Re: Today I shall be Mainly...
Morning Sue! I agree with you, no sign of summer yet apart from the new growth on the trees. It's warmer in Scotland than it is with us.... Still, we won't get their midges!
Have a nice day and keep the faith, it will eventually improve!

WHAT’S THE BEEF 01
WHAT’S THE BEEF 01 It’s always nice to find that you are in front of the curve. 15 years ago I wrote an article on mixed farming for ‘The Food Magazine’ and it was very well received. In case you hadn’t noticed, mixed farming has risen from the grave and is now a hot topic in farming circles. The gr...

Re: COMPUTERS, THE AGONY AND THE ECSTASY
I think I very nearly got scammed yesterday with what they call the Makita scam. I shame to say it but I was falling for it until Firefox stepped in and slapped my wrist. These frauds are so realistic! I forgot the Golden Rule, if it looks too good to be true, it probably is. I admit to being human....

Re: TODAY'S PENNINE WEATHER
Yesterday afternoon's overcast was marred by the occasional spatter of rain but by 20:00 the cloud was breaking and it wasn't raining. First thing this morning it was calm, partially overcast but dry. The glass has fallen slightly to 1023mb and the forecast is for a brighter day and dry but overall,...

Re: Seen in the News
I saw that report Peter and had the same reaction. I think the root of the problem is that they have no funding to actually make a difference and so in common with a lot of other public services all they can do in the way of action is issue denials and anodyne, weasel-worded statements. As a country...

A clever skit on the song but I don't understand two things, the last line and the mention of 'ramping' further back.

I decided to watch Line of Duty again and started last night. I think it was perhaps the best police drama ever..... Like Gloria I have the advantage that I have forgotten most of the plot so it is all new to me! ![Big Grin :biggrin2:](./images/smilies/board/biggrin.gif)

Re: WHAT ATTRACTED YOUR ATTENTION TODAY?
Glad to hear they patched you up successfully Pete.... I'll say it again, I am so lucky in these matters. Just the odd brush with cancer and diabetes.... which, as long as I am sensible, don't seem to cause any worries at all.
I wish you the same for the next 30 years Pete....![Good :good:](./images/smilies/board/good.gif)
