PLEASE DON'T FEED THE TROLLS

No pics m'fraid but top Springy stuff nevertheless: earlier in the week a tremendous racket blew up in hedge just outside the door of the outhouse that serves as a shed: then a blackcap (what else) perched on the front of the hedge right by the door looked in and flew off. And today a pair of ravens flew over with one, two or three times just while I watched, folding its wings and plummeting dramatically before swooping up and carrying on. Yippee! I'm a raven!

But as soon as something comes along that is important to you...

Yeah, I take the point regarding local/national elections I would have made the same point myself but to have a voting share fall from 80% to zero: do you not find that interesting? Especially on the heels of the Bullet Votes anomalies (Bullet votes where voters just tick for the president and leave the rest of the card unmarked) whereby a background level (all elections all states) of 1% rose to ~7% in favour of trump in a number of crucial swing states. If this was rigging the vote it was also very sloppy. And still no one questions that massive data gathering exercise that Muskie undertook with prizes of $1m just before the election. Nor what he did with the data. Are you questioning the data or the messenger on this one? Because however you look at it it IS anomalous: it is the definition of anomalous: that is what makes it interesting. If the Kamala vote had dropped to 60% or 40% that would be a bad night at the polls; 20% would be like Liz Truss getting her arse handed to her on that plate (but bear in mind Kamala is popular outside of politics, many would vote for her from affection); but zero? zero is interesting; and yet instead of sharing your insight/analysis you just scream bullshit. Again. You seem to pass up every opportunity to share what you know. Why is that? Why do you share so little?

If I told you that Trump has dubbed himself 'The Fertilization President' you wouldn't believe me would you?

How big's the tree? If not too; then warm soapy water.

Needs to take a bit more care when he's on ms paint though!

JDV Visits Greenland [BBC Link] "[JDV] said the visit to the military installation was to check on the island's security, as "a lot of other countries have threatened Greenland, have threatened to use its territories and its waterways to threaten the United States, to threaten Canada, and of course, to threaten the people of Greenland"." [My underlining] Er which countries would they be then? I can only think of one. Definite case of "Citation Needed" "He added that the Trump administration wants to "reinvigorate the security of the people of Greenland", and that the United States and Denmark have ignored it for "far too long"." [My underlining again] sounds like one of those phrases that will go down in history like "special military operation", "Austria is suffering al of of unrest: it's up to us to sort it out", and "they speak german in the sudetenland so we might as well have that too" ETA "He added that the Trump administration wants to "reinvigorate the security of the people of Greenland" and JDV is an honourable man.

Just to chuck in my two penn'orth on the side; also only regarding the single cylinder mowers but my first go to is always clean the gunge out of the carb bowl and clean the white chalky encrustinations out of the main jet with a set of fine carb files (look upon it as an opportunity to buy)

Thanks for clearing that up for us Gareth. Lucid as ever.

I doubt they'll be allowed to get away with it: all those people that made so much fuss about Hilary's emails & Hunter Biden's laptop will come down on this like a ton of bricks. ETA Ah! No, sorry, my mistake.

As incompetence goes it's up there with Rudi's hyperlink.

I was just reading the very same thing

Almost as if the poor fool had never heard of the Streisand effect.

Wouldn't it just be the biz if Mexico rang up the White House and said, "Oi! Scudzo! We want Texas back!"
