RMweb Gold Tony_S Posted August 23, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 23, 2016 Morning all. Looks like a nice day here. I believe tidying out the big shed (summerhouse) is today's task. Tony 14 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium eldavo Posted August 23, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 23, 2016 Did you calculate the area of the hole using pi? or are you eating pie as well as the doughnut or instead of the doughnut? It should be noted that pieholes obey a completely different set of physical rules... And we've all heard of black holes - but are there white holes? Or pink holes or any other hue? Or, is it like the Model T, you can have any colour you like as long as it's black? Straying into dangerous territory here! Commiserations to the ailing and grieving.

RMweb Premium PhilJ W Posted August 23, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 23, 2016 Morning all from Estuary-Land. Looks as if its going to be a scorcher today (and tomorrow) and then the inevitable thunder storms predicted for Thursday. The ground is still rock hard despite the bit of rain we've had recently so the hard landscaping is still off for the time being. Off for now, be back later. 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium 45156 Posted August 23, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 23, 2016 (edited) Morning All Sun has arrived, and I will soon depart for town as lots of business to do there, and a 'spoons breakfast, perhaps if time allows. Caught up, and posts all read, rated, and hereby greeted. For the guitarists among us, try this for size - two first class Djangoists having a good time and not for an audience - fearsomely good playing from Herefordshire's finest, Remi Harris and one Bar Zalel.

Your senses of morality are untarnished and my Speedo seams remain un-strained. it is our antipodean friends that refer to them as budgie smugglers, although personally, Condor keepers might be more apt Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

trisonic Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 (edited) I would normally suggest a fruit cage is best to protect your crop and would suggest using a wire mesh as birds can get caught up in netting. However I suspect a Bear would make short work of a fruit cage. Is it normal to get bears in your back yard sounds a bit dangerous to me. Don We’ve had two (Black Bears) wandering around the backyards of our New Jersey township so far this year, cue hysterical reaction of the Moms. Officially the Police position is to do nothing - they usually wander off again fairly promptly. As this is within 20 miles of NYC I can only speculate how often it happens in PH’s neck of the woods. Best, Pete. Edited August 23, 2016 by trisonic 14 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Tony_S Posted August 23, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 23, 2016 (edited) I suspect in Physics Review Letters there are arguments about interactions between 13 dimensional holes. I think we didn't have to cope with more than 4 dimensions when I was a lad. No bears in our back garden eating the fruit, just a spaniel. Though it wasn't Robbie that ate all the figs, just an influx of relatives from Enfield. We were disappointed not to see the bears when we visited our friends in Connecticut a few years ago. Nobody seemed too frantic. The local police had an animal control officer and if the bears saw his truck they used to move on! Coyotes eating pets were a problem though.

jonny777 Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Hot here in Somerset. Strangely, I chose today to start my next batch of beer called Pilgrims Hope by Festival, but I might have to wait all day for the mixture to cool down to 24C before I can add the yeast. I don't want it over-fermenting, as it makes the old advert punchline of "it's frothy man" look like a gross understatement. I have ripening grapes, and must dig out the old Kodak Instamatic to produce photographic evidence. 13 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted August 23, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 23, 2016 Morning all, The sunshine cometh - and it ain't 'arf hot out there (but that means the G word is duly knocked on the head). However following discussion last night of this evening's culinary arrangements, and some doubt about quite when laddo will be here or doing whatever he does with his staff and client liaison at Waitrose distribution centre in Bracknell plus the good Doctor being at work later than normal to superintend the stackers of things on shelves, the good news is that the management will be making pasties. So far the weather has not affected this important decision and in fact she has just this minute raised the question of whether we could get some paper bags so that we could sit outside to eat said pasties? Which poses the question of whether or not on sensing pasty availability the local red kites will adopt seagull like behaviour and swoop down to help themselves in a rather more lively form of 'hand feeding'? BTW the way I refuse absolutely to donate my GNR Hotels paper bag to this idea of eating al fresco, and how the heck do you put baked beans in a paper bag? And in view of comments on another fred thread (Stewart knows what I mean) maybe I should take some pics of the pasties? With those interesting (?) thoughts I leave you to hopefully have a good day whilst I wonder if I will be tasked to buy a swede should the one in stock not be up to the job. 19 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purley Oaks Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 (edited) Afternoon all Not scorchio here, overcast, perhaps later? Great jalapeño, Pete. You know what they say about men with XL size hands? Yep, XL sized gloves. For the guitarists/music lovers amongst you, am going to see Wilko Johnson tonight at the book festival; should be good. Hope your day goes well - and that you find the required shade, possibly wth something cold in a glass.

When I commented yesterday to Mrs Lurker that this week is the last of the Cannon Street trains stopping at London Bridge, she didn't even feign interest. So I have come here to catch up instead! Condolences to Dom and family And congratulations to Pete. Either for the hands or the jalapeno or both! 16 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted August 23, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 23, 2016 I am indebted to Dd for his encyclopaedic exposé on holes. I must admit I have been remiss in not clicking all his links, but, maybe not for the first time, would refer ERs to Rachel Heyhoe-Flint, lady cricketer of renown, who observed sagely that where male cricketers wear an abdominal guard, lady cricketers wear a manhole-cover. Since no lady of my acquaintance has played cricket, I must let her wisdom on this matter prevail. Sometimes, stepping up to the plate carries an unforeseen price. Alison is in the Vendée, and needs to nurse her severely ailing Laguna back the 250 km to her home. She was planning to do so this evening 'in the cool'. Hah, bloody hah. It will still be 28 at midnight! So I suggested she travel first thing tomorrow, when things will be a little less fierce - and her lover is up and about milking his cows, anyway. Sadly her lodger, a Dutchman, needs a lift into La Ferté Bernard "early", to go home for a few weeks. So I volunteered to be there whenever he needs to go. I now learn he has arranged a lift for 04.50........ 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed We have - very specifically included in the house plans (by me). In brief summary it currently contains - Sewing machine and sewing 'bits' box; the hi-fi (wired to speakers in the living room and kitchen) which sits on a book case which houses CDs, DVDs and records; the reserve catering supplies (currently a bit down on quantity so don't tell Frau Merkel); two cat baskets; a firescreen not currently in use; the reserve wine supply (well down on quantity); a garden chair with seat cushions; my collection of 35mil transparencies; and various other oddments. 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
