  1. Mine did it when I filled it right up once. Just ignore it or cancel the warning and it will go away. There's not really anything wrong. Had the same on a lot of tractors with the fuel, I think once you fill past the max of the sender it confuses it and says it is low. As you use it the level drops below the senders max and it is happy again. If you are really worried (and there is no reason why you should be) you could syphon some out and see what happens. I don't recommend doing so as chances are you will get contaminates in the tank somehow.
  2. Or he could just be bluffing to protect his cover.
  3. Parsnip? Certainly scalds pigs. Car batteries cause lead poisoning rather than acid burns, quite common actually and would expect the vet to have ruled that one out.
  4. I can log in but can't change or update my password/account.
  5. I don't think it does and that is the problem.
  6. I'm not really sure what we are looking at. Hogweed will cause sunburn/rash/flaking skin, especially in this weather. photosensitivity Dandelions and sow thistles will cause a black/darkened tongue. Acids Oak will darken the tongue too if the leaves are chewed due to the tannins
  7. Those folk in Germany where the floods were would probably have appreciated some warning. I expect that has some influence on it. I have been to Australia and have been in 45+ temps but no I have never really enjoyed anything at 37C (other than a pasty at that temperature)
  8. I like them. Good stuff Scully.

    Mammal ID

    Could well be a pine marten but I had seen it I would have said polecat.
  10. I have always had access to some very powerful insecticides, most of which are banned now but I have never had anything more effective than Nippon Wasp Nest Destroyer Foam. The nest is dead and inactive within 30 minutes, astonishingly good stuff. I don't kill every wasps nest I come across because they do a great deal of good controlling caterpillars etc but sometimes the nest is where they are a nuisance so have to go.
  11. While shooting clay pigeons I asked if it was allowed to hit both clays with one shot. I did exactly that with the next shot, deliberately. Have shot two crows with one shot of a .22 by deliberately ricocheting off a rock to get the second one. Have lined up two rabbits and got both with the rifle, did it with a pair of pigeons sitting on a fence too. One fell one side and the other fell the other side. Most with one shot was 6 pheasants with 12g. Not sporting but it was for food not fun. Heard many tales of how many pigeons you could shoot with one cartridge in the 1963 winter as they fed on snow covered cabbage/sprouts/caulis. None worth picking up because they were starving and no meat on them.
  12. It was the frostiest April in 60 years, that was country wide
  13. Do you not remember all those frosts we had when the cherries were in blossom? Your tree doesn't need replacing.
  14. Hilarious that it is drinking straws that got banned rather than a 22
  15. If it is purely to fulfil any legal obligations to scare birds just wave your arms and say "shoo shoo".
  16. I would have said honey bee. Google backs it up with a caveat of maybe more than one sort of honey bee.

    Flower or Weed?

    I don I don't know what it is but I do know it isn't goosegrass
  18. If it kills you it will be written down as covid though. (get well soon)

    Hunter scopes?

    Gloss but not mega shiny, not very shiny at all now as it is fairly knocked about. I have never been precious over it as it spent a lot of the time rattling around in my truck but nor have I been rough with it. I see no reason why it won't last a long time yet. I can't remember how much it was but seem to think it was the same price as a gun would be. It was an extravagance to buy it at the time, nearly broke my heart to discover you had to buy mounts separately.

    Hunter scopes?

    I have a Hunter scope, bought it new from Henry Monks in Chester. I think it must have been in 1980. Had it on my Dads .22 BRNO for years, it was and still is a damned good scope and accounted for thousands of rabbits in its time. They come up on eBay from time to time but I am afraid I don't know much more than they came in a red box.
  21. One of the sadder consequences of covid, the amount of unworn prom dresses on facebook marketplace. (not sadder than granny being dead but you know what I mean) Local FB was saying how sad it was that they could hear primary school sports day yesterday and none of the parents could attend. I think that's just stupid not sad. They could easy have held it in a fortnight and in any case all the kids mix and go back home with whatever disease they picked up in the day (as has always been the case) so what difference would it have made anyway to be standing outside and probably wearing a mask too. This is where the fear mongering has now got us.
  22. 👍 Thanks for doing the adding up bit
