  1. Yeah, it sucks when you make a life for yourself somewhere and then circumstances change, so you have to up sticks and move.
  2. Be completely honest now... are you saying that you aren't a wanker? Because there's two kinds of people in the world...

      Hi Peds. I sent a separate message to apologise.
      It was not my intent to post that emoji. I was tapping away on my phone and my sausage fingers mistakenly hit that icon. I have removed it and replaced it with my original intended reaction.


      I am sorry if any offence has been caused as that was most definitely my intention.

      Not at all, not at all. Fat fingers happens all the time, they get us into all sorts of scrapes.

      To be fair, the eulogy was very well received, and laughs were had all around. Thank god, I was bricking it!

       

      Cheers Bob

  4. This kind of person should take up miniature railways as a hobby. They can have scale-model trees as small as they want then.
  5. Good morning. Funeral today for a mountain rescue/arborist/barman friend of mine. Never read a eulogy before. Hope it's appropriate. https://www.idonate.ie/crowdfunder/ockyjobfamilysupport

    The post

    Well, I mean, like... you've slept... with a lady.... What's it like?
  7. Basically everything is either a cabbage, a carrot, or a deadly nightshade.
  8. Space is limited for me, so I won't be growing day-to-day carrots, but I do intend to grow unnecessarily-large championship/comedy carrots in section of drainpipe filled with loose, sandy loam. As big as yer leg!
  9. This kind of farce is exactly the result you'd expect after the lies foisted on us by Big Carrot Seed, how could you expect anything less from the profiteering scumbags selling a bag of 300 seeds for 2 euro fifty. It's utter insanity. I made my peace with just having smaller fennels. Never get them supermarket sized. I think you have to be in Provence or Liguria for that.
  10. All right, how's this for controversy: I don't think it's worth the hassle to grow your own carrots. There. Fight me.
  11. Try a gentle exfoliating cleanser with salicylic acid, or a scrub based around brown sugar and apricot husk. Regarding a replacement, I think I've seen people just using cut-up old beach towels for the same application in those 30 second shorts with the annoying music on various social media platforms. Regarding the race to 1000: there needs to be much more contention, we can't just keep harping on about how great capillary mats are. I'm happy to play the role of devil's avocado if needs be.
  12. I know exactly how they feel.
  13. Unacceptable. Put all other business on hold until you've achieved optimum elevation. I demand a resolution.
  14. Well I suppose so, but if the current problem is not enough capillarisation, surely a little less gravity would help? Could you reach a happy medium... maybe try equi-level with the waterees?
  15. Now, I might be wrong here, but I think the capillary matting might be able to capillitate more effectively if the reservoirs are above the target audience. In the same way one would syphon water from a higher altitude to a lower one. You've then got gravity working in your favour, rather than against you.
  16. Thank God (capital G) for that, there's enough nignogs and wogs in hospitals as it is, we don't want their inferior darkie blood in there as well! Let's not dilute our white blood!
  17. Yeah, I'm agreeing with you. The God of Abraham is a massive prick and anyone who relies on Him as any sort of influence or guiding light in their day-to-day life needs their head examining. Load of nonsense. In this day and age, in the 21st century! Anyway, you never shared your thoughts on Project 2025?
  18. COLOSSAL irony. HUMONGOUS!
  19. Yeah, he's a right pillock that God of Abraham, so he is. Caused nothing but mischief!
  20. I simply don't understand why we ever even stopped hunting whales for the precious spermaceti they produce. It lit our homes, it is a renewable resource, it provided jobs for thousands of hard-working families, not that the wig-wearing aristocrats in their ivory towers would know anything about that (and don't even get me started on ivory... another renewable resource!), and we, as an island nation, have a rich history of harvesting the bounty of the seas. My family in particular go back generations in the whaling game, so I have an in-depth and unbiased wealth of knowledge on the subject. All these bloody retards saying that we are just going to run out of whales are off their bloody rockers, have you even seen how much ocean there is out there? It's bloody massive! We could never run out! This newfangled idea of electrification and these bloody stupid incandescent light bulbs are just a flash in the pan, a phase, a fleeting trend. It'll all be gone in a few years and all the sensible, pragmatic, common-sense-led people will realise that whale oil is the only realistic method we've got available to us for lighting our homes.

    ArbDogs? Pics!

    Yes, quite sure. She's been tested for all sorts, and is allergic to the most inconvenient of things. Particularly lamb, which she has a taste for unfortunately, and is the reason she was given away from her first home... a sheep farm. She had landed on her feet with my friend, a lifelong GSD owner. She gets binfuls of tripe and assorted butcher's waste, and mixes her own.

    I must dig out a picture of Baldric doing his civic duty a decade ago, picking up empty cans from a frozen lake. Stay tuned. Just found in the pet food shop... plant-based dog food! I have a friend with a German Shepherd who is allergic not only to most common meats found in dry food, but also the dust mites living in the factories and silos that they make it in. Feeding her is difficult and expensive. Maybe plant-based is the way forward...
  23. Ever done a ball in a cage tree stump?
  24. (...that’s odd... I could have sworn I saw another post in here...) Anyway, who wants to share their thoughts on Project 2025?
