Go on then, how? So if I read this right (and I did read the article), Trumps idea is that The Ukraine - in the middle of an invasion, an act of aggression against it - wanted them to phone up Russia "you're invading our country, feck off" and a deal is done. I am not sure how such a deal is possible without them rolling over and conceding land losses and setting a precedence for future invasions and land grabs. So... what would this deal be? How would it work to see Russia withdrawing and returning all the territory grabbed back to their rightful owner?

But this story should be a star to make you happier, a £20 billion budget New weapons tsar will have £20bn budget to rearm Britain UK.YAHOO.COM A new weapons tsar will be given a £20 billion budget to rearm Britain, the Defence Secretary has announced.

The Boys have 'pizza toast' all the time. Bit bored of it now so are going onto toasted wraps (Stromboli pizza apparently, posh)

You've made me question myself now, I'll have to check. Rowan on the boundaries so the witches can't cross? Something like that, looks like work will have to pause this afternoon.

Of course, the legends has it round here that you should never cut down a hawthorn - fairies or something live in them.... But great firewood

Financial ££ value might be low but a few chunks passed on for neighbours log burners might be worth a lot more in good will, and home made cake.

I'd add, put a pair of latex gloves on, wear the dirty ones and give them a good scrub in sawdust first to get the worst of the surface oil off (could use cat litter too but remember to remove the cat sausages first else you'll get double complaints). Easiest to wear them to scrub off the oil. That might be enough, washing with soap will remove the natural oils I think so will need treating after - car leather seat cleaner perhaps?

Not so sure I'd be as happy if they were reintroduced - we've kind of sanitised the UK so there isn't a lot out there that might want to eat us. I know the arguments are for population control - deer and so on - but have the landscape and farming changed too much for them? Sheep which are nicely penned in or a deer able to jump and run away, I don't think the farmers would be too happy either.

Going back like for like, and not guerilla forces, you are off onto your distraction tangent and not the comment.

It is more the intent I am talking about. The intent in WW2 was civilian casualties, my hypothetical above was civilian casualties. (hypothetical: for the hard of understanding means story)

History books are of course written by the winners. Leap forward nearly 100 years, if say Putin, the aggressor (the 'Bad Guys') in this case, carpet bombed Kyiv (the 'good guys'), killed 150,000 civilians, would that be acceptable or would it be a war crime? If The Ukraine ('The good guys' who were invaded) went out and did the same action, killing a similar number of Russian civilians ('The Bad Guys', or the aggressors) would that be a problem. Or would both be acceptable civilian casualties? Suspect one action would be a terrible thing, and the other would be acceptable. Leap back to WW2 and ask the same question. "You forget to mention Russian or Japanese genocide by the way. Or even most recently Hamas slaughtering Christian’s".. . Which is a piss poor defence of anything "Look they did bad stuff but they did even badder stuff, so the first bad stuff is OK" * Edity. Language dumbed down for the hard of understanding.

I believe this is a thread about POTUS and I am making relevant comments here. Not adding distracting comments when your bromance love interest is getting a bit of heat for being a bit rape-y and a bit fail-y.

If you have it anyway, try out a few adverts. Costs maybe distance + half day rates, based on an assumption that it if you have enough for a full days work you probably now what you are doing, half a day for those with a tree taken down and left 'for the firewood'.

Buying in solid fuel is a bit of a misconception that it will be significantly cheaper than gas. It is cheaper but you won't be saving thousands. With the rise in log burner installs the fuel costs have gone up, supply and demand.. but you have to consider each case what the most effective heating system is. We wouldn't have a log burner as much if we had mains gas for example (well, we would but it wouldn't be our main heating). Buying a 'load' - tipper truck - at a time is probably the most cost effective

'Daily Starmer'... Labour thread? Only sayin'

It is not an ideological hate for the man, he is simply not a good man, he is a failing politician. You might want to detract from this by bringing just about every other politician past and present into the conversation but no one so far has stood up and said: Trump is a good and moral man Trumps presidency is going to plan. End of really. Moan and whinge that your poster boy is getting a hard time... but he brings that on himself

I don't think I have ever 'bigged up' any particular political leader.

JohnsonD does have a bit of a love interest with Trump, cannot be denied that he biggly bites at every unfavourable post on here about The Rapist. Looking at Trumps record this time around, it is now Sunday night. There is no hell breaking loose in Gaza. The Israeli hostages are still being released according to a time scale that will see them all released according to the agreement they made and not a bullies uitmatum. Putin and Trump are having a bit of a love-in (again), the war in Ukraine wasn't solved on day 1. Don't think it will be solved in month 1 either. Ukraine has no say in any agreements reached, being offered 2nd place "just for men" Vance as lip service only Gulf of Mexico, and the rest of the world said "OK whatever" US Domestic policies and prices are continuing to rise, and not fall from day 1 as promised (and eggs, the sticking point are rising further) Tariffs on imports, the US population are beginning to realise that it is them who will be paying increased prices and in fact many goods can only be supplied by tariff laden imports The offer for all federal employees to quit and be paid till September is being rescinded for many sectors Greenland, kind of gone by the way as has taking the Panama Canal into US control, Mexico and his great agreement was just confirming the agreement Biden had made, Canada just took all US goods off the shop shelves and Trump buckled .... I could go on but has end of month 1 report isn't looking like a president delivering on his promised to upturn everything and fix it all quickly. So far success: 0. As for the 'man' himself, in the political arena his actions are straight out of the great dictators play books

The more he talks this time around the more his actions align with the worlds greatest dictators. And he is only 3 weeks in, wait till he really starts going. "He who saves his Country does not violate any Law."

I was going to say, would a crane be cheaper than this job

Whingy much that someone fabricated stuff on a social media account? If that's a crime we should all be locked up. I believe I did national service in 1968, was born in 1978, got a degree in Brazil and 'didn't go to high school, I'm English' despite high school (2006) in Wisconsin.

B, though it depends in the costs

Money for nothing?

and if it is that mixed up it probably won't burn anyway. Day hire for a digger, should flatten it all down, not too expensive in the grand scheme of things, or 2 or 3 weeks doing it manually

If you can't get to the ground to get a couple of photos then a better description of what you have might help. Sounds to me like it is a field that was scrubland that has been cleared and you want to make a woodland out of it. Is it flat ground, slopes, water sources, access points, where you want to create your human parts, where you want the wild life to be (sculpting and managing). Will the whole site need planting or replanting? When did you buy it? A woodland isn't something to pop to visit every 6 months and expect it to be picture perfect (that's what the national trust does), it takes work, even silly things like picking up the wind blown litter, clearing the paths and so on can take a half day a month before you get onto planting and developing. Anyway grab a screen shot from somewhere like Google Street view and perhaps an arial* shot so we have a visual to know what your on about. Of course, clip off the location data.
