A blood test that can predict more accurately how long you may have live. Link.. I'm not too sure whether this is a good thing or a bad thing unless you can do do something to cling onto your perch a bit longer.

From my previous post :- The outgoing message is likely to be ' fight to the last bullet but one'. D Davis hasn't used the bullet for the intended purpose. It looks like he has popped it in his pocket to be used later. I wonder when the 'shoot out' will be?

Only the other day my 50 metre long heavy duty extension lead tripped out when I plugged it into my greenhouse circuit. I had fitted a Residual-current device to protect myself from my own stupidity. Opening the plug up showed that the earth lead and the negative return were making contact with each...

What is the estimated power usage for pumping the water? Obviously the bigger the lift and water volume the bigger the energy usage.

For those who are familiar with Noam Chomsky This 8 minute video 'Trump is a Distraction' Link. . spells out in detail what Trump and the Republican Party are really doing. Their politics affect everyone world wide and can't simply be dismissed as some demented buffoon across the pond. The sad thing...

Mrs May will retreat into her bunker Wolfsschanze (Chequers) on friday and tell her generals that our 6th Army has been completely surrounded by the EU forces and that defeat is imminent. The outgoing message is likely to be ' fight to the last bullet but one' but most of her generals will make thei...

I was prescribed some Ibuprofen 10% Gel as a mild pain relief. Compared with the Emugel its useless. I may as well rub toothpaste over the area. A pharmacist who I know said that the massaging action trying to rub the stuff in was probably more effective than the Gel.

Had a lower back problem since Friday night. Don't know how I did it PanBiker, you may have got the answer with your outings on the bicycle. I always put my back problems down to the rather unnatural posture that you take up on a bicycle. Being curled up 'honking' up a steep hill doesn't do backs a...

Must get round to photograph the gardens, we should never forget what they are all about.
Thinking about this brought to mind that it is often said that America has never been bombed. This is not true. A solo effort by a Japanese, Nobuo Fujita attacked on September 9 1942. Read about it Here,

A young lady who at one time lived in an outlying farm up Cowling way was explaining how occasionally a dead frog would block the pipe from the spring. To which my friend replied "leave my countrymen out of this". She didn't know that he was french.

Mrs P has a liking for peony flowers so the garden gets more than its share of then. On a good year they are well worth the trouble but get a cold spell and heavy rain then its goodbye for that year.
Some sample pictures although they are bit past their best.

Strange isn't it. people visit a museum to look at a fat berg when the only thing they have to do is look round them. With something like 13% of the people in the UK classed as obese you don't have to look a some putrefying lump of fat when you can see in in the 'flesh' with the owner wobbling and s...

Harley Davidson have said they are transferring some production abroad to escape the EU customs duty on their bikes. And when Airbus plus others suggest that they may have to pull out of the UK this is seen as unwarranted inappropriate interference in the negotiations. This is what happens in real ...

Early morning sunrise 4AM this morning. Almost doing a Stanley.

Rhododendrons! tell me about them. When we first moved in over 30 years ago the place was overrun with them. They had layered and layered at every opportunity. My conservative estimate on the numbers dug out is over 30, Mrs P says 50. The trouble is that the buggers bite back. In my last attack in n...

So many variations of this one its hard to say which one is true, if any!
Lady Astor: "Mr. Churchill, you're drunk!"
Winston Churchill: "Yes, and you, Madam, are ugly. But tomorrow, I
shall be sober."

Just one more thing to add to the list towards the doomsday armageddom. Strontium 90, (atomic bomb testing), Lead in petrol, cigarette smoking. Hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), birth control hormones and just plane old carbon dioxide. Add your own to the list.

Looks like a sawing machine to me.

PanBiker, you would be proud of me. On the top of our front garden wall we had some very much well established rhododendrons, possibly over 70 years old. Year after year they gave quite a good display but gradually the branches extended over the pavement and although they provided some shelter for t...

.Mom and dad used Gallithump quite a lot. "I don't care a gallithump," never really knew what it meant. Dad was very political in his outlook.

Here's a couple of general view pictures. Looking down on the front lawn from the bedroom. P5270245.JPG Then from the back bedroom. P5270246.JPG There's lots more to go at. Tomorrow I will do a simulation walk-a-bout to see how long it would take. and then cut a bit of grass just so I don't get lost...

China. That is what is known as a mathematical uncertainty, or to you Heisenberg's uncertainty principle. If you were dead and spending your first year working through eternity it would be one year. Since you are not dead it is two years. The probability variations get even more complex as time goes...

The referendum in itself was no more than a single question survey. Almost one year to the day, 23 June 2016. Most things of this nature are subject to 'seasonal adjustment' avoiding an excess of feel good factor or whatever happens at the summer solstice. Then there is the other fudge factor of Sig...

I think its too easy to put all the blame on supermarkets. We all know that they drive demand through advertising and slick presentation but I'm in the opinion that over the last years we have seen people trying to maintain a standard of living while the pressure on their time is increasing exponent...

Oh, come on Plaques, I was only indulging in a little persiflage (see Dialect thread). I know that Tizer. (didn't know they called it that thought) . You're dealing with a pachyderm here. Can't remember the last time anyone got through this skin, ducks back and all that. Actually I like a bit of ba...
