Just enjoyed a lovely bass cooked on the BBQ.  Not being very scientifically minded, if I was to bury the remains, head, bones and tail and plant something on top would it rot down and become what we know as blood, fish and bone ???

After the first year the seed feeder became crowded with Blue Tits, Great Tits and Nuthatches.  With Chaffinches and Robins feeding on the discarded seeds off the ground.   We have 2 cats and have only had one  fatality (bird).  When we put broken up walnuts (had lots a couple of years ago) we had Woodpeckers and Tits but cannot find a bulk source of peanuts locally...Will plant Caki tree and keep hunters out of garden...very ferocious dog....NOT !

that all benefits are not 'Means Tested', then these arguements would not occur.  If they were, the needy would recieve help and the un-needy would not.

with Flip. Having worked for the NHS for a number of years and now see what the cut backs have done, I honestly do not think that those who have elected to become residents or even worse, permanent residents in another country, EU or not should be entitled to claim such benefits.  Even though I am a UK resident I will be unable to claim my pension until I am 67 yrs old, by which time there probably wont be one,  let alone winter fuel payments, if they still exist when the time comes to claim.  (15 yrs time......)  Mrs Dylano.

This is, as you say Rickardo, a 'community' site.  Communities are a mixed bag of people and they all should try to get along, accepting we all have opinions....You cant get rid of the ones you just don't like and reel in a new lot.....Sprostoni has given good advice in the past and I for one will miss him.
