............. And the fact that by supporting the conflict you're cheering on the death of hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians in your own self interest. That's a hell of a lot of cognitive dissonance to deal with. We're not cheering on the deaths of anyone. We're absolutely disgusted with the loss...

I don't think that you want to allow anyone within shotgun range n the circumstances we're talking about here.

........................... Here is one popular style [url]https://www.safesheds.com/family-shelters. This is an advert, but posted with a clean conscience as they do not sell them in the uk. Other shelters exist. Looks like a garden shed, but is designed to withstand a cat 5 hurricane. Factory mad...

................... I'm glad I'm in Estonia now ...at least for a while. Is that until in-valid's Russian friends come to "liberate" you and the Russian speakers of the country from the oppression of the Estonian government? Seriously though, I voted LibDem to get the local Tory out and g...

I'm more inclined to believe western propaganda than the Russian propaganda that you spew. Our journalists aren't reporting the Putin line under threat of imprisonment or falling out of a window or being fed polonium tea. Your propaganda is completely invalid. The name is on the tin. My 'propaganda...

It is reported that 18 are already on the run having deserted and 12,000 troops is only 10 days supply for the Russian meat grinder! N Korea has already lost 8 or 9 officers to a drone or Himars attack. It will be interesting to see how many remain loyal once they find out their fate in Russian hand...

The profits that the oilcos are making from destroying the environment should be used to pay for a technology that might, and I repeat might, reduce their impact on the environment. The oilcos should be paying. I, as a taxpayer, strongly object to paying to subsidise and greenwash oil companies.

We've got a Ryobi 300mm bar 18V battery chainsaw and a 100mm pruning saw. They also make a 150mmpruning saw and, I think, a 200mm chainsaw. both work really well on small wood although the chains do tend to stretch more than a bit. The pruning saws have an attached safety guard, can be used one hand...

Agree with all the above. Another thing we should be doing is automating a lot of jobs. We have plenty of trains, for instance, in this country which a fully automated, the DLR is one, and many trains which are automated but run with a driver to supervise which is ridiculous in this day and age. We'...

That's not really a rocket stove, it's just a portable wood stove. I would post a picture of my version of a rocket stove pot boiler which worked well for a few years before the weather demolished it but the image hosting site which I used to use seems to have stopped working. Anyone got a link to a...

..................... It might be useful to put trees in areas at risk from desertification like China has done a lot of. A lot of carbon can be stored in soil after a few generations of trees have grown there but this is at risk from rising temperature perhaps? It is being done in some places but ...

They have been at this long enough to have built specialist accommodation that would have been far cheaper than using hotel...

I have had success by constantly pulling it up. Our soil is quite lose as we try to never stand on it soil so, with a gentle pull as the shoot appears above the surface, you can usually get quite a length of root out as well. I find that the shoots gradually get weaker until eventually they don't re...

There are ones which fit into a 225 x 225 (9" x 9") airbrick if one is available and others which will fit into a hole cut in a window pane.

Hurricane Kirk now heading straight for the UK. Won't be a hurricane by the time it reaches us next week (Wednesday?) but it according to the BBC weather for the week ahead it will be a direct hit and bring a lot of rain with it. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/met-office-hurricane-...
