, media, etc etc etc. An unplanned, enforced "digital detox" day for everyone, not the best way to do it. Planes grounded as mass worldwide IT outage hits airlines, media and banks WWW.BBC.CO.UK The cause of the outage is unclear - but Microsoft says it's taking "mitigation issues".

Wordle 1,125 3/6 ⬜⬜🟨⬜⬜ 🟨🟩🟩⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Not impressed with the quality of that word. I didn't expect it to be correct, thought I was grasping.

Yep, I saw that too. Sad indeed. Poor people have been living there in harmony with the world around them for god knows how many thousands of years and then we show up with bulldozers, chainsaws and guns to rape and pillage it all. If the bullets don't get them then the deseases probably will.

Meanwhile, Trump is doubling down on his Anti-Vax stance. Glad I don't live in Great America, with small children. 38! FACT FOCUS: Trump falsely claims babies can be seen to change 'radically' after vaccination WWW.INDEPENDENT.CO.UK In an excerpt of a recent conversation between former President Donald Trump and independent presidential candidate...

I get the Clinton/Obama/Biden bit, but what's the Pizza/Ice Cream reference about?
-
Yes, just empty spent flowers amongst set, developing fruit. I don't think you could ever tell before that. Tomato growing school?! Wow. I've heard hand pollination suggested a few times now, but always been too lazy. Maybe time to embrace it and deploy the little brush.

The AA fixed my drinking problem.

Nice Blackcurrants. What do you do with them? Jam? I need to get a plant or two. Gooseberries are doing very well this year, and Boysenberries have been extremely productive, (until.tbe bloody black birds found them). Berries are some of the few things that have actually enjoyed the crappy wet, cold weather this year at least. Not strawberries though, too cold outside. I'm seeing lots of unpollinated tomato flowers as well, a bad sign of things to come. Plenty on green toms as well though so hopefully they'll be turning soon.

Meetings with remarkable trees, the Arbtalk version
sime42 replied to Steve Bullman's topic in Picture Forum
Yeah, that's what I thought, it's been there quite a few years. I figure it's growing on a small raised bit of land or an ancient hedge maybe, and the roots have been exposed by livestock milling around and sheltering under the canopy probably. It looks a bit like Gorse growing around the trunk. My interest is piqued now so I'll investigate further another time. We'll no doubt go back again as it's a lovely spot. At the start of a tidy walk up a big hill. Brown Clee Hill in Shropshire. The highest in the county and as legend goes the highest bit of land until you get to Russia, in that easterly direction. Apparently .The view from the top is spectacular.

Could've/should've done I suppose, but it was a private field with a large fence. -
Seriously? Cloud Seeding in the UK?! Or you mean the butterfly effect of cloud seeding elsewhere in the world is behind our changing weather? I think throw away the tin foil hat and have yourself a good dose of Occam's Razor instead.
