When I asked if he'd been to see the MO he said, "no, one of the locals suggested it would clear up if I used some of this Kefir stuff" (I was familiar with Kefir from a couple trips to Turkey). So I asked him how many bottles of Kefir he needed to drink to contain the clap? There was a fairly long pause and then he said, "you're supposed to drink it?" 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I crush and save them and now have a large bin bag full......( I just wanted to make a can crusher really but it works so well and the younger g/kids have fun every time they visit crushing cans) "Aluminium is an infinitely recyclable material, and it takes up to 95 percent less energy to recycle it than to produce primary aluminum, which also limits emissions, including greenhouse gases. Today, about 75 percent of all aluminum produced in history, nearly a billion tons, is still in use." What one gets to know because of ManxForums. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Two-lane Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 As an adjunct to the previous post, the global warming people should be mandating the use of aluminium as a lightweight material rather than carbon fibre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't need to read instructions, oh no, not me, I press go and everything works, or not as the case is when you make your competition only available in America! So much for reducing airmiles and such. Hey. Good luck with the new venture. This is genuine advice and not a dig. DO NOT run like and share competitions. Firstly, while giving an initial boost in likes and followers they can have a negative impact on your future organic reach. Secondly, they are a direct breach of Facebook T&C’s and they could remove you page and all the work you have done building it if they get wind of it. That is not to say people don’t get away with it, but there are a couple of links below you might want to read.

Our bunting is made from off cuts and repurposed materials but you’re right, maybe isle reuse would have worked better - ah well, the original plan was much bigger but then other things happened and as ever, it is what it is.

You tell ‘er, Vibo - the nerve of some people, offering a reuse service and calling it a recycle service. And as for most people, well, what can you do with ‘em? Lucky you’re not “most people”, eh? 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2bees Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 As it goes, we’re friends with Recycle Collect so the answer would be “Yes, we can help arrange that.” But you probably already knew that, what with your third eye and all that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FWIW, I was very interested and pleased to hear about @2beesbusiness venture being up and running - and I hope it succeeds, despite the “hammer blow” of your expert view on the chosen name. Nice to see some positive business news at the moment… Edited June 14, 2023 by Jarndyce Fixed the @ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
