And Then A Treat...

   And that would be a treat for the wooden garden shed. Man, it’s been a while and it sure was thirsty. It sucked the wood treatment liquid right off the brush at five pace clear.
Just in time as some big important{?} fellow has declared the end of global warming, I mean how, like, yesterday is that anyway; let’s get boiling. How like, awesome is that then? If your ten... And guess wot, it’s our fault of course.
    I also see old Nigel Mirage has opened a really big can of worms regards our banks and how they treat some customers. This also rolled on to include the BBC. How sad. Anyhoo, the lady who occupied the Corner Extended Office, earning a pretty good living has said Bu-by. Who said women at the top can’t screw-up as well as men then?
    I also see the parent company of British Gas only managed to increase profits by a mere eight - or is it nine? - hundred percent year on year. Another CEO on the average wage. Wot are we paying for lekky again? Let’s give that no never mind, every little helps, right? Cost of living crisis you say?
Anyhoo, with this showing by Mr Mirage and his inclusion, along with his own battle, concern for the common man, isn’t it time, as said before, he rounded-up all those fringe right of centre parties and whipped ‘em into a single manifesto fighting for the majority? Please give us a believable alternative to the drab choice between the present leading totalitarian parties.
    Failing that, wot does the near future hold for us? Listening to that UN fellow boiling away, it’s total control of each and every one of us. No more, no less.
    The only conclusion I can come to is that we are indeed just bits and bytes in some kids computer game in another dimension and right now that bad lad at number 66 has, by various nefarious moves, gained the upper hand. Let’s hope those good boys at number 36 and 51 regain the upper hand when they’ve finished their suppers and get back on their keyboards... Hope springs eternal.
Adendumadodad: I see that foreign fellow wot runs London has
won the legal battle regards ULEZ. Coming to a village near you soon. ULEZ? Regards drivers, shouldn’t that be ULOSE?

Mac,
Try this cheap but effective idea for wood preservative. I learned it from one of the Russian guys at work, and it only needs to be done once.

Take a can of oil based gloss paint (this does not work with water based paint). Note that you'll end up with more than the initial amount. This description assumes a full 1ltr can of paint.

Empty the paint into a larger container.

Take another container and fill it with about 1/4 litre of white spirit. Mix in roughly a third of a tube of transparent silicon sealant.

Mix the white spirit compound into the paint, then refill the paint can. Start off your job with the leftover.

When dry you'll get a kind of smooth matte finish, which is 100% waterproof, extremely tough and heat resistant to about 250*C. Even in the pouring rain it will remain bone dry. It is good for sinking wooden fence posts straight into the soil.

Ripper,
That’s an interesting new one and I may well give it a go - if it ever stops raining...
Thanks for the tip.
