Government subsidised restaurants. This is the latest idea to get disfunctional people to eat well apparently. Being rolled out from next year. Let me see if I can get this link to work: https://www.thecaterer.com/news/government-to-pilot-state-subsidised-restaurants Whatever next? Government sponsored relationships?

Meetings with remarkable trees, the Arbtalk version
Squaredy replied to Steve Bullman's topic in Picture Forum
Every time I come to the Scillies I love the Elms everywhere. Today though I was totally blown away by the Monterey Pines. This is my 12 year old with one, and a remarkable rope swing that has been set up on another.

Well I am not much of a gardener, and only nature can take the credit for these; but the wild strawberries on my site this year are laden with fruit. My dogs were loving these today (right level for miniature dachshunds!). This lot were growing just behind my office.
-
This one is totally lost on me. Maybe someone can explain...?
-
Don’t forget qualifications are not always written. Not everything can be proven in a test environment. If they are the type of organisation that is going to want everything on paper they might not be worth having as customers.

Changing the subject a little, how do you Arbtalkers feel about the de-criminalisation of late abortion? For those who don’t know, the amendment passed yesterday does not allow the UK medical profession to assist in late term abortions; it just allows a mother to order pills by post, and carry out her own abortion at any time before birth. What she does then I have no idea. Take the abortion pill then call an ambulance?

Funny this should come up. Apparently the only reason that Iraq did not have weapons of mass destruction as the west claimed in order to justify the war, is because Israel had taken them out.
-
Well our Prime Minister for one. Look back to the reaction of the government at the beginning of the year on this issue.

And as has already been linked in this thread, finally we can stop being called racist for pointing out that the rape gangs are overwhelmingly Pakistani men. After years of denial this is now acknowledged. In some cases young girls were convicted of child prostitution whilst rapists got off scott free. It makes me ashamed of my country.

The mainstream media tend to portray the Palestinians as the victims. When Hamas slaughtered over a thousand Israelis on 7 October Israel were hardly going to just demand an apology. To be fair ordinary Palestinians are of course the victims, they need to overthrow Hamas and learn to live in peace with their neighbour. Hamas do not want peace - they want to totally destroy Israel. That is what they have said for decades. But the BBC will not tell you this.
-
As I said I don’t condone everything Israel are doing, but it is probably fair to say they take better care of the Palestinians than Hamas. It is Hamas who stop the aid reaching the people in need. Yes, they steal aid from their own people and then accuse Israel of causing famine. They use the aid to fund the war.
-
You do know that the ruling regime in Iran wants to carry on where the Nazis left off don't you? I don't support all Israel are doing, but I struggle to see how anyone could voice support for wiping out all Jews.
-
It looks to me as if reversing lights not working is NOT an MOT failure. I suggest you check, but that is what a quick Google search suggests.
-
Well you can’t see the leaves close enough in the picture to confirm if it is an oak. The general form looks nothing like native UK oak trees. Am I right I’m guessing that this tree is not in the UK?
-
From what I hear there is now a new method of distributing the aid. The Americans are doing it directly. Finally the people who actually are in need of food may actually get it. I find it difficult to criticise the Israeli government for not allowing aid through knowing that it was not distributed by Hamas but sold to raise money to fund the war. Why should Israel go to lengths to look after the Palestinian people when their own government don’t?
-
Whilst your suggestion is probably unnecessarily harsh, I suspect the majority of people now finally agree with you in principle. What used to really annoy me when the wife and I watched the BBC or ITV news (we no longer bother with main-stream media) was that no-one ever said ‘But they are coming from France’. We were expected to buy the narrative that they were escaping persecution and war. What a stupid thing to do: cross a dangerous busy shipping lane in a totally unsuitable boat. No wonder the government at one point wondered whether they could just ‘push them back’.

Lucky dogs! I like that you got the butchers block to use as a butchers block! They usually get turned into a trendy island these days from what I gather.
-
It’s beech. The medullary rays are what I wanted to look for. I trust you also will be having some of the muntjac?
-
It does look like beech, but if you get a sharp really close image it will be easier to tell.
-
Thank you for that. By all means keep me posted of the winter thinning, but it is only going to work if a lorry load can be made up, and even then I would have to see pictures to assess the quality.
-
OK great, thank you.
-
Many and varied. Alder is very pretty timber if allowed to spalt a little. Lime is mainly used by carvers. Beech has all sorts of uses, all small scale and indoor.
-
Well you could always work out a price for logs including haulage, see if it sounds feasible. I guess from there everywhere will be a fair old treck?! My yard is near to Usk. Or did you already have someone lined up for the sawlogs?
-
Ah so it is. Looks lovely doesn't it?
-
No; quite wrong. Refer to Common law - Wikipedia EN.WIKIPEDIA.ORG Common law is a vast and ever increasing body of law that is also referred to as "judge-made law".
