Mid-morning roundup with your host, Neasden Postlethwaite.

[hirez]

Ran round the site yesterday (avoiding the cricket nets) and didn't expire. Good. JH-R 1, lung bugs 0.

Threw raw materials together in approximation of food, including fresh herbs from the garden. Once I'd wrestled them from the slavering teeth of a mob of slugs. I'll have to do something about them that doesn't involve explosives or launching them into the next street with a fire extinguisher. We got complaints last time. JH-R 1, slugs 0. (But they're grim and mithering invertebrates and they'll just come back like Sam Raimi villains.)

Via Boing^2:

"Everything you love, everything meaningful with depth and history, all passionate authentic experiences will be appropriated, mishandled, watered down, cheapened, repackaged, marketed and sold to the people you hate."

Abso-fucking-lutely.

From this. (Mr. Jalopy is a jolly good chap.)

I swear to god somebody said they used coffee for slug control on GQT a few years ago.

(I suddenly yearn for a garden and a 1985 diesel volvo estate)
