Kids of 15 have no concept of mortality,tell them they could die of lung cancer in the future if they smoke means diddly-squat,they have no concept of long term future,kids experiment,its how we learn,i remember my kid burnt his lip in a restaurant after putting his lip on a steak sizzler hotplate to see if it really was hot,i laughed my socks off,he had big tears in his eyes but he learnt a lesson.Your sis is just learning life-lessons,its natural.

A decent brush cutter is better, large Shtil FS400 or similar. A pedestrian flail will get in there. Scagg http://www.rtmachinery.co.uk/products-scag.htm , Hayter Condor or may be there is a modern equivalent. Or as said a goat or/then a pig, yummy. I have a strimmer,a stihl 560 knocks the biggest patch down with a brushcutter on it.

Surprised Dianne Abbott hasnt got one for servicing jeremy Corby,one or two have value as some individuals really deserve recognition,the rest are plastic.

Thanks Colombo,i think the steroids and counselling are also part of the transformation.

Theres an interesting article in the current shooting news about scottish wildcats breeding with domestics and becoming diluted,the highlands are a true wilderness,no reason a larger than average moggie cant roam relatively freely up there,but down in england with its population density,its rail and road arteries dissecting the place,no,there are no breeding or populations of cougar,lynx,leopard or similar.

Never seen it mate,the pinoys all seem shit scared of venemous snakes,i had one in the shed once,climbed up onto the racks to take a pic and it moved,rearing up,the guys who were in the shed looking at it from a distance all ran leaving me and the snake alone,you might be on about thailand,lot of snake hunters there,all the stray dogs in the philippines wouldnt last 2 minutes however useful,they end up on the plate.

They are the largest venemous snake in the world,impressive in real life,we used to get them in the garden in the philippines as the land backed onto bamboo and scrub.
