Had to read the last line a couple of times, classic. Might go along with Donald Rumsfelds 'known unknowns' for linguistics

By way of comparison, there were about 100,000 cases of child abuse that action was taken on last year in the UK the internet reckons, yes, here you go, highlighting about 3% of the cases. Majority of the cases were where the perpetrator was white.. yet you never mention them, why is that ('Honour' based abuse is usually a family affair affecting the child of the perpetrator)

Might be but also correct isn't he.
-
He always has done, he doesn't actually care about the crimes just the race or religion of the perpetrator otherwise this forum would be filled with the other 90% of crimes that he doesn't report.

They made his hair disappear, that's age dear that does that. Age. They also blended his foundation makeup better too but he isn't whinging about that.

Am with Muddy on this one, not sure of the need, unless you are HETAS registered and then you'll have all the toys. To check a draught, a ball of newspaper on the grate (or potential where grate will be) is as good as any, smoke goes up the chimney you have a draught. Did the same to my fires when opening them up to give an indication of issues and then called in the sweep knowing all was well. Sweep did smoke tests and would have done a camera survey if I'd wanted. After that once the stove or fire is in use, Muddys symptoms will show problems and issues and then you might want to call someone in (or the installer back) to fix them... and they will have the toys. As for installing and so on, you can install yourself but get a registered HETAS engineer to sign off the work - if you can find one to do that without costing about as much as the install itself.

Train to Kilmarnock... should be possible if no car. There are a few members on here who are ex-forces and might be able to drop you a line with any issues adjusting to life in the arb industry.

In a thread all about Trump too.... as I said a few times, Trump is complicit in these crimes by keeping his mouth shut at the very least, though listening to some of the US senate speaking (who do have privileged access to information) the link is a lot more seedy than that.
-
Kind of ironic here, in Gaza Hamas attacked Israel 2 years ago, and Israel invaded killing tens of thousands (10 and 20 times more than Hamas killed). This was OK with the world. This week, Hamas were attacked and so they surrounded the attackers, intent on killing 10 and 20 times more than were killed but are slated for it. Different scale, similar situation. Both attacks were wrong, both responses were well over the top. Trumpy will still be insisting he has been instrumental in peace in the region despite facts getting in the way.

Yes, I'd read that too, am not much of a climber just now else I would be chopping the dead bits off the affected trees to try to slow the spread, have the view to leave them till they are dead and then remove them as this: my wood has too much shade and cover - another project to take out a lot of the dead stuff and let light reach the ground for some natural regeneration and growth. Will be adding some replacement trees in to help things along though. Of course, like BillQ, nowhere apart from the stove for the dead wood to go to.
-
Youtube will show you anything - burning them out, bulldozers and tractors to pull them out, dynamite, all sorts.... Depends on the situation I think, but it reckons it will work OK
-
Yes, we know that, his press secretary knows it, he knows it too
-
So peace in Gaza has lasted about hours.

Never thought of bird cherry - that might go in the mix near the road side with silver birch, that would work with sycamore further from the road. Tried a few types of apples a few years ago till I disturbed a very fat looking deer sleeping under its supper, however there is a sea of brambles for protection now.
-
Small digression, I got ID on teaspoons once, wouldn't set any store with over 18s policies. (cashier started laughing, asked for ID - I am well past 25 by now - laughed more when she saw my face as she said "It is for these")

This topic is as good as any, was passing through looking for recommendations what to replace ash trees with, got about 10 to 12 dead / nearly dead in the wood and the other half suffering - thoughts are this winter to clear the brambles and remove the dead ones, to replace them with something else one for one, not sure what yet. Remove and replace the others as and when, gives a more phased removal and replanting. Self seeded ash, hawthorn and holly thrive in the wood, was thinking to stay away from ash for a few years, the rest of the wood is a mix of pines. Silver birch grows well just down the road. First thought is a birch as a replacement. This part of the wood is screening to the neighbours, quicker growing rather than slower growing would work. What does anyone else think?

This tree was named tree of the year.

fingers crosses (whatever fingers left) that these will be poor enough that used once and thrown away (I have a 50-50 success rate with Lidle and Aldi tools, some great, others bin fodder). Think I'll stick to secateurs.

He wasn't obsessed... a montage 515K views · 57K reactions | BREAKING: After Donald Trump once again... WWW.FACEBOOK.COM BREAKING: After Donald Trump once again didn’t win the Nobel Peace, Jimmy Kimmel just released this devastating montage of Trump begging for the Noble Peace Prize. Wow. Follow...

This was his second annual check up this year, very much emphasising his heart... but smoke and mirrors... not a lot else. Advanced imaging sounds to me like MRI scanning - not something an average annual check on an 80 years old would do, unless they are looking for something. As for Covid... didn't his health secretary cancel the Covid programmes in the US, not necessary, yet his boss is having the shots...
-
Very much 'wait and see' if the peace deal holds - none of the previous ones had any longevity.
-
Was going to say depends where you live, guising season...
-
But.. he was wanting it this year.
-
Major stoppy about to occur - he hasn't got the Nobel Peace Prize...

Suspect "not long" is the answer. Looks like Israel are also withdrawing to about half the territory - so quite a land grab there, even with future talks I suspect they will have more land than they started with. Suspect look to the future and how it can all be rebuilt so that the innocents can live there again
