It clearly isn't going to start, mate, so instead of turning it over and over and over, until you flatten the battery, why not find out what the problem is.

All the negativity in the world. Some people have nothing positive to say about anything. My old boss was one of these and he doubted everything he ever saw and heard, as far as he was concerned everyone was a liar and everything was a con out to get him. I'm so pleased that I got away from there before he brought me down to his mindset and now I try to distance myself from anyone who is a miserable beggar and isn't grateful that they've woke up in the morning.

Trying to upload some photos, and they are all turning themselves sideways again? I don't understand why sometimes they are ok, and sometimes not?

This morning, every time I tried to type a dash, I got an equals sign What was I doing wrong? I was watching my fingers and everything



Then I remembered.

I'd taken all the letters off the keyboard to give them and it a much needed clean. And put the dash and the equals blocks back switched around.


Stoopid or what? Doh!

Twenty minutes of a humdinger of a thunderstorm and I've lost beetroot, fennel, lettuce, turnips and wallflowers and my big sunflower. That I've spotted so far.

That's awful, is any of it repairable? Its amazing how plants can be patched up. We need an "I'm so sorry button"

^^^^^....,,people who chat on rant thread!...you really think they would know better eh?

[Bill HH]

Why can't you make a comment on someone's rant? If a member says they have just run over their dog and now their wife has left them, I would feel it rude not to at least say Oh well, never mind.

And then we had a really bad storm in the night - 40mm in about half an hour. The pond has been badly damaged by water getting under the liner and raising it so pushing the water out.
River rose from its normal 35cm to 3m.
But my water butts are full
