  5. Thanks for the lead, John.

    I am really starting to get p++++d off with all this Google security. Maybe its beacause I am in Angola and the serrvewrs here must be well known as conduits for spam but there are less and less blogs I can post comments on.

    I tried to post a comment on the Idiot Gardener but after going through the whole rigmarole of logging on again and word verification and typing in my blood group I got: Your current account (tomgowans@flordita.com) does not have access to view this page. Please log out and sign in with another account.

    So I can read his post (and I enjoyed doing so) but I cannot commnent.

    All I wanted to tell him was that I would get him a bag of the seed the farmers use here and try and get it back to UK for him along with instructions for a successful crop.

    So I hope he swings by and reads your post and comments!

    Sorry I am using your blog as a message board, John, but blame Google accounts, racist bastards!

  8. John,

    Thanks for that and thanks once again for bringing this genuine gem to our attention.

    I read his post, 'The Difference Between Men and Women' and was already laughing. Then I went on to read the post about Lloyds TSB and had to stop, I haven't had the stents put in yet so there was a distinct possibility I was about to die laughing. And I haven't had supper yet so that would have been a shame.

  12. The Comment form that the Idiot Gardener is using is the most likely reason for people not being able to Comment. I know I've said this before, but instructions for changing it (to Full Page) are on my 18 August 2011 post.

    I also think that the British growing season is too short for sweet potatoes but he could use an old Maori trick and use charcoal to keep the earth warm for a longer season. Not hot charcoal you Idiot - Heat retentive black charcoal.

  13. Did I say 18 August? I meant 17 August.

  14. You're right; that was a great post, although I must admit, when I started reading it, I thought it was written from the point of view of a turkey about to be separated from its head. (Tomorrow is Thanksgiving in the U.S. so turkey is on my brain.)
