I'll ask him. Peds, you migrant you, could you stop doing the fighting now please, it's winding JohnsonD right up. There, how's that, should be a better place now.

Lots of spindly ash grown, never thinned out, got blown over. OP wants something more long lasting on the hillside? Foreseeing the questions, has the OP got a few more details of the site, how steep it is, orientation, rough location, any species preference (I'll assume something native) and so on

So in summary... an hour or so ago it "net Zero was generating and look at the electricity prices", and now "no net zero and look at the high electricity pries".. so which is it to be... or maybe... whether it is windy or not it has no bearing on the price of electricity at all? Make your mind up! It is all down to gas prices. Still the new Government are meant to be looking at breaking that link... which will lead to lower prices. I know that you will choke on your morning coco-pop when you read that.

So.... if there is no wind blowing how are electricity prices jumping because of it?

First cars were always 6 months for me, but annually now - but if doing it myself I'll tend to splash the cash to a better quality rather that Halfords basic oil every 6 months / 6000 miles. I'd be wary doing 30k without an oil change and service

So you know how it works and yet, still post misleading information, is that right? "Leading to net zero"... with electricity prices dictated by gas... which are massively (and I'd say exclusively) influenced by Putin in Russia... and not how hard the wind blows in the north of Scotland.

I'm sure that was discussed before how the UK electricity prices are linked to the price of gas, nothing to do with how the electricity is generated. Suggest you read and educate yourself on that while playing politics you can offer up some credible information

"I'm so Stupid"... so it isn't the migrants then? What do you think is causing Dublin to become more dangerous?

So what was your point in the pieces you linked to? Have I mis-understood your thinking that migrants to Ireland is causing Dublin to be a dangerous place?

I take it the article is inferring "Migrants to Ireland are making it more dangerous", Arbtalks resident migrant to Ireland was mentioned in your comment... inferring that as a migrant, he has added to Irelands downfall to dangerous levels. Isn't this what you mean? So what did he do? A poitin fuelled bender perhaps? Fighting at the Temple Bar?

Sorry, Mark, couldn't help myself there, back to your article - a much better read

Ahh, not the rapist liar then? You'll be defending that one, little bit of hero worshiping the rapist I suspect.

We'd agree on something, court of law, jury and all decided he is a 'lying shit bag', and rapist to boot! Cool... agreement from JohnsonD!

Johnson,D, That must be one of the most out there posts you have ever made!! Suggesting that Arbtalks resident migrant to Ireland, as you name check him, has caused Dublin to be a more dangerous place? I know he is a ball up pent up rage, furious at the world but surely the Guiness hasn't got him that bad has it?

No harm to the stove. If it is a lot of card it is a lot of work to make it burn got to rake the ash out constantly and if not the top layer will settle on the card below starving the oxygen so you don't get a complete burn. Better I think to have a garden fire with it - more space for the ashes - and to mix card and wood.. but again will need some attention to rake over the ashes to get a good burn. Garden fork is good. The wood in the fire keeps it going while you do this

I can understand the logic behind them, have a system of reviews and perhaps targeted to a profession, then anyone can have a look and see who appears competent and who doesn't... but the whole system falls down when they ask for a payment to be listed. No Pay, no listing. Then the dodgiest of the dodgy can pay and get work. All the while a computer programmer... with no professional knowledge of the work but can use a computer... is raking it in. For companies often contracts are let by a finance manager, sometimes at the advice of an technical person, sometimes to the lowest bidder, and their checks are often "did they get a good review".. and so the dodgy keep getting work if they also pay for the reviews.

Fck... I'd better have a quiet day tomorrow else I will be missing work to do just this!

It just doesn't quite read right to me, I've had a look at this one yesterday and again today, and the gut feeling is there is a little more to the story we arn't being told. Pics 2 and 3 go the other way round, ladder photo the night of the 'crime' and daylight the next morning. Coincidence maybe. To me the hedge (between the trellis and the semi- house in the background) looks like it has had some attention at the same time too... but that could be incidental to a limb falling on it from the tree. Owner has had the house for 3 weeks - so photo 1 from the estate agent, or they really really loved the tree from day 1 to photo it? My feeling is the story "Was tidying up the (new?) garden, trimmed the tree, think I've messed up, can I save the tree"

I suspect that there have been ways found over the years to shorten the suffering - weaker medicines or 'forgetting' to take them, 'do not resuscitate' instructions (when doing so could give a longer life), and perhaps the odd overdose (which any doctor would never say "Do not take this whole packet, it will kill you painlessly, it is meant to last a month"). Reading the articles earlier, 2 doctors to sign it off a week apart, a judge to check it over, the patient takes the medicines, looks like plenty of checks in there so you have to be sure. Can't comment on the morality though, never been there but... I think individuals need some self determination of their fate.

Looks like the 'neighbour' also had a go at the hedge at the back on the right as well and left his ladders handy in the night shots. Garden furniture, the shelves, look to me like they have bedded in really really quickly in 3 weeks - but the last owner might have left them of course. Cynical me, but the story isn't quite adding up right.

Forgot to say, can I bring you anything?

Tuesdays? I am a Butler to the poor and insecure, but thanks for asking.

Daily Starmer! The unemployment figures are for July - September so just after the general election and well before any new policies are able to be effective... so posting is all bluster from a sour looser I suspect. 4.3% pretty much the same as peaks in Jun - Aug 2023 and Feb - Apr 2024... but I didn't see you whinging then... Way off the 12% peak of the Thatcher years, the 11% of the Major years, and 8% of the Clegg-Cameron coalition of course. Your pal, Blair saw unemployment rates drop (though they rose under Brown)

I got 'a man' to deal with one before I got the roofers in - I thought if they see a nest they'll be off and weeks before I can book them in again, Usually they will die off, cold, but occasionally will survive the winter.. particularly if they have a warm nest. The will need a purpose in life (a queen) usually, rare but some queens take over where the old one died and a nest can be reused the next year. In mine the new queens were good and took off into the wilds apart from 1 lazy queen each year who nested in the insulation and made a new nest in the loft. I know it is a cost but for peace of mind if I was getting work done again I'd get someone in to deal with it if I saw wasps in the loft. Depends on the loft, I'd consider long stick and prodding it - with a quick escape planned just in case and do to sure (stick, kids arrow, tennis ball....). Wasps also fly towards light, stick the loft light on and any wasps will fly round it - curious - and another test, put the light on come back 10 mins later and see. My 'man' spent more time telling me wasp stuff than he did squirting powder at them!!

Open forum... we can all look, all answer. 'Irrelevant' because.... you are banging on about them on another thread and am dropping subtle hints to keep the threads on track, not just spamming the world. Guess that went right over your head?
