Don't waist the HEMP,, you can smoke it

back in a bit

Peter

You cant smoke it it's 'Bastard' Hemp you nutter

Id be arrested the amount I have in my back garden if it were 'grass'

You can smoke it ,you just wont get high on it..

Naval offenders had hemp rope, big 6 inch diameter rope which they had to unpick by hand.


Useless bit of info


your very fond of the 'nutter' word arn't you'

Bastard Hemp (Datisca) - D. Cannabina

is a tall and graceful herbaceous perennial from 4 to 7 feet high, the long stems clothed with large pinnate leaves, yellowish-green flowers appearing towards the end of summer. The male plant is very strong and graceful in habit; the female remains green much longer than the male; when it is laden with fruit, each shoot droops gracefully.


The wonders of Google


I aspire to be like the male plant very strong and graceful in habit.


Thank you Fan….no one said anything about getting high on it. One wonders what our Ginny does for relaxation?

Nutter...have I said that before or are you mixing it up with Numpty

Yes it is graceful and it was about 10ft high until I chopped it today!

It grows like grass and spreads the same ;)

I dont get chance to relax really. I enjoy a good book, but I also get bored easily so it has to be good from page 1

I love a few hours in the garden and a good conversation

I dont do drugs....never done much in the past either.

Pretty boring all in all

If one may cut in on all this waffle??



Sorry to hear about the choking fit Fans....but it was quite understandable.



LK - Roger is due in today's batch. I work 24 hours behind remember......if I can get started that is...



not stopped today and am getting frazzled with frustration over wanting to get things done.


Loads of pms - so many not understanding how this site works.

It takes ages to go through them all and keep explaining things in an understandable way.


groan.......

will go and make a start on Records and Tips.......

My youngest son once said to me...'mom, how do you know so much'

He was only 8 at the time and has never said it since!

Evening all

Joke for yer

An Italian, a Scotsman and a Chinese fellow are hired at a construction site. The foreman points out a huge pile of sand and says to the Italian guy, "You're in charge of sweeping."

To the Scotsman he says, "You're in charge of shovelling."

And to the Chinese guy, "You're in charge of the supplies."

He then says, "Now, I have to leave for a little while. I expect you guys to make a dent in that there pile."
So the foreman goes away for a couple hours and when he returns, the pile of sand is untouched. He asks the Italian, "Why didn't you sweep any of it?"

The Italian replies, "I no hava no broom. You saida to the Chinese a fella that he a wasa in a charge of supplies, but he hasa disappeared and I no coulda finda him nowhere."

Then the foreman turns to the Scotsman and says, "And you, I thought I told you to shovel this pile."
The Scotsman replies, "Aye, ye did lad, boot ah couldnay get meself a shovel! Ye left th' Chinese gadgie in chairge of supplies, boot ah couldnay fin' him either."

The foreman is really angry now and storms off toward the pile of sand to look for the Chinese guy ...


Just then, the Chinese guy leaps out from behind the pile of sand and yells . . . . . .


"SUPPLIES!"

Ginny, one quote have always remembered but am only just realising the truth of...

You spend your whole life learning and acquiring knowledge and you die knowing very little.

Jax - that is so funny - where do you hear them -

Rene

I just nick them off the MS site if I like the look of them Rene

Hi everyone

Cloudy wiht sunny periods today ......... and very hazy due to the smoke from the wild fires in the Interior of the province which have now drifted down to the coast.

Over 370 wild fires blazing at the moment.


I once went ot a conference with OH ... it started in Geneva with an opening ceremony that featured a panel headed by the European expert on pedagogy. It started ..........

......................... at 9 PM

TWO hours later than announced


then onto a coach to CERN, arriving about 11 PM for a tour


then onto Chamonix, arriving at about 1 am


I decided pedagogy was boooooooooooooring!

Once, when our lads where small about 7/8 we went to their grandmothers house, he said to SHE, “Mummy, when you were little and lived here, did you have oil lamps”

She was not best pleased


Ginny, you haven't said if you would be my slave

Reminds me of daughter No 3 coming home from school and telling us they'd talked about London in class.

"Have you been to London" she asked her mum.
Mum - " Yes"
Daughter - " Was it burning when you were there?"

grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr


daughter .......... fine

baby .................. fine



son-i-l ....................... aaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhh


I've always had problems with him!





ahhhhhhhhhhhhh


feel better now!

help


can anyone find anything about this Isabella Park after the 1901 Census?


b. 10 February 1847, Heversham, Westmorland
(never has, but could possibly say Milton or Milton Mill or Farm)

Parents died 1869, 6 weeks apart

1871 Census .......... at Milton Mill with brother Robert and 6 or 7 siblings

1881 Census ........... Servant with Margaret Pedder (clergyman's widow), Applethwaite, Westmorland

1891 and 1901 Censuses ......... boarder with Victoria Wildman (widow), Highgate, Kendal. Seamstress, making shirts.

The only one that I saw on the 1911 looked good

HOUSEHOLD PARK ISABELLA F 1847 64 Ulverston Lancashire

BUT the transcript says:-

PARK, ISABELLA HEAD WIDOW F 64 born KIRBY LANCASHIRE
PARK, FREDERICK SON SINGLE M 19 ELECTRIC PUMP ATTENDANT PENNINGTON LANCASHIRE
NIXON, THOMAS GRANDCHILD M 10 SCHOOL HOLY STEVEN WESTMORELAND
TURNBULL, MAY GRANDCHILD F 13 SCHOOL PENNINGTON LANCASHIRE

Thanks
