Last week we had serious activity with swallows, swifts and housemartins.

Local swallows are still here.
And how I know they're local is they use the plant room in the parlour as a roost..
However there's been an influx of one's passing through these past 10 days or so.

Winter is coming!

Another watching big week on the farm? They must be farming massive acreage, parents and 2 daughters with their families all working on it

Yes I have one here for the last few years. A great thing to have for washing down the handling unit. Cleaning windows on machines. I actually never actually used it out to it’s full length.

Pipe going into shed is 1/2” HG with mains pressure
Would that be good enough?
Like to clean floor on livestock trailer, wash tools, weighing scales etc

See the vp of USA telling us to negotiate in good faith with uk. Obviously told by trump to say it but still a poor thing to say when visiting another nation and we have been the honest brokers.

Boris just defeated now, looking like an election could be called tomorrow. We live in interesting times.

Looks like he'll push for an election but Labour and SNP will say, no, your staying around for a bit.

Let me go.

If I'm understanding it correctly, Boris is going to try to call an election tomorrow without the votes to carry it out. So he could be forced to go to the EU to look for an extension after saying that he would not and lose the backing of a lot of Brexiteers by doing so.

Boris is in the shoite. Needs a 2 thirds majority to call an election. He wont get that. Then the opposition will get through their motion of not leaving without a deal. He will have to show his deal plans then before an election. If he has none then the election can go anyway.

The 1930's were interesting times too..

Fascists in Europe. Mosley in England.
Blueshirts in Ireland.

Today. Yellow vests in France. Yellow vests in Ireland. Gemma O'Doherty a cult leader in Ireland.

It just seems to spiral I was wondering did these movements sprung up as a result of the recent world wide recession. Heretofore war sorted it out.

Does anyone other than a few dozen air heads take ol' Gemma seriously though? She just comes across as very angry and shouty anytime I've had the misfortune to come across her.

The wall street crash had a lot to do with that decade.

This decade has and is looking to be heading that way too especially since Germany is in a recession now.

People just get tetchy and blame the other guy.

I never knew you were that intimate with her!

She has her audience and it eventually keeps seeping deeper and deeper into people's subconscious. I couldn't be bothered seeing what's she's up to lately but it does appeal to the Jeremy Kyle type viewer who just wants to be outraged or enjoyed by her latest gob****ery.

I don't believe I have ever heard her speak or read anything of hers - other than coming across the thread on boards about her being bat**** or something.

Get the impression no one much else thinks she to be taken seriously...

Tbh it appears to be mainly the greenwash lobby who are currently the biggest **** stirrers atm
