Wood worm has a 4 or 5 year lifecycle so usually if you dry the logs and then burn them within a couple of years you don't have problems. Might be problems if you have other wood stuff about that is precious. For example you might not want to bring more than necessary into the house over the winter (winter, hibernation but warm house might wake them up again) I'd isolate what you know is affected and burn that next.

OK.

Don't believe that Gareth, subject was Truss and Social Media channel of her very own, you should read the post more fully then.

Gareth, are you on a wind up this morning?! Truss entering a social media market when the competition is Musk and Trump, I can see this as the fastest way she can bankrupt herself.

Reckon most firms will have their full time staff sorted but will want occasional extra hands on larger jobs - they have to still pay the wages if there is no work though. Might be you need to get your name out there and take the odd job here and there to build a reputation as reliable. Never easy switching careers where you are competing with everyone with limited experience on their CV. If you took up the firm offers of days here and there, how many days a month would that give you? Are you also able to stick at your current job till you get an opportunity you want? Final thing, I guess you have looked at the employment threads here. Might be you put your details in there, include stuff like how far you can travel to work ('Sussex' - but is that the whole county, is it the neighbouring ones or is it just your town you can get to)... the more details that can help the better.

Bundle of laughs your holiday is turning out to be if you think that posting on a social forum the meaning of "Eye for an Eye" is a great use of your family time. Still each to their own.

... and so on one of the most important weekends of the Christian calendar, Jesus dies, comes back to life, basis of all blind faith stuff, JD Vance pops over to the Vatican - HQ of a lot of the Christian types - for talks on immigration to the US. Just thinking how 'blind faith' escaped him and perhaps 'blind' is more apt where I reckon a lot of the priests he met might just have other things on, quite a busy weekend at the end of quite a busy week. Over Vance pops, oblivious to culture and apparently his own faiths calendar. Or just having a pleasant Easter Weekend and trying to make the tax payer pick up the bill. Cultural wasteland in his brain.

Can't remember last US president where there were protests on the streets like Trumpy is getting... especially after only 3 months in the job 'Trump must go now': Thousands join protests across US UK.YAHOO.COM STORY: ::Thousands of protesters rally across the U.S. to oppose the Trump administration's policies::April 19, 2025::Washington, D.C."Due process, that’s the first thing they...

B&Q jobbie is about 10 years old, Mountfield about 20 - there is a noticeable increase in quality

If that is where they committed their crimes then yes. By way of examples: If for example I got convicted of a crime in say, Brazil - believing the TV the jail time is not so nice as it is in the UK, should I be returned to the UK, closer to home, closer to family, to a cell that is designed for 2, houses 2 (and not 8 in a 2 bed cell ) - should I be returned to the UK for a cushy jail time? Or should I suffer they same as any locals convicted of the same? How about if I accidentally flew into Bangkok with 1kg of class A drugs - mandatory death sentence - but as a UK citizen should I be returned home and not face their justice where as everyone else doesn't ? Or of they flew into the UK with the same should we send them to Bangkok to meet their justice? So if the crime is committed in the country, then yes, the punishment should be taken in that country and not be sent away where justice, punishment and tariffs for crimes don't match the host countries morals.

Them as well? He is annoying a few folk isn't he (yesterday, forgot to post, a big demonstration in New York against his leadership)

Was giving the lawnmower its annual clean (makes me feel better for ignoring maintenance the rest for the year). Anyway, remembering this thread, took the spark plug out and likewise it's covered in soot. Tomorrow might do the same again - todays was £100 B&Q job, tomorrows is Mountfield so 2 ends of the scale in terms of quality. Anyway, a thought, these mowers (4 stroke) are stopped by stalling the engine - release handle, brake goes on, stalls engine - reasonably unique to mowers, most other engines are stopped by cutting the electricity supply to the spark plug? Not sure if that accounts for soot on the spark plug? - if still fuel in the chamber it might ignite (maybe not explode) but without the engine moving, no exhaust cycle, soot is retained in the engine ?? Just a thought though I am not an expert, it jut struck me as odd that mine is the same condition

Good recovery!

You're sat there quality time with your family and your thoughts are turning to UK asylum seekers and posting the news report on a UK forum. So either they are not enthralling you or you are not enthralling them for you to be that bored. Serious advice here, enjoy the break, the time with the family, they are only young once. Put the internet away, put your feet up and talk rubbish to the kids, make stupid dad jokes even if they are nearly 30... build memories you want them to have and not the memory of "dad was just stuck on his phone all trip". Your ridiculous political agenda can wait another week, we'll still be there but you won't be in the US next week... so serious advice... and same to all who read this... put the internet away and interact with the family IRL.
