I've got the same problem. I fully intend, in the future, to grow all my own dog food, through chickens, eggs, rabbits, and vegetables. Plus roadkill, any spare bits of venison that come my way, that sort of thing. I got an interesting bit of roadkill yesterday, something in the opposite lane had struck this magnificent beast no more than 30 seconds before we rounded the corner, it was still flapping about and feathers floating around in the breeze, but by the time I'd pulled in and ran back to it, it was properly dead. Now if we had been driving the other way, back home after a couple of days camping, I'd be taking it apart carefully and we'd have it for dinner ourselves... probably in a creamy fricassee with mushrooms and white wine... but without the time or inclination on the outward-bound leg of the journey, it was destined for the dogs' dinner instead. Except... after being quickly peeled, ripped in half, and guts removed (we are on a campsite right now, I didn’t want the dogs throwing feathers and the gooey bits around, scaring the neighbours), the boys sniffed it for a bit, turned to look at me, then walked away. It's more often than not the case when I give them one of the spare chickens at home, too... it's confusing, and quite frustrating. They each get a quarter of a raw shop-bought chicken every day, which they destroy with gusto, plus an egg, and they get topped up with cereal as needed. But when I try and give them one of our home-grown birds, they turn their noses up at it until I've poached it gently with a kettle of water in one of their dinner bowls. Which doesn't really gel with my future intentions to grow all of our own dog food. So anyway, this beautiful free-range guinea fowl, which would have been absolutely freaking delicious, is now sat there ignored by two hungry dogs. I'm going to make a little fire as soon as we get home and throw the carcass onto it, and we'll see if they prefer wood fire roasted pintade fermier instead. But I'm not happy about the situation.

That's shite. I wonder if the crew made it out. I saw something recently about how many Bradleys Ukraine has been losing, but it isn't as big a deal as it could be... because the crews generally have a good level of survivability. And a decent Bradley crew is a lot harder to replace than the vehicle itself.

Results inconclusive, further research required

Bit late for this thread I guess? Well our frogspawn hatched, and many other pockets across the hillside. Hundreds of them out and about.

Apparently, according to wherever the leaks in his inner circle come from, he is indeed suffering from some kind of PTSD. I'll post a link the next time I see a relevant headline. Got to be honest here... I'm finding it really difficult to have any sympathy for the guy, and I hope it's playing merry hell with his sleep cycle.

I mean the whole package, lake and all. The log cabin would be something of an afterthought, and you could even sub it to yer man Dan. How long did it take start to finish, is it the sort of thing you could do a quote for someone? Maybe it'd never be worth your time, I don't know. But you know the sort of thing the fabulously wealthy are happy to spunk their cash away on.

Good god man, that's fantastic. Have you ever considered offering that sort of thing to the fabulously wealthy? They'd pay through the nose for it.

I think most puppaccinos (puppaccini?) are just a little paper cup of whipped cream. I've got a 6mo border collie here to experiment on though, let me see what a double espresso does to him.

Venison toastie for breakfast Didn't get any pictures of the main event, but it was pasta with red pepper and walnut sauce, seaweed butter green vegetables, salad leaves, and pan-fried venison with a quick pan scrapings and carving juices dressing of cider vinegar, damson chutney, and butter; a couple of nights ago. Most of the venison got eaten, bit there were enough shreds left over to put into a toastie with a cheese mix, red onion, and hot sauce.

Google Maps MAPS.APP.GOO.GL The reviews are all over the place, I could waste days rummaging around. "2/5 Toilet was OK, they refused to refuel my Abrams." ‘Nice shopping centre but there wasn’t enough space in the parking lot for a tank that’s why 4 stars’ I think a lot of them will be from randomers on the Internet, but there's a lot of real content from "local guides" with pictures up too. The Internet is a wild ride, man.

I'd give you a fiver for it right now, or a tenner cleaned and seasoned.

Many independent coffee shops offer the puppuccino these days. Kinda feel as though you should too.

Big one, is it? My son spilled a cup of tea down himself when he was younger, we went in daily, then two-daily for about 2 weeks. He got another hospital teddy to add to his collection though, so it's not all bad. We are at three now, and have stopped accepting them... we are worried that it's starting to reflect badly on our parenting skills. If you ask nicely, I'm sure they'll give you a teddy as well 👍 Edit: raining here today, but the kids are at Nana's (nice and safe there!) so we might just about finish planting the orchard and fruit patch before we have to be responsible adults again.

No experience necessary, pay dependent on km dug before surrendering to Ukraine.

I've not heard of anything from those airfields, but one su34 shot out of the sky in Kursk apparently! Ukraine 'shoots down £28m Su-34 bomber inside Russia' during Kursk attack INEWS.CO.UK Ukraine claims to be in control of about 1,000 square kilometres of the Kursk region Lovely stuff.

Ah it's not all big ticket leading item heavy news we get these days, sometimes we get silly little stories like Liz Truss being photobombed by a lettuce banner at her... umm... pro-Trump event... I guess she has to bring home the bacon somehow, might as well do it in the lucrative market of grifting off the right... I can't find a video of it right now, but her plaintive little "That's not funny..." does make the spectacle that little bit funnier.

Also great to see: "Russian forces are rapidly digging a network of trenches in Kursk Oblast, with only one catch: The trenches are 45km behind the border. Russian forces have been developing a trench network that, if fallen back to, would cede Ukraine a massive amount of territory." Important not to get our hopes up, but if they can push a little bit deeper they start to threaten a crucial railhead and a nuclear power plant. Hon the lads! From twitter

Love it. Great to see.

His what? Edit: ah, no, that's not fair, is it. He's still got loads of them left. Still... what a pillock!

If you are already teasing out each bit... you can just remove it instead.
