  1. More like Thuja to me. As for the log burner, I’ve never known a wood burn with less heat, you could get in the firebox with it wearing a jumper and still shiver.
  2. Looks like old swipes from a ditch clearance with a digger to me as well.
  3. Wordle 1,026 4/6 ⬜🟩⬜⬜⬜ 🟨🟩⬜⬜⬜ ⬜🟩🟩⬜🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Standard.
  4. I knew a guy, did up a car for resale, took it to the MOT centre with knackered shocks at the back but a new set in a box on the back seat. The tester knew and trusted the bloke asked him β€˜you putting those shocks on yeah?’ Guy confirmed so the tester passed. Guy took the shocks back and got a refund, sold the car to a youngster. Youngsters dad checked the car out a few days later clocked the knackered shocks, checked the MOT, so reported to the fuzz. Long story short prosecuted, lost job etc.
  5. Wordle 1,025 4/6 ⬜🟨⬜⬜⬜ 🟨⬜⬜⬜🟩 ⬜🟩🟩⬜🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Decent effort after a 6 yesterday.
  6. Seen a few just arriving or passing through. First week in April is normal for the first sightings here.
  7. Put it up on here when you sell it, would like a look at it.
  8. Human filth. Worse than the kiddy fiddlers, should be strung up by their privates and left to rot at the village limits as a warning to others. My blood is boiling here!
  9. Wordle 1,023 5/6 ⬜⬜🟨⬜⬜ 🟨🟩⬜⬜⬜ ⬜🟩⬜🟨⬜ ⬜🟩⬜🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Did the old β€˜walk away from it and come back later’ thing. Got it in seconds upon my return.
  10. I never defended her policies, I said I dreamt of having sex with her in a thatched croft house on the Shetland islands whilst highland cattle watched us from the window, gently mooing. Is that so wrong?
  11. I disagree, I keep a few small trees/jobs on the books as β€˜end of day work’ Phone them up the night before β€˜we’ll come and do you tree tomorrow at 3’ Go in all business like, bang it out, put the money in your wallet. They are paying for the logistics of removing the arisings.
  12. 2 hours? You can park right next to it! What are you doing? Passing it through your digestive system ?
  13. Wordle 1,022 4/6 ⬜⬜🟨⬜⬜ ⬜🟨🟨🟩⬜ 🟨🟨🟨🟨⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 standard.
  14. 200 quid seems fair, especially as it’s folding money, an hour max at the end of a proper day. Turns an average day into a bumper day.
  15. Not to my knowledge. I am one of those who retain pointless information. I like maps and stuff.
  16. Spalding in Lincolnshire. Course I know where it is.
  17. We’ve been using the set I put up earlier, fitted by my groundy. Seem very good, some static, but adequate range, at €130 for two, very affordable. Bit of a delay on the On/Off mechanism (maybe 2 or 3 seconds) But the more we use it the more we get used to its foibles. The lad unclip the units and charges them every night so no throwing it all in the workshop every evening. Early days, but so far so good.
  18. Wordle 1,021 4/6 🟨⬜⬜⬜⬜ 🟨🟩⬜⬜🟨 ⬜🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 better!
  19. Wordle 1,020 6/6 ⬜⬜⬜⬜🟨 🟨⬜⬜⬜⬜ 🟨⬜🟨🟨🟨 ⬜🟨🟨🟩⬜ 🟨🟩⬜🟩⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Terrible today, just couldn’t get a breakthrough. Committed the crime of reusing already wrong letters just to form a word and get a handle on it.
  20. Cedar, bigger than it looks. Wind and rain didn’t help. Back tomorrow to move the wood. Would love to claim the hinge, but it’s Dave’s (@5thelements) work. VIDEO-2024-04-03-19-29-34.mp4 VIDEO-2024-04-03-19-30-13.mp4
  21. Wordle 1,019 4/6 ⬜🟨⬜⬜⬜ 🟩🟨🟨⬜⬜ 🟩⬜⬜🟨⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 One wasted go, par for the course.
  22. Get a job at a local firm to build experience.
