LBJ will soon slink off for a while after being asked questions they won't or can't answer like backing up claims made in posts, again again and so the thread rolls around and around

What LBJ said. I think he summed them up very well.

They have to be consumed with a cheese and criggy cake picnic on a winter walk. Maybe a turkey sarnie as well.

They look like Ork droppings but I swear once you've been introduced to them there is a strange addictive calling that ensures you are hooked for life. I have my wife to blame for this barbaric eating habit.

There are many sensible, well informed vegheads, who actually care about animal welfare and seek to improve things rather than moralising and berating others over their lifestyle choices. They just don't post on these threads.

It's the old, getting on the inside to make sure the windows are cleaned properly innit. No point being on the outside washing away and telling someone how dirteh they are on the inside if you know they wont do anything aout it, you may as well stop shouting at them through the glass and help them clean them from the inside.

You must have been digging up a hell of a lot of walnuts for them all to buy air rifles. :eek:

No and please dont gest about this, it's a very personal war.

They started it. The furry little cunts.

One jar of home made 'Vegan' pickled walnuts was all I wanted but no, they had to take them all.

Not next Chrismas, oh no.

I wonder where one would find unripened walnuts...

We've got fresh walnuts but most of them need digging up after the grey squirrels have buried them. That's why a lot if walnut tree owners have air rifles.

the button has a walnut tree at the bottom of his tower block. The hordes of squirrels are in there at the earliest opportunity. You can hear the munching as you walk past :D and the little bastards throw bits of shell at you if you get too near :D
 
Talking of walnuts — the Greeks also make a really sweet preserved walnut dish

www.kopiaste.org

Glyko Karydaki (Green Walnuts Preserve)

Glyko Karydaki, is a Greek fruit preserve of small (or young) walnuts and it is one of the best Greek traditional spoon sweets.

I can’t even begin to tell you how nice this is, if you have a sweet tooth. My grandmother’s sisters in Cyprus used to make these from locally picked walnuts in their village and when I’d visit as a kid, it was all I could think about from the moment I knew we were going.

(I realise now that it takes an insane amount of time to make a jar of these but such was life in the mountains of Cyprus.)

Cheers for that. I've just pre-ordered some "wet" walnuts, which I had no idea were a thing.

My wet walnuts arrived today. They're nice but extremely mild and creamy. The main difference seems to be that unlike normal walnuts, you can open these by just squeezing them in your hands.

Button has a special technique for opening a normal walnut in his hands :eek:
 
This thread being bumped reminded me of this report by the Environment Agency on the Wye catchment which finds very weak correlation between poultry units and phosphate levels in the Wye, which I believe was discussed earlier. This is because, as I said - the units sell the manure as a product, they don't just dump it in the river (why would they, its worth money?), although some might leech from storage (where they do store it as opposed to having it carted away as it comes out of the shed, which is much better for biosecurity). The main agricultural contributors are from fertiliser (manure and synthetic) on crop land. I live in the area and loads of spuds are grown, which is a big contributor through soil loss because it will be ploughed/ridged.

They suggest returning the area to permanent pasture as a way to combat this. Guess what permanent pasture is used for? :D

I'm sure some people will be along to make up some guff about the EA being biased towards farmers in a minute.......

There's a fair bit of research done on the Wye and the Usk from a fish stocks POV. I'm a member of the foundation as a result of fishing the Wye about 8 years ago. It's one of the only subscriptions I just let run because every time I think about cancelling it I remember one of the best days fishing I ever had.
