  1. 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?
  2. 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!
  3. 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
  4. All these signs are moronic
  5. But why should those people take any more notice of a sign then a red light? Probably cannot read anyway I
  6. 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
  7. 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!
  8. Could not believe anyone would put this sign up under a traffic light! ‘Elf and safety gawn mad?
  9. 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.
  10. Leo could only have come out of Norway!
  11. 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.
  12. For a lot of people it is now "Saggy Areas!"
  13. 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!
  14. 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!
  15. Can you not fix a short spirit level to your handle or somewhere on the saw?
  16. You are a wasted talent with firewood, you need to become a stone wall mason!
  17. Squirrel vendetta today . He came back with a mate and chewed away the inverted plastic plate which I had put under the cage to thwart them Sat up in the tree going ha bloody ha! So the question now is “Has Billhook more intelligence than a Squirrel?” I already know the answer to that from some of you! I am working on the next stage
  18. Don't, don't you want me (to make any more comments)
  19. We bought a second hand Trekkasaw back in the 1990s but I think it had been abused and never seemed to cut without a wave so sold it and bought a Lucas 8 inch I believe the team at Trekka saw went on to make the auto trek as it looks familiar on the video
  20. Also I see that although it is meant to be illegal to release a squirrel caught in a trap, it is not illegal to release a rat in the same way. Quote Forr example, the view of the Department for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) is that the release of brown/common rats (Rattus norvegicus) into the wild is not unlawful under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 because, despite their non-native origins, they could be classed as 'ordinarily resident' in ... wonder who makes these laws
  21. I did not capture it in a trap, it became stuck and I released it in a humane way
  22. We do have a no kill policy around the home and garden so with a rescue there is a bit of planning. Need to find a pair of thick leather gloves. This squirrel could whip round and bite quicker than I can react. Where to grab takes a bit of luck so that I am not bitten or scratched and then to gently ease the thing through the bars was not easy but I am happy to say it did not appear to suffer any harm. It has happened before with another squirrel and the culprit returned the same day. Banging on the head in is not acceptable when you have not a stable object to hit and of course you have to go and look for something suitable to hit it with if you are going to dispatch it humanely The thing had probably been stuck there for over an hour, forty seconds of film was not going to make a lot of difference and five minutes of finding gloves . I assume that you would have been a real man and just have grabbed it with your bare hands and strangled it You amaze me.
  23. What machine do you mill with?
