Wandering Off Topic

Never plant Laurel.  It makes a very good hedge very quickly, but it is monstrous.

As for the rest of them, keep them in check and cut them twice a year.  There isn't very much that I don't know about Hedges.

As for Creepy Crawlies, of which I am not fond, I had to learn to deal with those when I fetched up here alone some many years ago.  No good hollering for help because there wasn't anyone.  But if you really look at them some of them are quite beautiful.

I never kill anything by the way.  These things are far too important.

I have lived in peace with three Wasps Nest now and never been stung.  And my goodness, they are so interesting.

Whoops, sorry about that.

Ever laid or cast one?

What?  A Hedge?  Certainly not.  I don't like Hedges.  Why would anyone want a Hedge?  I like to see what is going on out there.  I don't care if they can see what is going on in here.

Wild life haven's if properly managed, sadly modern methods don't think of that.

Really.  But we can't all manage our gardens to whatever is your standard.

I have got this rotten little shite who thinks I've got Badgers.  You tell him that I haven't.

You tell me what you are taking about.

Just saw this..

Grieving mother tells court how her heart 'snapped' when she heard her daughter had been killed in Manchester bombing as court prepares to sentence ISIS-backing terrorist over atrocity that killed 22

yet R D Hall...beloved of CMOMM and sceptics in general ...says the bombing was a hoax...what an appalling excuse for  a human being.

Then why do you give him the publicity he so obviously enjoys ?

Don't.you think he should be named and shamed for his appalling video of the Manchester bombing.
Some of his theories are quite cruel and grotesque.

I think it’s more important that the video is publicised as little as possible. Hall obviously thrives on the notoriety his videos bring and you and your compadres couldn’t help more in that endeavour if you were Satchi and Satchi. What does naming and shaming achieve other giving you a chance to display your imagined moral superiority?

[Vertigo Swirl]

I think some people want to brush RD Hall under the carpet for bringing the sceptic cause into disrepute.  Mind you, just look at the loudest, most prominent  McCann sceptic commentators - all mad, bad or dangerous to know.  I wonder why that is...?

Based on the rantings in every comment section they can aim their keyboards at which remain largely the same now as they have been since 2007, I think your description of the most prominent aptly covers the meanest of them too.

I think the likes of Hall is a dish to be relished in private and a bit much to be consumed in public ... but a man has to make a living somehow.

What you do in private is your business Brietta.

I can see  why you and other sceptics would prefer no light to be shone on his videos. It must be  difficult for you to see his theories about Madeleine's abduction sit alongside his equally insane and frankly disgraceful theories about the Manchester bombing.
I do understand.

The veiled assertion is that, because RD Hall is a vehement sceptic in regard to the MM case, then if you even partially side with that opinion, by association you are somehow tacitly aligned in all other areas of his 'investigation'.
The lazy, crass, misguided generalisation renders all other discussion worthless.

Not all conspiracy theorists like RD Hall are McCann sceptics and not all McCann sceptics are conspiracy theorists but on a Venn diagram I reckon the majority would lie in the intersection.
