The thick bastard is now in his bed licking at the bandage he pulled off last night as opposed to the new one on his foot. I'll remember that the next time I credit him for being intelligent. 

Bastard chewed the fix off overnight. Take two with the strips. Did a slightly neater job this time. The secret is doing one end and letting it dry so you can get good tension pulling the wound together.

I'm quite enjoying this. Not in a cvnnty Munchausen by proxy kind of way but like when you do a good job of fixing anything yourself. A mate bitched at me for not calling an ambulance, rushing to the vets etc. I'm an irresponsbible bastard not laying on professional care etc. He's a competitively frivolous consumer. Doesn't fix anything himself. Reaches for an external solution (usually expensive) for just about any problem. I got fed up talking to him about it but in the fullness of time I'll point out that perhaps taking on a dog with no ability to fix it yourself if vets aren't available is actually the act of the irresponsible.

Chase & Status - BOILER ROOM

We joined forces with legendary Chase & Status to head up one of our Boiler Room London after-parties.

 

 

 

A friend's facebook story had some smashing jungle by them earlier. 

Yeah. That sort of thing. 

Is there a name for espaliers that don't run along walls? Just knitted together out there in the breeze.

To death.

Anyone who owns a Nespresso machine should be put to death.

I know a couple of people who go round in vans offering 'lawn care', get one of them in monthly. They spray and spike and treat and weed all in the name of green perfection.

 

Personally I find it all a bit confusing, no real need to cut the grass till we start losing the dog and we've got a lab.

You know the gypsy patter about how it's a theological imperative to con gorjas? I'm bang behind it for this lawn care bollocks. The competitively vacuous like Doug's mate and my mate, who is exactly the same frankly deserve to have their pockets emptied for magic beans.

Yeah. The gin. Apply nightly.  

Cherry regrowth (if you prune it aggressively) goes off in aesthetically unpleasing directions.

Man plans, god laughs.

If it's not a problem, it's not a problem. 

For crying out loud. 

That's the sort of thing we were trying to convince @Donnie to get.

He's been pretty good with it. Picked the bandage off the first night (pre-fix) but hasn't since. He alternatively tested the strenth of the fix when it was only an hour or two on by accelerating like a drag car at a cat when I let him out for a piss. Will see how it fared later this morning. 

Rock solid. Bosh.

Depends if he starts ‘worrying’ it.

Some dogs do, some don’t.

He's not that useful. Also frankly a liability when you're swinging hand tools.

Haven't had a wages thread for a few weeks have we. 

The philosophical dangers of cheapening the status of genius aside, I'm a genius. Sailor cut a pad, probably romping through the broken glass that is the style around here. Wanted to press the flappy bit of pad back to the paw so it can bond back to the gristle (weird stuff...) underneath. Stitches generally not advised and would have probably required knocking him out. Pressing it in with a tight bandage and a stiff block of wadding was working but the flap would pop back off when I went in to disinfect. Ended up borrowing technique from composite repair. Instead of fibreglass cloth, steristrips. Instead of resin, superglue. The first one I settled for a rather baggy one but the rest of them I got fairly good tension on and started knitting it all into place. I reckon I've bally done it. Should be robust and waterproof enough to inspect and spritz with disinfectant. Updates as they occur. 

What's arb work like in Bangladesh?

Agree with that. To begin with I looked for the 'perfect' starter but now I'm a bit more random about it. Quite liked moist though.

In stark contrast to don monstering massive tonnages of trees to death eight days a week, I've recently been very much enjoying little gardening oddments. First time stump grinding in about fifteen years today. Lovely little machine with new teeth and had the staff chasing roots out. 

So legal fags are good quality but illegal ones can be bad. Have you got any ideas how bad quality other drugs could be replaced with good quality ones?

Target market... who exactly? 

Those who arguably should be forbidden by the Mental Health Acts to spend their own money anyway. And the Chelsea flower show. 

Just the transport of this sort of utter bollocks is shameful. That diesel could run ten nurses to work. 

Far from free. It cost me £691k.

"Really just something skinny and tall with a bit of green is what we're thinking as the mid level will be blocked by the plants."

 

Unless he fancies a line of lombardy poplar of course.

Yew way too slow.

Could be 5m. Could be less. Probably not more. As long as you can get a ladder to the top knuckle, it's sustainable IF you stay on top of it.

He can brash up to fence height himself and have lovely scented fronds for around the house.
