Er.. perhaps I didn't make myself clear. These aren't exactly 'basking'
sharks - they're 'Great Whites'. You'll take to them like a sheep to water
I'm sure. There is a local one-armed, one-legged chap who hops about
organising 'Swim with the Sharks' trips on his boat for a truly bargain
fee - another genuine Australian adrenaline sport not to be missed.
Not sure if you'll need your fleeces - or even your woolies - as the
temperature never drops below about 22 C except in the drive-in bottle shops
which, unsurprisingly, is where the locals spend most of their time and
money.

There were two pals walking through the veldt in Africa when a lion started
showing an interest. One of them bends down and pulls on a pair of running
shoes. His mate says, "are you crazy, you'll never outrun the lion". The other
guy says, "I don't have to outrun the lion, I just have to outrun you".
If I remember correctly, the guy with the running shoes was Irish, bastards.

I mind -for no particular reason I can fathom-the one about the Roman
Legionnaire who was getting bluidy fed up wi' a wee bluish feller who
kept dancing around & making rude gestures just out of spear-shot.
Having convinced his commandant that this was in general bad for
morale, Lars the Lad set off leading a small troop doubletime out the
gate. Of course Jockie melted in between the standing stones at top
speed. Lars was sore enough not to think much about stractics &
tategy, so he left the eagles-and the rest of his chums-in the dust
while he took off in hot pursuit. After a brief silence, there comes
the sound of terrific melee from behind the stones, and poor old Lars
reappears, plumes dragging and arms waving: "Back! Back! It's a trap!
There's two of them!"

I didn't recognize any of the common names for pyrethrum.
We use Marigolds with some success to keep the bugs at bay.

Hurrying to post, I missed this little historical nugget.
Sherman didn't like tomatoe's ?
Bush 1, didn't like broccoli.
There's a trend here methinks.
Do you think it's something do with the Washington D.C.*water* ?

I was thinking more of his scorched earth policy, but you do raise an
interesting point-where was it 'they' discovered vast quantities of
meds in city water supplies?

not to worry, I saved lots of seeds...

What, he even scorched the slug's too? What a cad !
That would be enough to put even conway off his grit's.

It's all well and fine having meds distributed in the city water, but are
they in the correct dosage ?

I don't think it's limited to any one place Val. Until people learn to take
unused meds back to the chemist/pharmacy/drugstore to be properly disposed
of rather than dumping them down the toilet, it will only get worse. It's
possibly part of the reason we're seeing all kinds of illnesses showing up
in people.

p.s. I think I've been on this particular soapbox before.
