  1. No no, just a regular feral mog. Cats punch well above their weight though, I'd say each kilo of cat, when pushed, can easily win against, say, 15kg of human. Anyway, even though I took three canine teeth to the knuckle, I still won because I've still got my balls. All it cost me was (is, ongoing) two or three rounds of surgery, a week in hospital, and several hundred euro. Winner!
  2. I won a fight against a cat.
  3. Sorry poppet, didn't mean to confuse you.
  4. That explains why all the doctors are legless.
  5. ...but I think this one must be broken. Because there's bloody loads around here.
  6. Righto, you only support the decade and a half (or longer) of abuse, neglect, and torture of an unwanted child by a parent ill-equipped and poorly supported to raise it. Got it. 👍
  7. And yet... you oppose abortion.
  8. I'm disappointed with the lack of updates in this thread. Is there anyone local to the guy who can see how he's getting on?
  9. Christ, what a ****************ing dinosaur. Promiscuity? I bet you start gnashing your teeth whenever a young filly shows a bit of ankle. Here's a solution... mandatory vasectomy for all males of sperm-bearing age. Reversible once you've got your life together and decided you can raise a child. What's that you say? My body, my choice? Keep your hands off my testicles?
  10. I am the least surprised I've ever been right now.
  11. Great. How many fruits have you been getting from it? I'll be building a geodesic dome one day and filling it with lemon trees.
  12. How old is this tree? Shop bought, or grown from seed? I've a 4 year old tree from seed that I'm waiting patiently for.
  13. Just do as the Romans did (when they introduced the blasted plant all over Europe), and embrace it as a vegetable. Pick it young, though, as when it has started to flower, it'll make you shit your guts out. God knows why they liked to eat it. Strange bunch.
  14. Good effort, make sure you report on all of your progress here, because you've obviously got an attentive audience now. Can I ask what kind of shape you are hoping to achieve in the end? Do you want them all on the ground, do you want to keep them at a certain height? If you are keeping them in some form or another, what do you hope for them to look like in a few years time?
  15. There are, but at least they aren't laurel. Disgusting plant. Waste of space, waste of soil. They are a beautiful tree. I love orcas too, but I'd rather see them out in the open ocean, and not at Sea World.
  16. Here you go. Welcome to your future!
  17. A leylandii out in the middle of nowhere, allowed to do its own thing, is a beautiful thing. Squashed up against someone's house like that is just plain cruel, and five of them... the poor things. You won't maintain them, they will escape, and someone will have to pay to remove them when they become a problem (if someone could post a link to the other current thread where this is being discussed, that'd be great). Seems okay though, looks like yours are dying, so problem solved. Get rid of them, and replant with something more suitable to the location.
  18. Nice shed there. Are you particularly attached to it?
  19. You want a rear handle, a Silky saw, and the hire of a big wood chipper for three days once you've got it on the ground. Edit: Are you getting rid of them altogether, or just taking the tops off? You might squeeze it all through the chipper in a day if you are fairly healthy.
  20. This is my advice for most vegetables, but try fermenting them. Chopped stems, spring onions, chilli and garlic, fermented for a few weeks with 3% weight of salt, makes great fried rice or noodles; also an incredible bubble and squeak with leftover potatoes and a fried egg on top.
  21. It's also illegal to burn plastic waste, if we feel like getting hung up on a point of law.
  22. Do you know what, you could be right. You win this round, Mandy! Anyway, I'd be looking at using a mix of old cooking oil and beeswax... the dark brown stuff you harvest from 4-year-old brood comb that isn't fit for much else, not the clean yellow stuff. This might not work for people without bees.
  23. You could... buy them at the same time? Or... you could just not be contrarian for the sake of it.

    Thistle spuds

    That looks like a flipping great lopper.
  25. I got a Cutting Edge Trojan 360 or something as a backup to my Zubat 330 because it was 50% off on FR Jones; it works, but it's pure shite compared to the Silky. I'd get another cheap one again, but I'd definitely not pay full price for one. I'd put the money towards another Silky.
