We wanted to install 2 plants that attracted honey bees beside the walkway to the front door last year .
After a bit of research and going off availability we decided on 2 mature Pinky Winky Hydrangea bushes/plants and while they have beautiful pink and white flowers there is no sign of the honey bees .
We have a beautiful Lavander plant around the side which was a magnet for honey bees but sadly they are gone too its very upsetting .
Apparantly the major issues causing their decline is pesticides,loss of habitat ,decline in polled resources ,disease and climate change hopefully that changes soon the world need those little bees |

I was under the impression they had nipped this in the bud so to speak.
Pretty simple really , born male compete in male competitions.Born female compete in female competitions .
If you are transitioning either sit it out or simply have a seperate division/class for that group of athletes . |

I thought this thread was another one about Orange man bad but happily its not.
Not much of a wine drinking household but a friend of mine arrived out from Ireland with a blueberry wine and it was delicious .
Stella Rosa was the brand from Italy and there is Blackberry and Red also.No orange I think |

Stuck in a never ending traffic jam yesterday I listened to a superb interview retired US neurosurgeon Ben Carson gave and he touched on this exact topic SheffieldHoop along with many more
It was not the vaccine he was against (he did mention it was the first in medical history not to give surgeon warnings of the downside of getting it ) but the fact it was forced on people and the ultimatum of jab or careere loss had a devestating effect on the US .Across the board from medical to military to business ,construction and every day lives financially destroyed ,loss of pensions ,401ks etc with no apology or explanation 3 years on.
The reason I posted the Capitol Riots stats compared to the BLM riots was to simply compare the destruction and crippling effect one had compared to the other for the sake of this thread.
Jan 6th is way down on the list of issues on this election in this election its ,Abortion, Illegal Immigration , Crime ,Ecomony,Healthcare,Supreme Court, Foreign Policy Etc . |

Best of luck there its so stressful yet incredible experience hope all goes well for Mother and baby you are on your own lol.
Not sure if anybody mentioned yet but the feel of a newborns skin is like pure velvet and altough it goes away its something that has stuck with me 23 years later after my daughter was born.
Not sure its critical advice but I suggest taking a picture/portrait every 6 months up until they reach 18 its one of the truly enjoyable moments later on.
We took a yearly picture for 8 or 9 years then stopped for some unknown reason and we regret it now.
The howls of laughter each picture brings is brilliant but then the question where are the rest ruins it  .
Best of luck to all new parents its not easy in 2024 I suspect |

There were armed people there but they might have been the FBI operatives and Antifa that started all the action .
Jan 6th figures of note
1265 arrested and charges so far .
460 serving jail time including one for 22 years and one for 18 years
Damages $2.8 Million
BLM Riots .
19 people killed including some off duty or retired policemen called in to help .
700 police injured .
Damages 4 Billion dollars .
120 convicted .
70 jailed with 10 serving five years or more .
Which was the more dangerous situation and caused damage to US towns and cities that probably will never recover . |

I might have missed this over the past few manager interviews but are you allowed to ask anything club related or is there a list of questions you submit before hand .
I know its not the US media b.s where the questions already asked and answers ready but maybe they are concerned about Chair etc in this case .Has he been made available to West London Sport or anyone else btw
Maybe its a matter of time being Marti's first pre season or his command of the English language (its excellent right ?) but we will hold out hope they will make him available one on one to you Clive.
Marti is very quick to mention the fans after every match like he guinely cares this is his chance to address us directly |

A crime was committed in Croke Park today serving up that pile of crap first half in the showcase game of the year.I cannot stand the modern game of passing/pissing around instead of going for the scores its both boring and useless IMO.
I kept comparing the time on the clock and the low scores to the hurling last week when it was score after score and incredible skill and ferocious hits all over the place.
Galway blew it big time shooting horrible wides and kicking a few into the keepers hand the ultimate useless result but fair play to Armagh they held on |

Good point and most of the hard work is done during the week so sometimes the actual friendlies are just to see changes in action.
Sometimes teams mistime their preperation and that results in poor matches in the summer.
We do score some spectacular goals in those training videos on the Official website and the pace and intensity looks good but obviously not much contact .
Chair will be a massive addition when/if he is back but we still need a goal poacher IMO |

Instead of putting so called "nut jobs " who are all QPR fans who you interact with week after week maybe you should join this conversation and add something constructive like all the rest.
This thread is not only very informative but important and its not all a Donald Trump love/hate fest but a Kamala Harris one and more important a facinating look into what people see as America's future going forward .
Ignoring the opinions on here is idiotic IMO we are all adults whether discussing QPR or world events and seeing point/counterpoint is eye opening and maybe we can just simply agree to disagree like a conversation round a table . |

Wrong thread as I wanted to post on the one Clive was talking about Man Utd going on tour of the US right with a couple of top PL sides and complaining about the schedule at Christmas .
Man City sold out all their 3 or 4 preseason games in America then announced that any players at the Euros or Copa America would not be attending .
The tickets average $300 so the only top names are Haaland ,Grealish and one or 2 others and yes I am leaving out hatchet man Philiphs .
So no Foden, Stones,Walker,Dias , KDB, Akanji,Doku etc its a shocking let down for those fans but not surprising.
Why did they not mention the possibility of this happening its truly is all about greed |

We need a striker to get 15 to 20 goals a season because the amount of chances we miss is shocking.
Nothing frustrates a defense more than killing themselves stopping attacks then watching forwards either miss sitters or not even making the opposition keepers work .
Obviously Marti and Co know this but there should be someone there already learning the system unless he believes in the group he has .I hope not btw. |

That is a very fair reply GaryT and I respect your opinion and applaud the fact you are up to date with the US political sitaution right now.
The video says I enjoy a laugh and while they could have cut out her own voiceover its very accurate sadly for residents of the USA.
I am not a card carrying member of the Trump militia and have no real answers to all your questions just a few observations.
Every week I compare my income and bank balances and like most people are way off compare to the Trump years .He was an outsider and ruthless busisnessman so could not be controlled or manilupated so he ran the country like a business and fuel was $2.00 a gallon while this evening its $4.49 .Food prices have doubled in 4 years probably effected by Covid etc but that takes a huge bite .
The US ecomony depends heavily on Construction and Trumps low interest rates was the key to its boom time now its triple and housing in critical markets like Vegas and Florida is tanking which the rest could follow this winter .
No point in bringing up crime its an epedinic and rolls on every day regardless .
Going against the majority of posters on here Trump is not a war monger and we are closer to WW3 with whoever is running the US right now than any time during his presidency .That does frighten a lot of Americans and it should worry her allies too because they will not sit on the sidelines if America attacks Iran or anywhere else.
Biden is not in charge and worse he is a lame duck so he can be blamed if the powers behind the scenes start something or someone attacks a rudderless USA
Russia and China flew bombers over US airspace in Alaska this week just to see who is running the show the World is watching |

You are up and running already Boston thank you for that.
Paal looked like he had a rough game going off those highlights and we did not finish chances as usual.
Still we look like we are playing faster at least so that is good but we need goals at the end of them moves |

No matter what side you are on that is brilliant and sadly very accurate in her case.
I stay out of political threads involving England because I lack the basic knowledge of whats going on there living in America. We only get probably half the news from England over here and most of it is not accurate because the media is not reporting the actual facts.
Going on the reverse the people living in England have almost no idea what is going on in America and the posters on here are testement to that .
The cost of living is sky high , the average income is not able to cover the exrtra expenses of food fuel and of course mortage rates and property tax.The border is a fcuking disaster and the crime is simply off the charts .The Police are being completly handcuffed and the DA,s are simply releasing those scum back out to continue to carjack ,loot and shoot at will.
Joe Biden was mentally incapable to be President in 2020 yet the mainstream media covered it up so perfectly the public bought it and an old man who should be in a nursing home was "elected "and now is sent away to that nursing home basically but not yet .
If he is not mentally able to run again how is he mentally able to be president for 6 more months .Thats what the posters on LFW who are terrified of Trump should be asking today.
Trump was in power for 4 years.What did he do to destroy Europe or America in that time ?.He did the exact opposite to America ,he simply put the US first and every leader of every country in the World should put their people first then the World second .
Kamala Harris unzipped her way to the top in California ,was selected as VP without getting a single delegate in the Democratic Primaries .She called Joe Biden a racist on stage in a debate yet he selected her because he was told to do it and it became the biggest cluster fcuk decision ever.Biden and his wife hated her and now she has danced on his grave while Joe is eating porridge and ice cream in his rocking chair oops I mean the chair in the oval office in the white house
Now she is hand selected to be the Presidental nominee without getting a single delegate once again which goes against every thing the US constitunion was written for and the machine is working overtime to get her elected .
I live in America ,I see first hand what the US media is hiding here and to Europe so do not be stunned if Biden is removed in the next couple of weeks so Harris can be sworn in and then Trump has to run against an incumbant which historically are harder to beat fairly but of course nothing is fair anymore is it |

We have a rescue terrier shiba inu mix who was abused but has totally changed the house for 11 years and counting.Never a finer dog has walked this earth and we have decided as a family to all go together to the vet when the time comes to send on her way to doggy heaven .
She is known at the vets office as a prima madonna right now because she yelps so loud on regular injections she upsets all the other dogs but a few minutes later she is fine.
12 years old now with a life span of 15 max and back hips going but she still runs like the wind and never fails to be scratching the door when I step into the room beside the garage in the evening.
We are all going to lay our hands on her while the first injection is given so she knows tenderness and its our time to repay the affection and love she has given us .
Sorry for your loss BlackCrowe and Ted ,like a woman who rescues abused dogs told me a few weeks back a dog has no hate in their hearts only love |

Shocking shooting really plus very bad decision making Paddyhoops but they never threw in the towel and are worthy Champions .
They are old now and at least 5 stalwarts will hang it up so look for Cork to dominate for the next few years |

When the chips were down and injuries and fatique were taking their toll TK stood up scoring not only the goal and that point MrSheen but a stunning point late on to basically seal the game. He also set up a certain clinching goal in extra time that was blocked spectacularly by a Cork defender
Shame there was a loser really and I am not in love with extra time because too many players were dead on their feet and injuiries were always on the cards.
Clare won the All Ireland despite shocking ,careless shooting at times but found a way to hold on and are worthy champions .
Cork are very young (except Horgan so they will be back strong )
What a game from amateur athlethes just beautiful to see
