True but flytipping? Is there any chance they're escaped and then roadkill perhaps? Not disbelieving you but it is odd

If you think that twice that pile will see you through a winter you need to think again I'm afraid! Very, very rough estimate - a decent evening's burning can easily see off a wheelbarrow of logs. But well done for going to softwood: I've burnt nothing else for 15 years or more and never had a problem. If you can grab Leyland Cypress it's lovely stuff to burn when properly dried but it's not the only one, it's just easily available I hope. Loads of good advice in previous posts; pay heed to it and you'll enjoy yourself. Good luck!

At the time of my writing I wasn't aware of the - ahem - discrepancy in Djokovic's visa application. If an honest application would have resulted in refusal to enter Australia then I have to recant my earlier position: Oz needs to allow in contestants if it wants to host the tournament but not to the extent of allowing false visa applications. I did say there are many angles to this story and everyone seems to have a different one!

And the population seem so happy to be prisoners. Weird

There are so many angles to this story. It's a bit surprising so many Aussies seem to have rolled over to their government's policies and support the stance against Djokovic. Then again it's election year isn't it. Then again Djokovic himself has proved not beyond reproach with his award giving whilst allegedly isolating: he's not the most popular player on the circuit in the first place. But overall yes, a political decision supported, perhaps a bit worryingly, by the courts. My own view is that if, as a country, you want to host a major international tournament you need to let the contestants into the country. If you want to exclude the contestants you can't host the tournament. The Oz government seem to be wanting to have their cake and eat it. My view but like I say there are many views

@openspaceman Sorry, no idea. I don't even know what town/city the guy's alluding to. I know he has knowledge of Croydon (= tramland) but then his anecdotes seem to cover all corners of England

Just found that. Thought-provoking and full of contradictory emotion on the part of the Georgians, some of whom suffered and some of whom benefitted from the exercise

Where's Episode 2? You can't leave us hanging...

Fentanyl... yep, sure stops you moving. I had a big dose IV a couple of years back and had to take a decent dose of lactulose nearly four days later 😮

I wouldn't hold your breath over which breaks down first!!! Happy Birthday; have a good one 😊 -
I think he means that if you make two bus or tram journeys within an hour of each other the second one's free of charge

Crikey; that means the firing squad for the others. Bit harsh...
-
Good man; my kind of joke. What do you call a boomerang that doesn't come back? For the one person who doesn't know - a stick

Likewise my forearm and it didn't hurt one little bit. Bled like fury but never hurt

Damage limitation commences...

Do you miss him much?

...and I have no Devon trip arranged Mark; sorry! Jon

I often wonder what life would have been like with a true brother or more: I have a closet queer half brother 18 years my senior and an adopted sister three years younger with whom I have no contact (which is fine). Effectively I'm sort of an only child which doesn't bother me but I do wonder if I missed out on a true friend. I would say value yours Eggs and I hope you have many happy times together 👍

That's a Band of Brothers! 👍

Possibly aimed at @doobin ?!!! 😂

That's an incredibly helpful post as recognised by someone who has two roosts in the cladding of his house and wants to do building work. Fortunately we've at least delayed such work on grounds of cost - we've actually withdrawn the planning application - but if we wanted to go ahead we wouldn't be able to do anything until the 3rd and 4th surveys were done late next summer. I suppose the general advice has to be the same as ever; become knowledgeable, be careful and cover your ass whatever you decide to do

Jonesy (FR Jones) at Sydenham does them

Happy Christmas - er - Birthday 😊

50... I nearly remember... 😊 62 in May 😬

+1 for this machine; it's excellent. The battery gives 50 minutes of cutting time. If you average 4-5 seconds a cut (who knows really?) that's a lot of cuts. The chain oils very freely. The only thing I don't like is the branch retrieval hook; it's useless but I guess it may be designed that way to protect the shaft from over eager users (hookers? 😂)
