Tell Us Something Really Trivial About Your Life (Vol 34)
Discussion
Morning all 
Still alive.
Black bins and green bins today here oop norf.
That's general household un-recyclable rubbish and garden and food waste.
I shall applaud our hero waste disposal and recycling collection operatives when they come to empty our bins.
They help to keep the rats at bay here at home and facilitate the first leg of all our plastic s
t on its' long journey by bulk carrier to the shores of Malaysia, where it's tipped in vast mountains of crap for the local wildlife to enjoy before it eventually finds its' way into the world's oceans to strangle turtles and choke dolphins and enter our food chain.
Meanwhile, our brown bin ( bottles and cans) is overflowing. Once a month is not enough to keep pace with the by-product of our descent into the wonderful world of alcoholic oblivion.
Cheers!
I think I'll have another cup of tea, then start to plan the rest of my day.

Morning chaps.
I'm sorry if I've started an argument or at the least a disagreement, as I said, personally I'm not one to follow the crowd, yes the NHS deserves some form of recognition for the job they're doing under what is extremely difficult times, but personally I don't think standing in the street clapping is the right thing.
As for the sanctimonious berk next door to Dicky, if he's such an ardent church goer who believes devoutly in god, ask him why his god allowed this to happen in the first place.

You can't blame God.
It wasn't God's fault, it was Boris and the select team of scientific advisors* and possibly some
eating bats and pangolin.* SAGE - great when mixed with chopped onions, breadcrumbs and beaten egg: and used to stuff us all.

No, I won't start that argument with him, Bobbers, but I might reawaken the dormant disagreement about his fking hedge*. Unable to go to the tip at present I'll put all the clippings in his drive.
That'll show him.
* Hedge. A loose term he and I use to describe the thicket on his boundary made up of 10% holly, 10% pollarded chestnut, 30% unknown and 50% hawthorn. They're not garden people. Grrr.
We've got a couple of holly saplings growing at the bottom of the garden in our wild corner, I have no idea what Pollard chestnut is, or to be honest hawthorn, but this unknown you speak of, we have loads of that in our wild corner!!!!!king hedge*. Unable to go to the tip at present I'll put all the clippings in his drive.That'll show him.

They made out they were doing us a big favour and said they were going to take down the chestnut tree. Instead they had it cut off at two metres above the ground which is recommended hedge height. They - he more than her - is a smartarse. Cutting a healthy tree results in it sprouting, a technique known as pollarding. You had a tree; you now have a bush. In this case a five metre high bush.

Do you think this could be Dicmeisters real identity and he wants us to find out?
Anyway, morning all, it is overcast on the Shropshire/Cheshire border.
It is also overcast in Aspie and the Hondón valley in Spain, where it will rain all weekend and normal scorchio service will resume next week.

Video meeting with the Dutch this morning. Bacon Sandwich will have to wait 
We've been together now for forty years...You are still allowed your bacon sarnie, Scrump, but it must be liberally coated with chocolate sprinkles.
will do, I am sure this will present a professional image 
Bobberoo99 said:
Surely you can just take a chainsaw to it and level the whole thing down to 2m? I thought there were restrictions on height for bushes on adjoining premises?
There are. I have his agreement in writing that he will maintain the height to two metres. He ignores it. The next step is a formal dispute which, as I'm sure he knows, can have a detrimental effect on house values. Right by the house he took down a section of hedge completely and planted fast growing trees. Trees are not bound by the hedge rules. It's okay, I live next door to a and try not to let it rule life.

Inside however, it has futtin javelins and i swear blind they are 30 feet long javelins.
The old man grew a hawthorn hedge donkeys years ago as a deterent to all the kids running across the lawn.
It's a sod to cut and you can't pick the clippings up by hand unless you have thick gloves on.
The kids thought it was hilarious to push each other into it. Once.

Good luck.

Nope, Bomma is a Spurs fan.However, if it's ordnance you're looking for, then yes! He's definitely the fellow to supply your every ballistic logistical requirement.
But don't ask to see his Scuds.
