... all the firewood is safely stowed away. :) As a special "bonus" I deconstructed the large palletised crate it all came in and sawed that up for kindling. 3 full sacks of kindling that I don't have to buy. 👍 Went out for a quick blast in...

Yer. Watched the vid. The plane seemed to be in a normal take-off attitude. Wondering how many may have survived and if it was a bird-strike. It crashed on to a building where medics live as well. :(:(:( Sympathies to all who are bereaved and...

Used these --- nematodes. Thanks for that. I have heard of nematodes although uncertain as to their effectiveness. A good gardener round here disapproves of them, can't remember why, so we never took it any further.

I'd bargain with them! Get this done and you can have a burger....... Kids'll do anything for a burger!!!!

You need to fly a helicopter in the Falklands. After that you don't sweat EVER, allegedly.

Good lord, some of you folks are knowledgeabububble!:)

OK, so is it the sweat band? Huh, I've tried every sweat band under the sun, literally, and none of them work for more than 5 minutes. I wear bandanas, folded into a triangle, as they then absorb the sweat from the baldest part of my head, they...

Edit got it now!!
