Phillip Scofield can do one. Every time I hear him advertising 'We Buy Any Car' I get VERY cross, and I'm a pathetically easy going individual.
That company is just there to string along the desperate - and surely Schofield doesn't need the cash

Tomatoes in pots would be good to start considering at this time of year. Herbs, as mentioned, would be good. Can you post a couple of photos to show how the light falls?

My son is going on the anti war demo. So is his girlfriend. She's Russian and is totally against the war and says her friends in Moscow are too. Her brothers are worried about conscription. Very concerning

Man remembers a childhood/ youth with little trouble, a little inflation may be, strikes, no tinternet, not much to worry about.
Fast foorward 40 years ish and the youth of today will remember, Brexit, Covid, global warming, terrorism, war in Europe, houses they cannot afford. We have not done a great a job for our children and yet they are very inclusive, care for each other differences, much more aware of bigger issues. They deserve so much better.

Mine look like a burnt fence.

Sounds about right. Most I speak to are football fans at the end of the day and they don’t wish us any serious harm. Maybe they didn’t really think it was possible we would be liquidated so it’s banter city, our situation is beyond banter though.
I think we’re justified to feel a bit sensitive this week.

In terms of data, just wondered if anyone brighter than me at these things would know if we could access EFL emails between them and Boro to see if collusion occurred, via FOI?

I don't have the time to go on the Boro or Why sites, but if anyone else has, it might be worth letting them know that football has a long memory and in the same way that some people have not forgotten nor forgiven (eg) Bob Lord, in the same way they will be the same. Neither forgotten nor forgiven

Just sent this to my MP (Darren Henry) - a tidied version of some earlier ones
Dear Mr Henry
For context, many of your constituents on the border of the county support Derby County.

 I’m writing to you as my MP because there’ is a very real chance that Derby County could go out of existence in the next two or three weeks due to an impasse between the Administrators and the EFL.

We have three credible bidders but cannot name a preferred bidder (according to the EFL) until we have settled potential lawsuits with Middlesbrough and Wycombe.

This is unlikely since these potential lawsuits are for around £50m and are also highly speculative. Middlesbrough are claiming our questionable financial accounting helped us get into the playoffs at their expense and Wycombe are saying  they were relegated by one point when we had financial irregularities which should have seen us relegated.
As Derby cannot name a preferred bidder (with their £5m non-refundable deposit), they therefore run the risk of not having enough money to guarantee fulfilling fixtures until the end of the season and and consequently may be unable to pay players this month. This non payment of players will in turn result in further punishment for the club.
My key point is that it might therefore be argued that the EFL's actions seem to be deliberately prolonging the impasse between Derby, Middlesbrough and Wycombe, a prolongation which in turn might be used by the EFL to threaten Derby's existence.
We have already had 21 points deducted due to the fiscal mismanagement of the previous owner Mel Morris who simply put us into administration and walked away.
Would you please speak to the Secretary of State and also put some pressure on the EFL to allow a preferred bidder to be named so that we can move on and complete the season.
It would be a travesty of justice if a founder member of the Football League with a Premiership stadium in a football-mad city and county was liquidated due to total intransigence.
Yours sincerely,
