Was there much rioting and looting when Lee Rigby was murdered? On the simple grounds that he was well racially different from his murderers. So, like, racism innit, right?

No we fornicating dont mate.

I presumed he was, but hey, at least in that respect he was absolutely correct. But it might be another one, but I figure heads of MI6 stay in post for many many years. So very few retired ones likely to be still alive at any given time.
-
This one puzzles me, is the former head of MI6 simply shit-stirring to settle old scores, or is he misinformed or deluded(highly unlikely) Marcus

Hot weather(bit early this year mind) an certain sectors of society gotta find some excuse to riot.

I took a walk through the Ash I planted 10 to 15 years ago, only a few dozen of them, spaced about 3m apart, and was tickled by the beautiful clean straight smooth boles, up to 200mm dia, to about 3m high. I had idily pruned them a couple of times in the intervening years, more to stop branches slapping me in the face when walking, but it must be said also curiosity as to the difference it would make to the form of the grown trees. I was quite pleased with the results. Twill be a wile pity to lose them to Ash dieback, but hey-ho. Marcus

So as a Welsh citizen, who lives 2 miles from the border with England, pop over the border, drive 260 miles and then 2 miles into Wales, before returning by the same route. And then say; Hey I only drove 4 miles!

What about briquettes, against kiln dried; https://www.firewoodandlogs.co.uk/wood-briquettes/44-79-ecofire-superflare-premium-fuel-logs.html#/36-bags-20kg_bag -

Despite using a chainsaw for 45 years without ear protection, I have longtime been a big fan of Eliane as well.

And yet, when I fitted seat rails from a VW Sharan, so that I could use the 2 otherwise unused seats from the Ford Galaxy, into OUR Steyr Puch Van, I took it down to the DVLA in Coleraine and "fessed up" a woman came out, looked at it in the car park, and happliy taxed it a PLG. But that was 15+ years ago.

I have wondered at how they "get away" with washing their ponies down in the pristine stream at Appleby, using plenty of bog-off detegerent, and nary a word said about the Environment or pollution. This information From a widely publisised image.

Prison perhaps?

Did they indeed even know who they sold it too, though I appreciate quite a few landowners will possibly be swayed by a large brown envelope full of undeclared cash. But still everyone is supposed to be trweated the same in the eyes of the law.

Bloody 'ell, never mind the air dried vis-a-vis kiln dried conundrum, look at the astounding value the softwood is in comparison to the hardwood! ah fink leastwise.

Wot! like the parents of Eton pupils will ensure that the education of their children takes priority over their online gambling, smoking chip eating, couch surfing and vodka guzzling habits. Per another headline shrieking about the injustices of the middle class school children getting an unfair advantage during their extended absence from School, simply because their parents care about their childrens education, and ensure they participate in the distance learning provided. Like wot the oiks dont. But: "Its not fair" they shriek. FFS!

Gents, Twas a headline I read, about parents "demanding" a vaxxine, before they allow their little darling to return to their Schools. and my instant thought was could it be that a percentage of these self-same demanding parents were also fervent anti-vaxxers. Anyway I thought I would take the opportunity to get in on the fake news business. Cheers, Marcus P.S. I guarentee their is a grain of truth in my thoughts.
-
For their children before they will allow them to return to Schools. Can this be true?
-
Anyway my air dried wood is coming out of the shed at 15%, so there is that, so why would I pay for wetter kiln dried stuff?

Safe enough to say now, but last spring, during a very hot dry spell, I lit a bonfire some 15m upwind and South of my log pile which had been toasting in the Sun for some days after a prolonged dry spell. I was watching keenly with the hose ready once I saw both the bonfire flames and the wind pick up. A very rotten conifer stump, sitting positively toasty in the strong Sun, was easily kindled by a spark carried on the wind, I then misted the area with the hose and kept an eye on it till dark. Frightening how easy a fire is to start when stuff is truely dry. Marcus

Lies, dammned lies, and statistics! Which specially as said statistics are being bandied about by professional liars, aka Politicans, does leave one mare than a touch disbelieving.

And the problem is . . . Nature dont give a flying fornication . . . Not that I approve of such actions.

In our new build, I installed a small steel plate below the wood stove, with a suspended oak floor beneath that, probably NOT to approved specifications, but 25 years later all I got is the odd scorch mark on the oak flooring, where I was a tad(alcohol induced) slow in lifting glowing embers. N.B. The wood stove is relatively long legged, so I had no concerns about excessivly downward heat.

Wor daughter told the mother that people need to be fit to survive being put on a ventilator, I imagine the panic about needing ventilators simply because(some of) the infected could not breath will prove to have been a must-be-seen-to-do-something reaction, rather than a truely measured clinical decision. By that I mean they imagined it could do no harm, but actually there are now some doubts as to whether the ventilator may have made things worse, for some at least? Which is why so many died, anyway, after the ventilator merely prolonged their agony. Btw, speaking with a cousin who was relating about a local bloke in his 40's, and fit, hard working and thin, he spent a couple of weeks couch bound with Covis19, anyway he said the recovery was brutally tough, with even taking a shower feeling like a hard days work. So many unknowns, variables, confusion and hysteria.

You spoil that woman . . .
