He doesn't help himself does he?
I take the meaning of Ian's post above to be 'I deliberately set grass seed in peoples gutters so I can screw some more money out of them in the Autumn'

Being totally ruthless really pays dividends Lizzie. I attacked my garage some time ago and got rid of.. ooo nearly a full half carrier bag of stuff and now I can almost get all the way to the consumer unit...

I'm not worried about knife crime, I'm assured the government is going appoint a supremo who will soon have it all sorted once they agree how big the salary will be and whether they get an OBE or a knighthood

They carry the same diseases as the rat, kill young birds,take eggs out of the nest, have been know to attack children in their pushchairs what's to like?
Rog
So do humans but they won't let us shoot 'em.. We carry disease, spread germs, kill and roast young birds, take and boil their eggs and yes even attacking babies and toddlers has been in the news recently.

That we are surrounded by cruelty is sadly very true but are any those cruelties necessary? I think not.
Young J Sparrow of this parish raises some good points in support of balance, we are wrecking the place with ever increasing speed. but I think your last point may be a bit of a stretch. There are responsible clubs I've no doubt but suspect most clubs do not actually have their own water to be guardians of.
Is it cruel to keep cats and dogs? I can't see that it is, depending on your definition of cruel. Useless yes, pointless yes but cruel? I think not. Cats have remained true to their nature and yes they kill 55 million birds (RSPB figures) a year. Whether there would be as many dead birds if cats were not kept as pets is open to argument.
Dogs on the other hand have been bred and trained to virtually eliminate every natural behavior, now all they do is chase cars and produce 1000 tonnes of excrement a year

I don't want to get into a quarrel but enjoy arguing different points of view PP.
We eat meat because it's in our nature, those of us who have any teeth left that is. We are top of the food chain and hunter gatherers have for millennia killed for food. But for fun? for enjoyment?
I have as a youngster fished on the Trent, outside the power station was famous for Gudgeon and I spent many hours on the Clifton side of Beeston weir and caught mainly colds.
I did catch a fish, can't remember what it was, and the hook went in it's mouth and the barb came out from just under it's eye - that put me off for life.
I applaud your efforts with the environment, I put quite a bit of effort and not a little expense with feeders and nest boxes etc for the birds and hedgehogs but I wouldn't dream of trapping them.
I know we have several keen anglers here, what do they think?
Am I wrong to think angling is a cruel sport?

I have never subscribed to the belief that the British Worker is basically lazy as portrayed for example, in the film ,I`m All Right Jack.
You obviously never worked in the docks or the car industry in the days of Red Robbo and his ilk.

Do we know Rizzoli damaged it, how did they, was it deliberate?

Dad had a grapevine in a greenhouse at Clifton. I think the damn thing was on steroids. It was totally neglected and produced more grapes than you can shake a stick at.

Happy returns of the day (I wonder what that actually means) Margie and many of them...

The downside is due to my age it's likely to be a year before they are finished.

A bargain that wasn't. I like Lion bars, preferred the Nux but you can't get them now. I only have about two or three a year so when I saw four for a pound in the basket they went. Put them in the fridge and promptly forgot them. Came across them Monday and though 'great' took one and bit into it. It was solid, like a stick of rock solid and three front teeth shattered, well two crowns and a tooth really.
Had the dentist estimate today, never realised you could that many zeros on one line before - sheesh implants are expensive.

Forget my earlier post....
The registration appeared (and still is apparently) on a Ford Coupe 3.9 V8 1948 so the car in the picture must predate that.
All BMW are shown here so don't think it's a BM..

Looking at the grill the nearest I can think of is a Ford model Y but the lower lights look wrong. The Crossley car had a vaguely similar grill, so did Alfas and Fiat but I can't find a good match.

Mk1 Ford Consul convertible. £40 squire can't sat fairer than that can I? genuine white leather upholstery that is, the door? oh that's an easy fix anyone can do it............
Never did get the door fixed but it was easy to scoop me mam up and lift her over the side with the hood down and how cool was it to step into a car rather than open doors?

You have a couple of tractors why not hire/buy a small baler you can tow. Plenty of used ones for sale that look to be in good condition

Here you go Margie, at great expense and risk to life and limb I give you:-
A little maiden climbed an old man's knee, Begged for a story, "Do, Uncle, please." Why are you single; Why live alone? Have you no babies, have you no home?" "I had a sweetheart, years, years ago: Where she is now, pet, you soon will know. List to the story, I'll tell it all. I believed her faithless, after the Ball." After the ball is over After the break of dawn After the dancer's leaving After the stars are gone Many a heart is aching If you could read them all Many the hopes that have vanished After the ball. Bright lights were flashing in the grand ballroom Softly the music, playing sweet tunes There came my sweetheart, my love, my own I wished some water, left her alone When I returned, dear, there stood a man Kissing my sweetheart, as lovers can Down fell the glass, pet, broken that's all Just as my heart was, after the ball After the ball is over After the break of dawn After the dancer's leaving After the stars are gone Many a heart is aching If you could read them all Many the hopes that have vanished After the ball. Long years have passed, child, I've never wed True to my lost love, though she is dead She tried to tell me, tried to explain I would not listen, pleadings were in vain One day a letter came from that man He was her brother, the letter ran That's why I'm lonely, not home at all I broke her heart, After the ball After the ball is over After the break of dawn After the dancer's leaving After the stars are gone Many a heart is aching If you could read them all Many the hopes that have vanished After the ball. After the ball is over After the break of dawn After the dancer's leaving After the stars are gone Many a heart is aching If you could read them all Many the hopes that have vanished After the ball.

I knew Vic Pownall very well. He told me he owned the Clinton Rooms and the next door property back in the 70's. His family was huge and his half brothers (Micheal?) ran McIntyres scrap in Dunkirk. I'm not sure if it was his father or grandfather that had a barn conversion near Holme Peirrepont. Quite a big place, two story garage and a showmans caravan in the garden that he took great delight in telling me it was home to a single budgerigar.

You do know you're going to regret it don't you? It's a fundamental law of the universe that stuff thrown will within a matter of weeks be the very thing you need.
