  1. Mind, I reckon there will be some AI bot at it sometime...
  2. I have 'zombie' hands - it is a thing (though I suspect might be a combination of cold hands and oil if I have been playing in the garden with the toys) - taps (sorry, faucets...) with automatic sensors, hand driers, stupid help yourself tills at the supermarkets, all in the hope that someone will invent something better than what we had up to 10 or 15 years ago. Weirdly the chip n pin machine - the important one to take my money, doesn't have touch screen... and works 100% of the time
  3. Thought he had gone to court? But the law has to be fair and even.
  4. However a woodland isn't a short term thing so you probably have the time to do that. The mindless ones might flatten a few but once the rest are established the gaps can be closed over.
  5. not posted any, but have hundreds of the sunset out the window, some nights cannot help but take a couple
  6. It is extra work, needs more space but if it is a problem then a thorny hedge keeps all but the most determined away
  7. There has been a few comments over the years saying the same, put a proper axle / wheels on them for towing
  8. I see the children responded, so will post again on topic.
  9. Predicting the questions, but what are the ground conditions?
  10. Problem with 'just needs his signature'... all good, he can sign it away however Trump has asked them to start, and they have done, an investigation into Clinton and others. Anything that is evidence in those investigations will not be available or will be heavily redacted in case public knowledge could be used to influence future juries. He hasn't suddenly changed his tune overnight to hang himself, he has put in place a procedure to keep a lot of the files locked away for another few years. Any of the incriminating videos and photos cannot be released either if the images contain a minor (schoolgirls / schoolboys). JP Morgan Chase were chasing (excuse that one) the $$ that Epstein was sending their way. I think they have paid some compensation out for this? Khashoggi - only half listened to that clip last night, Trump was saying something like "Many people didn't like him anyway".. so that is OK, 'we' didn't like him so it is OK to murder him.
  11. Yes, a real branch! Lady there got upset when suggesting I upgraded my phone "but what will you do when we only do apps" - pointed at the different bank opposite "I'll just go do my banking with them"
  12. My news said "Major websites" are affected, guess that is Arbtalk then!
  13. Is it all mixed waste or will for example gardening jobs one day, tree jobs another? Tree waste, you can look at the local tip sites, might get a donation and there are some around that will take chip as well. I am assuming here apart from paying for the council tip
  14. That makes me laugh "Morning Sailor" as an insult from the man who spends his working life on a boat 'sailing' when not scuba diving to install wind turbines, what a tool. Perhaps it is not an insult, perhaps it is a fantasy, there he is in his latex gimp suit, bobbing about, just waiting "Why, hello Sailor!". Bubba.
  15. phones... still use a 'basic' phone, mostly because it pisses off the bank every time I go in there, but also very satisfying to know that when I am out and about my nose isn't glued to it - all it will tell me is that I phoned my mum last Wednesday. All it will tell the advertising bots is... I phoned my mum last Wednesday. There are benefits, but, not sure they are more than the brain drain it is creating. I bubble will burst when the predicted advertising revenues don't match what they sell they will.
  16. Is it panto season all ready, oh yes I would.... Generally I'll pick up my battery saws instead of the petrol ones as it is just now, so that's where I'd be heading in the future (OK, if I had the finances for saws, probably get both, that's true)
  17. There were rumours that Trump had paid quite a lot of money to some very young men in his earlier years... only saw that story once so always thought it was not so credible till this week
  18. And likewise go back to sniffing your Scuba gasses.
  19. Should I paraphrase. You are also saying here that Trump is innocent until proven guilty arn't you? As for why he is calling for their release, I won't be holding my breath that they will be released even of all the US politicians vote for it. You hold your breath if you like. Trump is also pressurising the FBI to open the investigations into the likes of Clinton... and all the files will then be needed in that investigation - cannot have them in the public domain. Got to read the news and keep up to date if you want to comment on Times 'Man of the Year'
  20. If I was to set myself up with saws again - firewood use and the occasional tree (that I am happy to do), I would be as Muddy42, MS261 though probably go for an equivalent battery one. No need for domestic users to get anywhere near 90cc, if you are not using a saw most days, occasional once a year type use that power is too much. Smallest bar you need, makes sharpening it quicker and easier - for an occasional user sharpening won't be as quick or efficient (or at all....), faster chain speed than an oversized bar... and how often does a domestic user really need to go larger than 13, 14"? Trying to think, got a couple of tonnes on the drive just now, what is too long to just split will be cut with the little battery saw, 14" bar, nothing larger than that.
  21. A Christmas treat usually! I'll have to try it with the sandwiches this week, depends if the ground is frozen over at lunchtime tomorrow maybe - I'll let you know what I think. Had to google that, yes brassica - also Wassabi which HR is often a cheap replacement
  22. Yes, it certainly thrives, but on the flip side, this is going well where the mint died off (mint also has that reputation). Yes, great fresh, over to the cooking thread - I tend to sort of follow the BBC recipe, horseradish, vinegar, double cream, mustard.. and some garlic just because... It is only me that goes for it so really just make it Christmas time when we have loads of spare cream around (To be fair, it also works with whipping cream and single cream depends what is open)
  23. Bubba!
  24. I am not sure about viruses, I might have been lucky, but for 50p I reckoned it was worth a shot - cannot beat a fresh piece of garlic really. Same with horseradish, 50p pence from the shop, I think last time I dug it all up the root was 1m+ - they are a pain though, leaves crowd out everything so they do need some space.
  25. Mine is doing nice this year -- would get a pic but about to go out on the water for the day. 1 bulb from the supermarket has seen me in garlic for years now
