Morning all..and how are we today then?all good then?well this is the last formal post for 2015,as most of us move into 2016 pretty soon......well that is apart from the antipodean contingent who are almost celebratin easter now!!:thumbsup:..all those new year resolutions getting wheeled out again and dusted orf!!its a good time for reflection too..for me ,I am in my 4th year of not drinking ..a place I never thought I would be,the days of sneaking vodka as a starter to any drinking have long gone....I ,when I think back to it was kind of embarrassed yet desperate about it all..went through the dont wanna die .com scenario,despite being pretty close previously,and yet masking it all with booze....I guess my intent was to jump in here,get cured jump back out ..hey presto job done no one none the wiser..but it didnt turn out like that...this has now become a part of my life..as are the people here..I have made some good friends here,and I dont use the word friend lightly either...had some disappointments,some narks,got pissed off,but generally enjoyed it else wouldnt be here...my whole ethos now is ..if I can help someone else I will...and maybe I have over the years,maybe I havent..so for us all ..take a minute just to think...what you have done and what you intend to do.......right thats the reflectin done..kettles boiled ..brew time?
hiya pie ..hows you then?hopefully that wee vid will help you...dont be rushing in...the last thing you need is water all over the place if it goes wrong on new years eve!!I like the magic cloth that cleans everything up for you !!!!!!
hiya pauly hows you today then?did you sleep any better?maybe thats one of the points you cabn look at in ghe new year..it could be anything,so try different combos to see what works (except booze
I try and read all the posts...apart from on my phone which is a pain!!ok as for the plant...is it a houseplant?what kind is it?reason Im asking is it could be a number of things..
is it in a pot? check the bottom underneath see if you can see roots..might be pot bound
has it been over/under watered...drought and flood scenario?
has it got enough fertiliser/nutrients..maybe a feed
has it got enough light?
have you moved it from somewhere else?fig plants are notorious for that!
weather change?
and lastly ..have you done anything different with it..could do with a pic if poss
I agree with Lav...but not yet..in the meantime I would take a cutting too,and grow it on..either in water or rooting compound,if you cant resolve the old plant then cut it back to a node with a growth on it if poss..
hiya Kuya how you today then? all good...was watching supervet again last night ...wow ...interesting convo about the looting...I see where you are coming from with the assumptions that we are looking at the worst from the outside in..The scenarios I was talking about were twofold....one...the houses were cleared on to the streets on the authority of the insurance companies to assess them prior to recompense..but the law of assumption is that if it is on the street then it is no longer required by the owner and makes it common property,this was not the case it was simply that the street was the easiest place to put it all...secondly,one shop suffered severe damage, but managed to save a large amount of stock...to find it had been stolen next morning.............15 pedal bikes worth about £25000.....to me that is just a commercial burg in dire circumstances!....as for the rose tinted glasses,,,hmm for a nation that actually invented concentration camps,built cities on the slave trade,and re-educated ??over 90% of the world in our ways dont think we have too much to bump our gums at!!..anyways see you in the new year :thumbsup:

As a tribute to Lemmy's death, we've all just had a minute's noise.
Arnie is making a new action movie based on The Wind in The Willows. It is tentatively called Toad Hall Recall
I'm getting lazier as I get older.
For example, I used to trim my toenails every week.
Now I just wear bigger shoes.
A man walks into a library and asks, "Do you have any books on poor eyesight?"
"No, we don't," replies the barman.
In my loft sits a contraption invented by my great, great, great grandfather that weaves cloth from seemingly nothing.
It's an old family air-loom.
My wife went ballistic at a tramp going through the bins as they were put out for collection.
"What on Earth do you thing you're doing? " she yelled.
"I'm starving, so I'm looking for food scraps, " he shouted back, "but I can see there is no fcking point in looking through yours though. "
I decided to test out the theory that if you throw a cat off a building they will always land on their feet.
It's true, in the time it took me to get outside the cat had already got himself a steady job, a decent house and his own family.
Two farmers in a field. One says to the other, "Ere! You seen my flock a' cows?"
The other one says, "Herd a' cows."
The first one replies, "Course I feckin herd a' cows, I've got a flock of the b.stards
As I waited for my blind date, this woman came and sat down at my table, "Hello, you must be Mike, I recognised you from your picture."
"Oh, yes, you must be Kate's mum, pleased to meet you, is she not well or something?"
While visiting an old and spooky country house, a lady confided in the guide that she was terrified of ghosts and dreaded meeting one on the tour.
To reassure her, the guide informed her that in all the years he had worked at the house, he had never seen a single ghost.
"And how long have you worked here?" asked the woman.
"Three hundred years."
have you ever noticed...in any movie one of the following happens
1. It does not matter if you are heavily outnumbered in a fight involving martial arts: your enemies will wait patiently to attack you one by one, dancing around in a threatening manner until you have knocked out their predecessors.
2. Honest and hard-working policemen are traditionally gunned down three days before their retirement.
3. All beds have special L-shaped sheets that reach the armpit level of a woman, but only the waist level of the man lying beside her.
4. At least one of a pair of identical twins is born evil.
5. Most laptop computers are powerful enough to override the communications system of any invading alien society.
6. All grocery bags contain at least one stick of French bread.
7. Rather than wasting bullets, megalomaniacs prefer to kill their arch enemies using complicated machinery involving fuses, pulley systems, deadly gasses, lasers, and man-eating sharks, which will allow their captives at least a half-hour to escape.
8. You're very likely to survive any battle in any war unless you make the mistake of showing someone a picture of your sweetheart back home.
9. A man will show no pain while taking the most ferocious beating, but will wince when a woman tries to clean his wounds.
10. If a large pane of glass is visible, someone will be thrown through it before long.
11. If staying in a haunted house, women should investigate any strange noises in their most revealing underwear.
12. Even when driving down a perfectly straight road, it is necessary to turn the steering wheel vigorously from left to right every few moments.
13. All bombs are fitted with electronic timing devices with large red readouts so you know exactly when they're going to go off, but luckily you'll always blindly choose to cut the right wire.
14. A detective can only solve a case once he has been suspended from duty.
15. Police departments give their officers personality tests to make sure they are deliberately assigned a partner who is their total opposite.
and finally....................
