There’s a good series on R4 about it all. Disgusting how people were treated. As usual, the people higher up will get away with it.

Thanks for mentioning it. Think we’ll come over with the little ones.

What’s the best app for identifying stuff? Anything better than Google lens? According to that, we’ve got a bunch of Sulphur Tuft on the edge of the lawn.

My wife and I are both foster carers of well over 10 years and our hearts go out to you. We’ve had a few kids with serious problems (as well as amazing kids) over the years. Having to stay up until 3 in the morning most nights waiting for the police to bring our 14 year old home pissed up. Not going to school. Setting fire to her bedroom bin (was the last straw for me). This was going on for well over a year so we ended up giving our 28 days notice for her to leave, as it was clear she didn’t want to live with us. Her older brother was constantly thieving from us (including my wife’s bank details). Not going to college. The list goes on. Anyway, when the foster kids turn 18, they have a staying put agreement, where they have to look for a job and pay board, and look for a flat. He had no intention of doing either, so again we gave our 28 days notice.
It’s bad enough when it’s affecting just you and your partner, but when they’re other kids in the house, like ours, then it obviously impacts them.
Fostering certainly isn’t all bad as we’ve had some lovely kids who just want a bit of love and a stable home.
Just don’t let social services fob you off about shortages of placements as they do with us. You can only do so much. Best of luck johndoh

I’ve had a Disco 4 for just over a year and it’s been brilliant. We need the seven seats plus we tow a big caravan. Not really needing the the 4×4 bit so much anymore. It’s also great for work with all the seats folding flat. Post 2012 versions have an 8 speed box plus a bit more power and better economy. My neighbour has his own Land Rover garage which is very handy, but apart from needing service and MOT, it’s not been any trouble or that expensive. So far 🙂.

Yeah. Love Birch trees too. Cheers Matt, I’ll get that book.

Calling it GBeebies is a massive insult to CBeebies.🙂

I wonder if it was considered too dangerous to take the scaffolding down first.

I didn’t think much of Sea zoo when we went. Pili Palas nature world near the bridge is ok though. The castle is well worth it for the kids to explore. Moelfre lifeboat station has a lot of interesting history as well. There’s a nice beach round the back end of RAF Valley with a shallow bay that should be good for body boarding. Anglesey is lovely.

I’ve got a bit of a thing for leather mangles. The friendship bracelet things we all used to wear back in the late 80’s, early 90’s.

Oh. You mean shag tags?😃

He may be very wealthy but he is fighting and lobbying for environmental change and using his influence for the greater good.

Yet owning huge shooting estates.

Selle Italia Novus Boost Kit Carbonio Superflow

That’s quite some name.😃

Don’t know about choking devices, but getting you and your family on a first aid course is a good idea. Just had a refresh course myself.

It reminds me of Private Eyes, Grim up North London cartoon.

Every body’s dead Dave.

Run at them shouting?

You first 😃

This looks perfect for your needs.
No idea who’s selling it.😉

It was Popeye the sailor man for us kids 😃

Is it me or is the key in the lock?

Not just you.

Coffey blames wild birds.

Infact… If you really wanted a power tool. An oscillating multitool would be much more useful.

That’s what I was thinking.

Apparently they’ve been made compatible with Ukraine’s Soviet-era jets , according to the BBC’s report.

What thecaptain said. My parents have been sorted with a couple that they can wear. Not that my dad would.😃 Hope your dads ok.

I’m loving the filming of it all but the Disney music is really annoying. It should be Sir David’s commentary and the sounds of the landscape that are filming. We miss a big part of it all otherwise. Whether it’s quiet, or noisy drama.

Thanks for the reminder Bunnyhop.

No other car people do that.

Had the same when I owned a Landrover Discovery 2. Think it was more of a cry for help.😃

Excellent Binners. Thanks for the reminder that it’s Valentine’s day 😱

I do remember the sausage and caramelised red onion sarnie in the cafe being very good 😋

Told my wife about them just this morning. Bloody lovely. We always had one after the Grizedale mountain bike challenge. Really miss that event.

Where am I supposed to be looking? Don’t say up.

That and Project Yewtree.

😂

Very quiet this morning and had the joy of assembling a load of flat pack so couldn’t give it my full attention. Even so I managed to see.

2 Nuthatch
2 Dunnock
2 Woodpigeon
1 Jackdaw
1 Great Tit
1 Robin
1 Magpie

Love watching Nuthatch. If you didn’t know what you were looking at, you’d think they were mice, the way they run up and down the trees.

Well said Winston.😂

I think he’ll be in for a surprise on Greatest Hits Radio though; it has the highest ratio of ads:music than any other station I’ve listened to outside the USA

Presenters don’t always care as to what’s on air. Marc Riley was asked about the playlist when he was on Radio 1. He said that he didn’t know and that it was Mark Radcliffe who put the records on and would turn the speaker off and have a chat, so it could have been anyone. Don’t blame him.,😃

@talys. They were direct drive.

Need to sort out what I’m going to do with my vinyl as well. They’ve been moved between various attics and lofts over the years, so sleeves are a bit tatty yet the vinyl is mint. Been meaning to get them on Discogs but wouldn’t know what they’d go for, if anything.

Have been trying to remember what decks I had. Didn’t want to stretch to Technics money so bought some a bit cheaper. Ended up selling them to fund a car and girlfriend. They weren’t those Stanton’s above. What other decent makes were around mid nineties?

Very nice. Was looking at the Elgrand last year but there’s some debate about whether you can tow with them. Otherwise I would have one.

.

Harold’s cracking. Have you not tried a mouth organ to bring on the howl? Always worked for our old dog.😃

That predator experience looks great. I know someone who’d love that. Cheers.

I dropped someone off at Manchester for the first time in years this summer and none of us realised about the charges. Just about cobbled a fiver together between us all. Not like you can do a u turn. I didn’t notice whether you can tap your card or phone. I assume you can.
