  1. Have I missed something? Edit, I was talking about Woody Paul’s tree.
  2. Well, we can all learn something from those photos.
  3. I imagine the tension loads or whatever they’re called had changed dramatically after the loss of the two other limbs. Still a bit of a suprise though.
  4. Wordle 1,150 X/6 🟨⬜⬜⬜⬜ ⬜⬜🟩🟩🟩 ⬜⬜🟩🟩🟩 ⬜⬜🟩🟩🟩 🟩⬜🟩🟩🟩 🟩⬜🟩🟩🟩 ha ha! Thought I was on for a three.
  5. Great, with the voice of Peter Griffin. Someone described one part we saw there as watching a golden retriever rolling in fox crap.
  6. They did have an easily removable baffle which genuinely transformed it.
  7. Anyone see that Australian break dancer on the Olympics? Absolutely hilarious, see if I can find a link
  8. They’re interesting rather than a real collectible. In good working order I reckon Β£180 for the two. Opinions may vary.
  9. Just dipping in and of Michael Ball doing the Sunday love songs spot. Its so bad it’s funny. Some old bird just wrote and read out this incredibly mawkish poem to her bloke (who was on another line for reasons unknown) and all he could say was…..’thank you’
  10. I wonder if the incomer kites/buzzards have predated on the HH nests? I was talking to a farmer about the kites and buzzards following him on the tractor when he’s cutting hay, he said they were after crickets and grasshoppers rather than the rodents (which is what I had assumed) It can be quite a sight, a dozen or more of each species dive bombing behind the tractor.
  11. I never saw one in the UK, but the Weald isn’t really HH friendly. You see plenty of HHs here.
  12. Back in the 70s you would never have seen a kite in Sussex, buzzards very rarely.
  13. No pictures I’m afraid but some good news nevertheless. Up to around 2014 ish there were countless swallows nesting and living in our hamlet. Every year, after a few weeks a hobby hawk took up residence, doing regular β€˜drive bys’ trying to pick one off. Then the population dropped dramatically only a handful nested here, year after year of no improvement. This year however for whatever reason loads of youngsters have hatched, and the skies are full of them, and………just seen the first hobby for a decade being chased and harried! let’s hope it stays like this
  14. Or having a laugh at some people’s expense.
  15. Igor is showing his age a bit. he’s around 11 we think. On pills for his arthritis and can’t come to work in the summer, because the van gets too hot, much to his disgust. But an early morning laze in the sun still hits the spot.
  16. Wordle 1,148 5/6 ⬜⬜🟨⬜⬜ ⬜🟨🟨⬜⬜ ⬜🟩⬜⬜⬜ ⬜🟩⬜🟨⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Was going nowhere fast. So put it down and came back 30 minutes later, et voilà!
  17. It’s nice Steve, but I don’t think that’s the ideal location for broom and mop heads (right next to the sink/food preparation area)
  18. You’re putting it out there, I’m screen-shotting it (I’m not, just making a mental note) Not.Going.To.Happen.
  19. More lies from β€˜The Man’ trying to stop us living our lives the way we want.
  20. Wordle 1,147 5/6 ⬜⬜⬜🟩⬜ ⬜🟨⬜🟩⬜ ⬜🟩🟩🟩🟩 ⬜🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
  21. No I wasn’t, but it turned out I was fecking useless at everything else anyway, so had to go back to it.
  22. Wordle 1,146 4/6 ⬜⬜🟨⬜⬜ ⬜⬜🟨🟩⬜ ⬜🟩🟨⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Did the first 3 lines at 6.30 this morning. Realised I was making more stupid mistakes. So re-started this afternoon, 1 minute later, whammo!
