I'm not willing to post on a forum where someone refers to the British as "a malignant nation".

Well said guys

And presumably all this work is being done in all the heat. They make 'em tough in your neck of the woods.

No point in waiting for the heat to abate

Mr V out there with them, me shouting from inside: "Get her hat on, white boy!"

I have. Didn't help.

Heero, since you often talk about your work on here, could you perhaps help me with a quirk my PC has?

I get interference (buzzing and blipping) when I watch a You Tube vid. At one time even if I just listened to something off the laptop alone it would do it so long as I was connected to the net.

It's a pain. Can you suggest any reasons why it's happening?

I noticed Meghan wearing black or dark colours nearing this after the "Me Too" brigade began turning up in black at every opportunity. It's a feminist anti-man thing mostly and if it's good for business and heightens the profile, they all start doing it.

Meghan wears black to make a statement against chauvinism. They all do in that American fraternity and have been for a while. She posts monochrome photos of her family to train the people to be colour blind. She married Harry to change the world and although the gullible tits elsewhere are delighted she has come to Canada, the Brits have turned against her. They are smart. They are sticking with their Queen. The Queen should have instantly stripped both of them of their titles. Harry would then have to live as he has constantly says he wants to, as an ordinary human, or he divorces the little gold digger and returns to the Palace, cap in hand.

Mr V plans it all out in detail beforehand. I found him out there one night at ten o'clock, designing things and drawing them out on paper. He's an engineer. Everything tends to be precision planned with strength capability built in.

Luckily I'm not the one planning it

Grass and some planting. We think the grass may grow better if it's in smaller quantities and next to paving and brick. It tends to get tatty and die off in large dry spaces.

We had some torrential rain recently and even with just the foundations of the paved oblong in place, the runoff was diverted from going into the pond and taking mud with it and it ran down the outer edge of the retaining paving wall instead and off to join its mates that come under the garden walls from the top of the street. Things were getting dire in that department and the tree was being gouged out and the top soil was flowing away.

Percy the builder has laid another set of foundations for the walkway, which will have three stepped levels to the paving at the pond. He will build retaining walls next and then filling and top level paving decoration will be done.

They are gorgeous!

Most of them look unhealthy and pasty to me.

Not surprising. All that broccoli and kale is enough to make anyone feel a little green

What is causing lower IQ, apprently, is women drinking while pregnant. Not only does it cause fetal alcohol syndrome and possibly autism but it delivers children with lower IQ. Read his somewhere but can't remember where. It was a scientific article, not a fake news article. I can well believe this. Plus many children are born from mothers who were drug addicts when pregnant or who frequently used drugs like cocaine or cannabis. Even smoking while pregnant has been said to affect a child's immune system resilience to allergies.

Happy third birthday, Forumbox

Their leaving is a blessing in disguise.

Just watched Trump's speech. I had to do it on CNN. To the accompaniment of a host of Barbies and feminists all scowling at the result.

Boris is going to have to cut the cord.

Aliens exist and could already be on earth, first British astronaut says

Quote

Dr Sharman said that although aliens may not be made up of carbon and nitrogen like humans, "it's possible they're here right now and we simply can't see them".

I'm better than some of them on there, especially that Rachel Allen. Crap she "cooks"

I can't be sure but I think I once saw her make an "Irish Stew". It was the oddest Irish stew I'd ever seen.

You should be on the food channel

My dog has learned bird alarm calls and goes to chase cats away on his own now. Birds are very useful warning systems for intruders and lurkers as well. If you're suspicious, watch the birds. if they are not concerned, there's no one there.

Women too "posh" to push

It's actually about doctors too scheduled to wait for nature. They schedule births and so cutting infants out at appointed times in specific hospitals has made the Caesarean section the done thing. If you don't have a medical aid where I am, you can push till you die.

Quote from Fidget

Afraid not. We are back into medieval times with soothsayers and the like.

And so they make her best author at Waterstones and put her in Time Magazine's cover and almost gave her a Nobel Prize.

Actually, this is scary.

Yay

By the way, does Greta think she can see Carbon? I thought you were joking, Fidget.

Humanity in its mob manifestation is still very primitive. I have little enthusiasm for any belief that it will somehow magically get over itself in this regard. It needs paring down. It's out of control.

The latest fad condition is Autism. Only the best social media stars have Autism now. In fact they are suggesting it's the new big thing for saving the world. (Not joking. Clown world.)

Heero, for a minute I imagined him slicing stuff with a real mandolin and my brain just went AWOL. I use a knife so I had musical instrument in short term memory.

I am not interested in fairies with enormous egos.

Yes, the Asian market has almost killed off its tigers and so are turning to lion poaching to get teeth and claws. South Africa has a huge number of lion farms for this market. It's so disgusting I can hardly bare to think about it. And there is still poaching of wildlife, so I agree with you that stopping it is going to prove a daunting task. Unless of course they introduce the death penalty for these murders.

Yes, this is the problem. And Asia is the consumer of animal parts from rhino and elephant and lion, of pangolin and abalone.

Trophy hunters tend to come from America at the moment but of course this will expand as more wealthy egotists find an outlet for their psychoses. The pangolin is severely threatened. The rhinos could go before the end of the century. Our local urban reserve has a number of rhinos and all are dehorned because not too long ago a helicopter came in, blasted them to death and hacked out their horns. Children today probably think rhinos are all snub nosed creatures.
