I don`t think i`ve ever had a `brummy accent`. People here in Durham say i talk posh ! Yet my brother has the most awful brummy accent & when i speak to him on the phone i have to ask him to slow down & repeat what he just said. When he talks about politics he gets so excited he may as well...

Whatever it is Eric, it looks good. It looks like there`s one in next doors garden?

I`ve not had much experience with lawns but i would have thought mixing some seed with sharp sand & scatter where needed. Personally i have artificial lawn, always looks good & doesn`t need mowing.

I do hope Posties name is James Pritchards otherwise i `ve just made a donation to a complete stranger. :grinning:

Such a shame to see such beautiful flowers hit by the frost. Time to invest in some horticulture fleece Dave.

Wow, that looks like a few of Adolph Putins shells have landed on Sutton Park !

I remember Mrs Jones, a terrible teacher. When she had to leave the room she would say, "now children i want you all to be absolutely quiet till i get back & there will be a sweet for everyone that stays quiet " Of course when she returned she would say "hands up everyone that's been quiet"...

Nice photo. Richard, all creatures have to eat, be it a lion killing a okapi, a hawk killing a mouse.or a human killing a lamb. Either eat, or starve & die. Personally if i had to kill for food i would probably die !

The bait box proved useless. I opened it to find a slug chomping away on the poison blocks. As for not feeding the birds i couldn`t do that, though i admit some birds ( Goldfinch ) scatter as many seed as they eat, & the pigeons will sit under the feeders catching the spillage. A garden without...

I`ve had a rat(s) in the garden for a few days now. I bought a bait trap & placed 4 blocks of poison inside which i checked after a few days & none of the poison blocks had been touched. I emptied the poison blocks onto a concrete slab & i was amazed to see a rat come through a gap in the fence...

I was going to say something witty like.... you`ll have to behave yourself now you`re one of us. Silliness aside, i hope you enjoy your "retirement " There is nothing more important than family. Enjoy your new leisure time.

Happy birthday Ray.

So sad to hear the new of Sospiri passing. Another friend has left us, i hope he is in a good place.

I`ve never watched Peaky Blinders but i get the impression that it`s violent, which begs the question.....why are some women so fascinated with these violent characters. Just reading some of the comments, ladies seem to be enthralled with these mobsters? I am mystified & will probably get flamed...

Chin up Maurice, stay strong.

Pete, they've probably gone with the wind.

Lovely bird. I`ll swap you 6 Sparrows, 2 Goldfinch & a Pigeon in a pear tree for one of those !

Hi Roz-Moo, i`m not sure of the house number but it was a corner house near the sandy hills. I lost touch with Mike when i joined the army, but i know he moved to Spain when he finished with his dads business ( his dad owned a lot of clubs in Brum ) I lived just round the corner in Doidge road.

Thanks oM. I will check that out alongside Petes idea of a ethernet dongle. Learn something new every day.

Thanks Pete, i didn`t know about ethernet dongles. I will have to check it out. Might be safer than me messing about inside my pc !!
