Wouldn't it be embarrassing to find yourself agreeing with posts that were defending Epstein... only saying. Though hindsight is a thing, even 6 months ago the world could see what he was.

Not sure about causing cracks or heave, it is the go to cause though for the insurers if there is a crack in the house and a nearby tree. If it was me, it is very close to the shed, in a few years left in place will be damaging the shed wall, annual gutter clearing, and so on. Unless it is really sentimental get rid and if you want another put one further from the house. Though, and I might be corrected, if the tree has only been there for 6 years the ground levels will settle to that point - the risk of heave is not as great as perhaps a 100 year old mature tree that is older than the house.

Just as a bit of light relief from the news: Ski-jumpers accused of enlarging penises to enhance performance UK.YAHOO.COM Anti-doping chiefs at the Winter Olympics are ready to investigate extraordinary suggestions that ski-jumpers are gaining a performance advantage by enlarging their penises.

That was just your comprehension failure. Suggest you go back to that part of the conversation, read, take your time, understand.

Was going to say "Sounds exactly what Mark is doing, but you constantly bring it up. Maybe learn lessons from home on this one 'did not want sympathy or to be talking about it every day letting it define her very existence.' ". Or is it your hypocrisy coming to the forum again, what is OK for you and yours is not OK for others?

No one should ever have to attend a funeral due to suicide... but it happens all too often, all walks of life. Astonishes me that he uses mental health as a way to attack others on this forum when it is a thing that Arb workers have an increased likelihood of suicide (along with farming, construction and ex military). The root causes are not something to attack another for, the end results are a wooden box in many many cases.

Yes it is, suggest before you attack others you read up on the subject to prevent yourself looking like an idiot. Comes in the same line of conditions that causes depressions and is one of the major causes of male suicides.

I don't know. On reflection yes I should correct myself "Dementia kicking in and he is a liar"

I was considering an 'end of year' report for Trump, but given his overwhelming failure to meet any of his election promises to the workers of the US, the summary would be 'F - can do better'. However will let the election in Texas do the talking where the newly elected Democrat - in Texas - the first time for a Democrat to take that seat in decades had a 25% swing. If the Republican heartlands are voting Democrat with that amount of change I think that is all we need to know of his successes. Trump had selective amnesia from giving an endorsement a couple of weeks ago to "I didn't know there was an election". Dementia kicking in or he is a liar?

Probably for the best, he doesn't rate education 🤷‍♂️

You been drinking JonsonD, the NI reference was on this page as well. Keep up to speed

Yes, Mark, stop using your education to apply critical thinking to the world and news. You know it upsets JonsonD with his dislike for anyone educated past 16 years old. Far better to copy and paste from the biased and unregulated social medias, bypass the brain and just go straight to outrage.

3.5 tonnes... suspect this is total weight too, probably what they can recover. A tipper with 5 tonnes of chip in the back will need commercial recovery. Though "if the tipper is used for business purposes", as opposed to all of us who have a tipper for domestic reasons? might be able to argue that since all tippers are for business use this clause contradicts the earlier ones which the headline says they do cover? (Edit before anyone gets arsy, hands up anyone who uses a tipper solely for personal use and never as a business vehicle?)

Reminds me of a quote Joe Wilkinson said on a show ...sitting on a bus talking to a random stranger "we were getting along really well until I downed a jar of Loyd Grosmans Bhuna sauce and it all went weird"

Was going to post a pic of home battered cod and chips... but the family got in there first. I can post a pic of a lemon skin.... (Gluten free, as good as the chippy, as quick as their delivery service and half the price, top tip with GF is to add a pinch or paprika and turmeric for colour)
