Our method..we sort of assimilate like the Borg, after a combined span on the planet of 133 yrs if Frau Malty and I can't tell the difference it's time to go. It was easier when I was in Business, Lawyers, accountants, bankers, PR operatives, sales reps and politicians are weapons grade liars. Engineers, anyone in meaningfull employment will tell harmless fibs but are not blatant liars.<BR/>If that sounds simplistic then so be it, it stands us in good stead.<BR/>PS re your query, the malty name, It's geographical, as in Britten, Fairy obvious really.<BR/>I love the word algorithm, the quickest route to solving a problem, sounds so clever, fools the plebs.maltyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02936465848907794425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2526736757651414061.post-87489642525606268152008-08-03T16:43:00.000+01:002008-08-03T16:43:00.000+01:00Sorry about that Susan - see section 2 of this.

I've been telling people that for years 'cause it makes so much sense. Buboes are read, poseys make rotting flesh smell less horrible, diseased bodies were burned.<BR/><BR/>How do you know that's NOT true, Nigel? How do you divine the facts from the factoids? And, by the way, did you note that the neologism of the year in America (coined by Stephen Colbert) was "truthiness"? Same thing. Sounds true, but ain't.

The history wot they wrote.<BR/>Telly people have been re writing it furiously for decades.<BR/>Matters arboreal are of such great importance, on the seventy mile drive from our home to Newcastle we pass the only remaining <A HREF="http://www.a2jlp.co.uk/photos/capontree.html" REL="nofollow">tree</A> from the old Jedforest. For many years of course the forestry commission was our premier tree planter and a right balls up they have made of it, Larch, Spruce, Scots pine, Sitka r us. All planted in neat rows and even neater rectangles. ruining hundreds of thousands of acres of the British landscape. A good comparison would be with the heavily forested Taunus mountains, Beech, Oak, Maple, Lime, with a small proportion of fir trees.<BR/>Pine trees of course are an easy cash crop but for one small point, much cheaper to import from Finland. Anyone who has ever walked across a plantation two or three years after felling will have noticed the utter barren desolation left behind, no animals or birds. What is probably required is an independent body to oversee the intelligent, pragmatic replanting of trees. We have about 70% hardwood and 30% pine (mainly Scots, Noble and Larch) this seems to be a good mix.<BR/>Having said that, the drive from Oslo to Lillehammer or Goteborg to Boras is an eye opener "not more bloody pine trees"maltyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02936465848907794425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2526736757651414061.post-8922021320749673882008-08-03T13:32:00.000+01:002008-08-03T13:32:00.000+01:00WOODEN IT BE LOVER-LYWOODEN IT BE LOVER-LYken kurphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07490925117335744000noreply@blogger.com
