  1. you've said you went to Uni - so how does that happen without a state? - Who pays for it if we can't starve illegal miners to protect tax revenues?
  2. my first step would be trying to suss out how to best kill a mature plant with chemicals, maybe eco plugs drilled in near the base? Would it not be quicker to leave them standing until dead and go through and poison as many as funds permit, so they don't set anymore seed? Edit - always best to google before posting a question, seems it's not the silver bullet I was imagining Efficacy of Ecoplugs on RhododendronControl is likely to be as good as, but no better than, conventional sprays of liquid glyphosate, and in both cases, repeat visits to control regrowth will almost certainly still be required.
  3. at least it's not a triffid UK’s first glyphosate-resistant weed found on Kent farm | Herbicides | The Guardian WWW.THEGUARDIAN.COM Scientist says case is warning for farmers to reduce reliance on controversial and common herbicide
  4. I was joking of course, but like this
  5. if there is no restriction on height on the trailer it would be feasible (although not necessarily plausible to drive the loader on top of the chipper on ramps like on a car transporter
  6. Billionaire entrepreneur Mark Cuban has taken a subtle yet sharp swipe at Tesla CEO Elon Musk over his call for more uplifting content on X, formerly known as Twitter. Musk, who owns the platform, tweeted on Sunday: “Please post a bit more positive, beautiful or informative content on this platform.” In response, Cuban retorted with a succinct “You first,” leaving users chuckling at the pointed jab.
  7. hopefully when the cash bungs reach a critical mass, Reform can set up a naval blockade and buy up some Kent farmland to build a new airport - straight out of the water and onto the plane, no processing required. But what about those who deliberately throw their passports away? Maybe a roullette wheel divided into a few suitable holding territories. The second coming of Christ may never happen, but Nigel is real and already here. He can lead us out of the darkness, for the bargain price of £25
  8. there's only one person who can stop them - it's no coincidence the initials of Nigel Farage and National Front are the same
  9. that's what I thought if you could find one cheap enough and do away with tracks, or if possible look at one and see how they made hopper removable, would mean making up electrical connectors etc
  10. the old TW150VTR tracked machines had a removable hopper, for narrow access, an arrangement like that would make it shorter in the trailer
  11. ^ quite a funny clip, agro going on and misidentification x.com X.COM
  12. that one on streetview looks like a series of crown lifts over the years too - to keep it growing in too small a spot, making it top heavy
  13. pure speculation - but the one in the photo above with its bottom wide low branches intact - they are the widest part of the canopy and could act as a counterweight in gales
  14. no idea about the effects of thinning on windthrow, but I wanted to find a picture of a nice mature specimen for comparison with the one above that had been worked on, maybe the one in my picture has had work over the years, but it is the right tree in the right place - i.e. had room to achieve its natural shape
  15. so a saw that you don't need ear defenders or earplugs to use - and makes no fumes - suitable for indoor tree felling
  16. just use immigrant builders to build homes for yet more immigrants
  17. a mistake a few people have made, myself included, when going from breaker bars to impact wrench pick the machine up for a rush job, in my case whizzing off the bolts on a rusted through leaking diff pan, without checking the bloody direction the machine was set to - 50% chance of it being right and 50% chance of shearing the head off a bolt
  18. is it too time consuming to use an endless ratchet strap as insurance to stop it slabbing up and twatting you?
  19. this is why there is a problem with immigration - the author of the above quote is similar to a substantial part of the electorate and similar to many of the current pool of politicians of both major parties.
  20. you say to yourself 'f'@k the council' I'm going direct to head office 3. How and when do I appeal? Your appeal should be made on the relevant TPO (consents) appeal form obtained from PINS.

When using a word version where possible please can you save the copy as a PDF before returning to us Forms should be returned to us electronically by e-mail to: [email protected].

  21. if you still haven't heard after 8 weeks, apparently you can appeal it 2.1 Grounds of appeal An appeal against a Council’s decision may be brought against any of the following: the council’s refusal of consent any condition attached to the council’s consent the council’s refusal/failure to notify the applicant of their decision within 8 weeks from the date they received the application, (in these circumstances the application is deemed to have been refused)
  22. it sickens me, but I have resigned myself to thinking it's all just part of nature, these primate critters love a bit of overcrowding Yet one reason the UK needs more homes is that the population is rising – in large part due to high levels of net migration. In the past two years, net migration has been equivalent to the combined populations of Liverpool and Sheffield. That is going to make the housing crisis worse, as well as putting added strain on public services. If the OBR is correct, by the end of this parliament migration will have boosted the UK’s population by 4 million in just eight years.
  23. although possibly Russia will be able to redeploy some of what assets and manpower they had in Syria to Ukraine
  24. that's never stopped people having a flutter though Assad out as President of Syria by March 31, 2025? POLYMARKET.COM Polymarket | This market will resolve to "Yes" if Syria's president, Bashar al-Assad, is removed from power for any length of time between December 1, 2024, and March 31...
  25. not so much wow factor as a moon landing, or deep ocean exploration, but the use of computing (AI) to predict protein structures and forecast the weather
