  1. 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.
  2. Mea culpa.
  3. I can not ignore this any longer. The title, Who knows there Latin? Surely it should be their Latin? m
  4. 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.
  5. Well since every time she looks in the mirror, she sees a bullshitter, she sure should be well ahead in recognising another one!
  6. 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.
  7. So youse lot are why our never been claimed on in 40 years household insurance premiums are so unreasonably high! Just saying like!
  8. 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
  9. Now THAT is a very good suggestion.
  10. 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!
  11. Some people were too long overdue a good "dumping on" would be my answer to that question.
  12. 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.
  13. You bin listening to that rather erudite bellend Bercow again.
  14. The only thing wrong with that, is pride.
  15. When you say nature crime, I instantly think of Diane Abbot. Could someone explain why?
  16. Ere! JRM has very correctly banned the use of mangled Labour/Liberal/BBC-speak jargon, like "impact/impacted" instead of affect/affected and also the indiscriminate use of lazy adjectives like "very". I do suppose he would also abhor the not uncommon use of such phrases as "hot temperatures" and indeed, "babies" being used to describe the young of species other than humans, etc. etc. Bring it on! I say! What!, what!
  17. See, now you really pissed me off, like me NOT being Irish an all, being unable to; (i) Drink enough Guinness, then drive home. (ii)Gamble the family income away. (ii)Start pub brawls. etc etc etc P.S. Funny enough I am not money orientated, as in I drive a 9 year old car and I have allowed reasonably good agricultural land, about 17 acres, to revert to nature since 1995, also I am currently unemployed when I could be out earning even more money. And how come so many of your people with their "fulfilled" lives, are demanding "the rich" be punatively taxed, like why do your people need "our" money then, a bit of a conunderum is that not? I mean if money is so unimportant an all.
  18. I saw an absolute rickle of a twin axle trailer leaving a local premix yard, quite recent too, with three very dodgy looking and underinflated tyres , plus one hub scraping the ground, i.e. there was no fourth tyre. Just outside the yard there are quite vicious speed bumps. Mind you it didnt look much over, going on for, a m3 of premix on I did wonder . . .
  19. Eggs, I have no idea, nor did I know much about Boris, except I liked him better than most other politicans, until this evenings programme, but to get a Scholarship to Eaton, and then be Head Boy, followed by getting into Oxford and then being voted of the President Oxford Debating Society, all while shagging rings round oneself. Takes quite some doing. P.S. Mull We are all different, 'cept I dont resent those who are (i) more intelligent, (ii) more athletic, (iii)more confident (iv) more popular, and more successful than I was or ever could be. P.S. He has possibly also got a bigger willy, now I could well be envious of that particular injustice.
  20. Well having just watched a documentary about Boris, from his birth until 2016. He certainly cannot be accused of being a nancy boy or posh poofter, by those who like to sling such accusations about. Well by anyone actually!
  21. I am thinking of the heavy foil faced "plasterboard", edged with aluminium angle or "U" section to prevent crumbling. Or 2 sheets of the same held 50mm/75mm/100mm apart in a light frame so as to be self supporting, and with a generous air gap at the bottom to encourage convection heat transfer/cooling. (i) Keep it Simple Then; (ii) "suck it and see" A smell burning should give one sufficient warning of any possible impending combustion. Regards, Marcus
  22. Ah! but the cyclists rely on the cars and trucks to keep the blacktop clean and smooth for them, but I presume in the eyes of the Lycra clad lot, we should be doing that through the hours of darkness.
  23. Who cant even lace their own boots . . .
