  1. it's not just a handful of spuggies it's all types of birds and thousands each day even if one turbine accounted for one bird each day its a hell of a lot
  2. Wind turbines are not that great for the environment as they are killing thousands of birds both on and offshore. a hypothetical question if everyone goes onto ground source heat pumps will it start cooling the earth?
  3. and they used to move the aircraft and trucks (dummies) around so it looked more realistic if they were photo'd regularly.
  4. i was expecting something better it was a strong breeze not a gale plus it had a safety rope as well
  5. BENCHMARK HEIGHT ABOVE SEA LEVEL
  6. good morning every the trouble is i have not gone to bed yet. i think most of you will be up before me
  7. what has he got growing in his garden? Has he had a survey of his drains, camera down the pipe you can request to see the video how far the trees are away from his drain. And how deep are the pipes
  8. you can get a pill for that but it wont cure you
  9. these workers are getting paid at least the minimum wage plus bonuses accommodation on site spend little of their wages in the Nabour hood so they are not on penne's in the pound. if they are getting bussed in there will be a gang Marster who no doubt be taking a cut of there wages and transport costs
  10. no it was in my garden seemed to be coming away from my hollyhocks half a hour later i could not find it.
  11. think this is a Halk moth caterpillar.
  12. some of them are damaged by maggot have you cut them open to see if they are inside.
  13. as spud says, it might be a bearing that has collapsed or something that is jamming the roller i had a roller mower given once it would start and run OK but when you engaged the drive it would stall it turned out to be a dead frog jammed in the roller
  14. plumb duff, crumble, eves pudding using plumbs instead of apples. Freeze some for later use. plumb torte. cake, muffins, bread, chutney, plumb gin, vodka, whisky. cobbler, sauce, will go with duck. Pork and salmon. Christmas pudding, plumb ice-cream.
  15. did you see where the n grid has applied for planning to put a underwater cable from Drax down the Ouse to the North Sea don't know why it might have some connection to the sola farm that's proposed nearby?
  16. where do i start? dogger bank wind farm laying cabled now to just south of Bridlington. they are stopping private landowners from putting up turbines on their land. thermal heat pumps cost more to run than gas boilers and will not produce the same heat. smart meters can be shut off by the supplier remotely. importing wood pellets from America and Canada and will not use any of the waist from Uk tree surgeons which must be thousands of tons per year. solar panels are about spent by the time they have paid for themselves. the last figures I heard was the UK produced 1%of the global greenhouse gas that causes global heating so if we went 0% it would not make a shit of difference. Thay blame the car drivers and coal and wood burners never mention the military conflicts that have gone on for years around the globe. then all the people flying away on there holls the airlines planting trees to offset their carbon footprint then beavers are interduce which fell more trees than are being planted its late now off to bed
  17. just traded in my pathfinder for a x trail the thing bleeps when you are pulling into a spot in a car park if there is a car at the side, when i first drove it i was spending too much time looking at the displays than watching where I was going it has reversing camera on when you put it into reverse but i just use the mirrors. its a 1600 and seems to be a bit under powered compared to the pathfinder so you are having to use the gears a lot more then the mpg suffers, i seem to be getting only 10 mpg more.
  18. i do believe that thousands of them saplings died through lack of water
  19. HSE never state a pacific value on anything it's always a broad vague figure I think it's so they have a better chance if something goes to court.
  20. i remember years ago there was footage from a police helicopter thermal Camara tracking a supposedly big cat that suddenly disappeared on them the next day foot officers checking the location could not find any tracks or pipes where it disappeared
  21. quite a few years ago one of the properties i looked after in the bonfire heap was a large paw print much bigger than a Alsatian then a few weeks later i was taking to the local game keepers and he reckoned he was stalked by something one night in the dark and had to walk backwards to his truck but he could not see what it was.
  22. the way England are playing this ashes test match is more like 100 overs match which makes it more entertaining, and the Aussies don't seem to have an answer with the team they have but an Earley deceleration in the first match and rain stop play at Manchester they will not get the ashes.
  23. souffles, Marang, lemon Marang pie, angle cakes, macaroons, egg nogg colada you can drink the sherry ore use it in a meat pie
  24. always find thorn reacts like a firework when you open the door to reload. i like Burch but anythin if its free
