Skodas are usually pretty good. We have a Roomster, having said that there is loose connection somewhere in the window wiring and sometimes it opens but sometimes takes a few goes to get it shut. We don't open the windows now!

Still have a lot of the 8 X4 sheets I found in a skip (i am meaner) done the hive roofs and made jackets and recently used some to insulate the hedgehog houses. The pink insulation sheets are the holy grail for model makers and I found a load of that in a skip but it's very rare in the UK.

I don't want a president Blair ! This argument/excuse is always brought up for not having a republic and it's a falsehood. An awful lot of countries have presidents who are merely figure heads of state with no real political power. Without looking tell me who the presidents of Ireland, Germany...

Thge only train passing through would have been the 'Royal train' or 'plague of locusts' to the locals.....

I have kingspan under the roofs and made some hinged and velcro kingspan jackets. Put the jackets on last winter and lost a colony to crap queen and starvation. Have not put them on again but it's thick frost outside right now but the sun is shining brightly. Wait until it's really cold and grey...

He is one of the best. Got see him live at the Wells comedy festival. Bring back nothing........

When the last Duke of westminster was asked what advice he would give to young entrepreneurs , he replied "It helps if you are related to William the Conqueror". Two things we should have left behind in the 20thC, the 'nobility' and religion. They still own most of the land....... On a lighter...

Henry 7th was a nasty piece work.

I live in a village soon to be swallowed up by Trowvegas. Population of Trowvegas , 50% at least are morbidly obese. I see young people waddling. NHS will quite literally be crushed to death by the weight of these people 10/20 years down the line.

I think there was more chance of him being Jasper Tudors son. Buried at Keynesham abbey, the remains of the buildings are just behind the train station. He was incredibly loyal to Henry when others had deserted him on masse. I was in a wars of the roses reenactment society. I was Jasper Tudor...

Got a mild dose of covid right now but been varoa and nosema free ever since the apiguard honey.

Found four 4 X 8 sheets of 25mm kingspan in a skip. Made some jackets with that and hinged one side and added velcro to close it up. Using some more to insulate the hedgehog houses.

Probably ought to have started treating a while back. There will be Varroa, counting how many seems a bit pointless in my opinion as you will treat if there are some or many. I usually use Apiguard and oxalic vape late Dec early Jan. Used Apivar this year for the first time and the drop has been...

I was in Tbilisi in Georgia at a circus convention about a week before the civil war broke out. My host proudly showed me his collection of about ten bottles of 'Scotch whiskey'. Did not have the heart to tell him it probably all came out of some army base in Bulgaria.

I didn't want to say it but yes. The US has always been one party away from a one party state.

Neither Russia or N Korea are in anyway socialist and have not been for decades. N Korea is a dictatorship, it's population existing in a 1984 economy. Russia is now a fascist country. As is China. A one party state using capitalism as it's economic model, is a fascist state.

I think we may be the first species to die out as a result of mental illness.

I read they are now making a feature film about 'The lair of the Wiveliscombe terror'. Hugh Grant is playing the lead. 'David Farr Livsey' or DFL to the locals. From what I've read of the plot, he has lived there for eight months and has to leave the house to get some milk as the Waitrose...

I know some who would love to !

You know exactly what I meant. Do you have an address I can send the Pedant of the Week award to ?
