  1. Mozzies get the electric tennis raquet treatment at my domain. Moths, stay untill I find them on their back on a windowsill. Bees, get a stay of exicution and are released. Rats, mice, voles die a horrific death at the hands of my Bengal - Siamease cross cat (Sylvester)
  2. They are very partial to Hwangshan pine (pinus hwangshanensis) and Serbian spruce (picea omorika)
  3. Hi crep, I was thinking the same thing too, the caterpillars are definately from the whites.
  4. I don't mind butterflies however... I have a BIG problem with cabbage whites. They are a total pain. They are causing severe damage to my fir and spruce sapling crop. Love it or hate it, i've waged chemical warfare against them. They are laying hundreds of eggs in the spruces. When they hatch the caterpillars stick 3 to 4 saplings together then chew out the crowns. I don't have a problem with the others.
  5. shes definately at my house this evening, I hope she wants to stay for coffee!
  6. What a fantastic evening, two thunderstorms, amazing cloudscapes, and torrential rain. The things dreams are made of. The first storm, the sun was out the whole time.
  7. i'll mail this huge exploding cu priority dispatch. Mind you in your neck of the woods, as soon as you unpack it, it will sink faster than a fairy cake in a swimming pool.
  8. Big erruptions on radar. A couple of short vicious downpours a short while ago. Looking angry here now.
  9. I'm rather surprised theres not much chatter for fridays offerings?! Tomaz at 00:00 on news 24 seemed rather excited! Storms starting on the south coast and quickly developing north anywhere east of east wales, some sharp ones into the midlands and yorkshire by afternoon "if you get one boy will you know about it"!
  10. What I find incredible here in south yorkshire is that it is currently the hottest point of the day and It's 20z! 28.1c
  11. Something I have wondered for a long time now, how far north would sea ice develop if the tip of south america was joined to the Antartic continent by lets say a width of 200 miles? When you look on cryosphere today the ice is right up to the tip of the nearest point to South america from antartica. Surely a solid land link up would seriously alter the southern ocean flow round the continent possibly driving cooler waters up the coast of south america?
  12. Awsome day here in darton, just seeing on the news the flash flooding in todmorden in west yorks near bingley.
  13. yes today been the closest overhead of the year with 2 gunshot strikes. Plenty this year at distance. Compared to some we have had loads. Close and distant totals are 14 now for us.
  14. actually,i can see how, Hoyland is quite a way away from. Darton
  15. youre kidding right, had large hail here in darton with immense downpour!
  16. No way bro, surely tommorow for you! 19.9mm rain thus far today
  17. Crewe, you still the director general of the no storms club? Hopefully you should leave the nsc today, i'll be shocked if storms miss you today. If they miss, well, what can I say, theres no hope really lol.
  18. come on..... Spit it out, I missed it.... Enlightem me?
  19. pit... I'm starting to feel really sorry for you. I think all the members here that get storms should donate £50 toward a moving house fund to a more stormy reigon for you. Here in barnsley, especially Staincross, Mappelwell and Darton are very good hotspots. We average 18 storms per year here!
