Morning mate. Honeysuckle is amazing stuff. You can hack it back brutally and it still comes away again next year. I'm not sure what varieties I've got but the one in my back garden smells wonderful and the bees absolutely love it. It got hacked back last year when the fence got replaced, but it's got a good amount of growth on it already.

Sorry to hear about your reaction. It's a bugger when that happens. I'm allergic to sticky jack weed and my skin comes up in a red lumpy rash if I touch it. Have a good easy day 😘
Ah, it's nowt, man. I've been on this daily prescription stuff called Dymista for a couple of years now & it definitely helps to reduce the symptoms.

Good news: my NHL mate sent me a message last night, with a photo of him in his jamas, with a nurse (it's garn arl Carry On - matron!) & a tiny bag of stuff being introduced intravenously: well, that's only his flippin' T-cells! Hopefully, this will save his life. I ribbed him a bit (smashin' jamas, mate, whatcha do, nickem? Joe Brown, 70s public information film style) & then a few minutes ago he sent another message. Here's an extract:

"Had a good laugh at your text, thanks. I had my parrot shorts on until it got chilli. Funny enough, I saw it as such a big day it took me 5 minutes to work out what to wear. Then I changed my mind. I will save the parrot shorts for another photo.
All ok so far. The NHS are the best. Everyone here is wonderful. By the way Alex, the nurse in the photo loved my parrot shorts. Wait until I show her my boxers!!".

The emboldened text is mine, the grammatical errors, arl his, ha, ha.

Wouldn't it be wonderful if this therapy works for him? More wonderful still if it can then be made available to all, over time? It's a dream worth having....
 
Morning marra. This is a brilliant recipe for naan bread. I've made it loads of times.

Cheers, I’ll try it someday, I’m making the WW version for the point counting Mrs Duck.
 
Nee sun here, like. Bit rain last couple of days, but nowt to trouble Noah.

I'm sorry you're not feeling great, Red, la. Hopefully, the pain will soon subside. Take it easy & try not to get too stressed as that will only make it worse, as you'll know only too well.

Honeysuckle is the business. The scent it releases is divine. The variety I planted a couple of years back is "Heaven Scent", which kind of sums it up. It looked like it was dead last autumn as it'd been ravaged by aphids & caught black spot from nearby roses. As a last ditch attempt to rescue it before digging it up & sending it to the great trellis in the sky, I pruned it to within an inch of its life & right now it looks healthier than ever. Nature is marvellous & takes all the credit. I haven't got a clue what I'm doing & simply got lucky. Pity we abuse & neglect it the way we sometimes do. Mind, I also like the fact that an alternative name for honeysuckle is Woodbine: reminds me of me da's tabs, ha, ha.

Was thinking of doing some hedging but the hedges are rain-soaked so that's put paid to that idea. What a shame. I might have to take it easy instead. I don't mind the hedging, per se, but I'm buggered for days afterwards due to my increasingly severe allergic reactions which, over the last few years have recruited my IBS symptoms too, so it's a nice suite of breathing problems, thumping headaches, severe pains in gut & bowel & joints & generally feeling like I've been run over by a small truck (not a large one, that would be exaggerating). By the time I've recovered, it's more or less time to hedge again, ha, ha. Good old Sisyphus! Mind, you & many others have things far worse, so I'm not complaining, just trying to empathise.

Morning, all. As Ken Dodd said: Did any of us in our wildest dreams ever think we'd live long enough to see the end of the DFS sale?

Enjoy yasels. Box clivva....
Morning Cloughy what you need is a hedge fund and pay someone else to do it. Your time is better spent creating scripts and anecdotes for this thread.

have a safe day marra

Awww he sounds class. I wish him all the best 😘
 
Hope you don’t mind me asking marra, but where are you from originally, your username would suggest a blue scouser but wouldn’t be the first time that’s been misleading.

I'm Danish - born in Copenhagen in 1971. Moved to Norway in 1999 and had a short spell in London in 2002/3. Moved back to Copenhagen in 2013. Blue since EFC beat Coventry 6-0 in some TV-transmitted game in 1977.
Bought 1 Margherita pizza and a tin of anchovies (makes a Napoli pizza) and 6 cans of Guinness yesterday, now chilling in the Fridge for later.
You love your pizza cold?

Ha, ha, yes, a hedge fund would be nice, Music, la. I did hev a Bayleaf (a pair of Bayleaves to be precise) a while back but, despite being canny lads, they were unreliable, so I hed ter get me owld Bosch out agin. But that's another story entirely....
 
Morning Wakey & morning all. πŸ–

The good news is, I've got today and tomorra off work (GTFI) πŸ‘

The bad news is, I'm having trouble accessing the PF forum (BOOOOOO !!) :cry: :cry:
I can only get on here, if I first click on the "new posts" function, which is better than nowt, I s'pose. πŸ˜‘
Anyway, it'll probably sort itsel out, eventually. πŸ™„

Have a good & safe day, Wakey and all Hankees & Hankesses. πŸ‘
 
Aye, I wez wundrun whee this Sticky Jack gadgie was, like. Is he thin, claggy or burth?

Galium aparine

It's a bugger! Grows like wildfire and sticks to everything. Neither neighbour bothers much with their gardens apart from mowing their lawns, so I get attacked by weeds from both sides :(
