It will be interesting if this goes to trial,I think the deffence might argue that public opinion and the furore around this might affect the verdict. I'm not going to express an opinion without all the facts,but lets hope this whole thing wakes a few people up,at least then the deaths will not be such a complete and cruel waste.

Stunning,what a waste of time & money.

Very nice Mark,if you are interested pm me a rough price,as I would be happy to buy a couple like that,and only live up the road.

Best I can find is groundsel,or any of the senecio species, they thrive on ragwort,and have been used in some countries as a control on same,to some effect. Maybe they were not so prolific until the ragwort got a hold,as it seems they require it to maintain current levels,but thats just my suposition.

Thats a stonking machine Brassmonkey,I loove it.....................But shouldn't it be in the show us your tractors thread!!! Nice ,is it a real deal dakar BM? I used to have an old R80 single seat,was a lovely bike,and given the oportunity a nice GS would fill my space.

Welcome,the 61 is a mid range sized saw about 60cc,not had one myself but believe them to be oldish design solid saw,it wont spoil you with luxuary,but should serve well enough. Was that gentle enough, (I cant vouch for the restof them)! Well done getting your tickets.

I will go a fiver,but I dont want any more kids! Or swap for a perfectly good fridge freezer!

Thanks Hamma,i'm off over there in a minute!

Mine were done with stealth ,just move slow(not a problem for me)! and dont cast a shadow on them. I never thought about sticking them in the fridge,thats cheating!

Good point there Hamma,there were warnings issued round here about that.

Nice cricket Monkey-D! Fungus, thats cool,defence systems come in all shapes & tastes!

Thats cool Hamma,I would be quite happy to contribute to such a thread,its a learning process for me,and maybe I should get more targeted with my efforts.

Its all mud & silt round here,I'm envious,but the towel did help ease it!

Fascinating stuff,I got right into that video.

Hot and cold sex After his examination, the doctor said to the elderly man: "You appear to be in good health. Do you have any medical concerns you would like to ask me about?" "In fact, I do." said the old man. "After I have sex, I am usually cold and chilly; and then, after I have sex with her the second time, I am usually hot and sweaty." After examining his elderly wife, the doctor said: "Everything appears to be fine. Do you have any medical concerns that you would like to discuss with me?" The lady replied that she had no questions or concerns The doctor then said to her: "Your husband had an unusual concern. He claims that he is usually cold and chilly after having sex with you the first time and then hot and sweaty after the second time. Do you know why?" *"Oh, that stupid old fart''* she replied. "That's because the first time is usually in January, and the second time is in August

Wow that looks a great place...super pics too,but im not sure about the fishy towel!

Heres another,the tiger striped caterpillar,(I think),this lives on ragwort amongst a few other plants,the toxins dont hurt it,and they are also cannabalistic,even in abundance of food,goes on to become the cinnabar moth. cinnabar moth by geoff321, on Flickr

The Reverend The Reverend John Fluff was the pastor in a small town in Ireland. One day he was walking down the high street when he noticed a young lady of his congregation sitting in a pub drinking beer. The Reverend wasn't happy! He walked through the open door of the pub and sat down next to the woman. "Miss Fitzgerald," he said sternly - "This is no place for a member of my congregation. Why don't you let me take you home?" "Sure!" she said with a slur, obviously very drunk. When Miss Fitzgerald stood up from the bar, she began to weave back and forth. The Reverend realized that she'd had far too much to drink and grabbed her arms to steady her. When he did, they both lost their balance and tumbled to the floor. After a few moments, the Reverend wound up on top of Miss Fitzgerald, her skirt hiked up to her waist. The pub barkeep looked over and said, "Oy mate, we won't have any of that carrying on in this pub." The Reverend looked up at the landlord and said, "But you don't understand. I'm Pastor Fluff." The barkeep said, "Ah well, if you're that far , ye might as well finish."

Nasty,hope he gets better quick,And Lorry your a bad man...but very funny!

Thats foul, I'm gutted for you....far too much of it going on.
