  • 1. Why, oh makers of commercial products in glass jars, do you have to use so much glue to stick the labels on? Some of us would like to reuse them.

    2. Half a jar of sun dried tomatoes gone mouldy.

      .

      Petrol.

      Don't use it indoors. Just a dab on a rag and it'll clean all the crud off.

      And then they go in the dishwasher!

            • Wildlife documentaries. I really, really, don't want to watch three baby elelphants drowning, whilst their distressed mothers are unable to help. I know it's nature, but it upsets me, ok?

              • Don't put the TV on, then go get in the bath. It may be a small point, but you can't see it from there. The plants in the lounge can see it, but they're not really interested. I'm not in the lounge either, so I'm not watching it, but I can hear it. It is annoying, and it is a waste of electricity.

                Pillock!

                      • I sowed the pumpkin seeds from the latest edition of GYO, but nothing has come up yet.
                        Am I being impatient or did I plant them too early?
                        I suppose I did plant them too early as it was the October edition!

                          Pumpkin seeds in October????? I sow mine in April / May.

                          Some of us live in the past, always talking about back then. Some of us live in the future, always planning what we are going to do. And, then there are those, who neither look behind or ahead, but just enjoy the moment of right now.

                          Which one are you and is it how you want to be?

                            My rant - well I was going to strim your patch at breaktime. If it hadn't been raining heavily that is. Of course, the BBC weather said it was going to be dry so I guess that means heavy showers all day then.
