Ok, but you know the two -legged ones with wings are the only ones you're allowed to shoot. The ones without wings are called "peasants", got that?

But I agree, a lot of peasants seem almost classifiable as something approaching nearly human.

[springs]

Yes, peasants in the allotment; riff raff. Steal the onions and everything. Shoot 'em i say. At least the pheasants aren't so picky.

I told my kids it was seed time soon, the groans are still going on. Last year there was a very odd ecosystem in our house for about 6 weeks; photosynthesis on a huge scale. I'm sure there's a sci fi story in that somewhere.

Some day, when I become a more industrious out-doory type, I plan to grow some herbs and veggies in my garden. The thing that's putting me off is the weeding. If someone could tell me which ones are edible, I could let 'em grow without embarrassment

[springs]

Ha ha, you are in the right place my friend; Oregano, grows like a weed, our garden's like an italian paradise. Thyme; ditto. And anything you don't like eating, no probs; curly kale and jerusalem artichokes, like weeds they are, grow through anything. Runner beans; pah, no hope.

[Interference]

I've no idea what a runner bean is, and that's even after appearing in a play alongside one (I was a broccoli )

[springs]

Well, I have to guess you were one who wore the large green wig - you should have directed it; saved yourself the pain.

um, concerned now; you're a veggie, they're, like, your staple diet, unlike me where they're the added asides hidden to ensure my kids eat them. Holly on presented with a runner bean can tell me the variety; note to you must actually eat veggies occasionally, not just linda mccartney pies, which apparently include snake from time to time as not considered meat.

[Interference]

Are you serious about the snake?

It was my first foray onto the stage since my triumphant (amateur) performance as Hamlet's uncle. I considered it a step in the right direction

[springs]

Absolutely, corn snakes apparently.

Cladius, pah, how many people have played Claudius. Now, a brocoli plant, original, allows you to put your stamp on it; although not on stage, please, imagine the mess.

[Interference]

Please tell me "corn snakes" are a variety of corn. Pretty please......

Well, that was my approach. I mean, Hamlet - pah! Only a one song and that's only for the chick who's about to top 'erself. Waste of good theatre, I says. Broccolis, though - Singing, dancing and talking. Now, that's what I call versatile.

[springs]

and hair; don't forget hair with attitude.

Absolutely, corn snakes are vegetables. They're buggers to catch, though, almost as if they're alive...

The high point of my theatre career was, briefly, no, sorry there really was no high point, how I ever passed was a mystery to me and most of my year who all disowned me for the 3rd year production (worth half the total marks).

in the end I did a solo bit of work at a school for kids with learning needs and got a first for the production so, see I am very bossy. The kids were stars; I just turned up. And painted a fence. And made some nice ears and tails; that was it. my career in fooling auditors was underway.

I'm googling this and if you're right.........

I did the same for a couple of years - two "special needs" shows which I coerced the cast into creating for themselves They loved doing it, I loved that they loved doing it, egos satisfied all round, pay-packet earned - and I managed to avoid painting anything, though I did some CGI backdrops for the second show.

This is the bit where Timba says, "Hmm, maybe I was wrong about these guys being funny"

[springs]

No, he won't; he's asleep in his hammock, unconcious from the glue fumes. I didn't get paid, btw, poor show all round; except the donkey ears, they were fab.

Um, I think I'll vanish before the outcome of the google search.

As well you should, but you're too late

Actually, I can't see anything in the top page or so, so I'll have to guess it's this week's Urban Legend. At least, I hope so. Some L McC stuff is even cool for vegans, after all.

[springs]

Well, if you will processed food, it's all pot luck. Um, you're not a vegan, are you? That's one I struggle to accomodate; cheese is a staple diet in our house. We stick it on every wall; helps with the insulation in these straigthened times.

[Interference]

I tried for a while - Peter Graham pointed out what cows get up to in order to provide us with milk. I managed to cut dairy milk (relatively easy as I'd already switched to herbal teas), but there's no alternative (on a budget) to cheeses.

I mentioned this to my pet Christians last week and they started to dance. I think they might have misheard me
