Hee! I did a street view and got just next door. Date stamp is 2012 though so could have changed a lot.

re the sad and confused react to this. It's an analogy. A second example couched in familiar terms to make the underlying general point easier to understand. A man being provoked beyond endurance to attack a girl in a short skirt walking alone at night and then blaming the girl is here compared to someone thinking it fun to watch someone fall and blaming the climber, by just being there, for tempting him to cut the rope. The absurdity of the second is meant to reflect the absurdity of the first. It is not a girls fault for walking anywhere wearing anything at anytime. If you cannot control yourself in a public place get off the street and get help.

Just in case, presumably, a man comes along who is unable to control himself.

Aah! I see. So if your up a tree dangling on a rope, and someone just can't resist shimmying up the tree after you, and cutting the rope, to watch you fall and break your neck; just for the shigs like: then it's your fault for climbing a tree with a rope and being provocative. Thanks. I get that now.

Yep, as above, Collins Tree Guide is the bible and Roger Philips' is most excellent (as are all his photo-guides). For very clear guides to the common species and for glove-box guides I would also recommend: Keith Rushforth; Easy Tree Guide. Humphries Press & Sutton; Hamlyn Guide: Trees of Britain & Europe. Herbert Edlin; The Tree Key. (A bit older.1976/8 but no worse for that) It goes without saying that Alan Mitchell's Collins Field Guide should also be on everyone's shelf. HTH Yourn

Go to court and t'judge'll say: Did You the said plaintiff, otherwise Guest Spiderman, advertize or otherwise offer, your price to the said defendant? And Did the said defendant, otherwise Mr Sparkes as named above, agree or otherwise confirm his willingness to pay, your offer or price for the work proposed as was to be done? And Did You the said plaintiff and Mr Sparkes the aformentioned said defendant accept or otherwise enter into a contract regarding the said tree also heretofore known as 'The Eucalyptus' of the first part viz a vee the said destruction and annihilation thereof according to the second schedule hereunto attached which when produced and closer relation thereunto being had will more clearly and at large appear? And when you say, "No your honourship sir". Him'll look over his specs at you, frown and say, "Hmmm". Cos they is clever like that. Maybe.

Worth it's weight in gold is an enigmatic smile! Edit: Ha! Just thought that one through.

Yep! The epicentre of an earthquake is the place on the surface under which the earthquake has occurred: earthquakes generally being undergroundy things. For some reason it has come to be used to mean nearer the centre than the centre, or very-centre. Which is daft cos ther's already a word for that: the centre!

epicentre in place of centre

Han't looked further than the given page; but this might be handy

axe for ask is wiltshire dialect; comes up often in Richard Jefferies; like waps and wapses for wasp/s. As for sin: how do you pronounce would and could? w'd & c'd (as they are) or wooled & cooled (as they should be)? Like Gould. And wood and good and food: w'd g'd food. See. Foot Boot Root. I go f't boot root but a mate of mine from down by wisbo' green says f't boot r't. I've heard it said that wiltshire and yorkshire dialects are probably more true to old english as it was spake due to their not being influenced by trends and fashions. Cockney was once seen as an affectation. All is change; only the spelling remains. ETA a semi-colon.

Cos there's a brick wall there already! Like duh!!!

Yer welcome! Happy Days.

... and same with the pic on the 'Contact Us' page: she is looking out of the frame - which is bad, swap it to the left and she is looking into the frame - which is good.

That's the bit! The two parts are not connected. Put the pic on the right hand side and it all joins up.

I don't know much about web-sites but I do know a bit about pictures. Can the picture of the lady's head go on the rhs of the page? So that she is looking into the text and meeting the reader's eye. It would bring it all together rather than being two separate parts. ETA So as to make the text a speech-bubble.

Computer only for me: have only got a basic phone for the occasional text and seeing what the time is and never got round to needing any of the other stuff. HD.

Sure you're not thinking of a hopi?

It wasn't a thrush it was a hoopoe! "... and when Pandora finally managed to close the box* all that was left inside was a hoopoe." The End. See Hoopoe. Not a thrush.

Is this the same?

You think that's bad? I've just seen 'prideful' instead of 'proud'.

Tesco seem to have discontinued their Chocolate Brownie Traybake. That and a tin of Ambrosia Custard has always been my emergency tea for when you've ever so slightly over-done it and are starting to fade badly. They say it serves six but they lie: there's just enough for one. Had to have the Granola Traybake tonight instead. Burp. Lovely! Happy Days.

Gravelly Down! ?

Or a discarded shopping trolley?
