  1. Shit no! I read Marsh this morning had died.
  2. Ivy roots are not like tree roots, they’re brittle and do not have the ability to restrict flow up a tree.
  3. I don’t believe Ivy roots can girdle a tree of that size. The photos prove absolutely nothing.
  4. I think by formation he means training. Not sure on his native language, but it can mean training in French
  5. Pulled the trigger is the phrase you were looking for I think.
  6. What’s your first language?
  7. Agreed, blokes a bit foolish.
  8. There’s no danger of me grouping, I am grouping, that’s my point. Of course, there are always exceptions.
  9. Are you saying Jill Dando was killed because she knew about Jimmy Savile?
  10. Fair point. It was that poster using that particular news source that raised an eyebrow this end.
  11. I stand by every thing I wrote. If your position is more nuanced then maybe you could have explained it earlier.
  12. Of course you believe that. Goes without saying.
  13. I find it interesting how the anti vaxxers/covid skeptics whatever you want to call them, have jumped straight on the bandwagon on a pro Russia/anti defending Ukraine without missing a beat. All I can think that they have clicked into a mindset where they automatically reject whatever they see on the news because they perceive it as what ‘the global elite’ want them to think, so they find a way to disbelieve or attribute it to mysterious forces. They see themselves as the free thinkers whereas they’re trapped, looking and finding what they want to hear (even if it’s Fox News) and lapping it up.
  14. What a shitty post from a nasty prick.
  15. What he doesn’t want to do is flatten Kiev and kill thousands in a messy conflict. That won’t play well at home or abroad. He was hoping for a quick, decisive victory, if he had taken possession of the whole place in a few days, with little or no bloodshed, they’d have been a lot of squawking but it would have died down in time, looks like that won’t happen. He seems in the mood for doubling down and seeing it through to a conclusion, good or bad.
  16. There’s a few about.
  17. Depends if we want London to be 15 square miles of radioactive glass or not.
  18. Long gone, new Ranger comes in a week or so.
  19. Not going as well as hoped for the Russians, Putin seems rattled, not so smug. Thats if what were being told is anywhere near the truth. I think he was hoping for a fait accompli. There’s talk of supply lines failures, unexpectedly ferocious resistance. Could be a huge strategic mistake.
  20. Hope you charged enough!
  21. I can admire the skill needed to do it.
  22. It’s my ‘burner’ rope for simple everyday stuff, natural crotch, pulling with the machine etc. As for the Avant/MO Very similar, one has got to go though!
  23. Fair enough, every day a school day.
