You may find this interesting too... https://www.gov.uk/government/publicati ... ategy-2019 Ash is a really prolific species, I am hopeful that although Chalara will knock Ash back, it won't be as grim a picture as Dutch Elm Disease.

Too right. It's just poncey Vodka!

I knew it wouldn't be popular but I stick to my guns!

Fascinating. I love this forum. Thanks for sharing.

Whiskey!? Yak!! I have to disagree with Ron on this one. Dark Rum. That's the stuff. https://www.thewhiskyexchange.com/p/453 ... kREALw_wcB Or, for those who prefer a sweeter taste. https://www.masterofmalt.com/rum/alnwic ... nwick-rum/

Brilliant. Thanks for posting.

Ah I see. Could they not just put an "out of stock" message on it? I had a Del boy type plan to glue loads of bamboo chopping boards together to sell as sheets of ply at that markup. Oh well. Back to the drawing board.

While killing a bit of time earlier I was looking at Bamboo timber, specifically plywood. Just out of interest more than anything... I found a website selling it and entered in the dimensions of an 8x4 sheet to get a price...

I find subtitles really useful too. I hope that they might help me with my lip reading although I am not sure that that isn't just wishful thinking. Have you noticed that some programmes are more dilligent with their sub-titling than others?

That's interesting. I wasn't aware that that sort of technology existed. I'll have a look into the soundbar you suggested. Ideally you'd want to try it for a week before you buy but I bet they don't offer that.

We get hearing tests annually through work, for the last maybe nine or ten years they have recommended hearing aids. But advice that I have had (including some from the hearing tester lady) has been that while they amplify the noise you are trying to hear they also amplify the background noise...

I'm 34 but have significant hearing reduction due to being stupid and not wearing hearing protection when I should have done. we have a sound bar which mean the telly is louder but the sound isn't crisper if that makes sense. regardless of the volume of the telly I just use subtitles, at least...

Where in the country?

Out of interest do you have feeling in your finger tip? I took the top off one of my knuckles filleting a fish about two months ago and decided not to listen to my wife, instead of going to A&E I just bandaged it. It's healed but I have absolutely no feeling in it.

I am currently making a collapsible work bench and sunmybobs is the method I have chosen. I would have thought bolting through to be stronger and less prone to movement.

I have had a leatherman supertool mire or less since they came out. Brilliant and it is pretty much always in ny pocket, gotten me out of a jam on a few occasions. I also purchased a second one which lives in the car glove box Obviously each individual part isn't quite as good as a tool...

I'm sure you could get some sort of sleeve to protect your dibber

That's funny Sunnybob. I saw this documentary where the machines had become self aware and sent a big Austrian guy back in time to kill the leader of the human resistance before he could be born. Luckily the melted the Austrian guy in a foundry which it seems, for now has halted the progress...

I'm slowly building my first solo, large project which has involved a lot of edge jointing, this thread (along with pretty much anything and everything else you have posted Custard.) has been immensely helpful as a reference point and my work, and satisfaction derived from the quality of that...

Totally off topic so apologies but has anyone heard of Dendroctonus micans? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dendroctonus_micans Really destructive to forestry crops, particularly Spruce of course. I went to a talk on tree disease by Forest Research and the guy giving the talk was fascinating...
