  1. Yassss min,that was a ling injury time. Good results elsewhere
  2. Nae giving up on the boy yet.Maybe he's got the idea but needs to pass the batton on to someone who can manage it Heres someones explanation of how it works,though I think in barren places you need feed initially as per vid below - Summary of the method for those confused by the video, it "mimics nature" like the million animal herds of the Serengeti but with livestock. Because of the amount of manure & trampling in such big herds, the animals keep moving. This system moves the animals daily, but keeps them in as small an area as possible while giving enough food for the day. That means as much manure as possible & as much liquid as possible in the form of livestock urine. After one day's grazing, the fertiliser is allowed to do it's thing & stimulate plant growth. The animals only return to that ground once the plants are fully grown & therefore at maximum nutritional value - imagine eating wheatgrass v fully grown wheat plants, complete with wheat grain. Most farms let the animals graze at will, creating a wheatgrass situation, this system allows the plants to grow beyond baby stage & produce heavy duty food! (and root length matches plant height, which means an end to erosion & water run off too). On ground with NOTHING growing, they lock the animals onto that ground each night, as tightly backed as possible for a week or so, then move them out to better land for food each morning. The nightly urine & manure means a thick slurry of microbial life, breaking of the surface crust & lots of moisture to stimulate any seeds in the ground & manure into germinating. That new grass is allowed to fully mature before the animals return to eat it & refertiliser?
  3. Only done bits of the WHW.Spot on about the other 2.Great glen way started slowly but got better and better.Speyside way we were annoyed at how little of it was beside the Spey,some pleasant enough easy walking at times though Cape Wrath trail is highly recommended https://www.walkhighlands.co.uk/cape-wrath-trail.shtml Hebridean way may be something different too
  4. Made it to HT.Backs to the wall second half 2 - 1 Hearts 1- 0 Celtic Hibs down 1 - 0
  5. Cheers Keep it up YR
  6. Have you tried any of the coast? If you head into Muchalls,follow the road round to the right,you'll come to a parking area.Park there,and follow the track under the bridge.Some cracking stacks of rock,and inlets to look at,after youve watched the sun rise on the horizon obviously(8.30am). Old Findon,park down at the far bottom left.Theres a path along the coast so far.And at the South end of Stoney,park at the start of the path to Dunnottar(ie not the main Dunnottar car park). Take a detour down the edge of the fields to the cliffs.We sat there for ages watching various birds coming and going mid summer. Pity theres not a continous path fae Stoney to Cove.Caution - Keep the bairn on a leash,some sharp drops Inland - The woodlands between Banchory Devenick school and Leggart tce.Theres a car park there.Some nice wee walks,around half an hour.Couple of old small quarrys,decent Deeside viewpoint. You can walk up the edge of the Dee from the Dee bridge a fair bit,and also from the Maryculter bridge down,but theres not a continuous path.Same at the Park bridge. If any of the above hills are doable,I'll give you more info.Scolty hills also a dawdle with a fine tower viewpoint.Head to Falls of Feugh and turn right til you see the Scolty hill signs Crathes castle woodland walks are good,free,...cafe a bit meh,with a fine adventure area,maybe for older kids though(£3) EDIT - Sunset at Loch of skene - Theres a car park space on the Loch side of the road(B9126) that runs from Garlogie to Skene.Stopped there on the way home one night.Short walk to the lochside with paths round the edge.It was also the gathering point for hundreds of geese at that time of day(sunset) from all directions.Impressive sight/noise ....right,away to check out some of these unSavory findings
  7. Sake min,half an hour of hope crushed already Got any links? Found this one(among mostly positive comments) in the comments section.Seems to be his lack of data to back his ideas up ?https://www.sierraclub.org/sierra/2017-2-march-april/feature/allan-savory-says-more-cows-land-will-reverse-climate-change Another good listen(to me at least)
  8. Well its outdoors,nae sure where else to stick this Alternative solution to climate change?.Goes against what we thought....
  9. Agree with all that.Would add,I'd prefer we employed an attack with pace v Celtic,and with guys that can move and receive the ball quickly.Taking the big man up front out of the equation,rarely succesful IMO,you would hope might force more invention.Thought McLennan showed a bit of promise today,and nothing to lose trying Anderson in stages from now too A bit sad when were relieved we only got beat 1- 0 though
  10. Good indeed.No surprise though,a shitehouse from top to bottom https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/46403987
  11. Bar a bit of stubble,never grown any facial hair myself,but thought a mouser or 2 might trick some of our limp blouses into more Samsonish attitude ..eg Christine Forrester and Larry Gleeson.
  12. Loved Stuart Kennedy back in the day.Remember randomly bumping into him in Blackburn that summer and asking when he thought he'd be back.Was quite hopeful he'd be back earlyish in the new season..... Never played again. Great player,great moustache.Bring back the mouser,enough of these creepy Amish beards....
  13. Swap McLennan for Anderson and youre onto something there as you say though canna see it .A more likely surprise would be with Tansey at centre half,or Ball on the wing
  14. Considine in for Devlin.See how it pans out but you can tell early on if Wilson is up for it or not.Hope Del recognises it quickly and gets on Anderson,or my pref,McLennan Tough game,but a potentially good line up. 0 - 2 Dons May x2 COYR
  15. Change of scene to the big band sound.Buddy Rich looked like he was cha'in a wasp,but him and his band made some great stuff.Some top snare work near the end https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TRJWFj7EXu8
  16. Glorious weekend most places. En route to Skye Chance of a fog inversion in some places. Recommended - Barmekin hill, Echt good for sunset, old Fort at summit, under 300m. Hill of Fare,Echt good for sunrise at mast, sunset at the summit. 471m. Tap o Noth near Lumsden, old hill Fort, sunrise and sunset,560m
  17. For all Shinnies flaws,his will to win is good for the side,something I dont think we have much of.Also think its good to have a senior local loon in the side,....like Robson and Anderson added to the feel good of the '14 side. Cant see any obvious candidates out there that suit what we need in his place either
  18. I would see if our current line up gets into a bit of rythym,maybe switch on Wilson along the way,.....otherwise aye,drop Wilson for either Anderson or Mclennan
  19. Playing with a lot more porpoise and basking in the praise.Maybe the captains armband will be enough to net his signature?...
  20. Sunday evening's sombre enough as it is. Tower of Power
  21. Absorbing game rather than eye catching,but a good deserved win.Thought Hibs were mostly poor,as much because of good aggresive defending snuffing out attacks early,plus Kamberi's woeful finishing Like Andy C,but Lowe looks so much more natural in there.GMS,McGinn both good,May worked hard,pity he didnt just lob the ball goalwards first time for that chance.Wilson had a couple of nice touches,but didnt really get a sniff. A strong starting line up,hoping we start getting a bit of a rythym going now.Decent crowd,good atmosphere.COYR
  22. As long as he's impartially shite and comes out for the second half...
  23. Happy to be proved wrong crowdwise,but doesnt look like a night for hoofball
  24. My opinion,we do have an element that over fantasise about Rangers.Would prefer it if we'd distanced ourselves/ let them be seen for what they are.Unfortunatley we allowed ourselves to stoop to their level,to get a 'rise' or whatever from them with the cringeworthy Simmie song,Ibrox disaster among others. But,I think and hope thats a shite phase the N/E was going through(ie the tail end of the oil boom sleaze ).The Hun and Tim have been scummy forever
  25. Aye,was slightly tongue in cheek about Stuartie. I was trying to buy tickets for the Mainer the other week,and it was showing sold out.Came to the day of the game,and some of the sections were more than half empty. Must have ST holders putting something into the club but dont go very often Re the game,looking forward to it but hope Deeks identified how poor weve been from midfiled to attack,let alone sore on the eyes,and we attack with a bit more swagger and intent than of late.
