^ 'tis buggerall to do with Adminitus - I've been tripped up enough times in the Shed by my own gaffs and slips.
I've just taken a wander down the bottom of garden to release a mouse that foolishly hitched a ride inside the cat's mouth, I couldn't see the rhubarb for brambles - (last year was a bad gardening year for me, but a great autumn for apple and blackberry pie) - I think a decent scything is in order, or an industrial flame-thrower - and raised beds I think (three inches of top-soil, 2 foot of clay and 500 feet of chalk). On the way back up I picked up one of the bird-feeders that was lying in the flowerbed - the grey squirrels (damn tree-rats) had gnawed through the whole branch to get it down, but they still couldn't get the peanuts out - smart, but not that smart - all they needed was a 3mm open-ended spanner.

^^ you know, I can't help feeling that 18 months as an Admin has done that to you Dean...take no-one's post at face value..
I'd just assumed he'd got it the right way round, 'cos hes a Sheddite...

^ funny time of year in the garden - some areas seem neat after pruning, tidying and sweeping, other areas such as my fern border look very untidy indeed!
i recently had to remove my bird table and add extra hanging feeders, nuts and seeds, as the pigeon population has alarmingly increased, leaving a mess of poo and feathers all over one side of my my roof .
 i understand the little beggars have to live but if things had got worse i may have received a "knock on the door" from the local council, as there were over 25 in and around my garden at the last count.
the bird table in question had to be encased in a piece of old garden fence as the pigeons were muscling in and eating the food i put out every day, leaving the smaller blue tits, sparrows (hardly see many these days
 ) and starlings with nothing.... the fence kept the pigeons out and allowed the smaller birds to feed but the pigeons still managed to get in eventually, scoffing all the grub then finding they were trapped inside, and as the table stood where they could see the pile of food my roof remained as their base.since i removed the table the hanging feeders are being used by the smaller birds and the pigeons are becoming fewer as they have realised there is nothing more for them here, and should stick to Harrow town centre where copious amounts of food are supplied by well-meaning bird lovers - but the mess...

Just spent a pleasant afternoon digging out an old tree stump. The soil is drying out nicely and crumbly. Can't wait for the clocks to go back and start planting.
Rhubarb is beginning to poke through.

One of my all time favourite misprints was unfortunate typo in 'Ainsley's Big Cook Out'.
He studied at the college where I work - as did Jamie Oliver and Anthony Worral-Thompson. The shame ...

^ he seems to have confused Einstein's theory of relativity with Newton's third law and not fully explained why a total anode current of 0.307A would blow a 1A fuse, but hey-ho, an amusing read none the less. |

it is from a web site about valve amp biasing by John Beer ; the tongue-in-cheek-comment refers to the rivalry between British and American amp manufacturers, drawing a comparison with complaints by British men regarding American soldiers stationed here in the UK during WW2... I thought it was amusing...

^ yes i thought the Kevin Whately episode of "WDYTYA" one of the most interesting so far, and the Barbara Windsor one in the last series, especially when she found a tenuous link with the painter John Constable - lor luvvaduck!!
Overall the series is interesting but not much use to the average Genealogist, especially when the "stars " have all the leg work and research done for them by a team of experts and are led around from place to place - i spent 15 years going through old photos, trudging the streets of London, Devon, Cornwall and Chichester finding my "roots", and many hours searching on internet Genealogy and Government web sites, and still plenty more to do in Gloucester!

Oz and James is terrible... argh!
Plus how the hell do they not get done for drink driving? Even some more "cultural" shows are being dumbed down. I have watched "Who Do You Think You Are?" since it started and this series has been the worst by far. However, last night's episode with Kevin Whately was somewhat of a return to form. However, I gather this was recorded sometime ago and held back. I am also glad they didn't show that moronic idiot Chris Moyles' episode. It's apparently going to be on later this year. Oh joy.  Plus some more humble people would be nice. A whole line of Ag Labs would be smashing! Edited by James - March 04 2009 at 01:16 |
