As long as the logs are off the ground and there's decent airflow that shouldn't be a problem.

That's just a screen grab and EASILY doctored. Post all 1.7 million links or you are LYING, the lowest thing a man can do.

Yeah Steve-In-Pee, you have NO PROOF that Trump is wholly unsuitable to be the most powerful man on the planet again.

I imagine that was more intended to mean that you should only bring out your weapon when you absolutely have to use it, and not just wave it around willy-nilly, rather than every time you draw your blade you have to ice someone. As in try negotiations, discussion, diplomacy, etc. before resorting to the nuclear option.

That is absolutely laughable. What world is that cartoonist living in.

Tip it onto the front, prop the lid open, stick a mattress and a blanket in it... boom, one less homeless person. If we all chip in a bin or two we can solve this problem once and for all!

Tax the rich. Might not help with the rain, though.

Maybe you need a nice thick layer of mulch.

Piece them all together, maybe it spells out a message from Them.

Loads in Iran too.

Hmm. I'll put it on the maybe pile...

I thought it was my turn this decade.

Well it kills every other insect that goes swimming in it, opens their breathing tubes and they drown.

Stash them until Christmas, drill a few wide holes, stick a few tea lights in then, sell for a tenner each at whatever little shed market you've nearby. Add sprigs of Holly leaf and a berry or two and charge fifteen.

It doesn't these days, and that's why I'm wondering if they've changed the recipe. Because washing your hair in fairy liquid kills the lice, and doesn't cost €15 per bottle.

A poplar that needs that big a snip should be taken down to the ground, absolutely. Might as well save the chunk with habitat in it though, and as it rots, it'll house a whole succession of beasties. And when it falls apart and needs to be removed, that's another day's work for someone 👍

Terrible, aren't we.

That's why it's such a pain in the hole, every time they get treated it's all bedding, all teddies, all people... but they'll still bring them home again a month later, they just swap them around at school. There really needs to be an announced date for every child in the school to have treatment, all on the same date, and then you might get a few more months of freedom before they find a different population at afterschool sports or a camp or whatever, but no parent wants to step up and start the conversation... because obviously, he who smelled it dealt it. Might see if my neighbour can dunk my two the next time he dips his flock, anyway.

Maybe some of the more distinguished among ye might be able to offer a perspective. Being a smelly hippy, I'm completely opposed to the use of any kind of poison unless it benefits me directly, so naturally I have no problem with blasting the children with whatever is recommended at the chemist to remove the occasional population of lice they bring home from school. But honestly, none of the products we've tried seem to do a thing, they kill the creature themselves but any eggs remain viable, and have to be combed out manually. Which really isn't any different to using Fairy Liquid, which will also kill the beastie, but is a hell of a lot cheaper. Here's the question for you ancient ones... did they change the recipe at some point in the last few decades? Back in the good old days when men were men and transsexuals hadn't been invented yet, was there something else available to eradicate any unwanted lifeforms from your child's scalp? Is this another thing that us smelly hippies have ruined for everyone? To be honest, the only reference I'm going on is reading old Beano comics from the 70s, in which the treatment of head lice seemed to be a much more chemicals-and-PPE-laden experience. Maybe I'm wrong, maybe they've always been treated with patchouli and ylang-ylang and hoodoo. I'm going to start rubbing diatomaceous earth into their hair like I do with the chickens, that should sort them out...

I've got a growing pile of bits of wood with old pruning wounds and rot pockets that I'll be turning into habitat and reinstalling up in trees. I'll have to add an additional roof to some pieces in an effort to keep water out. Probably drill a few drainage holes too. Wedged into crotches with a minimal bit of string, maybe a wooden peg or two, would be the way I'd go if they are unlikely to fall on any traffic below, but I'd be going for belts and braces (literally) if there's any chance of an innocent bystander getting a birdhouse to the brain. In a similar vein, I found this lovely little nest earlier today. No residents this year.

Some cuts of meat are definitely better cold, that's a decent suggestion. Especially leaner cuts. Topside of beef, fillet of pork. It'll probably be thin sliced and tucked into tacos at some point.

Hi Hangolup, thanks for the comment. Could you tell me a rough estimate for a decent sized beech delivered to OP's location?

Lol... same old story, another self-hating closeted gay man living a lie, role-playing as a homophobic fascist so that the other self-hating closeted homophobic fascists will like him.

Well that's not the spirit.
