Hopefully some of both. At least RN will be there to scoop up and sell the produce.
I have issues with dogs trying to bone my leg, so this is good advice.
It's a great Irish word!
The only time I've enjoyed seeing a 2cv was when Roger Moore drove it down a hill in Bond!
I went to Cornwall in one of those - it took 14 hours (from Buckinghamshire) and we had to manually work the wipers with string.
There are still some exceptions to the rule, but technology creep is slowly ruining them. I had an Audi S4 that I absolutely adored until some eejit (that's fer you, nemo!) ploughed into the back of me doing 40mph while I was sitting in traffic. (On his phone. In an uninsured car. On a suspended license. While out on bail.) I've since gotten a Golf R which is an absolutely fun car, but they took the proper handbrake out and replaced it with a little button to press. And it's a tiptronic with flappy paddles, since manual gearboxes are getting more and more difficult to find.
Pair that with my wife's Kia EV which is as soulless a piece of machinery as you're likely to find.
California over here's decided that as of 2030, no more petrol powered cars to be sold. Which, y'know, great for the environment I'm all for that, but until they all have a universally decent range and can be charged quickly instead of needing hours and hours to be plugged in...

Serious question to be unusual - can I offer any advice on helping with your fence for the sexpond? I've done a few fences before and we get some really bad winter wind down here on the coast, and they have only ever gone when the wooden panels rot, the posts do a good twenty years.
First up, what is your ground like, and how tall are your posts; along with what type of post and panel are you using - do they have any wind breaker features? I know a lot of panels in the East end Midwest have slatted boards that alternate to allow some wind pressure to pass, unlike the ones we get here.
I can give you some numbers, and more in a pm if you want some non-condescending advice, as I really am not taking the mick with this - fences are bigassed jobs and it sucks donkeyballs when they fail, so I can understand how frustrated you must be.
Rule of thumb I was taught was to go down one third of the above ground height, normally to 2 feet, but don't forget to add a couple of inches of gravel below for drainage. Perhaps as importantly though is that the hole is 3x the diameter of the pole, but more if using narrow poles. This is for bracing really.
Anyway, let me know if I can offer any help, as a lot is often missed if you follow YouTube stuff if you know what I mean, especially if you aren't doing a dead straight line.

Is there a Priest in the house? PiLhEaD is clearly possessed and is speaking in tongues.
Oh no, He's a Londoner & caught scotch...
Bring him back to London now and administer some jellied eels.
It is a bit out of character I agree!
But a fence failing is like a kick in the crotch, especially if you have worked it yourself, so I feel for our dear Ender on this. If he wants any help though, I'll leave the room so there is no disturbance to the SotG force!

Business as usual, reading around...
I think the servers are trying to decide if my Christmas photo is allowed.
Either that or I'm an emoji thing with sunglasses?!
Oh noes. Ender took it over...
Careful now....!
