  1. You’re putting it out there, I’m screen-shotting it (I’m not, just making a mental note) Not.Going.To.Happen.
  2. More lies from ‘The Man’ trying to stop us living our lives the way we want.
  3. Wordle 1,147 5/6 ⬜⬜⬜🟩⬜ ⬜🟨⬜🟩⬜ ⬜🟩🟩🟩🟩 ⬜🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
  4. No I wasn’t, but it turned out I was fecking useless at everything else anyway, so had to go back to it.
  5. 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!
  6. Next spring. American second home owners, leaving for the States tomorrow, place all locked up. Even if we could get an exterminator in today, I wouldn’t want to do it for a couple of days.
  7. Hornets nest halfway up! 🐝 Earlier than expected finish, out of pocket unfortunately. Better than in hospital or worse though.
  8. The flip side is it can put you off. As an adolescent 12/13/14 I was press ganged into bale carting on the farm every summer. I hated it, and thought that doing any hard manual work would be the very worst way you could make a living.
  9. Morning all. Finishing off a two day job today, went hard yesterday (some scabby dead spruce) So just a tricky lakeside birch to come out. If it doesn’t fall into the lake with me on it, it’s an early finish.
  10. Around half the cost new I reckon.
  11. Back to the subject.. Interesting (at least to me) how quickly things have changed. The Harris/Walz ticket clearly has the momentum. Shows just how big a turn off a cadaverous Biden was to the undecided. Expect plenty of vitriol from Trump and Vance, they may be digging themselves deeper with that tactic.
  12. Wordle 1,145 6/6 ⬜⬜⬜⬜🟨 ⬜⬜⬜🟩🟨 🟩🟩⬜⬜⬜ 🟩🟩⬜⬜⬜ 🟩🟩⬜⬜🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Some grim satisfaction in beating Doug I guess. Staggering stupidity on 3/4/5. I shouldn’t really be in charge of moving machinery.
  13. I keep seeing about JD Vance and a couch, but I can never get to the bottom of it. What is it all about?
  14. If my boots last a year I’m happy, I’m not someone who knows the manufacturer or manufacturers name of my boots. I never clean or dubbin or whatever. Here’s my latest set, they’re called Bert and Ernie.
  15. Wordle 1,144 5/6 ⬜⬜⬜🟨⬜ ⬜🟨🟨⬜⬜ ⬜⬜🟨🟨⬜ ⬜⬜🟨🟩🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
  16. Any mole that comes into my garden is as good as dead thanks to this device. Illegal in the UK, I imagine because of the explosives involved. But humane and very effective. Killed 2 in one day earlier in the spring.
  17. Wordle 1,143 5/6 ⬜⬜⬜⬜🟨 ⬜⬜🟨⬜⬜ ⬜⬜🟨⬜🟩 ⬜🟩⬜🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
  18. Now that is an interesting (and infuriating) board!
  19. Wordle 1,142 4/6 ⬜🟨⬜⬜⬜ 🟨🟩⬜⬜⬜ 🟩🟩⬜⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
  20. I did some work for a client a few years back, I noticed a nearly immaculate 020t in his shed. I told him straight, I wanted that saw (I started my career with one) He says fine, when I get too old you can have it. I did some more work a year or so back, ‘where’s the 020? I ask. ’oh, I reversed over it in my tractor a couple of years back’ Bastardo!
  21. That 020T is 24 years old at least. Never needed any work?
