Ah, but the weed as well... what a waste of time. Such a triviality. Fair play to you for no backchat though, you are right, it wouldn't have helped in any way.

Crikey!

Should be an absolute no-brainer then, they should have spun on their heels and f*cked right off. I'd be livid.

Anyway, moving on! Edit ...aaand another one...

Man.. what a waste of your own time!

Yeah the tile ones are great, they often have metal reinforced corners too. The ones I filled for a customer, above, arrived with hundreds of bare root laurels or other hedging in them. Can't beat a good free pallet!

Eh?

Anything with a slight question mark over it I save for burning outside... every six months or so I burn the accumulation of scrap pallet wood, and with it the bucket of skirting board offcuts, mitre saw debris, etc. Depending on the quantity of nails and the relative proportion of plywood, MDF, anything like that, the ash is then either kept, composted or scattered along a hedge.

Dang, turns out my best guess wasn't exactly spot on... it wasn't jilted lover Laura Loomer. Just another average Republican gun nut Never-Trumper. Again. So really, I have absolutely no idea what this post means, other than another indication that you live on a completely different planet to the rest of us.

Important information just come in... he was out campaigning somewhere between the 5th and 6th hole when the shots from X rang out. I guess Loomer was in a car... just a drive by shooting then... this would never have happened if we didn't allow women to drive!

Yeah, looks like Laura Loomer decided to go for a chink in the former-presidential armour and unloaded an AK on him from over 300m away. Info still coming in hazy for now of course, we'll see how the situation develops. now22.14 BST In response to a question on how the incident was allowed to happen, Palm Beach officials said: “So when somebody gets into the shrubbery, they’re pretty much outside and at this level that [Donald Trump] is at right now, he’s not the sitting president. If he was, we would have this entire golf course surrounded. But because he’s not, security is limited to the areas that the Secret Service deems possible. So I would imagine that the next time he comes to the golf course, there will probably be a little bit more people around the perimeter, but the Secret Service did exactly what they should have done. They provided exactly what the protection should have been, and their agents did a fantastic job.”

Oh, someone having another go? My money is on the jilted lover this time...

Maybe he was pining for the fjords.

Ya dozy bollox, why on Earth would he be showing his kids anything about child rape? What a stupid thing to say! Whatever point you are trying to make (and I have no freaking clue, because you seem particularly tedious today), that's a monumentally retarded way to go about it.

Shaggy ink cap, lawyer's wig... edible and delicious, but I think those ones might be past their prime!

Just picked a big tree's worth of apples as a family activity, takes about three times as long but it's important for the kiddlywinks to take ownership of the process. I'll be taking them to be juiced later this week (the apples, not the children), I'll bottle 25 litres of whatever we get and brew the rest into cider. But that isn't pottering, I hear you cry, that is targeted productivity! True, the real pottering I'm now at is this: I'm tidying the good shed, which was overdue, and I find a bottle of wood glue that is still liquid, but the cap and applicator nozzle needs a good clean. In the process, I get all ten fingers covered in the stuff. No bother, I've been covered with worse. But now, having dried and hardened, I can peel it off in great big flakes, and... behold! It's taking the ingrained black threads of compost residues from the cracks and wrinkles on my hands that are a feature all summer long, leaving fresh pink skin underneath. Wood glue deep cleanse. You'd pay 40 euro for this at a manicure salon.

"Our winter fuel payment goes into the holiday kitty" 1 day ago George Sandeman & Nabiha Ahmed BBC News Pensioner Jon Harvey, a retired police officer, is among those pensioners who say they do not need the winter fuel payment “The money is just for the holiday kitty,” says Jon Harvey of the £300 he was given every winter to help with heating bills. “I could also use it to go out for a nice meal.” The 80-year-old, like all pensioners in England and Wales, was given the winter fuel payment (WFP) automatically – until this week when the new Labour government voted to change the rules. Now only pensioners who qualify for certain benefits will receive it, an estimated 1.5 million people. Last winter 10.8 million people got the payment. Jon, a retired police officer, tells us “it’s about time” the rules changed as “there are people who need it more than me”. The policy, launched by the last Labour government in 1997, costs nearly £2bn per year but Sir Keir Starmer hopes the changes will save taxpayers £1.5bn. The prime minister says it could help plug the £22bn "black hole" he says exists in the national finances - but the Tories and charities fear it could leave some over-65s cold this winter. Beyond the political fray, the argument is nuanced - so the BBC spoke to pensioners to hear the full range of views. Some told us they rely on the payment for heating, while others said they spend the money on things like holidays, restaurants or their grandchildren. Pensioner Olwen Jones standing on a beach with sailing boats in the bay behind her, says she gives her WFP to charity Olwen Jones says she has been given the WFP for the last four years and gives it to charity Olwen Jones, 70, has been receiving the payment for the last four years since retiring from her job in IT. “I thought about giving it to my brother the last time I was given the payment, except he started getting it himself. Now, I give the money to charity,” she says. The payment acts as a bonus to the bank balance for Nick Plowright. “My mother, who died back in 2019, was also receiving it for many years. When she did, she'd tell us to give it to the grandchildren,” the 68-year-old explains. He adds: “The government needs to make the means testing rigorous, right minded and focused on helping those most in need. Above all, stop paying it to the millions who very obviously do not need it, like me.” Edit: Whoops, sorry, forgot to add a screenshot of the link!

Thanks Mick!

What's this please dudes?

I remember once, 2005 I think it was, my mother wanted to share a website with me. So she selected the whole website (not the URL), ctrl+c'd it, opened her Hotmail account, compose, and ctrl+v'd the whole website into the email, and sent it to me. That's what seeing your screengrabs and the relative health and signal strength of your phone reminds me of. Anyway, this is a piece of art I have titled "The News Through Dave's Screen".
