Re: Happy Birthday Johnboy.

My dear old friends, I thank you so much for remembering me on my birthday.

Some time back I said that due to famil...

Re: my experiment

Dear Diane, May I suggest rather than ruining your nails trying to rub peas on sand paper that you take a sharp knife and holding said pea under fingernail with a smidgen of pea protruding you slide the knife down your fingernail and cut the skin. The cut should be the opposite side to the scar on t...

Dear Alan,
I wish you a happy birthday although the day is almost done before I have had the time to 'read anything.

Re: cheese

My favourite cheese used to be Dovedale Blue but sadly the creamery closed and was taken over and the new creamery produces is Yorkshire Blue which is a taste-alike. I buy Yorkshire Blue as a half cheese and I then store for at least six weeks before even trying to consume it. In that 6 weeks the ch...

Re: cheese

Well done Westi! To bring back what could be a very good and interesting thread for discussion only to be trashed is something all to familiar on this forum. This forum used to be wonderful with good meaningful input to threads instead of smart arse quips to derail something in which they have no in...

Old as I maybe I still have my marbles but feel that there is a total lack of discusion on forum which quite frankly saddens me and smart ars...

Dear Alan,
Just to hope that you have had a very pleasant day.

Re: Rat release allowed

We only set baited traps in confined areas so it is in places pets would not be allowed. I would urge you all to look up ERADIBAIT on Google and by using their products only rodents suffer death. All other pets and animals are not affected and that includes us humans. Very safe to use.

Re: Rat release allowed

If you are not prepared to set a baited trap that will kill the rat let things alone. Humane traps for rats to me seems a cop out. As an owner of woodland I do not want your rats I have a big enough problem of my own without you adding to my problems.

Re: Indian summer for pests

Hi Robo, Thankfully the old school tie brigade are very much on the wain around this area. I live around three miles from the Welsh border where rugby is a normal people's game and no cliques or snobby bar stewards. I cannot say that I exactly enjoy league but I do watch in on tv and the way both ga...

Re: Indian summer for pests

My school played a lot of rugby and back in those days it wasn't touch rugby but the hard game from the off. I played ruby until I was 38 and had to pack up due to an accident. I take it that Robo played League and I played Union but fail to understand who does the damage to who. There are very few ...

Hi Tigerburnie,
I didn't get to university until I was past 40 so does this make me doubly qualified?

Re: Indian summer for pests

I remember 1976 very well. All the pseudo experts came out of the wood work spreading their doom and gloom at every opportunity. It will take at least 5 years for the aquifers to be replenished and took every chance they could to spread alarm and despondency. As it happened we all managed to survive...
