Looks like a nice wedding.

That's my worry. Peace be with you, brother.

Just as an FYI, seeing as you've mentioned that you have 6 kids of your own, and with the LGBTQ+ community totalling around 9% of the global population, it definitely isn't certain that one of your own will join the club, but the odds aren't looking good for you. Fingers crossed, if the day ever comes, you'll be able to drag your mindset out of whatever bronze age dungeon it was forged in and into the light of the 21st century. The recent episode concerning Rafael Cruz and his poor daughter spring to mind. Anyway. On with the day.

Top craic dude. More people should give it a go. If they weren't scared of what it might awaken...

Methinks the ladyboy doth protest too much!

Don't worry guvnor, secret's safe with me 👀

I thought you didn't care what hand people write with, but since you asked. I've been known to wear a dress on occasion in my younger days, mostly at music festivals or around Mardi Gras. I've found that my cracking pins and nice tight buns, when viewed from behind, followed by the discovery of a beard when viewed from the front, can lead to some amusing encounters for all concerned. Want to see a picture, you saucy devil? Anyway, you know how some of the most vehemently-homophobic politicians and pundits are, quite frequently it seems, discovered gobbling cock in public toilets or the like? How it's often a front for their own internalised homosexuality? If you want to wear a nice pair of heels and schlap on a bit of lippy mate, go for it. No-one will mind. Except people like you.

Hard to find anywhere comfy on a building site, but dogs will do their best.

It's because we are all very sinister.

That's a great question.

I just think it's funny how you can't imagine there being any scope for gender variation on a planet with 8 billion humans on it. People like yourself also seem stuck on the idea that gender fluidity is a modern phenomenon, a recent trend brought about by too many of us washing our hands or eating too many lentils or other girly habits like that, when it has actually been a regular feature among our species since the dawn of history, and as far as we can assume from observing similar behaviours across pretty much every other species on the planet, since the very origins of life on Earth itself. There has always been a percentage of people who seem to turn out a bit different to the norm, in varying degrees, and always will be. The only thing that changes is how a society chooses to perceive and tolerate the individuals who are born different, and how they treat them... either with electro-shock therapy, death by hanging, rabid persecution, that sort of thing; or with a friendly handshake and an acceptance of the various ways they might benefit society. Some of history's most intriguing stories have come from such people. Now, I'm left handed (except for chainsaws). I assume you are right handed. I'm curious, where do you stand on the concept of ambidextrous people? Hang on, no, that's a lie. I'm not curious at all. I don't give a tinker's cuss for you or your inconsequential opinion.

Bit like the space between your ears.

Chilly enough out here on the west coast, not much of a thaw planned until the rain at the weekend.

Dust bath for the hens, scattered along the hedge, and tossed through the finished compost heap as it ages, not onto the active pile. I get the feeling that the creepy crawlies aren't keen on big loads of ash. My bloody mother-in-law cleaned out the fireplace yesterday and removed the bed of ash from the hearth, not just the space underneath. She didn't quite hoover it, but almost. The fire is not burning happily today. Tomorrow I'm going to tip a load from the ash bucket back into the fireplace and tamp it down.

It's funny listening to you two.

Nah, that's bollocks. You've got a responsibility to tell people who haven't got a f*cking clue exactly what's wrong with their ideas and why they should be ashamed of themselves for wanting it. The transformation between the two pics above is absolutely criminal, you should be mortified that you helped facilitate it, and the client needs a solid smack over the head with a loy spade. Disgusting.

Try putting a tire on your (waist height) chopping block. Swap the impact for a nice soft bounce. Also catches your splits and keeps them in place, no bending over to gather them up.

Dick pics, apparently. A form of revenge porn. Not checked the details myself because I can't see past my woke leftist blinkers. Plus it's all pretty dull. Speaking of blinkers, how can a rooster turn into a jockey? I know they've got spurs, but...

Sell just 7 trees a day... 450 x 365 = upwards of 160,000 per year!

I run Aspen because I like the way it smells.

I might be a while, I'll keep you posted...

Just dig a trench instead buddy.

That reminds me... does anyone know if blackthorn seeds are still viable after 12 months in a bottle of gin? Seems a shame to waste them...

I just think it's a shame that hedges across most of Ireland are mown, rather than trimmed, with no opportunity given to young trees to grow up and replace those lost to storms or die back. There needs to be a selection made for succession, and any tree lucky enough to be chosen could be protected with a length of steel tube, roadsign style, with a small sign on top to prevent accidental mowing. A hedgerow is a fine thing, especially when managed sympathetically... and not just mown into the ground.

I reckon a length of steel tube is more likely to protect from the flail... Tempted to hide a few lengths of scrap tube I have in local hedges to protect them in cutting season.
