They serve no useful purpose, other than to highlight the selfishness of car owners who are already polluting our air with their fumes and cluttering our streets with their ugly metal boxes.


One is currently going off, repeatedly, in my street and is sure to disturb me for most of the night. If ever there were an example of anti-social behaviour, it is leaving a contraption making an almighty din parked in a residential area.


This does really quite anger me.

Trump.


This so does really quite anger me.

I find your assertion ludicrous sir. If we were to work on that logic we would have to shut down the power stations to prevent people being hit by trains.


In my mind there is no doubt that the blame should be laid squarely* at the feet of the manufacturers of audio devices.


* How exactly you lay something squarely I have no idea.

Works for me, how much more romantic the age of steam, when men were men with moustaches and galoshes, and ladies were not afraid of whalebone.



Still, I'm afraid that someone may steal my Hansom; perhaps I could procure myself an urchin from East London and have him installed to screech loudly should any undesirable approach too closely, or if the skies thundered as they do when there is too much ether in the air.

It is all well and good to look back with nostalgia at the availability of urchins and constitution of the women in times past but believe me it will not feel so romantic when you are shoving a handful of leaches down your trousers 3 times a day as treatment for the 3rd degree burns you received from your steam powered mobile phone.


Do I get a prize for the world?s longest sentence?

See another useful thing about trees is that they help to absorb the sound of car alarms going off in the middle of the night Mr JRussel, just imagine how loud and echoie* they would be with no trees to deflect and absorb the sound...


Can I suggest planting more trees along our roads to help curb the menace of car alarms at night...


*is this a real word ??

Replacing car parking spaces with trees would be an acceptable use of street space. It is when we try to accommodate both that there are problems.

It is now LP.

I could see it catching on as a name too, 'I christen this child Echoie Green'. Has a nice ring to it, that.

      Has anyone retrospectively fit aircon in a loft conversion?

      By vladi · Posted

      Have you considered PIV - positive input ventilation. We retro fitted a Soler & Palau super quiet in-line fan system. This takes cool air from the outside ans is ducted into the loft. It is really quiet and very efficient. It is controlled by a reverse thermostat ie one which shuts the system off when the temperature drops to a set level. We are very pleased with it especially as it costs a fraction of a/c and provides greater flexibility in terms of location of vents and ducting.

      Tree Killer – Seeking Advice on Dealing with Toxic Neighbours

      By FellbriggSam · Posted

      If you’re into nature or just love trees, this lovely program is worth catching up on https://www.channel5.com/show/the-secret-life-of-trees It’s one of those quietly fascinating watches that leave you thinking about the world a bit differently. I had no idea that trees are connected underground by fungal networks. They use them to share nutrients, water, and even to send signals to each other. They can recognise their kind and give more support to their “relatives” than to other trees nearby. They can also remember things like droughts or pest attacks and change how they respond in the future. No wonder so many cultures and spiritual traditions view trees as sacred. In some belief systems, cutting one down is thought to carry serious karmic consequences. When you learn about how they live, communicate, and support one another, it makes sense. The natural world is far more aware and interconnected than we tend to realise.

      I installed an all-in-one air conditioning unit at my holiday home since I wasn’t allowed to have an external fan unit outside. It actually works just as well, was easier to fit, and although it’s slightly noisier, it’s a good solution overall. https://www.orionairsales.co.uk/all-in-one-air-conditioning-142-c.asp?srsltid=AfmBOopZSVZj1_utAO-Hr4m5M323nRZru6Zmf1YuT4KP2touJ2OLaruU

      Does anyone remember an incident from the late 90s/early 00s in which a young man fell to death from Dawsons Heights?

      Having enjoyed a day with Sayce HolmesLewis, I understand what you’re saying.  I appreciate your courage responding on here.
