A little bit of patience and some understanding of the animal's "thinking" would've been more fruitful than scared people harassing it with vehicles. I see the officer responsible for assaulting it with a vehicle has been removed from duty Staines: Police driver who rammed cow removed from duty WWW.BBC.CO.UK A farmer whose runaway cow was rammed by police says the footage of the incident is a sorry sight.

Been working with a former prison officer recently, been hearing some stories and the lingo is in my head.

Otherwise known as a prison shank!

All good here thanks Les.

Keep telling you the bagpipes don't need fixed Les, they're meant to sound like that!

Morning all. Been another wet night, be wet again today. It's getting to be boring now. Only plan is breakfast with friends later, then it'll be avoid the rain! Have a good one folks.

Think Will's idea sounds a bit less invasive, keep the wax strips on the subs bench for now. The method Les suggested would be preferable for obvious reasons but I've more chance of training a colony of ants to dig it out for me!

Wonder if they'd get right into the little holes? A younger me, keen to impress a new love, offered to help her with the wax strips, thought it'd be all romantic and bonding. It was more difficult than I anticipated and I made a right arse of it. At the point I had strips stuck to me, the floor and her mother's dog, she declared these things aren't cheap and it was decided she'd do it herself in future.

Good idea Will, that could be a winner.

This week's good run has ended. Wordle 1,092 6/6 ⬜🟨⬜⬜⬜ 🟨⬜⬜🟨⬜ ⬜🟩🟩⬜⬜ ⬜🟩🟩⬜⬜ ⬜🟩🟩⬜🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 There's something about a working day where I'm up early and have to get on with stuff that seems to suit me, the speed wordler approach. Being relaxed and having more time in hand just doesn't do me any good.

Chance would be a fine thing! It'll help if any suggestions were available from a shop.

I've got Bluetooth earbuds that are great, or were great, until the gunk built up in them. Now I barely get volume in the left which is apparently due to the common issue of ear gunk filling the speaker holes. They recommend brushing with a soft brush which I tried and very slight improvement. Someone suggested hot glue, let it set and peel off but not sure if it might risk damage. Can anyone suggest a way to clean them?

On that day everyone will get it in one attempt then we start on 6 letter words?

He's just less constipated than you Mark, hasn't got hours on the bog every morning to dwell on it! Agree with the sentiment though, I'd rather fail on my own merit than have a hollow triumph every day. Found it really hard to begin with but persevere, the brain learns and you get to enjoy it.

I can't remember Sime. Tend to forget the word quite quickly after doing it. Wordle 1,090 3/6 ⬜⬜⬜🟩🟩 ⬜⬜🟨🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

Morning all. Don't know what was wrong with the weather yesterday, t-shirt all day and a couple of times my skin leaked, strange experience but I enjoyed it! Have a good day folks.

His attempt at a hardship story didn't even manage to compete with Starmer's "got the phone cut off once"! Think it plays even worse considering his D Day veterans snub, a handful of people that did know hardship.

And I'm wondering whether to go down a certain well worn road with this once more... Sod it. So the assumption is he's being Koi based on the fact he's not been Carping on about it as much, I think more likely Eel have got on his Pike in boredom of it all, or Herring-ing around a few mates for a chat about stuff instead, Shoally we'll find out soon.

Not a word that readily came to mind for me today.

Meetings with remarkable trees, the Arbtalk version
Doug Tait replied to Steve Bullman's topic in Picture Forum
Went to meet a couple of remarkable trees yesterday at Roslin Glen near Edinburgh. Two ancient Sweet Chestnuts. Took a bit of finding but once located just fantastic. Reckoned to be 400-500yrs old. Complete with Ferns, Birch and Rowan growing on them and some iron bands around historical hazard beams they looked in good spirits. Few better pics on this blog... Sweet Chestnuts of Roslin | breathofgreenair BREATHOFGREENAIR.COM Deep in the old woods of Roslin Valley there live two very ancient tree ents. In the green shaded light of the summer woods...
