    I suggest you make him take the points, I am getting fed up with my oh and his 'new' laptop!
    he is having a problem with the dvd player at the mo, it is set to region 0 but he can only change the setting for a max of 5 times, he tried to put a program on it yesterday which someone told him to which corrupted it, so I had to sort it out, he keeps thrusting the laptop under my nose, with all these programs, I will put it soon where the sun does not shine, I am trying to comp etc!!
    AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

    Apparently this is a crab apple - the Robinson's prize. My maple is doing quite well from the one I won in October time (must give that a bigger pot), hope I can keep this one alive too!

    Is it edible Splodz :o I thought it was the bitter apple tree :confused::eek::o

    Nicky well done for DD, not easy getting a job now so she must have thoroughly deserved it x just hope that working with the council does not affect her ambitions :rolleyes:

    The comp said it was a crab apple seedling. The lady on the phone didn't say which plant though so I'm not sure now. The lady did say it was pretty though!

    I know you can get crab apple juice but not sure if the fruit is edible straight from the tree?

    I'll have to protect mine from the bunnies - they love apple/apple tree leaves/apple tree wood! Think my mum will leave it alone though! :rotfl:
