Strangely enough, one of my 'alternative personalities' was recently PPR by the management here. His avatar was Kenneth Williams and he usually ended posts with a reference to Matron followed by a double entendre. I'm quite sad, because I liked him more than me!
Political Correctness is something i loathe ๐ฃ1 -

Political Correctness is something i loathe ๐ฃTo be fair, my AI didn't get banned for his risquรฉ comments, but because another poster complained about him and they spotted the IP address was the same, or something like that. The other poster took exception to my character pointing out how he often uses posts to demonstrate to others what a good chap he is and /or to remind people he has at least 2 holiday homes. I'd describe him as 'creepy' too, but maybe that's just me.Anyway, I'm being careful now, as I don't want him to have the satisfaction of having me banned too. Gosh, no!That would mean having to fork out for a VPN....or maybe I'd get more work done!

My Screwfix order was actually screws for some trellis I'm supposed to be making, having had the wood sitting there since April. I nail the trellis together with galvanised nails, but often need to do a bit of 'working out' for the spacing first, and it's easier to remove screws than nails when I make the inevitable mistakes.On Monday, her outdoors and I took down 82' of Cotoneaster simmonsii to base level and stuffed it all into the back of the van somehow, so now we have a heap larger than the van to dispose of. Bonfires are OK here when the wind is right, but it probably won't be sensible to attempt to burn our autumn stuff till December anyway. Ideally, I'd chip it.The cotoneaster was a huge disappointment, as it wasn't even partially evergreen, the birds weren't that keen on the berries and individual plants died in summer droughts, leaving bare bits. I know now the only reliably evergreen cotoneaster is 'lactea' but it's hardly any use for a low hedge.1

Rain's arrived as forecast, the only garden related activities today are waiting for my T &M seeds to arrive, according tho the post tracker they are "out for delivery"I'm trying to get my garden related photos in some sort of order, at least in digital albums where taken.One of the "blessing" with digital is the ability to take squillions of photos and then be left trying to sort wheat [rare] from chaff [common]With lock down I decided I'd try and compile Autumn themed album, but have quickly realised there are only so many images of golden yellow leaves before it become boring, hence branching out to toadstools etc.A work in progress but here's one from last week's Wisley visit that fits the Autumn themeEight out of ten owners who expressed a preference said their cats preferred other peoples gardens3
