He didn’t need to in order to win the Scrabble and indeed, speaking a foreign language needs a lot more than memorising a dictionary, though that in itself was a massive accomplishment.

Wow, my error not seeing the article date, sorry about that. It popped up on my feed this am. Better look more carefully in the future.

It’s used to promote the bud burst, and hence fruiting, so more fruits appear at the same time which makes harvesting better controlled. Hi-Cane is also used on apples for exactly the same reason. I’m not an expert, but I’d suspect the warmer weather up here would typically promote more random fruiting.

The sprays are to replicate frosts which we don’t get that would do something similar. The warmer weather probably means earlier harvests as well up here.

We live next door to 2 x Kiwi fruit orchards. Just had a notification that one is spraying Hi-Break, same thing as Hi-Cane, this Friday. Warns do not enter the orchard for 5 days!!! Seems Friday should be a day indoors for us.

I’ve got no idea. As I said I’m not a gamer, I just saw lots of Wii related posts. If you’d like to try, I could get one for you.

I’m not a gamer but remember seeing Wii files on Usenet, just took a look and there’s lots of listings like this one

Don’t know if this is what you are after, but there’s loads like that up there.

I’m staggered that anyone, even without formal training,would think removing the bolts from more than one leg at a time is the way.

When I first posted about this , it was more of a "this can’t be true" suggestion, but no, it was real.

Someone’s head needs to roll over this imo.

That’s a good question. The health effects of the previous product have caused serious questions for a long while, so one might guess the new product has been developed to cause far less issues in side effects, yet still be effective in its action.

Another thing I do is heat the espresso head plus the cups by placing them in boiling water from the kettle for a short while before extracting. Makes the coffee in the cups stay nicely hot afterwards. We only have a lower end Sunbeam machine, but hot coffee can be made in a couple of minutes without leaving the machine on for a long time to heat it all up.

Try this …

First heat a small cup of milk in the microwave. Turn the machine steam wand on, and wait for steam to emit. Then dip the end of the steam wand in and out of the milk while keeping the tip near the surface, this’ll foam the milk nicely.

That’s great news. Drilling a hole though? I fitted a Powerline adapter to get internet out to our sleepout. You won’t get full speed like you would with a cable, but no holes in floor needed. That said, for an office you probably need decent speed.
