  1. .. I know we will say this to potential employees to help them along, so to you.. failed at the first hurdle... where are you looking for them to work?
  2. Being dismissive of someone because they are not wearing the traditionally 'correct' clothes for an important occasion.. that would never happen As for the cult, Trump himself did facilitate Epstein....
  3. FYI Mazda 2 rear shock absorber and bracket is about £100 each (this weeks MOT), Mazda 6 will be a bit more? just if you decide to give yours a proper work out!
  4. Cock... Leaves a funeral early so he can have dinner. Not sure how the reservations work on Air Force One, but I suspect he wasn't begging for favours to get a table. (I'm also conscious the time he was in Rome he was also making trade deals... so how much funeraling and paying his respects did he actually do. Cock) Trump makes early exit from Pope’s funeral to treat Melania to birthday dinner UK.YAHOO.COM Donald Trump departed Rome shortly after the Pope’s funeral to treat the first lady Melania to a romantic dinner on Air Force One for her 55th birthday. aks away fro
  5. I haven't followed this part of the story closely, you suggest not innocent, What was he convicted off and in which jurisdiction?
  6. The 'days from death' was her admitting herself to hospital after being beaten up by her ex husband, car accident was insignificant to that part of the story.
  7. Cock.... Going to a funeral to make trade deals..... 17K views · 244 reactions | Trump: “We’re leaving and going to Rome,... WWW.FACEBOOK.COM Trump: “We’re leaving and going to Rome, where we’ll be attending the funeral of Pope Francis…It's going to be very interesting.”.
  8. What are your plans for the area? If for example it is going to be a lawn just keep mowing it over the summer this year and next and it will do the job. Otherwise poison the roots, or dig them out will give the fastest results, or slower but more environmentally friendly and easer on the back, just keep cutting off the new shoots as they appear till the roots run out of energy stores to put up new shoots - takes a couple of years to do that. With poison just spraying the new shoots isn't so effective, need to get into the roots themselves - others will be able to advise the best over the counter solution for that
  9. Yes, and am sure we have all been there with the "Dad, John called me a poo" conversation which in essence is what was playing out above. (EDIT: Actually in my case it was 'jobbie'... but we stopped them talking too Glaswegian)
  10. Not at all. Did you read the words? Using made up numbers by way of example: 6 months ago farmer buys feed at 10,000 and can make a profit Today he buys feed at 12,200 and cannot make a profit The difference is the tax that Trump has added. The post was highlighting this tax increase means the farmer is making a loss. But you fire out an insult to the OP because you do not like this idea being highlighted here....making you the sh!t poster and not the OP.
  11. There is no suggestion that the farmer in the post does not know the cost, if he is like farmers I know, he'll know to the cent. The post was not highlighting an ignorant farmer who does not know his business costs of course, simple comprehension of the words is not a hard thing to get. The post is highlighting how Trumps tariffs are hurting farmers. I was sure you'd understand that extra taxes on farmers hurt them, but maybe not so. So as above, firing out the insult because you don't like the words you read really just makes you the sh1t poster here.
  12. But.. and here is the essence of the post... you haven't just had your animal feed hit with a massive import tariff have you? So a basic lack of comprehension of the original post, you fire out an insult... which in my view makes you the sh1t poster.
  13. So... no comment on the post just firing out an insult for the fun of it then? Kind of makes you the sh1t poster there doesn't it?
  14. That's going to hurt, if they don't agree then Trumpy is going to get stroppy and walk away, failing and giving up as opposed to Biden who didn't give up. So the proposal is The Ukraine are to roll over and give in to the aggressor and all will be well till next time. Russia has a history here of waiting a few years and then going again.
  15. However, I'll tell you whose fault it isn't!!
  16. Reports today are that all these countries "queuing up to make deals" - I think he was quoted at 90 in 90 days target - are actually reading the same report and holding off any talks knowing they'll be in a better position in 6 months time
  17. Tracks are too big for wood worm, typically 1 to 1.5mm diameter
  18. I'd treat the log store, though the treatments are generally surface treatments - if they are in the log store just now they will keep eating away, being killed off when they emerge and eat through the treated outer surface. For wood around it, the life span of the beetle is 2 to 7 years (depends on the source you read) - it will be in the wood that long before coming out to breed and infest somewhere. If you assume that they get out the ash this summer and infest the other logs you have 2 years minimum before they are ready to breed, which might enough time to burn the logs you have, so I wouldn't be too concerned with them. Burn the ash first of course. Odd, I always thought that fresh logs were too moist for wood worm and too dry they don't like that either. Winter might help, a good long cold spell will kill them off, the wood they are in has to be below -5 (?) for about 3 or 4 days - which can help the fence since it will get cold enough and if the cold of winter long enough should be OK. Fences are also tend to be treated with paints, stains and so on which they don't like - preference to go elsewhere, like the log pile.
  19. 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.
  20. Don't believe that Gareth, subject was Truss and Social Media channel of her very own, you should read the post more fully then.
  21. He should be the next pope: 36K views · 852 reactions | If being a deluded narcissist was a game,... WWW.FACEBOOK.COM If being a deluded narcissist was a game, Trump would be the undisputed champion
  22. 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.
  23. 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.
  24. 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.
