Natch I up landlord

Dear rest-of-humanity, please stop greeting every unexpected but reasonably explicable happening with the phrase "John, what have you done now?". While it's rather nice to be assumed to be weakly godlike, I am in no way responsible for the effects of the wind or VirginMedia's shonky IP provision, and my computer is not able to restart fires at a distance. Please begin to think before speaking, otherwise I shall be forced to employ sarcasm and/or comic juxtaposition.

Random other media object of the week: Radio four talk to some ex BRIXMIS types. All very fine.

Soil is clearly the right answer, as although it is a subset of dirt, one cannot grow tomatoes in asbestos.

Not safely anyway.

It's dirt! Dirt!

It's all dirt. All of it. Filth.

Dirt. But if you're paying for it, it's potting soil.

Dirt = paint, grass stains and ketchup, unless TV is lying to me again.

You just made me spit beer on my keyboard. Well done, that chap.

Depends, really. If i bought it or have cultivated it for a while, it's soil. If it's in someobdy else's yard or on my shirt, it's dirt.

No one expects the comic juxtaposition.
I'll go away now.

Plants grow in the soil, kids play in the dirt, and we're all of the earth.
