You energetic things you! My conscience it well and truly irked!!!

:( Very sorry to hear of your loss Paladin. I do not understand how these people can predict what has, or is going to happen in our lives. I am a great beleiver in "what happens is what is mean't to be" myself after a similar experience. We are all part of "Lifes grand scheme" I suppose. Or...

Happy New Year everyone-Hope 2006 brings you lots of happiness.

Many thanks ..... I also hope GC goes from strength to strength .Nathan.

fraid you needed all the answers for that :D

just e-mail me if you'd like some help, Liz

Warbaby, great to 'see' you on GC. The Christmas cake recipe thread is hysterical isn't it? but hang around and you'll have a lot more laughs, as well as getting some great gardening advice.

I want one (losing touch with reality) - it looks gorgeous, sounds gorgeous, and my goodness its fast. Not sure I would have wanted to be standing on that wall when Tif was doing his third attempt :eek:

Well done I'm sorted, dificult choice but here h**p://www.singersoutdoors.co.uk/pages/camp_lighting.htm 2nd from top, is the lantern that will do exactly what I want. I may put rechargable batts in it later or next winter. All my sheds have electric but I could hook this one on a tree or stand...

I had a holiday in Rome in 2002, I had a look at the colosseum using google earth, you can get in quite close.Nathan

I had a catalogue in the post today - rather curious, it had heaps of stuff in it that would be more pertinent to a garden centre or groundsman - bikini vases(excuse me??!), well pumps, pressure vessels and - get this - non exploding petrol cans!The mind boggles at the alternative!

make sure you get some of that pidgeon manure for your fruit trees/bushes

If you have any problems, let me know Nathan.

I agree hans, it all comes down to the fact that if you tell people its enviromentally friendly, and it provides a quick fix, people will use it. I dont think the water based stuff takes very well on pressure treated timber, in fact I dont think it takes very well on any timber. :D

Yes, I did mean 'campsis'! Thanks for your replies, even if I was on the wrong discussion forum! I'll try your advice.

That sounds just what I am looking for wonkeyeye, thanks for the info.Couldn't reply yesterday as I had the gremlins in my pc. So had to get a very nice Computer Technician here and he sorted it out in 20 mins! Easy when you know what you're doing! [ 24. January 2006, 07:39 PM:...

Hope this will cheer everyone up.Seals are regulars on the Firth of Forth and can ususally be spotted basking on the rocks or bobbing like footballs out in the sea. They breed here and in April and May you hear them mewing and calling - very spooky after dark or if it's foggy. The Sylkie...

well it makes a good story... nigeria must be full of scammers

One of those things that when you don't know looks insurmountable and then when you do know, you wonder what all the fuss was about!!
