I remove by uprooting by hand. Nettles are the only food source for some butterfly larvae so if you can, leave a few 👍. If they need clearing then there are a few weed killers freely available, try to avoid Glyphosate if possible though.

As an update, the property went on the market last week, we’ve had 6 viewings and today, two offers, one for the full asking price from a cash buyer! Hopefully just the formalities to sort out and it’s gone 🤞

Israel having a field day whilst Trump dominates the headlines. Mass bombing, shootings, land grabbing and execution of aid workers. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/apr/02/evidence-execution-style-killings-palestinian-workers-israeli-forces-doctor-says

That sounds fantastic. How much of each ingredient?

Anyone had a Colonoscopy? I have to have one next week. I’ve been offered sedation but don’t really want it as I need to work in the afternoon and apparently can’t drive or use machinery for 24hrs if I do. I’ve a high pain threshold so not worried but not sure what to expect.

I tried the “golden Turmeric” recipe for 12 months but it made no difference at all. And it tasted fowl. I’ve heard other people say positive things though.

Easy for the me personally, out of that list I only use Amazon, PayPal and WhatsApp on anything like a regular basis. I suspect that list is the tip of the iceberg though.

Get yourself a trusty Nokia 3210

My favourite band atm

He belongs in the other thread, I think you know which one 👀

You've a short (or selective) memory.

Fine specimens of mankind eh… https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025/mar/25/laurence-fox-charged-sexual-offence-photo-tv-presenter

There were plenty of economists backing his decision at the time. It wasn’t even that devastating to the economy (in comparison), although it’s become a right wing go to when talking economic policy. Hindsight is a wonderful thing…

Yes, sorry for confusion, I was talking about my own personal experience, yours needs to be tailored to your own conditions. Your GP, or the hospital, should give you dietary advice, make sure you ask before discharge. Google is probably the best and worst place to look, as you pointed out, so much confusing (and often mis) information. Good luck.

Any changes to lifestyle will be challenging but believe me they soon become the new norm. It’s about educating yourself and forgetting what you knew before, although sacrifices can be hard (for me, giving up cheese and eggs). Good luck 🤞

Left wing and right wing can’t be compared anymore, I think we have a “new” right wing. They’re not strictly right wing either, not necessarily politically minded, almost like a huge confused cult with crossovers everywhere. I’ve never seen the sheer number and variety of conspiracy theories in my lifetime, albeit social media and the internet has also come about in my lifetime… It seems quite profitable to be an online propagator of the most unbelievable theories. I mean, Penelope Keith shooting JFK, who would have believed it 😂

Appointment for 3rd April after speaking with GP again.

Love her Lady and Bird stuff 👍

And sovrinty

It was/is degrading though. Which other minority groups would you like to pay below minimum wages? We seem to be fine subsidising large industry (fossil fuel, farming, the whole of the food industry etc.) for reasons of capital, yet no no sense of moral or social obligation to support those living on or below the poverty line… I’m not an economist but the whole system is broken imo.

They’re not even trying to hide it anymore, aid workers killed last week, several deaths by snipers and still the bombs are falling on civilians, many of them children. Western media is barely covering any of it. I’ve heard awful things since the (supposed) ceasefire, more violence and killings in the west bank including the IDF pushing two shepherds off a cliff, recording it whilst laughing. Another forced from the roof of a five story building to his death. These aren’t Hamas, these are Palestinian civilians. The world just sits back and watches, such is the power of the Israeli government.

“Cough” iptv “cough”

Thanks for that info, I’m actually in Wales. I’ve spoken with the appointments department who actually told me that the wait time is 18 months for urgent referrals, I’ve queried it with my GP, just waiting for a reply. I already have another type of cancer for which I receive treatment, now on a lifetime of medication and 6 month screening program for that and I know if I call them they will call urologist and I will be seen immediately. I don’t want to jump the queue though, I’m no more important than the next person so will try to go through the standard process if possible. 18 months when told that it’s urgent is a joke though, the mental anguish for some people caused by a waiting list is horrendous.

Best of luck to you. You have an excellent health system over there apparently (albeit you are paying privately) so your outcome is potentially a positive one, keep us updated - men need to talk about these issues and normalise them as health issues - so many in the past have ignored symptoms through fear of implied weakness... I was referred in December 2024, as an urgent case, to urology after abnormal psa and physical examination confirmed one side of prostate is enlarged abnormally. There is an 18 month waiting list for urgent cases!!!

The plastics industry (fossil fuel) and recycling are a big con, green lobbyists have been warning us for years.
