  1. Yankees Aaron Boone tossed by umpire at top of the 1st inning for something a fan shouted Umpire had previously warned Boone.. then a fan directly behind the dugout shouted something and Boone got tossed...
  2. I still find it unbelievable that you would position the photo finish camera 50cm before the finish line..... especially with the well defined finish line... I'm not right up the rules but the finish line has to be the 'finish', surely? incorrect placed photo finish equipment can't be.. I think Mr Pidcock doesn't want to say much TBH.... I know what my thoughts would have been....
  3. How many 'look at me, hands in the air, oh shit' losers so far this year been caught on the line.... especially at Amstel, see T.Pidcock '21....
  4. Feed the grass,(nitrogen feed) a week or so later, I'd get the springbok rake out or use a scarifier to remove any thatch. Then cut (very) regularly and say mid July I'd do a light scarifying but avoid if dry, autumn (late Sept/Mid Oct, repeat the scarifying again.. Rinse and repeat next year.. There are other options, just google
  5. No banging on the bin in Houston...yet
  6. Some good suggestions above.. I found applying a spring grass feed a couple of weeks before applying any moss killer, we used granular in both cases, sadly folk with no knowledge ordering the same thing year in year out and not willing to listen. Moss can be anything, cutting too short, not cutting, too wet too dry and lots of other reasons. Once you've scarified (raked)(machine or rake) it out, if the grass can stand up to it, cut, cut, cut on a very regular basis. Grass grows up the way, the more you cut the more it will spread sideways. A Summer feed around the beginning of July and more of the same.. End of grass late autumn, feed with an autumn winter type feed then scarify (no mosskiller) which removes any thatch not picked up when cutting , I'd try lighly first and if you can pick up a scarifier(good springbok rake will do) the better but as I said lightly then repeat the above the following year. Hopefully all goes well....
  7. I asked three questions.. 'The tennis is on' end of conversation....
  8. Watch it, I was Bob in Lochee 7 days ago for three hours... I see someone has posted so I'll pass Bridge of Allan, Dublin or Denny? Have you seen the cost of living in Dublin (which translates funnily as Dub Lin...Black Pool) Carry on....
  9. Destructor in my days....... Bleedin' youngsters..
  10. Reminds me of the time I worked in the council destructor...
  11. Kick Townsend out then stop
  12. I have one of those so-called Aldi mini-greenhouses.. and place trays high as possible. I also use coffee grounds sprinkled or as a liquid just as a protection. I hate slug pellets.. Sunflowers are our family plant and I have to grown more than a few.. Edit to add.. In troughs etc, I mix a handful of coffee grounds as slug deterrent and it is rich in nitrogen.. Have a google
  13. Almost time to get the seeds going for these mofos.. I'm having a much earlier attempt at sweet peas, p***ked off some well developed seedlings today into compartment trays and put some straight into 'half' plastic pots on the fence, good show last year but three weeks earlier this year. (I normally bring on my own seeds but trying Dobbies Sweet Peas £1.99 in pot ones (ten healthy sized in each pot) I do have a variety I sow myself just for cut flowers to hide the smell of my feet.... I'll do them usual time.
  14. Having been a gardener (the council said i was one) for almost 40 years... the autumn 'stripping' of dying back bedding, the soil preparation work then the planting of whatever edging plants, odd some wallflower bed then the back breaking mass planting of daffodil and tulip bulb BUT in spring the excitement and enjoyment of watching the fruits of your labour bloom . I still smile every time I see daffodils in flower.... Then in late spring the same cycle except mass plantings of annual bedding plants.. sadly the idiots in charge kept the same layouts except the plant colours were changed each year.. even now, the sowing of seeds, p***king off, potting out then planting them and watching, nurturing them to reach their peak still gives me a buzz...
  15. Those were the Dais....... sorry Ms Hopkin
  16. I have been a regular listener since the very start but some guests just grate me... sorry Susie..
  17. I was going to catch up on Sounds... thanks for the warning...
  18. The SNP can now go f**k themselves
