Exactly this. Wonder how tricky it can be to understand: WW2: 1939 to 1945 Pakistan created 1947. Suspect JohnsonD will not be saying "Oh, yeah, made a mistake there"

As above that book is rated I don't have it but it is worth a read. I assume you want to prune the tree to be a more appealing shape... though my ugly apple tree gives a good crop, the apples will taste the same whichever way. - Use sharp clean tools for the job, secateurs will be OK I reckon... sharp ones. - I tend to think about any cuts so that any water will run off (i.e. not horizontal) - The most you can really cut off a fruit tree any year is about 30%... about 1/3 though the next year it will grow a lot of new shoots to compensate. 10% to 20% off is better to prune for its shape - First cuts - look for any dead branches and remove them - Then remove any branches that cross each other touching (only need to do one of them) bearing in mind the shape you want for what you remove - Then look at the tree, you want a reasonably open structure inside it - airflow and light. Any branches that cross from one side to the other consider if you want to keep them - However you should be able to order the book from a library to read (for the youth... Library, a kind of store full of books you can borrow... Book... like a PDF but IRL...). Books are better - you can take them out to the tree with you and refer to it as you go

... apart from the ~2 million Indians who died during WW2 of course...

I'm just old fashioned paranoid, but the bank is only a 10 minute run away - couple all my banking with being out and about at lunchtime, cannot hack that. Though 2 factor identification is a pain in the butt, unless your sitting on your phone. Sometimes nice to put the thing down.

Yes. "Correlation Firearms and Firearm Deaths The correlation between firearms and firearm deaths is a significant concern in various regions. Studies have shown that higher levels of gun ownership are associated with increased rates of homicide, particularly firearm homicide. This relationship is observed across high-income countries and even when the United States is excluded. The evidence suggests that where there are more guns, both men and women are at a higher risk for homicide, particularly firearm homicide." ... a summary of the internet by Google.

There is a direct correlation between the number of guns in the general population and the number of people shot. Odd that.

He does have some strange ideas. Going back to mid-September for his worst.

Cannot beat an old inner tube - so many uses. Also see 'Wild Sling' for another use. And windfalls. Seen this, D ring and a couple of steel cable ties.

Didn't like Javid, ruined The Kirk by taking its business away (we got about), Christmas in The Kirk most years, summers we went to The Mall, gave MacMillans a miss mostly.. but yes, from about age 16 to mid 20s. Not sure we got the 10p pints that year though, though they ring a bell (might be that I did get them and just cannot remember)

Cinzano Biancos! Can I deny everything? (Then onto the Mall after)

I refer you to the earlier comments on assumptions and your comprehension problems. Suggest you seek help for both.

Ahhh, your usual comprehension failure. Suggest you take a look at doing a basic English comprehension course, it might help with your understanding of the world.

From the comment I remember reading, might have missed something in between the million posts you put up. BillQs comment was factually correct. BillQs comment was not expressing an opinion either way. I reckon that is another apology you owe him today. Idiot.

Not AI related but the help yourself tills are a game, usual routine for me is the -usually a lady- (ladies don't get shouted at or the agro that men get) has to pop over once or twice a shop. I once managed to get the whole till to shut down, go off line and show the 'Windows' screen (not sure exactly how, wish I could remember what I did). If the lady isn't there with the fob, I'll just leave that till 'broken' and move to the next one (saw the shop staff run out the shop for a shoplifter, check the cameras and realise the 'shoplifter' was just doing his shopping at a till that was working right. Yup, I know a few of the supermarket staff just because I'll ask them how their days were - trolley man who does saloon car racing, shelf stacker whose having a slow breakdown, other one whose boy is in the police - embarrasses The Boys "Dad how do you know them" "I don't, I just chat with them". AI won't do that. On topic of course, AI will have to cope with the grumpy old child in me who loves to work out how to break the machines.

Oooh the forums shining whit, and I note you were so pleased with your comment that you came back for your obligatory edit. However assumptions do make an as out of you, as they say. Idiot.
