A few minutes afterwards he said, 'Unless you want to grow it as a standard you should always pinch the growing tips out."  He was a right Knowitall in every direction.

Geoff, I think its 238 - I've got a countdown thingy on my desktop at work 

 

But a lot of them are weekends, bank holidays, rota days off and annual leave - I shall have to do hard sums and work it out

Good morning Cilmeri - think the font thing is part of a bigger problem - I'm sure the Tech Support Team will sort it out when they get to work - maybe we should make them some bacon baps and a mug of coffee or three?

Many years ago I was growing a fuchsia cutting and I'd taken it from a friends plant with  the intention of growing it as a standard - it was doing really well and I was very proud of it, even if it was still only very much a cutting - a friend of (ex) OH came around and OH showed him the cutting I was so proud of and he reached out his hand and said .... "You should've nipped the tip out .... like this" 

OH thought it was very kind of his friend to pass on his expertise like that as obviously I didn't know what I was doing

good morning - yes we're all very small today again - and I just did a long post on here and lost it - but that was probably my fault - more coffee needed.  I see we've had some spammers again overnight - it may not be coincidence that last time the troll was sent packing (it was the same one) we were visited shortly afterwards by an invasion of Spam causing problems on the board - we've probably not seen the last of him, he's a PITA.

I'm not usually naughty Verdun - only occasionally - when justified

Good morning all - I'm still very small on here and there's been some Spamming overnight - not a lot, but   Mods have been notified. Also the comp pages aren't working right - I've told Mods about that too.

It may be just coincidence, but didn't we have trubble with Spammers some months ago just after our Troll had been sent packing the first time?

Problems

Same here - also I think there's a problem with the competitions page - I've entered most of them  before, but the notice telling me that I've already entered so can't enter again isn't appearing as it usually does.

Yup, s'posed to be working when I'm at work, so can only post on my phone when in the loo, or under my desk at a push  bit naughty really, but now that I know I'm retiring in November (did I mention that I'm retiring in November?) I'm sort of emotionally detatching from the job - losing focus a bit - ought to try a bit  harder really
