You can use google streetview to wander around your old haunts. I do that sometimes.

The last tree disappeared from a neighbouring cul de sac about 10 years ago - now virtually every garden there has been dug up to make way for a hard standing. The grass verges are vanishing as well.

Yes I have seen it. Happened to me in France the one time but there were a pair of them :eek:

This is going to cause trouble. I think Spain have made a big mistake.

He made a big mistake taking on the Russians in the first place. Those boys play for keeps. I know he lost a few quid but he should have chalked that up to experience. He's out of his depth now.

Just been sat out in the garden watching the bats. Missus thinks I'm a bit mental, being fascinated by these 'ugly little freaks. I think they are another of nature's 'cool dudes', quietly getting on with it. Perfectly evolved to their chosen job.

Unlike humans, whose evolution has done no more than grow a bigger brain. In fact as the centuries pass, we become more and more suited to staying indoors.

Last summer the cat brought a bat into the house. How the hell she caught it I don't know.

Got up a bit early this morning (like old folks do) to spray some Nippon wasp nest destroying foam at this nest which seems to be inside the soffit by the front door. I gave it a blast for about 10 seconds, then quickly ducked back inside.

I don't have to leave the house for another 3 or 4 hours, hopefully they will have forgiven me by then :) All the same, I think I'll leave by the back door.

Wow, you were up early, I was listening to LBC at that time.

I used some Nippon stuff to clear a wasps nest many years ago, it worked, no further trouble.
