I know what they look like but you dont, so perhaps if I give too much away it will mean that you bypass my daff posters and go onto DulwichMums on the tree next door which would really p*ss me off!


bbw that is certainly an option for after this method has been tried and tested. In fact I hear DM has already put her posters up. Damn.


Louisa.

I'm so with you Huggers. It really pisses me off. It's bad for the wildlife and just attracts rats/foxes. Chips and cake and a whole box of puffed wheat have been recent offerings. Also, it can cause bloat in large dogs which could be fatal.

I walked the dog at about 5pm and there were several picked daffodils strewn around the grass. If your going to pick them at least take them home!


Actually, if the daffs are almost 'over' dead-heading them is a good thing - it encourages growth in the bulb - thus leading to flowers next year, rather than allowing the flowers to go to seed -where the effort is put into seed production and the plant is more likely to be 'blind' next spring. So pulled-off heads (even where the stalk is also snapped off), as long as the leaves are there isn't always a sign of anti-social behaviour - particularly where the flowers are withering/ browning. Oh, and it wasn't me doing it and writing to justify my actions!

Hi,


As we were entering the park we noticed some children with parents picking Daffs, Once picked they then discarded them on the floor to die. I picked them up and took them home to give them water, I let the daffodils enjoy the serenity and beauty of my home. I did not charge these poor flowers rent nor food to keep them alive, and I consider I was public spirited in keeping these flowers alive. So why did the male in a 4x4 Reliant Robin, with air horns (must be enviromently friendly as all they use is air) toot his horn at me!


Kind regards,

As the "daffs" are nearly over, I took Louisa's poster home, framed it and mounted it in the "smallest room". The poster is a beautiful, Hogarthian piece of work - in the foreground a chubby child, named "Excess", picks the young daffodils that (we are told) represent the working class. The child's docile mother looks on as she draws deep from a huge flagon of Cafe Nero coffee. In her buggy a baby, whose bib bears the legend "The Future", cries unnoticed.


In the background, a small dog shits sausage rolls labelled "EDD", and a succession of effete dandies scoff them delightedly whilst burning ?10 notes. The dog itself has its nose in a bag of Gregg's Steak Slices.


It's a shame I don't have a scanner or I'd post the image here. It's quite affecting.

You know, I think there is: on the right of the scene a gentlemen of the watch sits at a bench, tearing to pieces a take-away curry. Dangling from his bursting waist band is an oversized, yet flaccid, truncheon bearing the legend: 0800 555 111.


This meaning of this part of the picture was unclear to me. Thank you for clearing that up.

Yes to daffodils and no to selfish daffodil picking parents. That was a tough one to decide wasn't it? Calling them losers is a bit stiff though.


As for climate change, Louisa caused it with all that constant fuming. She also made all ghosts with her deathly vitriol causing instant mortification, preventing passing over.


So there.

    • strong agree rockets - not just the kids tho - the number of older people who seem to have been radicalised is more noticeable to me
    • Probably, in the freezer 🤣
    • I've been going to the gym for many years. I was initially disappointed with the refurb when I first arrived back, as it did not have a lot of the previous equipment I used and it seemed under-stocked in terms of machinery. However, upon returning a second time I have now seen that have added more machinery to the main floor. I'm not expecting them to bring back the machines I previously used, but there are some useful additions, such as the vertical climbing machine and there are now 3 stair-masters instead of 2. The weighted hack squat machine and hip thrust machine are plus points as well. Provided it doesn't get overcrowded (like it was when I first arrived) I think it can still be a good place to work out.
    • Scary, scary times. We have all been brought up to fear the 1984-style dystopian world where governments control communication and use it to oppress and yet it seems that actually we needed to fear the people building the communication channels (although clearly Trump is pulling the strings). With news this week that Meta is also relaxing moderation and fact-checking we are heading into uncharted territory.  Labour were very clever with their social media strategy in the run-up to the election and now social media is a huge threat to them and is disrupting and distracting. The concern with social media prior to this was with the threat from the likes of Tik-Tok because of their links to China. Perhaps the only outcome we can wish for is that Trump falls out with Musk (it will definitely happen at some point because those two big egos are like oil and water) and Musk turns the tables on him, but then who will Musk align himself with then. Maybe this will actually end-up with people waking up to the fact that there is a generation of kids who believe everything they read on social media and that that was becoming a dangerous precedent because whomever controlled the platform controlled the narrative.
