Re: Kill a rabbit
Agree totally with MIE. 1. Start with the 'Priest'. That should put the rabbit out cold - maybe even kill it. (It kills fish). 2. Then adopt the Islamic approach; ie. a single slit with a razor sharp knife across the jugular. Hold up over a bucket. Wear overalls or something your not too fussed over...

Re: Winter 2010 and Spring 2009 photos of my Garden
Nice pics!
And amazingly similar architecture to here! Did a lot of Swedes once migrate to that part of the states?

Re: Late post
How things have changed in GreenGrocers shops since I last visited one in France!
Last time I saw one of those boxes it had Oranges in it.
Do they do mail order delivery? If so. I'll have a half dozen!

Re: Still picking tomatoes
WOW! Very impressed. Still got Toms in January?
They wont grow here even in July!
(Not because we dont get lots of sun I hasten to add. But because by the time the evenings are mild enough it's too late to plant 'em and I dont have a glasshouse).

Re: Travelling Around Europe
Hello Derry, As you are based in Brum, I'm going to assume you are an EU citizen? In which case, you'll need nothing other than a valid passport to visit those countries. And to travel between most of them, not even a passport. (There are no passport checks between France and Germany, for example, b...

Re: Lack of allotments or a lack of use of existing plots?
It's been a long time since I had an allotment. (Back in the mid 1990's). But I recall the same thing being an issue then. I knew a chap who had taken on some - and didnt work them. He said that he had them because, otherwise, the council would say that no-one was interested and sell the plot for bu...

My Mother had them too. And she could eat solid old toffee better than me! (And no, they didnt even need to come out at night).

Re: iced in!
Aww... sorry to hear some of you are struggling and fed-up with it!
Never mind, it shouldn't be there for too much longer.
As for me. I love it. And I'm not expecting to see the back of it for another 2 months...!!!!

Re: Our "Leaders" fail to lead - so what next
Whatever the rights and wrongs, Blaise Pascal put it pretty well with his famous 'Wager'. And I cant see any reason to not apply that wager here:- 1. Assume that we all change our behaviour and consume less and pollute less. 2. If it then turns out that Global Warming IS caused by Human Activity - t...

Re: Anyone here hunt?
I fish for pleasure and food. Hunting with firearms is possible over here but it is pretty restricted. It has always seemed to me that if you are not a veggie, the only -Ish way to obtain meat is to 'grow' it or hunt it. Meat should have as free and natural life as possible before it ends up on a pl...

I no longer believe in ' global warming' caused by humans ----------------------- No longer believe? It's not a question of belief or disbelief. It isn't a religion. 'Global Warming' is made up of very many individual human acts. It isn't one single item. But a large human cake baked of many ingredi...
