230V * 11A = 2530W Whatever happened to the 3 bar 3kW electric fire btw? Or am I misremembering from when it was 240V = 12.5A for 3kW.

So iffen this reservoir was created to supply the canal, it got nowt to do with farming practices this last couple o hundred o years or so then Kevin. cough cough.

The angel/angle had fallen!

Who?

What is the breeding in this fine looking animal? I really like the brindle coat, never mind the intelligent looking eyes.

An there was me looking at the first image and thinking to myself, that does not look too wet. P.S. Nice wide tracks on the digger.

Bollcocks! Latin may well have been the written language, but remember French was up there too for written stuff(& early British passports too?), and for fucks sake Anglo Saxon was the spoken one. P.S. I always liked the irony of English being the lingua franca for business Worldwide.

Gimlet, that was one aspect of working for the Council that I loathed, fucking acres and acres and acres of meadowland along a river that absolutely had to be kept cut, when understaffed as we were, we not cope with grass elsewhere that really needed cutting. The residents that overlooked it made statements like "that untidy", "that's full of rats", "my wee Jonny got stung by a nettle", "those brambles will take a childs eye out" etc etc etc, and the useless Amenities Officer ALWAYS caved in, despite any previous promises to me. Until the movement to "Don't mow, let it grow took hold", but did any blaggart say that Marcus had been saying that all along, Oh No, this was a "new idea" brought in by the "Eco Diversity Officer"(or somesuch overpaid job title) who was appointed to oversee such important stuff. Who was actually a sound enough lassie, but talk about money for old rope. Am I glad to be retired!

As in our front "Avenue" is fair hooching with insects and birdlife, see image for the reason why. I had intended keeping the verges cut, but on reflection . . .

I hope this is my first survivor of Ash dieback, the leader shoot and the 2 side shoots died last year, and I thought it was a goner, it was certainly slow to come in the Spring/early Summer, but just today I observed that it appears to have bounced back, with several vigorous 4 foot long new seasons growth. I say that simply because none of the other affected trees have shown any sign of recovery like this one has.

Mea culpa.

I can not ignore this any longer. The title, Who knows there Latin? Surely it should be their Latin? m

Meh!, I for one share some/most of his views of some/most of the Liverpudlians and their whiney victimhooditis, never mind the appalling way they speak. And enough already of the apologising to everybody for everything.

Well since every time she looks in the mirror, she sees a bullshitter, she sure should be well ahead in recognising another one!

No!, no! Its like when one scrapes through on the last of the Amber, thinking one was really pushing ones luck there, and realizes another 3 to 5 cars are following behind. OBVIOUSLEY having run a blatent RED! Scoundrels that they are. Right, back to my Halo polishing, before I attempt to rewire my bodged(& by me years ago) consumer unit. EDIT Well Goodness Gracious Me! I succeeded in correctly rewiring the RCCD thingamabob within our consumer unit, which I had disconnected and bypassed to get the sockets to work one night when they kept tripping and I found water dripping from the underside of the consumer unit, the water was dripping because the flashing to the new flat roof directly above was bolloxed. Professional builders huh! Then I kinda forgot about my work-a-round, and when I did remember, years later, I had forgotton how or what I had disconnected . Doh! Some Guinness shall be my reward.

So youse lot are why our never been claimed on in 40 years household insurance premiums are so unreasonably high! Just saying like!

Eggs, I did say "mostly". As in I knew a brother and sister; Alf left Cavan aged 16 or 17 and went to Australia, but when he came home after 50 or 60 years away, one would have sworn that he had never left Cavan. On the other hand, his sister Joyce, moved up to NI from Cavan, lived local here all her life, but after spending a week in England visiting relatives near Birmingham, came back with a Brummie dialect. The difference was quite astounding. So, "mostly". cheers m

Now THAT is a very good suggestion.

Absolute bollocks to that idea Stere, I do not conflate intelligence, dialect and education. They are three quite separate things, and in no way connected. As in one can be intelligent and uneducated, or educated but unintelligent, and how one speaks is merely a result of where one was born, mostly. JRM and Boris were from birth both searingly intelligent, highly motivated, and are now definitively intellectual, due in no small part to their superlative Eaton education. Tough!

Some people were too long overdue a good "dumping on" would be my answer to that question.

Hmm, I read some of his "ideas" and fear he is all about bright intoxicating new ideas, so now, just lets rapidly move onto the next intoxicating new idea, while blithely ignoring the fiasco our last new idea turned out to be.

Indeed!

You bin listening to that rather erudite bellend Bercow again.

The only thing wrong with that, is pride.
