See I don't buy the aerodynamics bit.... every car I have had has within a percent or 2 given me the same MPG - I am fixed and set in my ways so tend to go for the same type - size, similar shape, and engine size. Not Landrovers but family cars. Improved aerodynamics will give me a better MPG? but I am not seeing that, aerodynamic changes are not as dramatic as you are wanting to make out.

Got to remember his attention span, he'll be dead by the time it hits critical levels rather than just "we need to act now"... so if he dismisses them all he doesn't have to use his limited brain power to worry about it.

So Leavitt thinks that Bezos and Amazon have partnered with a Chinese propaganda arm (as reported by Reuters), and Trump thinks that Bezos, who he has known for a couple of years is a really great guy... so which is it? Evil incarnate according to his mouthpiece or a great guy according to the dottery old man.

Leavitt is definitely worth the humour to watch the press conference, the instant attack and blame everything on Joe Biden, you can almost script her answers yourself (it is like a Leavitt Bingo card I have). In the US there is nothing unusual about price tags having the 'price' plus the various sales taxes listed (remembering 'ticket price' is before tax), all Amazon are doing is continuing this established procedure and listing import taxes. For clarity, the American consumer can now see clearly which products have no import tax (ie American produced goods) and which are imported, you'd have thought she'd think this is a good thing wouldn't you.... except the instant leap to attack suggests she is trying to defend something she cannot really defend.

That would fit with the body double Melania the conspiracy theorists were reckoning were at the Vatican (briefly) on Saturday (it was the real deal for the pair of them there, dottery old man who had to concentrate on the stairs (not sure anyone noticed that) and devout Catholic wife with a front row seat to the top mans funeral, course it was her. Couldn't imagine she is that good an actress to act like she does around a Trump body double)

Not heard anything but also coincides with a reasonably warm day in Portugal (26 Deg C), just wonder if it was something as benign as not looking at the weather, AC units kicking in without enough generation and tripping the system. Old fashioned cock up. (if the system is on the limit a small disturbance can ripple out and black out large areas - trip one substation, the next kicks in to cover the first... which is then overloaded and trips, 2 more try to supply the power and cannot and it ripples out, then of course got to go Manuel and check each is OK to switch back on before you can restore power... simply put)

.. 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?

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....

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!

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.

I haven't followed this part of the story closely, you suggest not innocent, What was he convicted off and in which jurisdiction?

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.

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

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)

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

However, I'll tell you whose fault it isn't!!

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

Tracks are too big for wood worm, typically 1 to 1.5mm diameter

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.

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.
