I am really completely overwhelmed again by the aggression and ire vented on this site.

I am happy for someone who has done something awful to get a pasting on here (Jacqui Smith for one!), but too many people take their vague preferences and turn them into something a whole lot more poisonous. All to often these are directed at small businesses who really need support in these difficult times - not a verbal assault.

I would like to suggest a 3 strikes and out rule. 3 complaints against a post / poster and get them off. Just to try and keep people interested in remaining balanced and open minded.

Wow, this place is like a tranquil walk in the park compared to the British Army forum or even Bruce Springsteen's politics site.

Or indeed another forum which is supposedly about music but which is made difficult by two crazed racist trolls and a born-again Trotskyist... Or the Lantra-L discussion list which is for professional translators but invariably breaks out into screaming over Arabs/Palestinians/occupied territories/born-again American Jews and all that jazz.

I prefer the whole idea fighting on the forum, and making love on the streets.


Pavement Queensbury rules apply of course.


Where?s the whipped cream and honey on mi tongue lets go for it especially with any pretty small businesses assistants.



I guess the most important thing is that we all have some fun and a little forum anger is good to keep us all on our toes?

      WARNING . Please feed the birds in your garden

      By Ryelander · Posted

      Looks great! but could it be possible to pinch the frames a bit tighter with some long nose pliers and add more struts to stop the tree rats getting inside? Also, the only issue with a mesh base is that it could attract rats towards your property.

      WARNING . Please feed the birds in your garden

      By Alec1 · Posted

      I struggled with the parakeets literally decimating the bird feeders within an hour.  I tried squirrel proof ones to see if they helped, but they jammed their claws in the mechanism to stop it closing.  Then the pigeons managed to do the same.  I spent a long time researching the best ideas and came across something on Pinterest.  Someone had used a metal dog cage and attached it to a wooden platform.  So that's what I did!  Once set up, you just hang the feeders inside.  Large birds like pigeons and parakeets cannot get inside.  I get all the small birds, plus starlings.  Not many thrushes or blackbirds around, so have no idea if they could get in.  The squirrels do!  It's amazing watching them slide through narrow gaps.  I also covered the roof of the cage with a piece of plastic to keep the rain off, plus I am just about to replace the cage plastic base with something more mesh like.  It can get a bit gooey after a while, so with mesh, all the dropped seed from the messy goldfinches, will go on to the ground where the pigeons can clear up.  I even added a birdcam.

      GALA 2026

      By fishboy · Posted

      Yep, of course I do - did you not read the bit from the survey about the noise having a negative impact on foraging bats? And like @Angelina I'm aware it affects other people, and if no one complains then it gives them an argument that's it's all ok.  The tree in question was a cherry that everyone loves, didn't need to be touched, and the council admitted was a mistake and shouldn't have happened.  The council and Gala use the 'local' narrative as a benefit, without any figures to back it up. It is used as an argument for the event to go ahead, when there's no basis of fact. The attendees are clearly not local as they've proved they don't give a **** about the area. The council do tell us where the money is spent - 100% on running the Events dept, and a myriad of unlisted free events. They just don't tell us how much, so that we can make an informed decision on whether the gain is with the pain.  Sorry, what was your point again?

      Leon came this evening and did a small job.  He was able to fit me, which I’m grateful for.  He arrived when he said he would. Very professional & friendly guy, offered great advice and very reasonable prices.  Highly recommend Leon! 👍
