Yeah very nice. We have forest like this around Ludlow, superb views from the hills. I've been to the New Forest, which is a really special place, but you seem to be a little more East. That's a great place to take the dog for a walk though. | |

Not sure how to post the video starting at a particular time, but if you go to the landing at about 9.10 am a Finnair plane almost bites it. | |

The horses roaming wild was what struck me about New Forest, it definitely felt like another country. We get plenty of sheep roaming wild, I'm right next to Clee Hill which has tons of sheep roaming, but wild horses are extremely rare. It's really nice to see them in a natural environment instead of carrying some twat chasing a fox, or some twat policing a football match, or running around a track for twats to bet on. | |

You get wild sheep, really? So they're never shorn and walk around with 50 lbs of wool on them? | |

I'm pretty sure all the adult sheep are ewes, too. Rams are utter bastards and can't be left to roam where people drive, walk and gather. Rams do not fear humans, and they just love ramming into things like people and cars. | |

Well, the storm doesn't seem to have made it here really. Pretty windy, but not "topple things and knock over people" type of windy. | |

Apparently, 122 mph gusts measured at Isle of Wight, which is just under 200 kph, and is the strongest gust ever recorded in England. Most coastal places around 80 mph, which is obviously a severe gale, but winds we see fairly regularly. | |

30 mph winds will rearrange your outdoor furniture. That's about as strong as they get in St Louis. Occasional gusts above that, but nothing sustained. I can't really imagine 100 mph winds. Like looking out the window and seeing some bit of garbage casually whipping past as fast as an MLB pitcher's fast ball. I don't even think I want windows at that point. | |

Depends on who owns it. Can't speak for the US, but most farmers and ranchers in Canada are pretty chilled. You can generally even hunt on their land without asking, as long as you're not bothering their crops or livestock. If they don't want you there, they just ask you nicely to leave. But most farms and ranches on the prairies are pretty big so unlikely they'll come across you anyways. | |

Yeah I don't think there is anything like a commons in Canada either. Maybe an arrangement where two or three neighbouring ranchers share access to each other's land if they're raising different kinds of animals, but nothing where any old person can just go and take his livestock to graze. | |

I think the notion of common land is really, really old in England. Back in the day, when Kings and Nobles owned most of the land, peasants were given rights to certain stretches of land for grazing. These rights have never been revoked, so people still take advantage. | |

There was a farmer who shot dead two burglars as they tried to flee from his house. He went through legal hell before finally being cleared. The fact they were trying to flee made it a very complex case, and it dragged on for years, seriously affecting the mental health of the farmer. He was hailed a hero by a large number of people who feel that homeowners should have the right to defend their property against thieves. I happen to agree. If you are a burglar, it's a risky career choice and you take the consequences when they come, whether that be jail or a shotgun wound. | |

This current storms seems exceptional, it doesn't seem like it to me but I think we largely missed it here. It was certainly very windy today, with trees uprooted locally, but there's no damage to our property that I'm aware of. If it was coming from the east I'd be a lot more concerned, we're exposed in that direction. This storm is probably a once-a-decade storm, while the one we had two days ago was a three-times-a-year storm. | |

Tories having a hard time of it these days. Late and behind the rest of Europe on sanctioning Russian oligarchs (while pretending to be "leading the way,") while at the same time not wanting to offend some of their biggest donors. | |

Probably because we've been training their military since 2015, but we probably need to ask them again in a "People's Vote" just to be sure they understood the question properly. | |

I'm going to go out on a limb and say they respect out posture with regards Russia, compared with an EU that has allowed its biggest country to become utterly reliant on Russian gas. Given Ukraine has a high number of nationalists, they might even respect the British for putting our own national interests first. | |

Overall, the Met police seem to be shit in a lot of ways. Some protestors occupy a Russian oligarch's empty mansion in London? Better send a dozen police vans. Some regular person's house gets burgled? No time for that. | |

Comparing sandwich-renamers to Churchill-haters now. Try to keep some perspective. It's a sandwich. It's their pub, they can call it what they want. If you don't like it, eat somewhere else. But don't try to make a culture war issue out of it. It's not. | |

It's the way they report things, the language they use, that makes it different. The Guardian is not going to make a big deal over a sandwich. Like, if some woke parliament passed a law saying they had to call it a ploughperson's, and one pub in Cornwall refused to do so, the Guardian would not splash a big headline about it. Neither would most papers. The DM does this kind of thing on a regular basis. | |
