An uncle of mine had a particularly aggressive hive that he had to euthanize. Must have been about 1980. He was renovating an old house and was using a Kango hammer on the walls inside. The bees ganged up on him, his wife, two children and two rottweiler dogs and chased them through the house and down the road, they definitely didn't like the noise of the hammer action. They were stung to high heaven and when I saw him in work on the Monday morning his face was all the colours of the rainbow. He looked like he had gone 15 rounds with Mike Tyson and lost every round. Sad thing was they were his most productive hive. He told me he put a dish of petrol in the bottom of the hive overnight to do the job. Rotties wouldn't go near the remaining hives after that. FB

This is an old article but explains the situation exactly, even strawberries .https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/food-and-drink/features/forbidden-fruit-5353568.html FB

Have you noticed that commercial cut roses are no longer scented also. I think a lot of it is due to the EU restricting varieties.

The question was "can I drive with an expired MOT". We all know about the extension given, but that wasn't the question was it. FB

As I understand it, you are allowed to drive your vehicle with MOT expired, to a booked MOT appointment only. Your test examiner should be able to confirm this. FB

Inherited mine, a bit of fettling with new wooden jaws and a bit of grease and oil and its good for another 100 years. Use it a lot more than my engineers vice. FB

Still got a load of stuff in my garage that hasn't been used in years. Used to get as much height as possible in the Mendip hills and once had a return chat to a guy who said he was in Russia. Pretty good for a car roof areal and a 4 watt rig. When Mr Thatchers govt decided that the UK had to be FM and not the American AM and a licence had to be purchased, it effectively killed it Didn't think many were still using it these days as mobiles are now so cheap, you can talk/see world wide and be secure. FB

I too have a 452 American with a SAK moderator and it can be a tack driver. I do not wish to antagonise any of the previous posters as the info given can and may be valid. I have a number of shooting pals who have various manufactured HMRs and there is no doubt that after 20 or so rounds the accuracy can drift. Most of us now carry a pull through and use it a couple of times and hey presto back to normal. The HMR is a dirty round and a quick pull through isn't going to hurt. I no longer bother doing strip down cleans with copper cleaner or patches. As a matter of fact at the end of my shooting sessions, I am doing the same thing with my CF rifles as well. I look forward to hearing what the final outcome is, good luck with your experimentation. FB

Sadly weather stopped play. Flight scrubbed. New date to be set.

Going to be a fast trip from Florida to UK in 15 mins.

ISS is due overhead this evening at 2130 and the Dragon approx 20 mins later. Hoping that the clouds stay away for me to see them both. Cant say EM is a favourite of mine, but I do wish the astronauts a safe flight, both out and back. FB

I always knew there was a reason for ealf and safty. Joking aside I am glad you retained all your toes. FB

I know a lot of parents who are saying No to that idea. Until they can ensure social distancing and can guarantee it, parents are not going to risk infecting their children, teachers or themselves.There is just not enough confidence in what is coming out of no 10.

Nowt wrong with that. Looks good. FB

Used to have them on our leather parade ground marching boots when I was in the RN. Still have my grandfathers last in the garage for when I occasionally put new soles and heels on my shoes. Happy days. FB.

Best way in this instance is to take the car to a council run test centre. They do not carry out repairs or recommend where to have them carried out. I advised my sister in law to do this as she was feeling very unsafe after the local garage had been advising her that her car was in a dangerous state and that they ought to get her another car. One visit to the council test centre and the car passed with no advisories. This put her mind at ease and she has had it running fine without any problems since. FB

Petrol now 99.7 p and Diesel £104.7 at Morrisons. ASDA still to respond, but I am sure they will.

Zeadio from flea bay are a good priced bi pod. Have used them for years with no trouble on all calibres up to and including 308. FB

Have done it twice now and enjoyed it greatly. It does get very busy in the summer and many of the roads are single track with passing places. Last time I tried to "Wing it" without booking forward accommodation, not easy without Wifi. Found some lovely little eateries in the middle of no where with fantastic views of the Lochs and coastline. Go for it, the memories will stay with you. A lot of people in the UK don`t realise how beautiful the highlands are. Allow a couple of weeks if you can so you can further explore into the wilds off of the trail. I have had my car serviced a few weeks back ready to head North again, (to do the trail) as soon as the "Lock down" is lifted, will not be flying any where for a few years yet.

When I was an apprentice joiner (mid 60s) I remember the bosses son shouting "whose throwing that red dye around"? sure enough 4 passes across the blades, removed 4 fingers down to the knuckles, so quick there was no pain. Always use a push stick and stay safe. My own bro lost 4 fingers to a circular saw when a large sheet of polycarbinate jumped with a binding of the blade, luckily the surgeons were able to sew them back on again with knitting needles pushed down through the fingers to hold them in place. They are obviously shorter now and he knows when rain is on the way as he says he can feel it in his fingers!

Lorus lumibrite sports. Made by Seiko, though not automatic, batts last for years. Stays correct to the second for months, only time I ever need to alter it is when there is not 31 days in the month or the clocks change. Got loads of more expensive watches but wear this all the time.

Try petrolprices.com. It`s a free app and shows virtually all petrol pumps/suppliers in the uk Here in North Bristol diesel is cheapest at ASDA at £108.7 Petrol is £102.7 FB

What about a large tub of wood filler and a putty knife. Stay safe and check all fingers at the end of the day. Great offer. FB

Suburb offer Mel, how refreshing to see a selfless act in these days of "Looking out for No 1". PM sent with grateful thanks. Stay safe.
