  1. LDR and myself ran the two Hunting Life Lamping Competitions and I consider them a great success, but the abuse we got from people who either didn’t have a good enough dog to enter or were simply afraid to enter, left a sour taste in my mouth. So, I’ll pass; been there, done that and got the mental scars. Ive seen the nonsense that went on with MB and Miles, so , I wish you who do give it a go all the best, but I’ll just be an interested bystander, thanks. Cheers.
  2. “Old, wise, alpha, male” . Well, at least two of those descriptions are accurate ! LOL ! Cheers.
  3. Is he banned again ? It doesn’t look like it on his profile . Ive had decent discussions with him and no problems, probably because I don’t take the bait, but he does seem to revel in baiting certain people when they bite. As has been said…..don’t take the bait ! LOL ! Cheers.
  4. Trumps just told the world he hates the EU, and it’s personal; the Irish gave him planning permission to extend his resort in Ireland but the EU said it would take them SEVEN YEARS to allow it ! I think he holds a grudge ! LOL ! Cheers.
  5. In dark sheds, forced rhubarb. Cheers.
  6. Did you know West Yorkshire once produced 90% of the worlds rhubarb in what was known as the “Rhubarb Triangle “ ? Cheers.
  7. I’ve heard Hull has the best fertile soil . Cheers.
  8. Yeah Scotty ! Stop trying to hijack our onion thread ! Cheers.
  9. Some of last seasons onions; Cheers.
  10. When I grow so many I’ll lift them at various sizes, early ones are pickled then the big ones are done the same as your grandads. Cheers.
  11. 8’ x 4’ mate, standard size . Cheers.
  12. Home made compost in a raised onion bed. 140 onion sets just planted ; compost bins full of chicken, pheasant, duck, partridge carcasses , fish heads and bones, vegetable peelings, grass cuttings, egg shells , poultry guano, etc, and left for four or five years for the worms to do their work. I look forward to giving you periodic updates as to the progress of the onions ! Cheers.
  13. As far as I can ascertain, if you enter this country without the correct visa or permission, be that by plane, in the back of a lorry or by small boat, you are illegal. As soon as you claim asylum, you cease to be illegal and enter the asylum system, where if your claim is accepted, you stay, if your claim is denied, you are deported. But we are not deporting most failed asylum claimants, as they use the Human Rights laws , both the ECHR and our own version, that Blair enshrined into UK law. It used to be that if you flew into the UK without the correct papers, you were simply h
  14. I wish I was ! Since getting into allotments and growing I’ve found soil isn’t just soil , Ph value, acidic, alkaline, limey , sandy , clay, and every vegetable needs a different type ! Cheers.
  15. Whippets have won Crufts four times. Cheers.
  16. They are reporting that the Financial Times has an article about Musk maybe funding a new party. It’s looking like the right will be so fractured we will have a Labour government for the foreseeable future. Cheers.
  17. I get huge bags of soil conditioner from my local council depot. It’s garden and parks waste that is heated to a high degree and is completely sterile. It has no nutritional value, but when added to raised beds, it make the soil more friable and promotes vigorous root growth . I love this site ! Where else could you start talking about Londonon coursing and end up talking about friable loam ? LOL ! Cheers.
  18. Have to agree, Rory Stewart, and his pal Alister Campbell. Cheers.
  19. Did Farage “milk” any more or less than all the other troughers in the EU ? Did he get more than “commissioners” like Mandelson, Patten, the Kinnocks and their sons wife ? In my mind, he did the job I wanted him to do in the EU and eventually got us out, unlike others who would have liked to stay in and keep “milking” it until they died. Hate him…. Hate the rest of them, it’s only fair ! LOL ! Cheers.
  20. What ?The ships , or Hull ? Cheers.
  21. Yeah, the initial breaking news had it the other way round . Just coming out now that the container ship was carrying sodium cyanide, possibly a lot more to worry about that the AvGas. A developing situation. Cheers
  22. More news coming out, all 36 crew of the two vessels recovered, only one hospitalised. Cheers.
  23. Jet fuel A is basically paraffin. Shouldn’t be as damaging as crude oil. Looks like most of it is burning off. Still not good though. Cheers.
  24. He got Blofeld to use the S.M.E.R.S.H. satellite to alter the tankers course to cause the collision so he could blame Zelenskyy and claim all of Ukraine minerals as compensation, or something like that ! LOL ! Cheers.
  25. Evidently an American military supply tanker loaded with AvGas. Travelling at about 16 knots, (20 mph) and hit the container ship, sitting at anchor, amidships. 30 seriously injured up to now. The conspiracy theorists will be going into overdrive! Cheers.
