The Hornet's Nest

Anyone know where I can get one of these for my farm?

 

Conjures up a picture of mad big birds chasing Leo round a field

 

What is that?

Leon you say you are computer blind but that is a very good bit of photoshop editing.

 

Leo, you can't have my wife before makeup in the morning for your farm!!!!!

Well 606 is really running down now, they have taken the link from the Championship page now!?! RIP 606!

 

Afternoon all! Hmm, well, the game of squash went out the window because the weather was too lovely so we sat in a pub garden instead. Not exactly going to help the fitness, sooo, i'm off for a walk in a bit, just a little one though, the big one is on Friday, aiming for 17+ miles this week. Just thought i'd pop in for a quick hello before i go...anything to stall the process! lol View attachment 1863

 

Any excuse, hey

Hmmm, maybe time for a

 

i thought they'd done that a while back...maybe not lol

 

i dread to think what's in that cup Salisbury lol

 

Me too.... but it's good

 

Poison?

 

Some call it poison... Some would call it alcohol

 

Found a book lying around the house this morning called 'Be Your Own Lawn Expert' by Dr D G Hessayan (do you need a doctorate to advise people about their lawns?). When new, it cost 20p.

So, leafing through it after sitting for a couple of hours in the garden I got to the bit about things to do in April and it suggested raking the lawn was vital for its future health. How hard could that be? I fetched a rake from the garage and began scraping away. It felt quite gratifying to begin with...plenty of moss emerging, brushed into heaps and placed in the council's green bag. Twenty minutes in, sweating, back feeling it a little, sitting down for a cold beer I surveyed the extent of my new garden and decided I had completed about 2% of the whole.

Now I don't know this Dr Hessayon who, if he's still in the land of the living, may be a thoroughly decent chap, but I'd bet a great deal on one thing...he never raked his own lawn!

 

Theo - buy a scarifyer - you can fit them to a lot of lawnmowers and it takes the pain out of it

 

Just recovering after a hard day out in the sun. A light and fruity seemed to be a good choice for replacing fluids.

Just been reading some comments from people who needed to tighten their belts. It seems that £85 per month will not be going to Sky in several cases. Some had got rid of it altogether.

One person asked a good question. If it comes down to watching football on TV or spending the money on watching your team, which would you choose?

 

No choice as far as I am concerned - I always preferred to go to a live game with atmosphere rather than watch on telly - I go and watch Carmarthen locally - with a couple of hundred other fans just to "be there" but even when my reserve side Spurs or England are on telly I often can't be bothered to watch them - Watford I am afriad I do watch if I can on telly - but that is partly as I now have withdrawal symptoms

 

Might look into a scarifier, Leo....can it scare off cats and starlings as well?

As for live football v TV...it's as easy a choice as between fillet steak and three-year-old horsemeat.

 

Yes - horsemeat is hard to beat if you're French
