  1. The remarkable thing is that Sammy seemed quite unfazed by the shock and after being launched into the holly, lands on the ground and starts calmly eating nuts again. Must be squirrel shock therapy!
  2. Sammy Squirrel is learning not to nick the bird food. Had a good belt this morning!
  3. You must have a lot better eyes than me then
  4. You must have a lot better eyes than me then
  5. Looks like they were lopping the overhead branches
  6. The world seems in tune when you listen to Tom Lehrer still alive at 93 years
  7. I really cannot see what you are talking about. The first four cones are to protect the lights and signs and then they continue for several hundred yards but I guess you never noticed that? We have just had several heavy showers to account for the water. The cones go on for several hundred yards and there is a gap in them to let vehicles in. So the reason they are there is to protect a workforce rather than shield a pothole or water. No Workforce so no need for the cones overnight or when the workforce is away.
  8. Another one this morning, held me and several cars up for ages with nothing happening, no potholes, no workforce, just people too lazy to move the cones for the night and turn the lights off. Straight bit of road too. I imagine this is the case all around the country with thousands of vehicles needlessly held up with their engines idling. Makes a mockery of trying to keep emissions down.
  9. How close can the defenders be to the goal when the penalty is taken? They must all be aware of the potential for the ball to go loose but I do not recall a rush of Danish defenders rushing in to try and save the day
  10. Totally agree with you about Pickford every kick seemed to go out or to the Danes. The penalty was not at all as obvious as other decisions where there was no doubt. However, good to see that there is now a video judgement but I would be interested to know the line up on that video panel. It also seems unfair that the Danish goalie did such a fantastic save only to give away a chance for a second shot which does not happen in the penalty shoot outs, how did this rule develop?
  11. All right for you my wife is Danish and I was looking forward to a good night in after the first goal, now it is a bad night out in the garage locked in the car for my own safety!
  12. I reckon we've had about 10 cars end up in the middle of our sites because they said, we thought they were stuck on red. Fixed traffic lights at junctions no bother. Temporary.... Nearly classed as invisible as stop go boards. But I do take the greatest enjoyment of making them back up out of the site and then let the other direction go first to make the point. Makes a rainy wet cold winters day a little bit more enjoyable doing that. You cannot do much about complete stupidity
  13. All these signs are moronic
  14. But why should those people take any more notice of a sign then a red light? Probably cannot read anyway I
  15. He’s back! I was prepared! Cattle electric fencer with the live to the cage and the earth to the silver metal strip below I was hoping he would be curious about that! Has not been back! Birdies all safe as they are not big enough to complete the circuit
  16. Doesn’t any driver know in any language that if you come across a set of traffic lights which are red, you do not go until they are green. What difference does it make if they are temporary, three way , ten way, railway crossing or the one next to your wife’s pillow!
  17. Could not believe anyone would put this sign up under a traffic light! ‘Elf and safety gawn mad?
  18. This lady has had a rough start to life under Islam and has been very courageous. It is an hour long video but worth watching She makes a valid point about the mainstream media’s emphasis on the Floyd case as opposed to the beheading of Samuel Pati as well as the teacher here in the Uk frightened for his life by Muslims. Start at 22 minutes if you are in a hurry The beheading of Pati should have had more coverage but we hear nothing now.
  19. Leo could only have come out of Norway!
  20. I see that Chauvin has been sentenced to 22.5 years whereas the Tony Timpa cops were let off . If ever there was a modern day lynch mob trial this was it.
  21. For a lot of people it is now "Saggy Areas!"
  22. I'm Capricorn ,and it is true that my member shrank to one inch when a bit of Elm flew out of a splitter I had borrowed and missed that important region by microns!
  23. Yep, suncream and sitting outside past weeks, solar tubes giving blazing hot water. Then a sudden change, cloud cover, East wind no hot water and the missus struck up the Aarrow stove. Harmony restored in the house!
