What about Kryptonite?
-
Very kind words Felix thank you:thumbup: I am completely fine. Over the years I have found coping mechanisms, primarily the aforementioned mindfulness meditation and the depression no longer defines me as it did in the past. Just wanted to show some solidarity with TCD and others. It is an insidious disease as it robs you of the will to fight it, but fight it you can and over time pummel it into insignificance.

Not aware of that, I'll check it out:thumbup:

I have battled with chronic depression (dysthymia) for the best part of 20 years. I find mindfulness meditation a huge help, it gives you the mental space and perspective to carry on. Mindfulness is becoming more and more recognised and there are plenty of books you can read. The one I have found most useful is 'The Happiness Trap' by a chap called Russ Harris. Best of luck TCD. Don't let it beat you:001_smile:

Great Match, very exciting!

I'm often told you're not supposed to let them run dry but I do every fill, and my main use saw (346xp) is still going strong after 6 years.

Fair enough I suppose. It was a fairly polished performance until you had to hobble off with that single red rose stuck between your cheeks!
-
Well, that wasn't quite what I bargained for! Mrs Idiot is demanding a full refund, and I'm off to scrub myself down with caustic soda. The nipple tassels were splendid but please Mark, for the good of mankind, stick to the tree surgery.

No woodland critters I'm afraid Shavey, they all got rained off. Still managing a great party though! E.T. made the journey, along with Jimi Hendrix, Papa Smurf, Pol Pot, Evel Knievel, Captain Caveman and Barry from the chuckle brothers. Mrs Idiot has arranged some cabaret, 'Bolam's Burlesque'. Never heard of them myself but hopefully she's a cutie:thumbup:

SNAP! They've also very kindly lent me a petrol one to keep me going in the meantime:001_smile:

Three Toed Hornblowers. Foul little midgets. Caught one openly defecating in my delphiniums yesterday. Needless to say his bearded bonce now adornes my bed post.

That's a good idea Kevin, but I would worry that a cross party committee would only be capable of agreeing on something pretty tame and wishy washy when what we need is a bold , far reaching directive.

Thanks Ti:thumbup:

Huzzah!!! Best day of the year today, the Idiots birthday! Fry up, presents, dwarf massacre, birthday cake, bed. Bliss:001_smile:

It's not sentimentality, it's an attempt to show that there are other ways to do things, which might just mean we don't consume ourselves off our own and only planet. The relentless pursuit of economic growth above all else is delusional, dangerous and selfish. Corbyn does not have all the answers but at least he cares. If things are left to carry on as they are because it suits us we are doomed. Doomed I tell thee!

How about: ALL AT SEA WITH YOUR GARDEN? PREVIOUS WORKS A BIT FISHY? CALL 'THE TREE STURGEON'! GUARANTEED TO TRANSFORM THE PLAICE!
-
How about: NOW YOU LOOK LIKE SOMEONE IN NEED OF SOME SURGERY!
-
How about: SHE WANTED NOTHING.. AND I DELIVERED! Not very arb related, but my favourite lyric from a song.

Regrettably not it would seem. Someone posted earlier of David Cameron that at least he is running the country as a business! That is seriously scary. The majority of people's thoughts on the economy are like their thoughts on the environment. They think better equality and environmental protection is a good thing, but if it means (as it must) that their wealth or comfort may in any way be compromised they start clucking like a load of self righteous hens.
-
Yes, I think it is unfortunate that he has been 'whipped' into line by his party. The parliamentary Labour party is not yet ready to engage with a guy who genuinely wants to change the cloying status quo.
-
Well said Felix, Corbyn makes no secret of the fact that he is a republican and not a God botherer. It would be a bit weird for him to belt out God Save The Queen. I agree that he paid his respects in a different way.

Ah! It was you was it Felix, between me and the guy rustling further down. Splendid bush that, one of my all-time favourites.

I got taken to the wrestling at Wembley arena a couple of years ago. Hulk Hogan was there, lurching around half crippled with arthritis. I expected the audience to be 90% kids with a smattering of dads, but in fact it was 90% adult males and they were really really into it! I also went to the amateur wrestling at Ipswich corn exchange. I don't think I have ever laughed so much in my life:001_smile: Nobody else seemed to find it amusing though. It was a tad embarrassing.

How about a second hand squirrel?
