Possibly - but I always considered Uncle Rufus to be a much more sensible Bear.....

One thing I've noticed about the recent food pictures - a lot of the cutlery is upside down. Irrespective of whether they show left or right handed/pawed subjects, the forks are pointing towards the diner. Is this a coded message that, in the creator's opinion, the subject is guilty of culinary crimes and his 'personal weapon' has been turned to face him, like a sword at a court martial verdict? Or is it a well observed trait of the subject - i.e. Uncle Rufus liked flicking his olives from a pizza at the other diners too?

🤣

I'm waiting until he sets up a Just Giving page and then I'd encourage everyone to give him a penny, or a cent, and then see what the receipt processing costs are - wouldn't take much to exceed his net worth.

Nope - it means Uncle Rufus has snuck in and is scoffin' someone else's din dins whilst they nip off for a badly timed wee wee.  Rufus was well known and rather an expert at such scurrilous deeds....

Oh, I get that. But unless you have a garden inside a Tardis, don't you eventually run out of space???

New Plant = New Pot….that is like deep dude.

 

Is that a new kind of Pot? And can we please define exactly what kind of ‘Pot’ and ‘Plant’ we are talking about here, as I am easily confused, especially at this time of night and with this level of headache.

 

Because as someone wise once said….”one man’s ’Pot Plant’ may not necessarily be another’s POT PLANT’….or ‘New Plant’.  Or ‘New Pot’….sort of fing.”

 

Like just saying….man…….sorry what was I saying…… has anyone got any pizza coz like I really starvin…🤪

Yeah that and Spotted Dick is probably one of the reasons that while almost every city in the world will have a "Chinatown"  where you can try   culinary delights, you'll be looking far and wide in vain to find an "Englandtown"

That was the mice in our shed (the one also referred to as “the summerhouse”). The mice were removed. The smell took a little longer.

Mice can be easily solved.

Today was forecast to be overcast but dry and importantly with overnight temperatures above 5°C.

 

So it seemed a good day to start building steps down the terracing from the upper slopes to the lower slopes.  All nicely marked out on the concrete plinth, I had just got the first block seated and level in both directions and the heavens opened.  With a wheelbarrow full of mortar, there seemed little choice but to battle on.   An hour and a half later and I was p'ssed wet through but had the bottom layer all but complete and an empty wheelbarrow.  Retreat to the warmth seemed the honourable thing to do.

Isn't that similar to the way the Anhk-Morpork Post Office tried to solve the infestation of their letter boxes by snails?

 

Quote

“We got a bit carried away,” said Moist. “We were a bit too creative in our thinking. We encouraged mongooses to breed in the posting boxes to keep down the snakes…”
Lord Vetinari said nothing.
“Er… which, admittedly, we introduced into the letter boxes to reduce the number of toads…”
Lord Vetinari repeated himself.
“Er… which, it’s true, staff put in the posting boxes to keep down the snails…”
Lord Vetinari remained unvocal.
“Er… These, I must in fairness point out, got into the boxes of their own accord, in order to eat the glue on the stamps,” said Moist, aware that he was beginning to burble.
“Well, at least you were saved the trouble of having to introduce them yourselves,” said Lord Vetinari cheerfully. “As you indicate, this may well have been a case where chilly logic should have been replaced by the common sense of, perhaps, the average chicken.”

At least with post boxes no one is likely to die through ingesting larger and larger creatures.....

As it's the first new pot we've bought for years, I don't see where you get the idea from we have so many.

 

Well I didn't know that!

 

I was just working on the not unreasonable assumption that a) as implied by your original post garden centre visits are not uncommon, ergo neither is pot acquisition, and b] you do not have infinite space in your garden.

 

I am happy to stand corrected.
