That's what I thought too
-
Most farms had an old boy living in a shed as I remember. Either Irish or shell shock victim and usually bent double from work. Town kids were always small and skinny because they were short of food. At 14 I was bigger than most of the 16 year olds out of the town, I'm not big by any means. When I ventured down south in later years I felt like a dwarf compared to most. I guess they had even more food down there. Lots of the above and I still don't have a tumble drier, Hell my Mum has only stopped hanging her washing on the hedge in recent years.

Just more nonsense! This carp is depressing and it is getting worse.

Noticed that on my driving licence yesterday, mine is amber too. Haven't done a cpc and don't intend to so it must be summat else. Mine has a class 1 on it.

It isn't natural for so many of us to have cats though is it. When I do unnatural things such as fly in a plane I get taxed for the damage I am doing to the environment, maybe the same should apply to cat ownership.

I wasn't criticising, DV Fuels are good people and I too would recommend them.

"One day the wind will change and your face will stick like that!" Usually said to children that are pulling faces. A week or so ago I noticed that the wind had indeed changed direction, It had been coming from the NW and changed to the SE. I commented to my missus that the wind had changed direction. "Humph!" she said. "My face didn't bloody well stick after all did it!!" I seriously think she had been believing me. (she is proper blonde!)

Vertical for big rings, horizontal for anything up to 15" diameter or so. I have both and that is my conclusion.

My next guess would have been phytophthora. Only chemical i can think of would be if you could lay your hands on some Aliette, you wouldn't need much.

It's a funny old world when a guy in the Highlands is advising a bloke in Cornwall to buy ibc cages off a firm up a mountain in North Wales. So much for local business

Train weight is 5200kg and the gross on my single wheel Cabstar is 3200kg according to the vin plate.

I don't ache too much, can do more work than most that are half my age, have more money than ever before in my life and get to spend all of it on me. What is there to moan about?

I know it's not hornets but this would freak me! BBC News - Winchester woman finds 3ft wasp nest on bed

I have been wondering what a greene nipple is all morning. Thought they must be colour coded on modern machinery or summat

These are ×Cupressocyparis leylandii, or at least that was their latin name when I was at college so it may well be changed by now. I believe they are Haggerston but there was another one whose name escapes me right now, something Green IIRC. Leyland cypress - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Some pics I took today. Top bit is 3m long 70cm diameter at the end you can see. Planted 40 years ago as a windbreak. We have miles of them!

Can you read Microsoft documents with those apps then?

Have grown a lot in single rows as windbreaks, in these situations they are pretty much fully furnished with foliage. They grow fast and put on a decent amount of timber, how they compare to other varieties I don't know. Have also grown quite a few solid blocks of it for various reasons, and as Skyhuck says it is pretty spindly and thin. Good for fence posts kind of spindly. Interestingly we have used some for posts, simply cut them down and sharpened one end. They lasted better than the peeled and treated commercially available posts.

I live in a big old draughty 6 bed farmhouse and heating, cooking and hot water is all supplied by burning leylandii and has been for decades. Chimney in my living room has never been swept that I know of and I've lived here 40 years and it doesn't need sweeping either. Key to avoiding the sap is to stack it outside for 2-3 years before cutting and splitting, won't be any sap if you can do that. Only downside is the sap.

Also gave web address which shows prices.

measure in cm length x width x height then divide by 1,000,000 for cubic metres About 6 cubic metres at a guess.

Seriously? I have acres of them!

It could be vine weevil eating the roots. Tip the compost out of a dead one and see if there's owt crawling around in there. Vine weevil grubs are easy to spot, they are plenty big enough to see. Try google for images.

An hour in a riding school and I would be ready for a lie down too.
