Jeff, leave it will you?!
Me too, dammit!
I think i can see everything in Jerboa. 3 colons then 2 colons either side of the text.
That's one contented puss-cat :) we have a mini Schnauzer called Winter :) he's no baby at 13, though still gets called puppy/puppa as he's small even for a mini, plus still young at heart!
No problem, we all have slightly different ways of describing things!
I stand corrected! At least in terms of the commodity price. A product made from a raw material can become relativly cheaper through mass production or bulk buying. Also factor in weight re transport costs etc. I've always had the impression that it had a good value, if not mega pricey, at least in a way that made it unfavourable for uses like this.
They haven't transferred the money to anyone else. An ethical investment fund just selects businesses that meet certain criteria, e.g. no weapons manufacturers or tabacco companies. They haven't given a penny back to anyone, not even made a donation to e.g. a non-royal family charity or good cause, as far as I'm aware. They've just changed the source of funds for the renovations that this particular income was reported to being used for.
Don't worry, lead isn't that toxic. It takes a lot more exposure than the occasional handling to get heavy metal poisoning from it. But yes, odd to use lead as a weight (or put a weight in, perhaps it's a heat-sink?) it's fairly expensive. It could be a lead alloy which makes it more malleable, though a small peice of pure lead like that I'd expect to be easily bendable, but not compressable like clay.
You can get tree protection orders for single or groups of trees. I have a feeling you can make an application to get them protected without them being on your land.
A couple of posts back on my feed was about nasa sending a video of a cat via a laser beam. Can't help thinking they've been intergallactically rick-rolled!
