  1. Would baking soda and acid work, instead of going the yeasted route?
  2. Don't forget to tell them that as well, not just us.

    Well yeah, he did, a colleague on the mountain rescue team, he bounced down the spicy side of one of our mountains and didn't enjoy the ride, we went up there and scraped him off the rocks and carried him down. Bit shit, but there you go. Wife had died two months previous after six years with cancer, leaving the three kids as orphans. So, that God fella... bit of a c*nt really, isn't he? Nice dog, anyway. Hugely affectionate. I start to worry that no-one has even told him that Ocky isn't coming back.
  4. You're just upset that you haven't been invited to the team meetings in our tree house.

    3 feet of springy. Open-ish space, only gorse to snag, no major problems. A bit of a disagreement over navigation when the six horses took an interest, but they worked it out quick enough, thankfully. Poor wee sausage. His owner, my friend, died suddenly not long ago. I'm minding him whilst his kids are out of the country for the week.

    He's not being thick, he knows how good he looks. I've accidentally taken on a foxhound for the week. He's a fairly high-energy sort of chap, so I've tied him to my 6 month border collie, until I'm sure enough of his behaviour and recall. That should tire them both out well enough. His name is Loki. I also have a cat named Loki, but I don't think it'll cause too much confusion, and anyone who knows cats will understand.
  7. You are damn right there boss, we sure got put in our place! My buttocks are still red raw from the paddling you gave us! I think...? Edit Anyway, here's some other news. Hopefully there's still a positive outcome possible for some of the missing 🙏 Britons and Americans among missing after yacht sinks off Sicily in storm | Italy | The Guardian WWW.THEGUARDIAN.COM Fifteen rescued from sailing boat and seven still missing as divers try to reach sunken hull
  8. Kind of disappointed everyone just glossed over the whet/sharp/knife line of punnery. I know it isn't fish, but the opportunity is right there.
  9. I just think with some sharp decision making we could cut a lot of the hatred out of society. It'd be knife to see.
  10. See someone shoplifting baby formula or sliced bread? No you didn't.
  11. Jeez, that sounds like quite a nice idea, really. Be good to give it a go 👍

    Any work

    Sounds like you've got your head in the right place, something will turn up sooner or later. Don't do the offering to work for free though, that's shite. If it's work, it's work, and you should be paid for it. If you aren't worth it, you just won't be asked back, but don't sell yourself short from the get-go.
  13. The figures for how many settle along the way would be interesting to see. I suspect there's a good few lingering around Paris and Marseille and such. And although Paris is lovely, in its own way, I wouldn't want to live there either. I'd probably press on further north too.
  14. I'd say encouraging rape and sexual abuse is a fairly harmful ideology in any sane person's mind, so I guess we can start there? It's still waaay at the top of that slippery slope you speak of, and I don't really think we need to go sliding too far down it to be honest. Definitely for the rapey stuff, yeah. I understand what point you are trying to make though, and yeah, obviously both sides are as bad as each other, but I don't think we'd need to start locking people up for saying such radical leftist ideas as giving free school meals to children, or providing basic housing and drug addiction services to homeless people, no questions asked. But as we all know, such dangerous socialist dreams as these can easily lead to re-education camps for the bourgeoisie and purges for non-party-thinking sorts of behaviour. But we should definitely keep an eye on it, as you say 👍
  15. That's great news! He needed corking a loong time ago. Immeasurable damage he's done to young lads. My wife has come home on numerous occasions complaining about the number of weirdo little teenage pricks in her classes parroting his toxic sludge. She nips it in the bud whenever she can, but it'd be best treated at the roots.
  16. That's exactly it, I'm more than happy for a slight drop in power for the lack of fumes.
  17. Great looking breakfast bread. Back in the sourdough days (thanks, covid!) I often used my discard for making crumpets or pikelets. Tricky to do well in numbers for the whole family, but great for a quick solo brekkie.
  18. Mate, take this shitty nappy with you and fu*k off back to the covid thread where you belong.
  19. Blah blah blahhhh
  20. Friends of mine back in France did that with their first kid too, toilet trained at a year. She didn't work, and could dedicate the time to it. Didn't have the time available for the second kid, so it was back to nappies, but when the time came, he was potty trained in about 2 weeks. Great to see. For the record, they are both stark raving socialists.
  21. Calm down dear, you aren't rich. Edit "More taxation of the rich because of bad parenting, same old left bs" Anyway, I have nothing to base this on other than my own classist prejudices (but we all like to indulge in those, don't we?), but I doubt it's the Guardian-reading, Green-voting, latest-batch-of-organic-home-made-granola-eating lefties that are failing to teach their kids not to shit their own pants, I kind of get the feeling that it'd be mostly Rupert Murdoch's great unwashed army of Sun readers (and the like) who are having difficulty with that most basic of tasks. So in my mind, at least, this is a right wing problem of their own making that us pansy pinko liberal lefties are compassionate enough to give a flying *uck about because it seems the decent thing to do. Disagree? Find some facts and figures that prove me wrong, then stuff them down the back of your trousers to soak up some of the shite you seem to leak from every orifice. It's not much, but it'll help.
  22. Blah blah blah blah blah.
  23. I have the 86, and I love it for what it is, but I just don't do all-day big long hedges. There are moments when I wish it had just a little bit more oomph, but it's not often. It depends what kind of hedge you'd ask it to tackle, really. I really don't want to talk it down because, again, I love mine, but I can imagine an employee or a subbie being handed one on a job site and feeling... underwhelmed. As for build quality, mine is holding up fine after... 2 years now I think, good as new, but I don't exactly use it as a daily driver. But it's light, it's long, you can throw it around all day (if you have another battery on charge), and as long as the hedge hasn't actually escaped and needs burning down altogether, it does just grand.
  24. The rule was no nappies from age 3 for the montessori my kids went to, and self-toileting officially, but I think they probably helped out when needed. The solution? I don't know, maybe stick all the failed children in toilet training education camps, round up the parents and rub their noses in it then sterilise them... Or I suppose make sure there are enough services available for new parents to ensure they are on track, and tax the rich to pay for it.
