But what would we do with the crass greedy bar stewards, Boris?

I was thinking about digging the last couple of rows of potatoes this afternoon, but the ground was sodden, so instead I extended the legs on my old portable Wolf workbench, so it now extends in height from the original 30" (760mm) to about 40" (1016mm), and anywhere in between. This sure helps as you get older and don't want to be stooped over so much.
Now I'm thinking that was a job well done....

You sound more sure about the meeting than Keith
.....Well, there were two
of us, so he had double the chance of remembering us....

We had freezing fog this morning to start the day. Soon started to clear after 10 am when the sun came through. Rest of the day cold but bright; lovely to be out and about, so long as you kept moving. Temp got up to about 4C midday, but felt more like 1 or 2C.

So far back as I can remember, these have always been two separate guys, IC.
And I've been on here a few years now.
Zendaze has always been zendaze, and Gee has always been gee.
I think I even had the honour of meeting one of them, Zendaze, at a Dovedale gathering, back in 2016 or 2017, maybe?

Frost here last night, with a nice bright but chilly day. More frost forecast tonight too, followed by another dry bright day. Winter is a'comin' in!

Interesting stuff. A rum chap, but interesting. He doesn't talk like any scientist that I've ever met, but I've only ever met a few over all the years.
Quite true about the EU not allowing nationalisation, it's in their rule book. Governments in the EU can only lend money (public funds) to businesses to stop them going under; the businesses must pay back in future, or sell off the government shares at low prices to get rid of them, as happened with RBS and others after the 2008 crash.
So if he gets in, and if he holds a second referendum, and if the result is Remain, Corbyn's plans for nationalisation are stuffed, because the EU won't allow it.
Unless he brings off a deal that tells them: 'We'll stay in the EU if you will change your rules to allow nationalisation'.
If he can do that, he'll have done well!

Good first post, Jonny!
As the guys above say, you're going to love it here. Lots of interesting alternative living threads to stroll through, see what you fancy, see what other folks have gotten up to in the recent past.
Great to have you aboard!

One does suspect the only people doing really well on statins are the big pharma companies - Around £20 Billion a year worldwide was mentioned.....?

Yes, they can get pretty heavy.
We have an old Dell at least that size that is used mostly for showing slides of what we do at the Shed, when we have a table or stall at any local event. That machine is quite heavy enough to cart around on your shoulder, especially when using public transport.

All this is true. I have heard it times from a retired NHS medical doctor, a friend of many years. Doctors today are under far more pressure from big pharmaceuticals today than they were 30 or even 20 years ago, especially those who practice under severe time constraints.

If you can't repair the hinge, remove it if easy to do so, and replace it with a couple of glued-on Velcro straps, inside and out. Okay if you're not bothered about appearances.
A mate did this with one hinge, and liked it so much he took the other good hinge off and replaced it with two more Velcro straps. They looked quite neat, and matched the black cover of the notebook, but you had to be careful to lower the lid slowly, not let go of it suddenly!
He had another Velcro strap on the front edge to keep it closed when carrying about. oh, and in case you wondered, he had to put a couple of books or something else behind it to stop the screen going back too far. About from the damaged hinge, the machine still worked perfectly, so why change? was his philosophy.

Misty and a bit mizzly at times, but quite mild, so did a bit of leaf-harvesting.
It takes about 5 black dust-bins of pressed-down leaves to fill one builders sack.
After a few weeks this goes down enough to get another two or three binsful in. Stomp down, leave for a year, and you have about one binful of leafmould....
