There are an estimated 34.5 million sitka spruce trees growing in County Leitrim alone.
There’s an organisation called Save Leitrim who want to diversify the nation’s forests and plant more native breeds. I agree with them.

It’s a no brainer. I was listening to one of them on the radio a while back and they were saying the Spruce trees could be 40m plus high growing in a field near you and basically blocking all natural light into your house.
Of course they are used for that very reason they grow fast, straight and tall, and are easy to make into timber.
An oak or an ash tree is a much smaller and much slower growing tree

The main problem with those cunts of trees is that they support no biodiversity. They turn the ground acidic so nothing else will grow there. Deciduous trees increase biodiversity.

I have been using the electric scooter scheme in Scandinavia. I have been very prudent though.

@Little_Lord_Fauntleroy will be on shanks mare for the foreseeable to offset this trip down under. He’s right to go now before climate change really hots up
If a halt isn’t called soon we’ll be hemmed in by those bastarding things in 20 years.
They’re nothing but a blight on the landscape.

If stuck for something to open a beer bottle while driving, the clip part of the seat belt is perfect for popping a bottle cap.

That’s taking drinking and driving to a whole different level.
Didn’t think you could still get glass coke bottles in a vending machine
Ossuary
An ossuary is a chest, box, building, well, or site made to serve as the final resting place of human skeletal remains. They are frequently used where burial space is scarce. A body is first buried in a temporary grave, then after some years the skeletal remains are removed and placed in an ossuary.

The highest number anybody has ever counted to is one million
How long did it take?
There are no Penney’s/Primark outlets in Co.’s Cavan, Monaghan or Fermanagh…
15 days?
Longer, the chap counted out loud from a screen non stop for sixteen hours a day,
A million is a massive number
A month
It was three months (almost),
Takes a long time to say 787496
