Apologies if a thread for this already exists but I couldn’t find it if so. I’ll get it going with this one from yesterday

Thanks everyone for the advice and laughs. Pictures as requested. One shows the height and maybe enough to identify type, the other shows just some of what’s growing through on our side. I’m also constantly cutting back overgrowth and ivy that is coming through the panels from their side.

Going with the reality of their liability might be the only way sadly

I totally agree, the issue is it’s not ours 🙁

The people in the house opposite us planted some bamboo screening a few years ago. It’s adjacent to the fence at the end of our garden, which we apparently own, and the bamboo is now ludicrously tall. It’s causing a couple of issues. In this wind it looks dangerously close to bringing down the...

I think no, unfortunately, for two reasons really. Firstly because a Labour government is held to a higher standard than a Tory one so the steady drip feed of negative press will turn sentiment against them quickly, and secondly turning around the country from the absolute mess of Tory...

My ‘circle of friends’ has the daughter of an incredibly famous actor. Only found out she was his daughter when I saw photos of them in a newspaper. I’ve never mentioned it because the context of that story was the Daily Mail being the Daily Mail about something private. She’s never mentioned it...

Apparently different colours do different things. Red light promotes germination and growth and blue supports strong roots and photosynthesis. Combining the two gives the pinky purple and more efficient than white (daylight) or other wavelengths apparently for rapid and strong growth of grass...

Fair point. I guess I’m thinking of anthem in the sense of songs associated with specific clubs (and maybe their region too) rather than what they come out to

The Sheffield United one to the tune of Annie’s Song as well. Even if the words are quite funny

Newcastle’s Blaydon Races was written in 1862, not sure when it became regularly sung at games but by the early 1970s at least. I’m wondering what the newest anthem is now. Hibs use Sunshine on Leith (and it sounds AMAZING with the crowd in full voice) which was written in 1988.

I stopped using Twitter a few years ago, same time as I stopped using Facebook. Nothing to do with the quality (or lack of quality) of the posts as it wasn't so bad then but looking at it now I'm glad I left. I just did a bit of a thing of asking myself how I could use the time for something...

No particularly amusing stories of avoiding people though this thread does remind of this (strong language/not for playing out loud at work!):

The police and council have been pretty open in the past about not wanting loads of people there, and the Societies will cash-in on people visiting because they could do with the money, but because people visiting also ramp up the insurance cost (which is paid for by the societies) you'll find...

I think Trump will accelerate the uptake of AI in probably dangerous ways. Musk is going to be working in an environment with minimal regulation and likely large government funding that'll see major breakthroughs we may not want and will have zero say or control over. A phrase I hear a lot at...

Someone to regularly take decent free kicks and corners. Holding up an arm apparently without purpose beforehand is optional

My Dad was born in Brighton and grew up here for a while before moving away. My Mum's side are all Geordies. My local side growing up was probably Walton & Hersham but my older brother has always supported Woking so we'd tend to go there together though we'd head up to London to see...

A good “teams like…” here
